49. What else do you expect the shooter to say, "sorry folks, we fucked up"? Gimme a break

You made several presumptions about what you think should have happened and presented them as fact. That is misleading to people who may not have read the article. The "ship full of people" was a complete fabrication on your part and only your part. Even the spokesman did not say that.

This is a principal of journalism as well as investigation: No primary source is less credible than a real primary source. Read enough stories over the years and you will see that this is how things tend to turn out. No one from the ship has come forward to say anything and no video has been provided. What will you say if, in a couple of months, some sailors speak out and it conflicts with the official story as has been so common in the past? The Navy is still conducting an investigation so obviously even they don't think the matter is closed, despite the initial response. What will you say if the official story changes, which is also quite common?

Believe what YOU will, this post not for you but for people who might be mislead by your nonsense.
