Cuchulainn 3,040 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 http://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2016/08/25/malpractice-the-journalistic-assassination-of-ryan-lochte-n2209533 "But what if he was telling the truth? What if the police lied? They found no damage to the bathroom – the mirror and soap dispensers were still intact or had been replaced not by new equipment but filthy, old equipment complete with crusty old soap. The door was old and undamaged, not kicked in. Through actual journalism, the USA Today team saw all the surveillance videos, and even though the bathroom door was in frame, there is no footage of the swimmers entering, exiting or kicking it. Unable to gain entry to the bathroom, they’d relieved themselves behind the building, then went back to their cab. That’s when it gets interesting. A security guard, who the paper discovered was either a prison guard or off-duty cop moonlighting (no one will say which), stopped the car by flashing his badge. He did pull his gun and point it at the swimmers. This is the only place Lochte’s story deviates from what the actual evidence says. Lochte reported the gun was put to his forehead. It wasn’t. It was pointed at him, according to the USA Today, at a distance of about 5 feet. That’s it. So there’s zero evidence these men, who were drunk, did any damage except allegedly to a poster on the side of the building. For that alleged “crime,” which no one witnessed, they were “charged” a wad of cash by the guard while held at gunpoint. If that isn’t a robbery, what is? If this isn’t a smear campaign by a lazy media more interested in a scandal than the truth, what is?" This is an interesting read. Ryan Lochte may not have been lying after all. Stories like this make it so hard for me to trust mainstream media. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperIz 7,354 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Oh wow. That's crazy. I know I was watching some sports show with my brother and the one guy was like, he's a liar and I knew he was a liar when he first heard his story and I was like? That's the first thing you think when someone is robbed? Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lego 44,165 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just copy paste most important parts, the link doesn't work for me. Didn't he and his friends admit they were lying? Wasn't there a tape? What is the point? What is that article, an opinion of a fan or what? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
