I really don't care about your 'because'. I am as skeptical as you are about the incident, and have said so.

Actually, you are not. You are willing to entertain what he says at face value. I am not.

However, if it happened as he said it did, then it's appalling.

See? There you go again.

The fact is, he's fine. I only care about the perpetrators. If he'd had some actual damage -- broken bones, trauma, abrasions, a boo boo -- I'd actually give him some thought. But the perpetrator(s) are all that matters. My ire is saved for them (him). No matter who they (he) are (is). Whether they are Mr. (Dr.) Smith or somebody else.

My bad. I thought you were keeping an open mind. But you're not skeptical. You've discounted what he said, because of his views.

Reports say he has bruises, contusions, and a broken tooth.
