I don't think he was so much of a liar as playing to the center. He's trying to win friends and influence people. Just last week he published a pro gun story about a Chinese restaurant owner who had took his legal gun out on a delivery, against the rules, and shot a would-be mugger with a knife in a stairwell in Harlem. A struggle ensed, and he shot him in the leg. His accomplice is at large. (The Chinese guy had been mugged about 4X in the last 3 years). Just the fact that he had that column about a prevented robbery printed makes me believe that he is anti-PC. IOW, I think he's legit. The New York Slimes would NEVER print such a report. -FReegards.
I remeber the story about the delivery shooting, the customer said "what a shame" and went back to his beef-n-brocolli!!
Re-read my comment keeping 9/11 in mind and then ask yourself if a NYPD Sgt. would be either that stupid or that lazy?
Would he shove a guy he knows is a reporter or would he allow someone with fake papers to walk away?
I say neither!! Here comes my last post redux!!
It could also be a lie, because a Sgt. would not usually dis-respect a true reporter that way and if the Sgt. suspected fake credentials he would have put the bag on the guy holding them and confiscated the papers, that is why I suspect the writer is a liar!!
