In reply to the discussion: Ben Carson Fabricated Violent Juvenile Past, CNN Investigation Suggests [View all]erpowers
(9,446 posts)When you think about it these stories are clearly fabricated. There seems to be no way that a kid could attempt to hit is mother with a hammer, attempt to stab a kid, throw rocks and bricks at people, beat people with baseball bats, hit people with locks, and smash people's heads against lockers and not go to jail. Kids have been sent to juvenile detention for far less. Even if someone were to make the argument that Carson was sent to juvenile detention and his record was sealed upon his turning 18 the counter to that is people would remember his bad behavior and his having gone to jail. It seems the principals at his schools would remember him having attacked people. It seems the people he attacked would be willing to come forward and say he attacked them. Even if they have forgiven him they could still confirm the attacks. There is a problem with a story when there are supposedly multiple attacks on different people, but no one comes forward to confirm the attacks.
