I'll tell you the same thing I tell them. I don't want to give you the correct answer. I want you to know why the correct answer is correct. That way I'm not answering a single question for you, I'm giving you the knowledge to answer any question related to that topic. No offense, but i spent a couple of hours looking for proof that shots were fired from different vehicle other than the Jeep in the CHOP zone. I am not falling for that again. You have to have some level of credibility before you can play the "I am a teacher" game. When a student proves a teacher wrong then the teacher has to provide something to back up his position other than just "I say so". This is not anything personal about your character. I am not calling you a liar. I am just saying that given the number of false claims you have made recently (eyewitness testimony is not evidence, Proud Boys only fight in self defense, etc) I don't think it is out of line to ask you to give some proof to back up your claims.

I am not falling for that again. It's very simple Fred, just reread what you've already read about the arrests and tell me what they were charged with and why that makes the two situation different. It won't even take five minutes. Also, I would ask that you cease repeating blatant falsehoods about statements I have made, the underlined especially. If you persist in repeating such falsehoods I will report them. Thank you. RE: Defund the police - Nately120 - 07-24-2020 I just saw a Trump attack on the defund the police ad and it's pretty similar to the ads he ran 4 years ago. White woman who notices a masked intruder is screwed because the Democrat candidate took her gun/police. It's a clumsy statement and easy to sensationalize, but let's not act the right hasn't pushed this same narrative since JFK was running. Same old mantra....if you let democrats get elected or we let Italians/Irish/Hispanics/blacks/Muslims come here white women will be in danger.

Yes, not an effective manner in which to portray the extreme danger that left leaning politicians will be putting people in by jumping on board the defund the police bandwagon. One of my officers and I like to have in depth discussions on these types of issues. As she is a black woman and I am a white man we both find the different perspectives on events interesting and enlightening. On this subject we are both in lock step, the communities who will pay the steepest price for this ill conceived notion are the very communities that the "movement" states they are trying to protect. Crime won't increase in Garcetti's gated community, it sure as hell will at Imperial Courts or Jordan Downs.

That has nothing to do with your character. Just your level of knowledge. You are not denying that you claimed you did not know of a single case where the Proud Boys attacked someone that was not in self defense, are you? How about "Eye witness testimony is not evidence"? Or "shots were fired from a different vehicle, not the jeep"? Nothing personal about it. Just discussing the validity of claims you have made. And I would not even have to bring them up if you would just answer a simple question instead of claiming you have the credibility to claim you are a teacher and we are your pupils. As I have already said, this is the most bizarre debate I have ever had on a message board. I have never encountered anyone who claims he is correct and then demand that I find the evidence to support his position.

As an attorney you are aware of the need to state things specifically. The way you stated this implied that I had lied about this subject. I did not and I pointed that out. Quote:You are not denying that you claimed you did not know of a single case where the Proud Boys attacked someone that was not in self defense, are you? How about "Eye witness testimony is not evidence"? Or "shots were fired from a different vehicle, not the jeep"? I didn't say eye witness testimony was not evidence, I simply didn't see your post on that. The original claim was that shots were fired from a silver SUV, Bel mentioned this as well, so I was not incorrect about that Quote:Nothing personal about it. Just discussing the validity of claims you have made. I didn't say that, again you're being deliberately deceptive. Quote: As I have already said, this is the most bizarre debate I have ever had on a message board. I have never encountered anyone who claims he is correct and then demand that I find the evidence to support his position. It is bizarre that you can't go read the charge the protesters were arrested for and then state what it was. On this we agree. As for this silly back and forth, it has nothing to do with the topic of the thread. Consequently I will not be participating in this particular discussion any further. If you wish to return to the thread topic I'd be happy to continue. I'm sure this is very boring for anyone else reading it.

The fact that you can't either is even MORE bizarre since you claim it supports YOUR position. this is like the Twilight Zone of message board debates.

Deflects direct questions, accuses others of deliberate deception, and demands that others provide evidence for his claims if they question them. Never seen that before A pattern. Perhaps even a method.

"Reform the police" is better. It's also, unfortunately, accurate. Look at the slashed police budgets in Seattle and Los Angeles. Look at Measure J, which just passed in LA County. https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/kcrw-features/measure-j So glad I moved out of Los Angeles, the whole city is going to shit.

It was only once it was clear how much normal people loathe the idea, and would cost those promoting it votes, that it was shelved. The slogan that is, the goal and effort remains the same.
