In reply to the discussion: Do we actually know who killed those cops [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(102,140 posts)100. Igel expresses the reality of 'asking a question' in #90
By doing it, you are suggesting that it could be reality. That the witnesses who saw it are all in on the conspiracy, and that some 'marksman' somewhere did it instead. That the witnesses who saw the guy run into the subway and shoot himself are also all liars in the pay of the unknown people for whom you think that this is 'neat'.
There is such a thing as a dumb question, and the OP is an example.
