If he has got something it would make sense to shut up because those cops will see to it that they find out about his dirty laundry.
I think he has something to hide. He sure didn’t want the cops to know who the other person was...and while you are at it..why not? Why kind of ties does the unknown person have that was reported to be from Morocco.
Interesting. I might even put on a tinfoil hat and consider the possibility that the didn't want the law in his house because they might find suicide bomb type materials. Aside from being leftist, does he also sympathize with radical Muslims?
