re: #24 albusteve

don’t do it Crowley…you are being used

As I wrote in a thread below, I haven’t even scrutinized Crowley’s version of the case, since I took one look at Gates’ OWN SPIN of the incident written a few days after the fact and published on a website THAT GATES RUNS, and it was immediately evident that Gates was the quick-to-prejudge asshole here, not Crowley. (Although I believe that Gates’ problem is just as much about class snobbery as it is about “playing the race card.”)

And since that WAS written a few days later, by which time Gates ought to have been adult enough to reflect on his own mistakes, I share albusteve’s pessimism that Gates will try to extort concessions and apologies from Crowley without yielding any ground from his own side.

Approach this “invitation” with extreme caution, officer.
