How in the world would you think that the article you posted and the quote you used somehow “disproves” the assertion that “115 have no criminal records”?

It say’s right there that they have no convictions. In Texas, I know. How far should someone look? As you are fond on saying “you look it up”. The Associated Press search of records is good enough for me.

Really? Come on now. Now you’re just parsing words. Or records. Or something.......Really?

“Records searched by The Associated Press show more than 115 of the 170 people arrested in the aftermath of a motorcycle gang shootout outside a Central Texas restaurant have not been convicted of a crime in Texas.”

That’s not some vague statement. Hell, it say’s exactly opposite of what you are trying to say.

I guess they(Associated Press) searched Texas records because, I don’t know, maybe because Waco is IN TEXAS! What do you think?

In this argument, only boogieman knows what is meant by "criminal records," and that definition is subject to change depending on the needs of the moment.

The fact that you had your fingerprints on record may qualify as a criminal record, for all we know. Had a speeding ticket? maybe that is criminal record.

Well I didn’t say “disproved”, I said “debunked”, as a false/misleading claim. Which it was, as I explained quite clearly. If you can’t follow the clear logic in that post, I’m afraid there’s nothing more I can say to help you.
