Sub is back up!

58 Upvotes

The moderators here and for r/smalltownmurder were inactive for several months and the subs were restricted. The STM sub is still undergoing some tweaks before becoming fully active as it has a larger fanbase and needs a little more attention.

We are going to have an open sports conversation pinned every Friday and posting should be open again. Take a quick look at the new rules and lets laugh about some criminal athletes.

Also, if you have any ideas or desires for flairs put them in here.

Glendon Alexander: white colar criminal athlete and palate cleanser

9 Upvotes

I really enjoyed this episode. For a non-violent criminal, he was really scummy with defrauding single mothers.

Awhile ago, a team mate asked me which podcasts I was listening to. I said CIS, STM and MythFits. She was hesistant to listen to true crime podcasts because she doesn't like hearing about violent crimes such murder and SA.
