And if you can corroborate it... well, then, I'm more inclined to believe it.<BR/><BR/>And that would indeed be quite serious.Gal. Emp.

I was in Elliot's cell block (A) and witnessed some of the beating. the part with about 8 guards on him, and listening to him scream bloody murder for help and to the janitor clean up the blood afterwards... i don't know if i would consider him cruicified, but what astounded me was how systematic the guards did it, and how normal it seemed to them. perhaps they're used to this sort of thing and usually get away with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030388666382918203.post-88118041198735010472008-09-25T10:31:00.000-04:002008-09-25T10:31:00.000-04:00Yo.

But I saw this on the news last night, and I want to warn you guys before you lionize Elliot too much.<BR/><BR/>I went to grade school with Elliot. He was the most derided person in my class for a number of consecutive years, not because of the usual reasons like he was smart or nerdy or short or ugly, but because he was a nearly pathological liar who was permanently of the opinion that the world was conspiring against him in some broad conspiracy, which for some reason always revolved around him. Even if you were nice to him (I always tried to be), he was a total jerk and would repay your kindness by making you a central part of his victim fantasy, combining wildly reduced doses of truth with complete invention.<BR/><BR/>Also, he had the worst homework record in Mrs. Gavin's fourth grade class.<BR/><BR/>So, basically, unless Elliot has had a come-to-Jesus moment since I last saw him eight or nine years ago, this is almost certainly B.S. from top to bottom. I agree there are a lot of important questions to be asked about what the police did and did not do during the Republican convention, and I hope we have a discussion about those in coming days. But this guy is the absolutely worst icon you could settle on, because almost nothing he says is remotely likely to be true. You should find someone else.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I'm just some anonymous commentor, so I could be some dude from the police state trying to silence Elliot's dissent. So don't take my word for it. Do the bloggy thing and do some research on him. He graduated from Nativity of Our Lord K-8 in... oh, must have been 2003, and went to Cretin-Derham High after that. I don't know whether he ever successfully had friends, but he certainly had a lot of people with a lot of opinions about him at those two schools.Gal. Emp.

The details are even more chilling. I will add it to this post. I've been looking for a transcript.
