This isnt about journalism, lawyers, lawsuits or anything else. This is what I saw with my own eyes! Its not like I am just going off on what someone who heard it from someone who heard it from the source told me - I was there! I saw it happening!

Twinkley. . . .first off, the Canadian comment was sarcasm, please notice the
following "but you know how those Canadians are" What you saw occured in Canada, so that is how they got into it. But as I said, it was sarcasm. I figured the
would make that obvious.
When I say it is about journalism, lawsuits, and other factors I am not talking about what you saw. I am talking about the article. Did you see the events in La Mesa? Did you see the guy in the article break his leg? I don't think so. Whatever you saw in Canada happened in Canada.
Do you have any idea the number of webmasters that have come to me inquiring about who they should report BangBus to? They are convinced that these chicks are being forced into sex in order to get back into town.
I am not about to convict someone based on a report made by someone that stands to make some very large dollars if a jury believes him. You really think there is no potential civil action pending?
I am going to go out on a limb here. If I was representing the defendants I would plea them down to a misdemeanor where they would be allowed to plead no contest. That way the conviction stands, and they probably end up with probation. The no contest plea does not allow the conviction to be used against them in any pending civil action, which I would dare say puts them at a much higher risk.
