Would the arrest have attracted so much attention? (Outside of the usual just-the-facts, nondescript police blotter.) The only local media appearances Chris has made were in fluff pieces (that Bob 'n' Barb likely weaseled attention toward) and student-run newspapers (not that PVCC is a particularly thriving campus, but that has to be a really slow news day). In the eyes of the average Charlottesvillian, what makes this police action against some uppity trash so notable?
As far as Snyder is concerned, unlike lots of fiftysomethings in the area, he and his bevy of supporters understand the Internet, and would probably be savvy enough to calmly explain the Chris issue without invoking the c-word*.
