Even if that were the case, it's still a far more honorable life than being a dirty real estate investor and preying on the poor.

Indeed. The lie is how he makes sense out of someone, from Jamestown, who cares about the friends living in the neighborhoods he trashes with his broad brush "crime reports".

Indeed they do. Can you back up your claims?

Crickets? Actions do speak louder than words. Of course massnative71 can't back up his claims because he knows they are pure fiction. Which he fabricated out of whole cloth in a lame attempt to tar another forum member as having a financial self-interest in the struggling neighborhoods he trashes. In his small mind, it is the absolute only reason, as a person otherwise of some privilege, I could possibly care about such places with any tenacity.

This rings true to me. As a Rhode Islander and Providence resident, it is clear to me that you have legitimate, on the ground knowledge of at least some of the Providence neighborhoods, having you yourself lived in them. On the other hand, he only seems to know what he reads about in the crime blotter, which is a rather one dimensional take. And to me, while his rote recitation of second hand knowledge reads as some sort of promotion of group schadenfreude, his pretension to expert knowledge of this city, when all evidence proves otherwise, is pitiable.

Hhhmmm.


I dunno I-Man.


Let's do a meticulous fine tooth comb perusal.


Or at least kick the tires, as it were.

Yes.

While we do not know for a fact that this is one hundred percent true, it would seem that way based on the lack of evidence.

And, in a sorta ipso-facto bonanza, if A rang true, then this B would appear so as well.

OK, this is definitely a fact check true. I can testify as a witness if necessary.

Yes. Perhaps it is something found wanting in the accuser, that is projected onto the accused.




Well then.


I'd say this post is squeaky clean.


Carry on.
