$1:
The town of Trail is still on edge, with reports of another innocent man refused service at a local grocery store, because he resembled the first one and some local youths made a scene.
For the family targeted, the man and his wife hope Trail is small enough to quickly clear up the misunderstanding, though they would like to hear from the girls — perhaps through a letter of apology.

A letter of apology is the least these girls should be forced to write. And facebook didn't convict this man, the girls, and then all the other kids and adults that spread this crap did.

Completely believable.
Living in a small community can have some huge downsides. One of them is when a situation is blown way out of proportion, assumptions are made, and then someone goes facebooky with it and people eat it up without consideration to the actual facts.
I am so glad to not be caught up in the facebook bullshit like so many are. Not something I will ever sign up for.
