To the person "Interpol" who keeps referring to certain users on this board as racist trolls. I for one do not appreciate that. You know nothing about me.
When I first joined this MB, my first post was called Choices. In it I mentioned the possibility that Officer Wilson suffered a broken eye socket. My source WAS NOT a media site but an inside source which I cannot reveal to trolls such as yourself. But as soon as the article came out the next day I ran with it. My mistake...never cared for media anyway.
The CT scan of course could not be Wilsons....no one could have access to that but it could have been used just to show what that type of fracture may appear but fractures can be different not always the same.
If it comes out that Officer Wilson has no facial injury, I apologize to the world.
Take your name calling and stick it.
Now I remember why I quit these ridiculous message boards and social sites to begin with. TOO much drama!
I reject any political forum rebuttal that essentially goes "you hurt my feelings". If you need to cry, go get some tissue. If you're sick and tired of these boards, then log out for awhile. That's what I do sometimes. But I must come back to them because they are typically overrun with individuals who are on the extreme of right-wing ideology.
How do I know that statement is not conjecture? Study every poll you come across on a political forum. The results always skew heavily in favor of where right-wing ideologues are on issues. These are people who seem to spend all their time on here, constantly complaining about Obama, about black people, about immigrants, about anyone different than themselves, about anyone who has a different way of seeing the world than them.
They cast all liberal and moderate people like myself as lazy layabouts even though THEY are the ones who occupy and dominate these forums while moderate and liberal folks are out in the world working and conducting their lives. The irony is uproarious to me.
As for Ferguson, I appreciate all posters who lead me to facts. Cut the shit, that's my m.o., and there's a lot of shit, Exhibit A being this thread and along the way in the pages and pages of writing that people can go through and read, it needs to be called out when the entire premise of a thread is built on information that has been thoroughly debunked.
Up until I said anything that went against the premise of this thread, the average reader might simply swallow it whole as though it were the truth. I find that highly dangerous.
Right off the top today when I read that post I thought, "Wait a sec, how come we're only learning on Day #10 that the officer had a significant injury to his face? Would that not have been something that somebody close to the officer would have leaked already?".
In an interview that the officer's girl "friend" gave on the radio, she did not mention any kind of injury to Wilson. It was a lengthy interview, too.
So I went to google and looked up information on the source of this story. Some mainstream media outlets began to roll with it today, only to back up. One reporter who ran with it deleted her tweets today and apologized for moving the story forward without properly vetting it.
I never said the officer did not have a wound to his face. I have only ever argued that everything in Jim Hoft's blog at Gateway Pundit doesn't even reach the lowest bar of credibility. He's just making things up as he goes along and it needed to be said.
What makes me angry are people who expect me to be convinced by a load of bull. Don't pee on my shoe and tell me it's raining. Give me correct information or get ready to be called out.
There are more reasonable people in the real world than on here. Why that is, I'm not sure. Maybe they find perpetually angry right-wingers boring, petty, tiresome. Maybe it's because the internet is the last refuge for racist trolls to feel comfortable spreading their vile nonsense without any repercussions.
Well, I'm happy to say that I'm in the reasonable people camp, and it simply needed to be said that it's in the interest of a lot of desperate people here for the officer to have as significant a wound as possible on his face in order to give them a sick kind of hope that an unarmed 18-yr old deserved to die.
I'll believe this injury when we have better information, not just the rantings and ravings of another right-winger on the lunatic fringe with a blog.
