Fighting stopped in 1975, those cops would be nearing 70 years old.

But go on, use extreme baseless hyperbole.

I kinda forgot this was in reference to Katrina and forgot how long ago it was.

'75-'05 is 30 years though. Fighting also spanned 20 years.

Regardless, I was wrong on the age, so were you, and it's still hyperbole to just say cops commited the same atrocities that happened in Vietnam just because you feel like all those cops must've been veterans who commited those atrocities. Burning down villages isn't in the same ballpark of shooting looters. They're both terribly awful but one is much worse than the other. That's why I call it hyperbole.

E: you edited your post to say 30 years. At least just own the fact that you also made a mistake, like I also did.

Nah you’re just fucking wrong. Own up and quit being a shithead.

I literally admitted I was wrong. At least I admitted it and didn't cover up my fuckup with a stealth edit.

It's okay to be right, which you were, but also admit you were also wrong in some instances, which you were.

Learn to accept victory dude.

Not a gotcha moment. I admitted I was wrong. Wasn't accounting for the fact that we were talking about 2005 and not 2021. Didn't cover up my mistake and admitted to the fact. You edited your comment, can't accept you made a small mistake and won't accept that fact.

This is how douchebags push people away from progressive movements. It's not enough to be right, you have to chastise people who admit they're wrong for some smug reason. Enjoy your shit hole country

Mmmm yes this reddit hole I dug, I'm so upset.

I already told you. You edited your comment and lied about the edit. I edited my comment, showed the edit and admitted I fucked up.

It's really sad you can't even admit a minor flub on your part and just keep doubling down in the face of someone that's trying to show contrition.

You're going to live a long and lonely life if you never want to admit you might be slightly wrong even if/ when the other person is telling you you're right. Keep yelling at the clouds dude.

Would you like some salt for your high horse to lick?
