Thanks for standing up for the underdog. It is a noble pursuit, imho. I don't always agree, however, with whom you identify as the real underdog in each scenario.
Both you and the post you responded to used nearly identical phrases to demonstrate opposite points of view. Imo, the phrase "almost guarantee" is really just a "maybe" or "perhaps", and the the words "would have been totally" should be replaced by "might possibly have been somewhat" different. Any time the word "if" is used the argument, pro or con, pretty much falls apart.
We have all been doing way to much Monday morning and armchair quarterbacking. This incident, like many others of late, are being viewed from many angles, but the points of view we never get to see, the view of the actual participants, we will never really know.
ALL of these horrible occurrences would have avoided "IF" ... there's that word again.
