I gave you the links, I even gave you a quote.
If you are too lazy to read, that is your problem.
You thought to be snotty with your post and got slapped down instead. You don't like it? I don't care.

Now I see the hysteria has started again with you and the others, so let me give it one more try before moving on.

“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” John Adams.

I do not say the shooting was justified, or not justified. I do say that facts matter. We don't have them. Many here don't seem to need them. The closest I have seen is the reporting in the Sun which followed the inquest on a blog with quotes from testimony. I gave you those links.

Now whether it is this case, or another topic, you can be, and probably are, led around by the nose to whatever conclusion someone wants you to have because you don't think for yourself.

I asked the poster of the thread why the inquest was bad. I have yet to hear of why the process was flawed or fixed. What I do get is vacuous opinions by people weaving their vision of what happened out of thin air.

All I have were the original reporting and the blog. I don't say with confidence whether the inquest was proper. I asked why it wasn't. Still waiting.

Now, put down the Kool Aid and think for yourself. Read the blog of the inquest. If you have a link to a primary source I would read it. You should post it. Until then, I assume you have nothing to contribute?

“What I do get is vacuous opinions by people weaving their vision of what happened out of thin air.”

Nope. You got facts, handed to you. You ignore them.

Instead, you cite a witness who says Scott lifted his shirt with his left hand to clear his right rear hip, pulled a gun, and threatened the cops so the cops had to shoot him. With the gun in the holster, and TWO seconds from spoken word to first shot.

We have facts. The holstered gun on the ground. The audio. And a man dead 6 seconds after he passed Mosher, with Mosher not recognizing him as “The Threat”.

And you defend the inquest as fair and accurate.

My friend sorry but I saw nothing corroborating your absolute statement in those links.
Pardon, perhaps I have a lazy eye or a lazy brain.
Can you show me the others, the concealed carriers who stated what you claimed that they stated?
