Why would mods of this sub remove such a positive feel good story - on Xmas of all days?

My guess is - because it isn't a real question, it's a discussion thread about the article pretending to be a question.

That story and link has appeared in numerous posts today. Perhaps it was just the repetitiveness that got it removed.

It literally got removed as I was wiping the tears from my face having read the article. A lovely heartwarming story, believe it or not, straight to jail.

I'm pretty sure it was removed because someone else already posted it yesterday or the day before, or possibly both. It's definitely already been posted.
