That's why it set off my bullshit detector in a big way. Rest stop in CT? On the way back from the Million Mom March? No police ever involved? I'm just not buying it. It’s too good to be true.

Rummel Sun, 27 Jan 2008 01:34:54 +0000 http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2008/01/26/conversion-3/#comment-194194 Bear with me for just a moment, please. I have run a charity self defense course for violent crime victims for the past 17 years. Occasionally I get some yahoo who falsely told the cops some story about how they got kicked around, and they seek me out because taking my course would help convince the judge that it really happened. I have become rather adept at seeing through this sort of thing. Let me tell you guys, this letter is ringing every bell in the tower! Don't agree? Okay, try this. How come we don't know how old her kids were? She says that she dropped off two of her kids and had "my little one" with her when the crime occurred. Wouldn't we know a bit more about how desperate she was to keep from going with the erstwhile kidnappers if we knew how old that was? Besides, how many of you parents out there would pass up a chance to say what age your kids are? I tried to send an Email off to "Brian Clifford" in order to request more details, but his account doesn't exist. Someone said that this doesn't pass the smell test. I say we bury it before I gag on the stench! James Bear with me for just a moment, please.

Maybe its false, who knows, without more verification there is no way to know. I'm sure that many crimes are prevented every day by armed citizens that NEVER get brought to light.

I'd very much like for it to be true, but without any names, there's no way to verify it, and it could just be a misguided gun-rights supporter trying to make up a sympathetic story.
