Lets see who is really being dishonest here. Your exact words were...

"The worst one was when a gang
of about fifty demonstrators tried
to prevent an ex Marine from going
to class because the demonstration
was "shutting down" the school.. It
was only heated discussion, until
some jackass decided that since the
Jar-Head wouldn't do what they
told him they would restrain him. He
was gentle, no fatalities, fifteen taken
for medical attention. NEVER JUMP
a mud Marine! The crowd scattered
when he started breaking bones."

You clearly said "they," not one, tried to restrain the marine ("they
would restrain him"). You said nothing about most demonstrators running
when the violence erupted. Instead, you said the "crowd scattered when
he started breaking bones." You said nothing about the number of broken
bones. And, finally, you said fifteen demonstrators needed medical
attention ("He was gentle, no fatalities, fifteen taken for medical
attention"). The story you're telling now is a lot different from the
story you told before.

It does indeed verify the accuracy of Dwight's quote.


The story has not changed, I only added details to show his assumptions were
BOGUS.
Actually I DID detail the number of broken bones! The number taken to the
Schools clinic included four of us who tried to break it up! I only got a
skinned knee. I didn't feel that was a needed detail, or for that matter
than any significant detail was needed. I was unaware that Dwight was
intending to defend the actions about which he has no first hand knowledge!
You are also being very selective and not at all objective.
None of these comments has any impact upon the incident which occurred so
long ago!
So inclusion of "they" was a misleading indicator which cause him to jump to
several unfounded assumptions. Again, his perception, not my commentary.
There is no point in the "Cross Examination" unless he maintains the
Demonstrators were not at fault. Please Name those you are defending! I
was there and couldn't get the names!
Perhaps more detail would have been needed, but there seemed no point, it is
OT!
However let me point out that he makes the comment

(snip) After a visit to your poorly written web
site, I see your travels possibly corrupted your
perspective and you have a twisted view of
reality!

Those travels were arranged, and paid for, by the Department of Defense.

On his web page he states,
I was born in North Carolina in 1953. However, other than two years on the
coast of the Mediterranean Sea near Istanbul Turkey, I spent much of my
childhood in Sacramento California. I enlisted in the Army in 1970 and
served a little over two years in Germany (MOS 31M - Radio Relay Operator).
I returned to Europe in 1977 and found work as a sales representative with a
consumer electronics marketing firm based in Basel, Switzerland. I later
managed a German-owned computer store in Heidelberg.

During those ten years in Germany, I took a course in journalism and public
affairs, and an electrician course with several additional sub-courses in
communications fundamentals, logical troubleshooting, and electrical
physics.

In 1998, I went to Europe once again to live in Vicenza Italy for a year.
When I returned to the United States, I lived in Washington State for
several months and then moved to my present home in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina.

Were all these Junkets paid for by Tax dollars? Shame!!!!

So much for your insistent irrelevant nitpicking!

Good Bye!
