Which isn't really a confirmation at all. Panicking people generally don't get an adequate picture of events.

I understand what he's saying, fog of war and all that. I just can't be bothered anymore.

I'm going back to not posting and purely moderating. Laters all.

Careful, that smiley is bound to backfire. Read up on eyewitness statements and their reliability. Especially in moments of panic.

Suffice to say, there's no reliable news source saying anything about the driver firing shots or even holding a real weapon.

No, dude. I like having you around. Please post more.

The issue of eye witness reliability has been studied.

Eyewitness testimony is fickle and, all too often, shockingly inaccurate

In 1917 thousands of people gathered in Fatima allegedly witnessed miraculous solar activity, caused by Virgin Mary, or some such nonsense. Eyewitness testimony is the weakest kind of evidence there is.

Welp. Now you've gone from 'confusing-rhetoric-annoying-man' to 'utter assbag.'
