The poor guy dies of a pre-existing condition, perhaps a stroke but it’s not certain as of this moment. With UNBELIEVABLE expediency, someone on the left heard about his misfortune, concocted a sickening story to foment backlash against Trump and the media, like obedient lapdogs, did all the heavy lifting for them.

The Soviets couldn’t even dream of this kind of cooperation and efficiency back in the glory days of Pravda.

When weeks passed by and there was no official report of a cause of death, I assumed the guy died of a medical condition or a self-inflicted cause. Regardless of what caused his death, I was 100% certain that it was not caused by an injury sustained during an attack by some clown storming the Capitol.

Yeah, now that they’ve injected the false story into the minds of the general public with so many repetitions.

In at least two reports last week he was hit with a fire hydrant.

I think that none of the people who died were murdered by the MAGA crowd.
...........................................
Only one person died at the 1/6 Trump rally as the result of violence, and that was the woman who was shot to death, ostensibly by someone in law enforcement.

Convince me I'm wrong?

I can't. I don't know why Ashli's autopsy results and the details of her funeral are not public knowledge. I don't know why the identity of her supposed shooter was not released. And I don't know why some enterprising reporter hasn't answered these questions.

NYT once again misinforming the world and then weeks later quietly correcting the record. Pathetic!

still no excuse for the behavior of those republicans who stormed the Capitol..We were supposed to be above the violence of antifa, republicans were noted for peaceful protests, respect the police.

-- NYT was more than happy to print a false story from "an official close" --

If the paper was honest, it isn't, it would now disclose the naems of those sources. The point of that would be to inform the public who, specifically, is a liar.

These days being a good liar is protected status. My presumption is that if it is in the paper or utterd by an elected official, it is false or misleading. 100%. No exceptions. As a class, these people are incapable of truth.

If the utterance is imporatnt to me I do research on the subject. Sometime what I presumed false turns out to be true.

The Sicknik hoax was exposed as such I think the same day, certainly within a few days. This retraction is more than a month late.

I know what the original fake story was. I also know, as I posted, that some idiots claimed he was hit with a fire hydrant, but thanks for the correction.

New Jersey lost one of its own during the Capitol riots. Staff Sgt Sicknick was beat to death with a fire hydrant by a Trump terrorist while defending Capitol Hill. This is the face of a true patriot. He fought to the very end. #Sicknick #CapitolRiots #TruePatriot

Felix!

Somehow I just knew he was there at the NYT!

Likely he's been there since 1922, ... it would explain a lot.
