A Colorado university student was arrested for an obvious dry, morbid joke about the massacre.

It was "obvious" to you, although you weren't there, but it was lost on the people who were actually present when he said what he said.

I'll trust the eyewitnesses' sense of his tone and intent over yours at this point in time.

"I'll trust the eyewitnesses' sense of his tone and intent over yours at this point in time."

Don't beat around the bush. Let's make that more clear. You would trust the words of certain students and an instructor at the People's Republic of Boulder over mine. That makes your spoken perspective a little more clear for us.

I've worked for public schools. Thanks in part to the new sensitivity game, they're (as are universities) the nearest thing we have to nut-houses now.
