Wow. I hope that conspiracy theory does not prove to be true.

In a pod cast someone is giving their take on something it will have an impact on how you think about that is human nature, watching just the debates without another voice to interpret for you. You might not agree with his message but I bet you find a couple issues you do agree with.

So you were looking for confirmation of your own bias.

Limping because that rifle was stuffed into one pant leg.
Then there’s video of him jumping off the roof with a duffle bag with the rifle stuffed inside it.
Then there’s video of him limping down that same residential street away from the venue.
Limping because that rifle was, again, stuffed into one pant leg.
The video continues and shows he disappears, still limping, behind a house in the woods.
After a moment he can then be seen running quite normally.
No longer limping because he stashed the rifle in the woods.
This leads me to believe that rifle was not broken down.
I’d offer that that Mauser could not be broken down or he would have done so.
I'm pretty sure the video footage of him jumping down from the roof shows the gun fully assembled and wrapped in a blanket with the rucksack on his back. Didn't look disassembled to me..... but what do I know

Stop claiming I can't critique and/or think for myself. I am more than capable of critiquing debate styles and methodologies.
I happen to have agreed with some of his messages, not with others. I also saw a man who was brave enough to ask the hard questions that the coward conservatives dare not ask for fear of losing their jobs, not their convictions.

No, I was looking to see those who know debating styles and protocols and tactics if anyone else saw what I saw. They did.

Then the question begs why turn yourself into the authorities if you are not going to cooperate?
The fella doesn't even have a criminal record.
Wait until he's done a few nights in a cell, or he reaches jail, and I imagine that might change.
He may well try and top himself once he realises what the rest of his natural life will entail.
And the fact is, he deserves all he has coming, considering what he appears to have done.

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to imply you couldn't critique.

Okay, moving on. I've seen those debate tactics (manipulation, leading opposition to frustration, deflection, and shutting it down quickly) with other more seasoned debaters and it's easy to notice.
