You’ve just presented an anecdote with no factual evidence and no video footage. It’s one sided hearsay.

It's in the public record.

The reporter's findings can be annotated with reddit links but I don't think the mob needs to be fed. My summary suffices.

You could have just asked for a URL.

One could have been provided, or even a name to google.

Just "SF stabber mayor" would have been enough; it's fine to admit you were just extremely lazy and quick to jump to dismiss GP's claim, and apologize. It was major ish news.

Major ish news /where you live/. Not globally.

None of that really explains away your leap to incorrect conclusions and failure to apologize.

except this guy is right.
