Mr. Tracinski insists that /he/ has the story, but nobody else does.
Perhaps it's because -- as an unabashed ideologue -- he /had/ the
story and went looking for a scenario that would support it (I have
seen /nothing/ that supports the notion that they freed the jail
inmates. Quite the contrary: it seems the Sheriffs swam--with
handcuffs in their mouths--to the yards to cuff the prisoners and
walk/swim them to higher ground. I saw extensive video of huddled,
cuffed masses being guarded with shotguns).


He's already retracted that bit of fiction.

He's already had to backtrack on some of his mis-statements of fact.
It's well written, and most people will never read the corrections, so
he's accomplished his mission of misinformation.


JFTR I posted that piece "without comment" because it directly related to a
"sub-discussion" in the thread (which had nothing to do with prisoners, by
the way). Someone had just sent it to me and I hadn't read it carefully or
researched it at all; thus the "no comment" comment.

Having all but been called a racist by one person, I think it's a sad day in
this country when systemic societal shortcomings can't be mentioned for fear
of being non-PC.

Sorry, I work in the sciences so when I see stats, my hair stands up
quickly. Stats are there to be questioned, IMO.
That's true, minorities are represented more and more. I agree with you
that we're heading in the right direction.


Hey. Gomer. Stop posting this drivel to the alt.autos.subaru newsgroup. It
has nothing to do with your annoying back-and-forth rants. Cut it out.
