In Missoula the the comments on the today's Missoulian article number more than 180. Some of the remarks are bat crap crazy.
In Great Falls, home town of the accuser, Johnson's reinstatement isn't listed in the top 10 stories for the Great Falls Tribune and hasn't received a single comment. The Trib actually boiled down the reinstatement story into a brief.

In Billings, the same Bill Speltz story that brought out the worst of Missoula drew 39 comments, mostly from people supporting Johnson's return.

Butte: not one comment on Speltz' article
Helena: no response
Bozeman: The Cat land Comical has only posted an article that Johnson can apply for reinstatement. No comments.
Kalispell: Nope
And yet, as I traveled a 360 mile stretch of Montana last week, the only negative remarks about the trial outcome that I heard came from people who assumed that Griz obsessed Missoula would never convict a quarterback.
Griz obsessed? Maybe, but if you read the Missoulian comments, it's pretty clear that obsession doesn't favor Jordan Johnson or UM.
