Bill Jordan?

False informtion ?? < insult removed>

The document presented was the orignal report that someone had bothered to put Bills name in the area's noted for people to understand who was being talked about. Not my alteration, as I already explained. And not false information either . Simply clarification on the part of the publisher of this particular accounting.

Now if you bothered to look up that much information you should have also by now found enough references to this incident, and Bills roll in it by a number of valid sources. This has been presented by other gun writers and historians and therefore nothing false about the data, even though Bill's name was used by someone other than me in this particular accounting.

So what mistake should I man up to, other than to argue with people like you ?

This is really a terrible thing that is happening to a legend and a (more than likely) great man that served his country all of his life . The debate here is making me think that whatever good a man has done in his life will be overshadowed by a very tragic accident . Let's assume the story is true . Is this how the man should be remembered ? I think the tragedy here is that people are wanting to bring up the worst time in somebodies life .

There was a pro baseball player by the name of Robin Ventura . This guy is or will be inducted into the b-ball hall of fame for his stolen base record . Robin was at bat against the Texas Rangers and Nolan was pitching . Nolan tried to earhole him .Robin (a young man fresh out of OSU) decided that he was going to charge the mound and sevre 47yr old Nolan Ryan an azz whoopin deluxe . When he got there Ryan put something on him that Ajax couldnt take off . When it was all said and done no matter how many records Ventura set and broke when his name comes up people say "Wasnt that the guy Nolan Ryan tore the azz off of "

Trying to find truth in Jordans accident is noy a good way to honor his memory .

Men of extremely good character and great intelligence sometimes can do stupid things. I have no problem accepting the fact that the late Mr. Jordan had a terrible lapse of judgement on a particular date and time. As far as I am concerned only one man never made a mistake or did anything stupid. We celebrate his birthday on December
25th!

There has to be an original police report on file somewhere. Perhaps the Chula Vista PD, or whatever county encompasses Chula Vista. Maybe the local sheriff's department did the investigation. Request a Freedom of Information Act disclosure (or the Calif equivalent). We could get the report released, but then they might blacken out the names to protect "privacy". Anybody up to the task ?

Take an Olde Phart's word for it: Yeah, Jordan screwed up. The thing that's important is that ya gotta remember that even the best of the best can screw up in a moment of carelessness.

Omar the Tentmaker wrote about it a thousand years ago:

The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on;
Nor all your piety and wit can lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

I reckon Jordan had many a tear in the dark hours of his nights. He seemed like that kind of guy, the times I met him.

Don't. Screw. Up.
