Sure was:
It was clear that someone was being kept there.
Just to clear some things up:
You are either being devil's advocate with your questions or you believe what the news say?
A third option would be that you don't give a fuck either way, as you alluded in the end, which means.. why the fuck did you spend all that time arguing for something you don't even care enough to form an opinion of, or as you say, don't have any information to form an opinion of, and I dare say, what would be enough information/evidence?
The older I get, the less I understand. I wasn't there. I didn't see it happen on video. There might be other pizza joints in town. I'm not smart enough to know what really happened and so I file it away in that compartment in my brain where I keep things that I don't truly understand. Some may not be comfortable with that, but it works for me.
