Still not sure...

A little more clarification on the story from the post from yesterday, but I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it. Ok, so maybe the boys aren't being charged as harshly as I had originally thought, and maybe they did beat the filter in a way that it wouldn't normally have been beat, but this whole thing still just seems strange to me. Maybe I'm just being a bit too pessimistic, but does something still just not add up still?
