 JB>> are far left leaning liberals 

 MT> I think you're a liar who can't support your hyperbole. 

 MT> Hull: This attempted robbery happened in 2005. 

 MT> Snopes:  It happened in 1990.  It's a matter of record. 


 MT> Hull: The would-be robber used a .22 target pistol. 

 MT> Snopes:  His weapon was  a .38-caliber semiautomatic pistol.  
 MT>          It wasn't a .22 target pistol.  Who should we believe? 


 MT> Hull: The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds.  

 MT> Snopes:  He was shot three times in the chest and once in the arm. 


 MT> Hull: The clerk returned fire with a .50 Desert Eagle 

 MT> Snopes:  The clerk fired a 10mm semiautomatic pistol.  
 MT>          Not a .50 Desert Eagle.  


 MT> Hull: Several customers also drew their guns and fired. 

 MT> Snopes:  Renton police Capt. Don Persson said several customers  
 MT>          had guns and pulled them, but they didn't shoot.  The  
 MT>          only ones involved in the exchange of lead were the  
 MT>          would-be robber, the clerk and the police officer. 


 MT> Hull: Paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene. 

 MT> Snopes: He died in the hospital about four hours after the 
 MT> shooting. 


 MT> You, Hull and Hardegree are arguing that SNOPES lacks credibility. 
 MT> John Hull's source is "a local chat echo."  There are at least 

It's not *MY* account, you ignorant bitch.  This is one of the reasons I kicked
your ass out of All-Politics.  You can't seem to get facts straight.


 MT> six lies in his account.  Who lacks credibility?  SNOPES 
 MT> identifies 
 MT> its sources and provides the names of those involved: 

 MT>  Duncan, Don and Christy Scattarella.    
 MT>  "Man Killed in Robbery Attempt." 
 MT>    The Seattle Times.   4 February 1990   (p. A1). 

 MT>  Scattarella, Christy.   "Inquest: Officer Didn't Fire Fatal 
 MT> Shot." 
 MT>    The Seattle Times.   10 May 1990   (p. C4). 

 MT>  Shatzkin, Kate.   "Officer in Store Shootout Identified." 
 MT>    The Seattle Times.   5 February 1990   (p. B1). 



 MT> Not too long ago, Ed Hulett was remarking about how few people

 MT> been repeatedly shown to be wrong in recent weeks and he never admits 
 MT> it? He never backs down.  He just keeps on going, making error after 
 MT> error. 

Another goddamn lie.

 MT> And you guys crowd around him, attempting to defend this 
 MT> ignorance! 

 MT> The lot of you are laughable.  You should be ashamed, Jeff.
