If the original police claims are true, that this person ran out the door with a gun towards them, then I consider this brandishing a weapon. You refused to accept the fact that the very article you used in this thread, mentioned three times that the victim had a weapon in his hands. I gave you all three quotes from your article and you are still harassing and misquoting me as well as my intent. Stop or I will have a moderator stop you.
No, the article did not mention that the victim had a gun in his hand. The article specifically stated:
“Thomas was found with a gun next to his body, but police haven’t said where that gun came from or whether Thomas even had it in his hand when he was shot. “
You have deliberately falsified that information and are continuing to attempt to spread misinformation.
I suppose Obama’s men need people like you to encourage the development of his pet projects: “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded [as the military].”
Are you ready to admit that you have lied about what the article actually states about the victim?
Nowhere in the article did the police make that claim. That is a bald-faced lie.
You have been repeatedly reminded that the gun was located *next to* the body of the victim, and the police specifically did *not* claim the victim held the gun.
“Thomas was found with a gun next to his body, but police haven’t said where that gun came from or whether Thomas even had it in his hand when he was shot. “
By claiming otherwise, you are deliberately spreading misinformation on Free Republic. You are being intellectually and morally dishonest in making those claims and have not had the decency to say “I read the article incorrectly” or “I misunderstood; English is not my first language”.
Since you have not admitted to either, I believe it reasonable to assume the third alternative is accurate: you are aware of the truth, but wish to spread misinformation on Free Republic, because you don’t wish the truth to get out.
Bad form, Sir, and disgraceful for a conservative.
