Subject: RE: BS: Traveller Discrimination Update...
Amos, I had to agree with Howard somewhat. It is very difficult to take Larry's allegations seriously when he fails to mention vital facts like the use of a fake name. Using a fake name is not something that a law-abiding citizen does. We can argue that it's culturally based or not, but I'm pretty sure every Traveller knows that applying for false identification documents is breaking the law.

And if her PO Box firm is now a dry cleaner, it seems clear that it wasn't a legitimate place (that, as a nomad) she picked up her mail, else she'd know that the place had been out of business long enough to be replaced with dry cleaning equipment.

I failt to see how we should all sympathize with poor Mrs. Toogood. Her past relatively minor crimes are clearly coming back to haunt her because she's being investigate for a major one. This happens to all kinds of people. Once they arrest somewhere, all the old warrants come out of the woodwork.
