Reply #7: Yep, it took all this time to find a story, then a lawyer who'd sell it. [View All]

There were cameras going on outside the house and inside. Where are those photos of the truculent mob getting pounded? The officers knew the whole country was on them, and they had to pull it off safely in order to prevent an even more preposterous situation by some delusional people.

Our government's agents really work fast, considering they were in and out of the house with Elián and driving away in around 5 minutes. How DID they find the time to brutalize all these Cuban-Americans, as well as trash the Gonzalez house, while shouting off filthy words and threats at Marisleysis (so she claimed, and why would you doubt her) and tearing off the door to the bedroom and throwing it on the floor?



This image shows one of them sporting a sign calling Clinton a "murderer." Now where did that come from?


Poor, poor things.

Here's the L.A. Times story. You can see they didn't attach much significance to the bogus claims:

January 22, 2005
IN BRIEF / FLORIDA
Trial Date Set for Suit on Elian Gonzalez Raid


U.S. District Judge Michael K. Moore set a Monday trial date to hear claims of a dozen people who said they were wrongly assaulted by federal officers during the raid that removed Elian Gonzalez from his family's home.

The plaintiffs say they were innocent bystanders who were gassed and beaten outside the home during the raid on April 22, 2000.

Gonzalez was one of three survivors of a shipwreck that killed his mother and others fleeing Cuba.

He was returned to his father in Cuba.

I don't know ANYONE personally stupid enough to have put any stock in what these people were pushing.

Why have they only decided to get the ball rolling on their claims of brutality for something which happened back on April 22, 2000?

Swear words. Disgust.
