123. Yeah, here's one: This guy is in a gang, into drugs, and has a sister who was involved with one of
the servicemembers who were shot.

That's rumor, Rumorboy.

You were in the command post in your head, I'm thinking. You can't evaluate your way out of a paper bag, but you do have an active and rather fertile imagination, and come to conclusions that are completely unrelated to any of the available facts. Then you get huffy when folks point that out.

You don't read at all, never mind for comprehension--you just make up stories--like you did about this Bledsoe/Muhamad fellow.
