You said you posted nothing that stated insurrectionists killed the officer, yet you implied he might have been killed by bear spray. Well, someone has to spray the bear spray, and if it was not the insurrectionists, then who? Please explain who you think did when you wrote that.
So, yes, just like a politician, you made a statement that gave you plausible deniability in the future by being able to make the true statement "there is nothing in those snippets, or in the complete text of those posts, in which digitaldog or I said that “Officer Sicknick was killed by the Capitol “insurrectionists”” or anything like it."
Yet, we all know who "here is just one of the articles about bear spray possibly being responsible for Officer Sicknick's death" implies killed Sicknick by the use of bear spray.
So, like I said, if you implied someone else besides the insurrectionists possibly sprayed that bear spray, please let us know and why you think that.
I did not say I had not posted a story about the possibility Officer Sicknick was killed by the Capitol insurrectionists. I said no one here had claimed that Officer Sicknick was killed by Capitol insurrectionists. I hope you can see the difference.
The LuLa bear spray affair started when I posted a article
without comment that two men had been arrested for
assaulting Officer Sicknick. I did so trying to change the subject because Alan was going off the deep end again about voter fraud. Alan immediately accused me "having a double standard" because I hadn't posted any articles about BLM protesters getting arrested for pepper spraying policemen. It went downhill from there. I posted the story about the FBI having a theory that Officer Sicknick had had a stroke following having inhaled bear spray in response to Alan's remark that he hadn't read anything about bear spray being associated with Officer Sicknick's death. I did not post the link for the truth of the matter therein asserted. Why would I? First, the article was in the Washington Examiner, and second, the article itself stated that the FBI denied that it had such a theory. I bowed out for the the day after assuring Alan that I thought BLM protesters should be prosecuted if they injured policemen with pepper spray.
If you have the stomach for it, go back to page 452, and read beginning with my post #9023. I think you will conclude that no one here claimed, or even implied, that Officer Sicknick was killed by Capitol insurrectionists. Certainly there was
speculation in the media, but while the medical examiner had performed an autopsy, he had not released his inclusions, so at the time no one knew why he died.
