Ignoring the humor of this article for a moment...

Another fine example that drugs don’t destroy lives; cops destroy lives.

Thorough examination, Doctor. Thanks.

No, you’re a fool.

The correct journalistic practice is to ‘use single quotes’ when you’re paraphrasing a first source. In spite of a desire that you communicate more clearly, I’ve changed my mind: I now recommend you do kill yourself post haste. And if you give me credit, I’ll feel quite proud at the feather in my cap. (Take note: that…

I take it you haven’t watched the Bill Hicks piece yet.

I think you’ve missed my allusion. Check out Bill Hicks’ skit concerning marketing. You’re taking this far too personally and seriously than is merited. I’m not actually telling you to kill yourself. You realize that, right?

Why is the CIA getting involved in the PR of a mission carried out by JSOC? Perhaps this is their counter-intel theater attempt to make Seymour Hirsch’s account slip into the memory hole.

I believe it’s safe to say that Bill Hicks would, without hesitation, direct you promptly now to kill yourself, were he still alive.

Nice to know your ideals are so flexible.

You’re totally starring your own comments, you fraud.

Thank you all omniscient judge. We were at such a loss without your divine intervention. Praise ye to the highest. Where can we send checks?

So then, changing context to US foreign policy, are you saying that every American is then fundamentally an accessory to the crimes of the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, because we could not bring ourselves to stop them in advance nor in their execution, the whole decade of them? We all sure as hell video taped…

Have you ever heard of nervous laughter as a response to discomfort, peer pressure, and horror? Or is that too abstract an idea to grasp?

Oh, tell it to all the Germans who stood by while the Nazi’s brought a reign of violence. Your grasp of human nature, and in particular, the imperative to maintain status and safety under the duress of peer approval during a demonstration of mob violence, is flimsy at best.

Who died and made you god? So apparently being a witness and attempting to preserve evidence is a crime now.

Right. So we should totally trust the prosecutor. Paragons of honesty and good will, those people.

Having witnessed crimes before and having been the victim of sexual assault, I wish there had been evidence beyond my own traumatized “word.” Yes.
