Didn't know where else to post this, but it's pretty emblematic of how deeply corrupt our society is. Let me know if you think there's a better community to post this in.

Back to the subject, the Streisand Effect is in force (taken down video reuploaded). This is me doing my small part in that.

Police charged one of the members of the crime family, but jordies and his team were still receiving death threats so they decided to take it down rather than risk being murdered in escalation.

I don't think the title is inaccurate. They literally said they took the video down because of the terror attack. Nabbing the fall guy, and doing nothing else pretty much counts as "doing nothing" in my opinion.
