Neither side can be sure exactly what went on. That was the point of my post.

I changed my post. Neither side knows is what I'm getting at. Don't expect the media to tell the truth either.

Thanks,I had read that but there are now a few news articles about this mob.

So she asserts he makes stuff up....and that is the proof you have?

By the way,since you dismiss Wilkinson so easily,what of Van Auken...

The 2nd District councilwoman was at a dinner party at Rand's house on Moss Avenue the night of the incident. A noise complaint had been called in twice, and twice a Bradley police officer checked on the house and found no noise, Hall said. Then Van Auken and her friends approached, walked close to the house and were asked to leave.

You apparently missed the part where the police - the same police you were clinging to earlier - were also aware of his history with race-baiting. Again, why do you believe the boy who cried wolf? Try giving a direct answer this time.

Please post the facts about the police knowing about this being a problem and what he actually did. All you are doing is believing hearsay.

Is there a link to a police statement on this?

I just can't see a bunch of black teenagers chanting "Kill all the white people!" Certainly not as a chant. It would be "kill whitey" or "kill the crackas!" Something like that. That's why I'm still skeptical of Wilkinson's account.

No I didn't miss that,because there hasn't been a police statement released that I know of....

Could you post the police statement again for us all to read?

The one that states Wilkinson has fabricated these stories is Van Auken,unless you again have some more information for us...
