Rodney,
I guess I'll have to remind you of what you said. You have a surprisingly short memory.
Your first assertion:
"Most of those peace protesters in San Francisco looked to be homeless (dirty torn clothes, etc.), yet almost everyone of them had a video recorder! "
Your second assertion:
"Many speculated that they were trying to incite the police so that they could take legal action against the city and the video equipment was to "record" the police action for proof."
Your third assertion:
"There was even evidence that these protesters were brought into the city by bus."
Then you built on your false assertions with the following nonsense:
"If I was homeless, I don't know where I'd even be able to "plug in" my video equipment. Plus, I'd be more worried about my next meal than I would be about protesting anything! That'd be another good news story. Was this protest all a set up just to try and sue the city? Why did almost all those "poor" looking people have video equipment? "
And so I accused you of making stuff up. I suggested that you had no idea what you were talking about - I was questioning your credibility. You came back with a link to a news story that supported not a single one of your assertions - congratulations.
I called you on that fact, and you came back with a link to a story that says the protestors arrived by bus from 145 cities. Did that somehow get translated in your mind to the organizers bussing homeless people to the rally - maybe all a massive planned project whose real aim was to sue the city?
So you see what I mean when I say you might be loosing your grip on reality?
Joe
