Woman Alerts Police of Hostage Situation Through Pizza Hut App
mpicpp writes with this ABC News story about how a Pizza Hut app may have saved a woman's life. "A Florida mother held hostage by her boyfriend used the Pizza Hut app to notify police she needed help, authorities said. Cheryl Treadway, 25, was allegedly being held at knife point in her home by Ethan Nickerson, 26, in Avon Park on Monday, the Highlands County Sheriff's Office told ABC News today. 'She was held hostage by him all day,' Public Information Officer Nell Hays said. Nickerson took away Treadway's phone, police said, but she was eventually able to persuade him to let her order a pizza using her Pizza Hut app. 'She told him, "The kids are hungry. Let's order a pizza. Let's get them some food,"' Hays said, noting that's when Treadway was able to sneak in a written message through the delivery. Along with her order of a small, classic pepperoni pizza, she wrote: 'Please help. Get 911 to me,' according to police. She also wrote: '911hostage help!'"
but ignore commenting on the morality of the man, who through violence and force held her hostage?
A curious way of phrasing it. I would have said that I simply did not address it, but I guess ignore works too. BTW, you do realize that that is different from approving of it, right? Because I'm getting the feeling that you don't.
What is the world coming to when, if you want to make a joke about one thing, you need to explicitly address anything and everything else that could possibly be addressed because someone will take your lack of addressing it to mean the worst thing possible?
