Eschew deceased equine flagellation!

Agreed, ezypikens, this is getting tedious.

Y'all are getting lathered up over an incomplete, poorly written acoount of an outbreak of stupidity.

Can we get back to somthing of substance or that matters?

It's a bit hard to rearrange ONE eyewitness account in a story. You've claimed I did, go ahead and prove it.

We have zero evidence this guy actually went home and got a firearm, then turned around and went back intent on murdering the assailants.

Clearly "a bit hard" is not the same thing as impossible. :rolleyes:

And you believe this guy actually knows someone he doesn't know the name of actually went home and got a gun before coming back?

That to me is the flag that says he is unreliable as an eyewitness. Never mind the fact that the person saying this actually assualted the unknown guy in question. He couldn't possibly have made this up to make himself look better or anything.

Nice try, but you haven't proven I rearranged anything. Now come up with some proof or get off my back.
 
Chief, you just directly contradicted the only eye-witness quote in the story. The fact that YOU THINK he's unreliable doesn't change the fact that you contradicted him. I just posted the proof--but I don't teach reading comprehension.

Good-bye.

Nice, insults again. A mod should really do something about this.

I have questioned the credibility of this eye-witness from the begining. Perhaps you missed that, and is the reason you can't seem to understand the argument.
 
Good-bye

One entry found for good-bye.

1 : a concluding remark or gesture at parting -- often used interjectionally
2 : a taking of leave
 
Just read the article, and the resultant posts.

Only a few things can really be said.

One, stupidity can be expensive, and lethal.

Two, social darwinisim at work again.
 
This is all I am going to say, don't start insuting me. The term, "witness" should be reserved for 'unrelated and uninvolved parties that observe an event'. Using witness to describe someone engaging in the criminal act that served as a catalyst for another is a bit too much.

This person was part of both the catalyst event and the resultant event, which semi-precludes him from being a witness. There is NO WAY he could have know for sure if the shooter went home. How would he know this? Did he see the guy go in his home? If he did, why doesn't he show the cops where the guy lives so they can arrest him or look up property records and announce the suspect's name. The statement from this so-called witness is presumptious at best. We cannot know if it is true or not. I can point out a number of stories where something happened and some phantom third-party was invented by someone already perpetrating a crime.

I dealt a lot with inner-city gans in my earlier days. When there was a skirmish and someone got shot, the victim normally would invent some phantom assailant as to not rat out another gang member or incrimiate themselve's in gang activity. This happens fairly often here, not sure about where some of you folks are or where this incident occurred.

The shooter could have had the gun in his car and simply drove away and came back, we don't know. Assuming that either you or this alleged witness could know is sheer folly, because the story eludes to the facts that:

They did not know the shooter because he was not named, and the police do not know who he is or where he lives. How can you know someone went home unless you saw them or know who they are and where they live? if they do, why isn't this guy in custody then?



If you feel the need to insult people because they do not presume to know what you presume to, perhaps this discussion is a bit too much for you.
 
Hmmmm - well, I really reckon this been there, done that, and some - with some less than pleasant exchanges.

I am trying to watch here for Preacherman who is away and have been NRA teaching all day so missed some of the ''fun''. I doubt frankly there is much more useful input possible - and speculation has already reached extremes in some respects.

Maybe we will know more in the future. For now - enough!
