"We attempted to interview several of the folks and the vast majority of them didn't even know there was an occupation, others didn't know if it was pro-chief or anti-chief, others just wanted free sandwiches (there were multiple independent requests for free sandwiches). "
Yeah, but you wrote that "Hundreds of drunk university students walking past the building were oblivious to the sit in..." when in actuality (and from your own rebuttal), you only actually talked to a few of these students who may or may not have known about the alleged protest.
Slight, but very important difference. Your original posts paints a picture of a roving band of drunkards, hell-bent on letting ignorance rule, with nothing to stop them from getting a free sandwich.
Your second post defending your words paints a much different picture. One of a typical college town (whether you'd like to believe it or not) where drunken rowdiness has been known to happen after midnight...but you let "several attempted interviews" cloud your opinion of every one of the passer-bys.
"Hyperbole much" stands. |
