Golriz Gahraman allegedly attempted shoplifting

[Oh_hunnihunni]

When a member of the public, an ordinary citizen does something silly, like drink and drive, or shoplift, or have an affair or whatever, it doesn't usually make the papers. There aren't journalists asking people to come forward and tell tales. Careers are usually safe. If it reaches court there is little chance of the neighbours following details on the local media.

And don't tell me it doesn't happen. Anyone who claims to have never ever stuffed up badly is delusional. Or deadly boring.

But as soon as it is one of the folk who dared to put themselves on the public stage, the slavering dogs are out for the juicy bits. It is rather revolting, imo.
