Sadly that does increasingly seem to be the case, looking at the police and injustice system. In fact, my sister's oldest child is studying at Berkeley University, and seems to have met the love of her life there - a very nice American guy, who has already spent last Christmas with us. She volunteers in a homeless shelter, and the stories she could tell you about people who had good careers and education, but their lives somehow went off the rails. It's scary.
Anyway, that's a clever move by the FB lady. Ridiculous that people have to go to those lengths though.
