who the hell knows what LG was referring to, but you mentioned "first sentences" and the first sentence in the CNN article you linked to seemed a bit awkward at first.
I could be wrong but I think he was talking about the fact you said maybe the charges will be dropped and the link title underneath says the charge had been dropped.When I mentioned 'first sentence,' I was just making fun of myself...I completely missed LGs point that the charges had been dropped when I posted that link in response to his comments.
Eh....these weren't attacks. As for the one that might be considered an attack, I was having some fun with it until I realized what I was engaging in was the intellectual equivalent of Norwegian fishermen clubbing baby seals.

I see.I don't think so. I half-way read LGs post to say that this guy was going to have a hard time winning this case, which isn't what he said at all, of course. So, I posted that link saying...well, he could have a hard time...OR....they could just drop the charges (posting a link showing they had dropped the charges). I totally missed the fact that LG had already said the charges were being dropped and that what his post was really about was trying to win a case where he sues the police for the arrest.
Big problem with that over there?
I thought it was weird until I realized there were two similar tenacious D monikers on this board.

You got it -- that's what I was teasing you about.
And my other point then was , yes, the charges are dropped. And I would have expected them to be. I mean, obviously he did not rob his own house. Any sort of verbal resistance type of charge, under the circumstances, would have been overkill and just fueled the criticism.
But now that the guy has claimed racism and had some of these yahoos like Sharpton and others make statements, and now that it has come out that the guy was difficult and claiming race right off the bat -- without knowing the whole story -- I just would not be surprised if he feels cornered and that he will have to go further to try to justify hsi leaping to the conclusion he did at the scene.
I will commend his attorney, however, who is being somewhat restrained in his commentary and focusing on getting the charges dropped. He did his job without making it a circus, at least on his own end. Good lawyers don't hype, they are a steady drumb beat.
