Paparazzi use camera's

Paparazzi disgust me. But to each his own. If you think no harm can come of them- ask Princess Diana. Smoke em if ya got em.

Once again Toon puts on his interpretive (rose colored) glasses and reaches a wrong conclusion as a result.

Diana's death came at the hands (literally) of a drunk chauffer, not the fact that paps were in pursuit.
Ray

Errrrrrr wrong Ray.
Diana and Dodi were supposed to exit the Ritz by their usual route, however the Paps were out in force, this had also attracted a huge crowd of onlookers, consequently Diana and Dodi were advised to leave by another route at the side of the Hotel. Once they left, the paps soon caught on and chased them in cars on bikes and in minibusses causing the driver to speed up. Though Henri Paul had been drinking I dont think it was ever proved he was actually drunk though there are several conflicting reports.
Place d'alma is a BITCH of a tunnel. The road leading to the actual incline drops suddenly. If you hit it too fast your steering WILL go light. I did it on a motorbike years before and nearly lost it when I hit the dip.

[You Can Call Me Ray]

Errrrrrr wrong Ray.

Nope, sorry, Chorlton. You are the one who is wrong here. Responsibility for the operation of a hazardous machine lies with the operator. Ever wonder why the term "the pilot is the final authority" applies to aviation? Because all responsibility for passenger safety lies with that pilot. It is no different in an automobile.

Though Henri Paul had been drinking I dont think it was ever proved he was actually drunk though there are several conflicting reports.

Irrelevant. He was the vehicle operator. Whether he drove carelessly while intoxicated, or while stone cold sober, the fact is he drove wrecklessly. This is not in dispute.

Place d'alma is a BITCH of a tunnel. The road leading to the actual incline drops suddenly. If you hit it too fast your steering WILL go light. I did it on a motorbike years before and nearly lost it when I hit the dip.

Again, irrelevant. You cannot absolve the operator of a vehicle from an accident unless THEY were the vehicles struck by someone/something else. The operator lost control. Again, there is no disputing this. That makes the operator liable, whether proven drunk or not...and because the Place d'alma is not closed down and undergoing changes to make it safer, that means no one considers the design of the causeway as unusually hazardous.

Note your own words "If you hit it too fast..." That right there lays responsibility on the operator of a vehicle. Especially any operator who has driven that passage before.

Standing ovation for Ryan's post!

I'm neither an investigator nor a 'journalist,' not have I ever pretended to be. This Sauce A idiocy was obviously a farce to start with. It shouldn't take a Walter Winchell to figure that out. My interest in the story has only to do with possible IC involvement and the nature of the OMoid cult that continues to enable this sort of nonsense. I have no particular interest in the stolen valor angle or in seeing these pranksters personally destroyed.

[Zep Tepi]

This obvious farce from the beginning also applies to Roswell, yes? No?

[gunter]

Standing ovation for Ryan's post!


Ray

Choirs don't do ovations they simply murmur 'amen.' Wanna give that another chance?

[gunter]

This obviosu farce from the beginning also applies to Roswell, yes? No?

Emphatic "No."

[Zep Tepi]

So, the idea of an alien spaceship crashing in the desert of New Mexico in 1947 is not a farce, but the idea of there being a secret UN meeting about the "reality" of aliens, is?

You have a crazy sense of logic.

[gunter]

Roswell started as a real event. The Sauce A b.s. was made of whole cloth.

[You Can Call Me Ray]

I'm neither an investigator nor a 'journalist,' not have I ever pretended to be.

Yes, we know, you are a filofawsizer..."jack of all trades (or so you think), and master of none." You would rather just pass judgment on others than do the heavy lifting, yes?

This Sauce A idiocy was obviously a farce to start with. It shouldn't take a Walter Winchell to figure that out.

Of course it was, but it requires proof. It doesn't take a Walter Winchell to know, intuitively, it was a hoax. However, it is clear that it certainly takes more than a Tooned-up Gunter to lay bare the facts and Uncover the underlying Reality. So Ryan has you pegged. And that makes you sad.

My interest in the story has only to do with possible IC involvement

And yet you cannot provide even remote evidence that the IC was involved. Your entire house of cards in that supposition is based only on what you feel is true. And don't bother resurrecting your citation of the Robertson Panel. We get it...you think it's evidence. It's not.

I am a veteran, a twice wounded one. (in the former Republic of Viet Nam) I did two tours in SE Asia and had "my bro's" both killed as well as wounded. I don't want to toot my horn too much over this but I know the price that can be demanded for being willing to wear the uniform of your country.

Is this you, Don?

I looked for Theilmann's name but it is not registered. Registration requires a DD-214 and other items.

The dispute should remain in the universe of words in my opinion. No physical confrontation is required. You beat liars with argument, not fists.

Not liars who try to hide once the stone is overturned. They will try to crawl under new rocks. I disagree with Tom trying to dissuade Andy from going. If I lived closer, I'd be going alongside Andy - it's called investigative journalism and to borrow from a term Steve recently used, sometimes you have to get "boots on the ground" to find those hard answers. And in this case, since they're trying to make sure no one knows what their true motives were, it becomes all that much more important to make them say "no comment" in person, and to interview other people who know them to try to understand their motives behind doing what they did in the Theilmann case.

This isn't a form of violence, it's an important form of investigative journalism and I applaud Andy for having the gumption and the gonads to put his money where his mouth is and hit the streets to get to the truth. This speaks highly of Andy's character and his desire for truth and justice.

Thanks Ryan

Thanks for your service to our country, Don! Its greatly appreciated. By the way, I love your forum signature.

I disagree with Tom trying to dissuade Andy from going.

Actually, saying “I tried to talk to him out of it” was a poor choice of words on my part… I expressed some concern that Andy quickly alleviated.

Point being, it was a genuine concern expressed in private, not a self-serving faux concern like Toon’s…

Roswell started as a real event. The Sauce A b.s. was made of whole cloth.

Wrong, Roswell was a non-event. The Roswell Myth was made of whole cloth 30 years later.
