Strong language shouldn’t be seen in Creston newspaper

Using the language you did, without asterisks, was ridiculous. Of course we would know what you meant without spelling out the full words...

(Re: “Carjacking of Creston man ends in shooting in Cranbrook”)

I know from talking to folks around town that I am one of many complaining about the Oct. 11 front page. Using the language you did, without asterisks, was ridiculous. Of course we would know what you meant without you spelling out the full words. Better yet, why not be true artists and find a way to get the story across without that quote and language at all? We don’t need to see that in this world, and certainly my young children don’t need to see it.

It was an incredibly poor decision made by the Advance staff and hopefully there are ramifications for your incompetence and/or lame attempt at boosted sales for the week.
