If I remember correctly he was a black Panther bigot who drove a taxi because he couldn’t keep a job.

He was not a black panther by the time of the shooting. He was very much a MOVE sympathizer. He held reporting jobs and apparently had a small audience. But after the MOVE siege on Powelton street he just stopped showing up to work.
IIRC, he had been driving a cab for over a year to make ends meet by the time of that fateful night.

Saying you don’t like their explanation does not mean they are lying.

You have a basic problem here. You just cannot conceptualize this point.
You have certain beliefs. You look for people who share the same beliefs you do. And when you find them, you latch on to them as a cast iron cite. Anything they say is, to you, cast iron truth. Yo cannot grasp the notion that some of them may be lying.
Please try to understand. Some of the people you support may tell lies to win public support for your cause. And some of the people you support tell lies in order to persuade you to give them money.
I would advise you do do some research. Have a look what the term Critical Thinking actually means. Google it and read, read, read. It probably doesn’t mean what you think it does. And when you find out what it means, apply it.

Oh, I grasp the notion alright. Problem is, I don’t just take ‘PEter Morris says they are lying’ as evidence that they actually lied.
Now had Peter Morris actually pointed out genuine lies in the article he referenced he would have something. But he did not. He just didn’t like the way they discussed the events. But ‘not liking them’ does not equal ‘lying’
You have a basic problem here: You accuse a site of being full of lies, but yet cannot provide evidence one single lie. Just articles you don’t like.

The evidence has been given.
This is another problem you have. You make a totally irrational statement. Then you repeat it over and over.
And it obvious that you are incapabler of grasping the notion thaty some of your idols lie.

No it has not, Peter. You complained about one of the articles. That is not evidence of lying. You cold not prove one error they made. You just didn’t like it.
Let’s look at what you said, in fact:
[QUOTE=Peter Morris]
Look at the feebleness of the excuses they make. They explain how the police witness came to change their original statements, how we should accept their later statements, rather than their earlier ones, and how it differs from the doctors statements. It is way beyond obvious to me that the writer of that piece doesn’t believe a word of it, he’s just trying to snare the credulous.
[/QUOTE]
There really no proof of lies here whatsoever. You just didn’t like it.
Nothing irrational about asking for real evidence of lies when you claim they are lying.
It would only seem to be ‘obvious’ to you. I don’t give that much credence, thank you.

If you say that a million times it still won’t be true. The article is utter tripe. It’s just that you are incapable of seeing evidence that contradicts your world view.
Go on. Stick your fingers in your ears and scream *lalalalaIcanthearyou *all you like.
No amount of evidence would convince you because you are incapable of admitting error, or of changing your mind.
Rather than one more Appeal from a Moderator for Civility, I think it’s time to close this thread.
Y’all can start a new thread in the Pit if everyone wants to keep on slinging personal attacks at each other.
