When Denise Grollmus wrote “Repeat Offender” back in August, we considered it little more than another Weird Tale from the Fringes of Northeast Ohio Law Enforcement. The story chronicles Cuyahoga Falls cop Ralph Flynn, who appears to have an impressive history of beating women and young girls.
But our readers apparently found this a fascinating saga, and have been debating it ever since. Some believe Flynn’s a scumbag. Some believe we’re scumbags for implying that Flynn’s a scumbag. Needless to say, this intellectual joust has reached untold literary heights, with poetry such as “You stupid pathetic dicksponge” and “hey you shitmopped bilgecrapping asswitch.” In short, it’s the kinda debate Plato would have had if he lived in 2007 Cleveland.

Boy , you writers really know how to keep the drama going. I can honestly say I don’t think those childish thoughts of anyone. But I can say that people are so quick to judge one another without listening to reason or to the other side. To some there is no explaination for anyhting, it is black and white no gray area. And to them I say I hope they are never put in a situation where the government decides that you are guilty of a crime no matter what, no ifs, ands or buts.It is funny in your comments above that you say some think that some people think that “we’re” scumbags for thinking Ralph is a scumbag. It sounds like you(clevescene) has convicted Mr. Flynn before he even set foot in a trial. Again, people judging other people or situations that they know nothing about. I kind of disappoint myself by falling into this iggnorant discussion with others who comment including this one started by clevescene. But I get disgusted with the comments about Mr. Flynn whom people commenting know nothing about him. My point being, Clevescene adds this blog and quotes,”You pothetic dicksponge”, and “shitmopped bilgecrapping asswitch”, but you refuse to say anything like some think this was just an accident and that the children were accidentally injured and Mr. Flynn should be exonerated from all charges. Heaven forbid any of this happens to anyone reading this article, I don’t think that until it does, anyone will understand.Clevescene is just as bad as the ABJ, cop hating pukes.
Absolutely Amazing..
The person that wrote this article needs to learn what real journalism is about.
This is just another fine example of trash writing.
One would think this came from a cop hater.
I guess I’m a scumbag for thinking that he is a scumbag. You don’t get 3-4 counts of domestic
violence, for a freaking “accident” you idiots.
And why is it whenever you feel the need to write any thing you attack the mother of the kids. and blame her for the actions of the worthless ass wipe that hurt the kids in the first place. WTF! you people are delusional!
I did not write those comments about Mr Flynn but the two idiots above that think he is Jesus Christ, and sin free. This crap has happened before and he got off. How many more times can this guy do something like this and get away with it.
And Yes Terry it is a horrible thing that has happened. But he should pay for his “accident” even if it only was one.
Why in the hell should someone go to prison for an accident. And there was not 3-4 counts of domestic violence. Only one and that was not domestic violence.According to Scarsella even if you threaten to spank your kids it’s domestic violence threats. I don’t think he is J.C. I just think he is being unjustly accused as I would you if you were in his shoes. And before you open you mouth and say you would never put yourself in this position, it very well could have been anyone. I don’t agree with the charge wether it had been Ralph, you , me or even Amy. It doesn’t fit. And the incident before has absolutly no relavency toward this one.
