Only an idiot would say eyewitness testimony was useless. I'm only trying to point out how it's not infallible. But you can have your '1 nil' if you like, I don't really mind. You know, it's OK to learn stuff from other countries too sometimes. But something tells me my lesson plan isn't going...

Very true! Also true: Nearly three-quarters of wrongful convictions (in the US, at least) are based on eyewitness evidence How an unreliable eyewitness can make you a murderer Again - don't get precious. Who knows, you might turn out to be right!

Glad to know you're delving through my post history again - as I said, almost all of my posts about the Telegraph are replies to you. I've told you before, you have the power to stop me droning on, but you keep coming back like a puppy. The fact you spend your spare time pestering reporters...

We're both only mentioning certain parts of the story! Tons of people on here are falling over themselves over a knife found in a bin; then there's just me pointing out that nothing has been proven yet. It's called balance. I've never denied that the eyewitnesses may well be proved correct, and...

It's a fact that proves absolutely nothing about who was carrying it. So far, all the police have said about those two guys is that neither one was armed (I know this because I read it in the Telegraph)

I'm not saying it was a deliberate setup, or a co-ordinated racist attack. I'm saying it might have been one or two idiots causing trouble, and it turning into something a lot nastier because of false rumours. And people's racial profiling (i.e. "those two guys look like they might be carrying...

Truly, I am dazzled by this new irrefutable evidence. I assume you've told the police? You might have blown this thing wide open. Yup, that's what I said. You've never been in a crowd where an incorrect rumour spread and people flipped out?

I'm trying to work out whether you spend more time hunting for my posts, or feverishly refreshing the West Midlands Police homepage in the hope that today's the day your narrative gets confirmed. Anyway, glad you're acknowledging that there's currently zero hard evidence for either of those two...

It seems a lot of the people who were perfectly happy to believe hearsay and circumstantial evidence when it came to the knife story are suddenly very upset that the same evidence is being used to tell a different one. But apparently when I told people to wait for the facts before jumping to...

Man United aren't statistically safe yet and we won the last time we played there, so we could do with the points

Decent (if very American) video about why stadiums are particularly bad for spreading coronavirus. Doesn't matter whether it's 1m, 2m or whatever, if coronavirus is still active in the UK and the government is still concerned about it spreading, there won't be fans in stadiums. It'll be crap...

I get what he was saying. But all the inflammatory social media posts in the world won't make a difference if people don't give them the ammo in the first place. Nowhere have I said this was a racist attack from Cov fans against those two guys (although it still could turn out to be the case)...

I think it's a stretch to blame BLM protests for Cov fans filming themselves being racist (confirmed), mobs of Cov fans chasing people down an alley throwing bottles (confirmed), or armed vigilantes showing up in Broadgate to supposedly try and take out a guy they saw on Facebook Live...

Sure it wasn't a cat?

Agreed! (It's actually happened a couple of times in the US....there's video)

Which element of the police statement is the article missing?

In the interests of drawing a line under this, I've posted all of 40 times in three years, and most of those are about CCFC. The times I get sidetracked into CET arguments are because you reply religiously to every single one of my posts looking for a debate! Seems funny that you would...

You suggested I work for the CET as recently as last month fwiw (I went back and checked, because clearly you have!) I've no idea why you're so fascinated with me, considering I don't post much, and I've never wanted my own reply guy. Instead you're choosing to insult me and bang on about race...

Agree with you entirely! Truth be told there isn't much difference on this thread between me and the people calling me a prick and floating conspiracy theories about me being a CET plant (maybe I should complain to the mods). I just think it's wise to be skeptical and wait for the evidence...

You're saying the quiet part loud - the fact that you're just as comfortable coming to your two conclusions about the people involved shows that it's not hard evidence you're interested in. Can't say I'm surprised, but I didn't think you'd just come out and admit it! Anyway, I'm sure you'll be...
