When I graduated from OSU, the commencement speech was given by Bob Greene (a Chicago Tribune columnist who resigned a couple years later over an affair with a 17-year-old) and was cut short by torrential rain. Sounds like this one was even worse.

"Sources told The Rooster that Pan did not reply to the university’s initial email because he thought it was a prank. Despite describing himself as an inspirational speaker, Pan had never given such a large-scale speech."

Today’s Rooster dispatch is about the Columbus Division of Police once again proving unable or unwilling to investigate crimes committed by one of their own.

Will local legacy media learn a lesson? Consider me skeptical!

Should also note this was written before the FBI busted yet another Columbus cop for doing things like turning off his body camera to have sex in his cruiser while on duty.

Weird how it took the FBI to bust some low-rent pervert!
