At Thu Nov 28, 2013, 09:16 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

I just don't get why people can't accept that a punk-ass loser killed JFK
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024104051

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

"Punk ass" is prison rape slang and inappropriate for DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Nov 28, 2013, 09:28 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: The alerter is wrong. I'm voting to hide because the alerted poster says other DUers are psychos.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh FFS.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm torn on this. I sympathize with the alerter but I dont think that is how people take the use of the word. Perhaps alerter can ask the OP to change phrasing? I think part of what I dont like about this alert is that there does not seem to be an effort by the alerter to inform/ask the OP.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was juror #2.

Ideology. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #1

I think the Lincoln assassination is the only US one with a conspiracy. alphafemale Nov 2013 #11

Not really right-wingers. Archae Nov 2013 #62

Assassins are not confined to ideology. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #64

I know. Archae Nov 2013 #77

Of course. That notion that there is such a thing as a military command called Southcom is a lie eridani Nov 2013 #125

And, of course, it has NOTHING to do with our government CONSISTENTLY lying to us, right? Th1onein Nov 2013 #162

Yes good example. The Midway Rebel Nov 2013 #171

Did I SAY that our government lies to us about EVERYTHING? Good example of twisting my words. Th1onein Nov 2013 #172

For one thing, no one saw Oswald shoot Kennedy Art_from_Ark Nov 2013 #2

Yeah. alphafemale Nov 2013 #12

You use one of the UK's most notorious sensationalist tabloids as a source? Art_from_Ark Nov 2013 #15

I thought the letter was touching. alphafemale Nov 2013 #24

Actually Oswald was witnessed firing the weapon out the window by several people cpwm17 Nov 2013 #70

Nobody identified Oswald. former9thward Nov 2013 #91

You have bad info cpwm17 Nov 2013 #97

And that person did not i.d. Oswald after he was arrested. former9thward Nov 2013 #98

Witnesses did give a correct description of Oswald before the police located Oswald cpwm17 Nov 2013 #101

No one identified him. former9thward Nov 2013 #111

Multiple witnesses who saw Oswald fleeing the scene identified him. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #123

Shell casings? meanit Nov 2013 #167

Reloaded while running from the scene, according to witnesses. Spider Jerusalem Nov 2013 #168

he pulled the gun to try to shoot the officer that killed him in the theater. nt alphafemale Nov 2013 #180

If Hinkley had a past that included BlueStreak Nov 2013 #155

True, maybe. But we're not discussing a counter-factual "Hinkley". delrem Nov 2013 #157

Quite the contrary. It is a huge anomaly. I agree with you. BlueStreak Nov 2013 #158

Ouch. Case Closed. Take that gerald. solarhydrocan Nov 2013 #8

the first story out there is the one you have to dispute... lame54 Nov 2013 #18

So this means the Loch Ness monster is real? alphafemale Nov 2013 #21

I'm not sure how US government officials might benefit from the Loch Ness monster... Fumesucker Nov 2013 #132

Tell your opinions on the Boston bombing again...nt SidDithers Nov 2013 #44

Again? Fumesucker Nov 2013 #131

Double check the thread tree... SidDithers Nov 2013 #134

and that also means we never went to the moon? nt alphafemale Nov 2013 #20

No, it means that government officials do not always tell the truth Fumesucker Nov 2013 #133

What's frustrating is belief that "do not always tell the truth" means "always lies with competence" Bucky Nov 2013 #138

Nevertheless we went to war in Iraq, the neocons got what they wanted Fumesucker Nov 2013 #146

I was talking about the truth eventually getting out, not people being willing dupes Bucky Nov 2013 #148

It was inevitable the truth was eventually going to get out about Iraq because there were no WMDs. Fumesucker Nov 2013 #164

Yep, no conspiracy there. RC Nov 2013 #83

That's some funny shit right there Spider... catnhatnh Nov 2013 #56

This!: More broadly, it's a tendency to focus on intention and agency, rather than randomness... Benton D Struckcheon Nov 2013 #81

Most people have been intentionally harmed at some point in their lives, it's not that uncommon Fumesucker Nov 2013 #165

I think that most people do accept that. Democracyinkind Nov 2013 #5

John Hinckley's parents knew the Bush family socially. alphafemale Nov 2013 #22

That's one example.... Democracyinkind Nov 2013 #26

And Edwin Booth saved the life of Robert Todd Lincoln alphafemale Nov 2013 #28

Ha, Another very good one. Democracyinkind Nov 2013 #29

"In 1979, Congress investigated the assassination..." nyquil_man Nov 2013 #33

yes, so did the three LATER congressional investigations, including the one in 1996 librechik Nov 2013 #35

Are you referring to the Assassination Records Review Board, nyquil_man Nov 2013 #38

what part of look it up is unclear? librechik Nov 2013 #39

There are facts, yes. Your assertion is not among them. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #42

I recommend Lamar Waldron's new book, "The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination" n/t librechik Nov 2013 #73

Or you could just name those three post-HSCA investigations. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #78

You seem to have enough outrage for both of us. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #92

Check my post. former9thward Nov 2013 #40

Your 'skepticism' dies a quick (and apparently painless) death nyquil_man Nov 2013 #43

The government is not a monolithic entity. Democracyinkind Nov 2013 #45

I didn't invent the dichotomy. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #51

I am arguing a general point. Democracyinkind Nov 2013 #53

I'd like to think we're all selective as to what we believe or don't believe. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #61

Well you could say that if someone gave opinions on 100 government studies. former9thward Nov 2013 #46

You damn the government for sloppy work on the Warren Report nyquil_man Nov 2013 #48

You have given your summary and interpretation in two sentences. former9thward Nov 2013 #50

It would prove no more and add no more nyquil_man Nov 2013 #52

"incurious dupes of the government" former9thward Nov 2013 #57

That's fine. nyquil_man Nov 2013 #76

I have too. former9thward Nov 2013 #88

You are amused, and your heart is broken. Mc Mike Nov 2013 #31

OK... yeah my heart does break for ranting idiots. alphafemale Nov 2013 #107

Zing! Mc Mike Nov 2013 #177

I'd say you're spot on. Puglover Nov 2013 #58

Because he had ties to the CIA.. sendero Nov 2013 #9

I just think the "spooks" would have been much less sloppy about it alphafemale Nov 2013 #19

They were. sendero Nov 2013 #32

OK alphafemale Nov 2013 #34

Not necessarily. It depends on their goals and how much institutional support they had BlueStreak Nov 2013 #170

Ironically, DU was founded on the wide belief that GWB stole the 2000 election... pacalo Nov 2013 #10
