I can't speak for Tony but I feel my intelligence has been insulted numerous times in the past few days. The media has been incredibly selective in what has been portrayed in an attempt to skew things a particular way and it's ridiculous what people are expected to believe without question. The notion that all the protesters are running around causing damage (10,000+ people were protesting peacefully for a week before that), the arrest was his own fault for possessing a knife (he was legally carrying and it has now been deemed an illegal detainment), he broke his own back by struggling (WTF?), his spine was already injured by surgery and there's proof (both the rumor and the "proof" were bogus), etc. The list of far-fetched sensational tales we are supposed to accept in lieu of actual investigation and fair trial is ridiculous. Too bad there are so many who did accept it cluttering up my social media feeds but I notice they are all pretty quiet now.
