What exactly did you want to discuss so robustly about this tragic event
in another state? A child was struck by a car and a crowd attacked one
of the people in that car. Are you suggesting we assume celebrating
Juneteenth made them violent? As a point for debate, it seems little
more than ad hominem.

An open and robust discussion is never furthered by censorship ( I
didn't
get that off a bumper sticker, I made it up myself, although someone
else
probably said something like that in the past).
If newspaper accounts are so inherently unreliable, why do historians
use
and rely on them to buttress their research and theses in scholarly
articles?
The Duke lacrosse incident took place in North Carolina, so you have
violated your own rule on Virginia topics, however you should not be
censored for
doing so.
Happy Juneteenth to you all.
