    If they even think about charging Goodwolf, people will need to go down and protest.

    Too bad the city couldn't be bothered to protect our data with the same enthusiasm they're putting into trying to cover their asses. Goodwolf respected our right to know how serious of a breach this was, unlike Ginther. He was dishonest with the police department, city officials, and the citizens for weeks. He only came out and told the truth about the severity of the attack AFTER Goodwolf made it known. Ginther and his cohorts deliberately withheld how bad it was to the detriment of everyone. Instead, Ginther held off, not wanting to admit they'd BLOWN IT, and numerous identity thefts occurred that could've been prevented. That data should NEVER have been available online like it was. There are protocols that were ignored for the purpose of preventing situations EXACTLY LIKE THIS.
