I understand what he's trying to say, but for crying out loud, this is a forum...not a classroom. Always nitpicking at semantics... Semantics convey meaning. It give us insight into the way people think. He thinks there's no moral distinction between a crook who got shot and a victim who got shot. You should go back and read that EKG thread. You tried to act like specific descriptive language DOESN'T matter when talking about something you have very rudimentary knowledge of......

Could you refresh my memory by providing a link? I don't recall expressing an opinion on EKG, as I know next to nothing about them. Thanks.

The "smart" thing for the police to do isn't disclosing information about injuries to the officer.
The smart thing is to let witnesses tell factually incorrect versions of what happened, then, if needed, shed them in court with proof that the officer sustained serious injuries.
This isn't checkers, it's chess.

The best part is that now you admit you don't have a clue, yet you typed and typed and typed.........

After reading back through that thread, I have come to the conclusion that TRH is full of it. Yeah, he'd doesn't remember the ten pages he participated in. Likely story........

I THINK that if one puts "Link:" and than a space, THEN pastes that big ole' string of code, that you'll be able to put that thread back up. I'd like to read it, myself. GTC

First, if Wilson's injury had been part of the narrative from the very beginning, it would be a lot more credible than when it is suddenly inserted after a week of rioting.
I agree, but that doesn't make any injuries he incurred any less real. I seem to remember a delay in reporting Zimmermen's injuries too. Of course, I don't believe the reporting of either would have had any real impact on rioting when you're dealing with the class of folks who were engaged in same down in Furgeson.

Where do you believe I said otherwise? Are you ready to make a retraction/apology, goalie? I'm ready to accept it.

I agree, but that doesn't make any injuries he incurred any less real. What you say is true, but from what I understand, we don't know that he incurred any injuries, just that it has been reported that he's injured. And if he has been injured, we don't know that he was injured by Michael Brown. The assertion that he was injured by Michael Brown before he shot him may or may not be true; based on the evidence I've seen, I choose until further notice to believe that it is not.

That puts you in the same boat as Sharpton.
