Well, no, not if they're using the rim around the bed of a truck, especially a smaller truck. A good portion of the upper body would be exposed. At any rate, the cop sure was a loser. He was supposed to be watching Watson. Watson went back into the house for a few minutes. Did it not occur to Barney that Watson might have a gun inside the house and fire from inside? After Watson made the threat, Barney could have arrested him right then and there, just for the threat alone, then there'd be no worries. Duh.
The funny part is that ol' Barney Fife probably would have arrested him for the threats.
I've provided more than one of them quite a while back in the thread. Another poster pinged you with that post. But to be nice to you, I'll provide them again for you:
http://www.hannibal.net/stories/090800/com_0908000007.html http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/09/07/officer.shot.03.ap/index.html http://www.amarillo.com/stories/090800/usn_mankills.shtml http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/09/08/officer.shot.ap/index.html http://www.morningsun.net/stories/091000/kan_0910000006.shtml
As you can see, the portion I quoted is verbatim from the very same original news sources that Vin had to use in his OPINION piece. He clearly was being deceptive.
The city had an easement for the existing sewer line. They were trenching a new sewer line not covered by the existing easement. If you'd ever read an easement, they are described by footage, location and directions in relation to the property lines and landmarks. They are quite specific. The constitution does allow for eminent domain, but this was not an eminent domain case. It's about easements and ingress/egress. Now, if you can show me where the constitution says the government can take whatever portion of somebody's land it wants with less than 24 hours notice and no due process, I'll stand down my argument.
The problem is, you are relying upon Vin's lies about the incident. The original news sources spell out quite clearly that the city needed access to the sewer lagoon behind Watson's residence. There is nothing in them about digging a new sewer line.
The easement that was there, had been there long before Watson bought the property. And Watson had been feuding with the city over access to the lagoon for 10 years.
I get it. You can't win the argument so you're going ad hominem on the messenger. Brilliant. Well, actually not brilliant. Ad hominem is the last bastion of the cowardly.
Let's see the news articles.
Make that, "Let's see ALL the news articles."
Vin is also a believer in "natural" medicines rather than our developed medicines. Of course this leads to the legalization of cocaine, in his reasoning. It appears from his writings, no amount of exaggeration and misleading statements is unjustified in his quest for legalized drugs.
Earlier, I went to some trouble to recover those posts you wanted. Now you refuse to return the favor when I ask for your links. And you expect me to cater to your request without reciprocation? Forget it.
--I get it. You can't win the argument so you're going ad hominem on the messenger. Brilliant. Well, actually not brilliant. Ad hominem is the last bastion of the cowardly.--
Merely pointing out that Vin has been show to not be direct in the truth with this article and that it is nothing new to him.
Have you now retreated to lying like Vin does?
You are obviously playing games now. They have been provided here more than once.

Apparently you are also ignoring this one.

--Have you now retreated to lying like Vin does?--
No longer a question. I have it well documented.
He may be right, I don't know. Nine million over 500 years doesn't seem impossible to me. Hitler managed four million in a couple years.
Please, if you don't mind, introduce me to your personal research that proves differently. I'm a Catholic Christian, but I recognize that Christianity had a bloody history for many centuries, starting with Jesus's blood.
What this has to do with Garry Watson is completely irrelevant, however. Maybe you should start a new thread to bash Vin for his religious beliefs, or lack thereof, although I don't know how you or anybody else can fully know what's in a man's heart as it relates to faith.
No, I haven't been given links to any posts refuting that. I've read every post replied to mine, and have seen no such information refuting what I said. I was given one link, and it went to a dialogue reply box.
No, I didn't. Click it. It goes to a dialogue reply box.
I gave you the updated link.
Click my name, go back through my posts on this thread, and look at the ones that are not to you or UpAllNight, starting maybe in the 300's or 400's. If I could remember the name of the poster, I'd look it up for you, but I can't, so it's just as easy for you to find it as it is for me.
--Nine million over 500 years doesn't seem impossible to me. Hitler managed four million in a couple years.--
Should we not condemn everything Catholic, also?
--If I could remember the name of the poster, I'd look it up for you, but I can't, so it's just as easy for you to find it as it is for me.--
I should have written that to you instead of taking my time to go back and find the post you requested me to find for you. Thanks, anyway.
That's a post from you to me asking for a link to something I mentioned earlier.
Keep trying. Maybe you'll find the golden link to all these stories or information you claim to have seen that prove Vin wrong about the easement.
