   This week the Ouray County Plaindealer, a newspaper serving the southern #Colorado mountain community of Ouray, published rape allegations by a 17 year old girl who said the attacks took place at the police chief's house.

   On publication day, in all of the newspaper racks around Ouray, the print editions MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED.

     Personal remark: the County Plaindealer is a completely badass, hard-as-nails name for a newspaper. Perfect for a since-1877-in-the-Rockies paper. Fuck yeah, #journalism.

     Why not send these hardass bad bitches a donation so they can reprint the issue that SOMEONE does not want residents to read? 😀

     "It's pretty clear that someone didn't want the community to read the news this week," wrote Ouray County Plaindealer co-publisher Erin McIntyre in an email to readers. "I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions on which story they didn't want you to read."
