For the "let's wait for the facts" crowd. We already have several facts. [View all] MohRokTah Aug 2014 OP

Fact one is not undisputed... winter is coming Aug 2014 #1

That does not dispute fact 1. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #2

Then you might want to rewrite the first fact to omit the reference to the cigarillos Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #36

Fact one is specifically about the first contact and nothing more. eom MohRokTah Aug 2014 #39

Then exlude this: Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #42

It is NOT disputed. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #45

What you said is not actually a quote, Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #61

It sure looks like a quote to me... whopis01 Aug 2014 #98

Thanks for the clarification - Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #99

Why do you give the word of one cop, with a history of abusive behavior, equal weight nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #82

Thank you for acting as a "voice of reason"! notgoinback Aug 2014 #93

precisely because that's the OPPOSITE of what he knows 0rganism Aug 2014 #105
