Mods delete Boston Drunkard thread

What happened to the thread with the video claiming Toronto Police shot a protester POINT BLANK?...

The claim was obviously wrong, as shown by another video taken from a different angle. And, the video posted wasn't of Occupy Toronto protests, but the G20 summit in Toronto in June 2010.

Maybe the thread should have been locked, but I don't like when stuff disappears down the memory hole. That smells too much like a poster who didn't do their homework trying to cover up their mistake.

The original thread was posted by the Boston Drunkard where he posted the link to a youtube video with the claim that some law enforcement offices shot a protester at "point blank range."  The primitive Sid then showed a pic and a link to where you could clearly see that's not what happened.

The Boston Drunkard got the mods to kill the thread.

Good job, Sid.  Now if you could only see clearly to point out your own ideological stupidity to yourself their might be hope.

If you notice oddities, the place to ask about them in the Ask The Admins forum.

Second, Mods are human, in this particular case, the thread was deleted accidentally.

Ever unrec a thread you mean to rec?

Suuuuure it was.  Apparently 1% of the DUers (Let's just call them 'Major donors') have some very special privileges.

Can't the mods move threads to the proper forum over on the Island? Why lock that thread, just move it to the ATA forum.

Sure seems that way. It will all be available in a few hours though, nothing disappears on the 'net Pitt.

A quick search turns up a bunch of links with the same video shot in early June.  Was Pittstain trying to pass this off as news?  Apparently, loads of the stupid ass commentators at UTube think it just happened.  Plus, the canister or bullet went to her right.

This is a bit off topic but I have to ask. After years of idiots rioting at every one of these G summits why don't they move them to some place where the  little window smashing punks can't go? Fly them all out to a U.S. aircraft carrier or something and have the meeting there.

Yeah. Right.

That's what I was thinking, too.

The Bostonian Drunkard has a habit of that, trying to bury his mistakes.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
