Crimestoppers is a Orwellian word. It should read, “Ratline”. Stop crime? Duh! Get a clue every one.

Replacing a socially acceptable term used as a brand for a public safety organization with street slang is regressive, get a clue.

Why on earth would anyone admire street scum? It’s not cool to be a wigger. It just proves your intellectual and emotional maturity.
