Sandra Bland video

(Underline added to draw attention to the fact that you hadn’t searched.)

(post shortened)

People on the internet have been accusing the sheriff and jail staff of murdering Bland. That’s a fact.

You can search this thread, which includes the linked articles, or you can ask someone else to do your homework. Maybe someone will accomodate you.

I never made the claim that it’s “usual” for posters here to claim that the arresting officer murdered Bland. That’s your claim/interretation.

I did say, “It’s not difficult to search this thread”. It’s your choice if you chose to not to.

Your “hypothetical” posts are your hypothetical posts. Please feel free to make you own statements as often as you wish.

OK you got your little prick. What’s the point?

Nice try, but it was Terr who was the one to suggest we “stick to the law” for the entire discussion.

drad dog never promised.

HAHAHAHA. That’s a hoot. This thread is easier to follow if you read the posts in order.

It seems to me that post #1808 comes before post #1809.

Per myself:

OK lets stick to the law here: The state was responsible for her care when in their custody. The family wasn’t.

I was being specific, and trying to bring us in the direction of consistency.

I remind you also though that “A foolish consistency (petty and small) is the hobgoblin of little minds”

Before you laugh yourself to death, try reading for comprehension.

Once again, I’ll try to use small words:

Drad dog suggested it for his one point. Terr said only if we stick to the law for the entire discussion. No one ever agreed to that. So it’s a bogus derailment.

Next, we’ll learn our ABCs…

CMYK: You realize that as soon as there is no obfuscatory haze left in the air some of our dear friends will abandon the thread. You heard the prediction here first.

What you appear to be having difficulty in understanding is that it’s the person who makes the claim who has the obligation to “search” for support for that claim.

Challengers of that claim have no obligation whatsoever to search. The obligation rests squarely on the claimant (you, in this case).

Again, the homework is yours to do. We await your search results.

I assume that by “interretation” you probably meant “interpretation.” In any case, the bit in blue is easily refuted by your own post (#1778):

It’s difficult to construe your “do you simply object to someone discussing” as anything other than a reference to this thread. You were addressing cmyk, who had posted:

You replied to cmyk as quoted above. If you were asking “do you simply object to someone discussing” in reference to discussions somewhere other than this thread, why didn’t you name that venue? And what was that other venue?

Thaaat’s what that haze is. I just thought someone farted.

Shouldn’t the people who claimed that Bland was murdered have the obligation to support that claim, in the first place?

Indeed, and they deserve a jolly good Pitting. Luckily, we have a special place for that, and this isn’t it.

Congratulations on becoming a mod!

Suggesting that something needs a good Pitting, and that perhaps the Pit is the place for said Pitting, is Junior Modding now? That’s…creative thinking.

Telling other people where to post isn’t?

:shrug: I don’t think he did that.

But as I understand the board rules, this might be a discussion for ATMB.

It indeed might be creative thinking. Off to Cafe Society…

Done.

Well that settles it… BLAND WAS MURDERED!!!

It could have been worse: She might have been suggested to post somewhere else.

I agree that the state is responsible for Sandra Bland’s care when in state custody. I’m also in favor of an official investigation into the matter. I reject the lynch-mob mentality of those who immediately condemned the police for murdering Sandra Bland. And I bow to your experience creating hobgoblins.
