    It's not OK in either instance. I never said otherwise.

    It's possible for opposing sides of whatever "narrative" you think exists to both be full of shit.

    Poindexter credited YF's arguments, as well.

    Yes. The three of you have all given me credit, and I appreciate it.

    But, for every Poindexter, you have a waterytart condescending to me, and not conceding an inch.

    How did Chicago not burn down today with its finest citizens attending to SportsJournalists.com duties?

    Never understood why this case did not draw more national attention:

    It has been a year since police in a small town in Westchester County, New York, shot and killed Danroy Henry Jr. But for Henry's family, each day seems every bit the same as the one before it.

    "The reality of what we are dealing with is that we are stuck in many ways on October 17, 2010," Danroy Henry Sr. said. "We're stuck there. We haven't moved on from that date. We've been stuck in this battle to get clarity and an admission as to why DJ isn't here with us anymore. Until we have that, in many ways time has stood still for us."

    Danroy "DJ" Henry was a 20-year-old Pace University football player from the Boston suburb of Easton, Mass., who was shot and killed outside of a bar in Thornwood, N.Y. The shooting has been mired in controversy and drew national attention amid allegations of racial bias and lawyers' assertions that the police department's close ties to the District Attorney's office had compromised the investigation of the shooting.

    Because they like to stick to their narrative: You're just the espresso boy.

    YF, I say this as nicely as possible, playing the unappreciated victim comes about as naturally to you as an oral bowel movement.

    I've been respectful this entire time, and we reached an impasse. I've detailed exactly why we disagree, and what could be done to find common ground.

    You're very skilled at arguing. That doesn't make you, Dick, Xan or Baron any more correct. You're wrong both in how the media operates in reporting crime stories, and whose responsibility it is to objectively report facts and whose responsibility is to fling poo.

    I do think YF has raised some good points about the media. Not all, but some.

    And I still think Martin is dead because Zimmerman was hell-bent on playing cowboy.

    There also isn't as much of a historical background of oppression for transgenders as there is for blacks.

    If I wanted to learn how to build a bookcase, I would ask a carpenter. I would not question him on every stroke of the lathe once I got his attention.
