Women in liberated Paris had their heads shaved in public for collaborating with the Nazis.. That's a start.

I don't know about cutsey little rhymes, but retaliation would be well deserved. The Karens out there need to feel what they force others to feel.

At the very least they should get swastikas painted on their front doors but hey. St. Louis has lots of shootings anyway. Nobody will know for sure why their neighbor disappeared.

But... They were such good little comrades! They were only obeying the dear leader! Their little hearts swelled with pride from causing people harm. How dare people ignore the dictates of the beloved leader?

Snitches get stitches. These rat finks should have remembered this before they squealed on their fellow citizens.

Excellent. The snitches got caught by the man taking names. Could be worse. They could receive rats.

If they're not willing to go public with an official complaint, maybe these people should keep their mouths shut.

I would just address them as "Comrade" from now on. And -- I'd bet money that they were all Dems.

America is truly getting a preview/test drive of what it was like to live in the Soviet Union. Hint: it's where all "progressive" roads lead.

Public records are...public records. Confidential snitch lines are anathema to open government even if government wants to hang onto its low-hanging fruit.

I agree with every post here. The snitches must have believed those Crime Stoppers signs that tell you to report a crime anonymously at a toll-free number.
Now I have to heat up some tar and pluck some chickens.

Waaay back in time, when corporal punishment was the standard treatment for ADHD, the small school I attended at the time was having a rehearsal for the 8th grade graduation. We were seated in the school auditorium. In the driveway of the school there was a flattened and dried body of a toad that had been run over. Someone had picked it up and it was being sailed about the auditorium like a frisbee from student to student (actually, just boy to boy). The English teacher who was stuck with the duty of organizing this rehearsal demanded the toad be given to her, and that we identify the culprit who brought it in. We all knew who had done it, but nobody snitched (even though the boy who had brought the toad in was generally disliked). This teacher was actually our favorite teacher, kind of reminded me of Eve Arden in Our Miss Brooks. But she put up with no nonsense. She vowed to give each boy in the 8th grade class a lick with her paddle if we didn't tell her who had done the dastardly deed. Nobody did. So she scheduled the time for the execution of her punishment. The girls in the class thought this was totally unfair and many signed a letter to the teacher asking the teacher not to carry out the punishment - but if she did, then she should spank the girls, too. I don't know if they thought this would somehow convince her not to spank us boys, but it didn't. She told all the girls who had signed the letter to line up with us and take the punishment they had volunteered for - and they did. But through it all, nobody snitched! But the guy who brought the toad in was dealt with by the boys for not turning himself in and saving us all a paddle swat.

Snittchers should get a little “Honorary communist snitch” pin to wear proudly on their shirt.

If you think you have a legitimate complaint, you should state it. That gives the accused a chance to refute your allegations. Hiding behind a secret hot line is cowardly and makes it way to easy too accuse. Have the courage of your convictions, or shut up!

But, but, it worked so well for the Ukranian-hoax whistleblower!
They should have called Adam Schiff's office with with their snitching.
Eric Ciamarelli, call your office. Eric Ciamarelli, call your office. Has anyone heard from Eric lately?

Hey, Snitch. That's a nice front yard you have. I don't know why anyone would use grass/weed killer to create a bad word by killing some of the grass. How many years will it take you to get grass to grow again?
