--------
I do agree with you that Ron showed quite a bit of self control since he is prone to violent actions against those who incite him. Geraldo asked if he used drugs and he asked him if he ever hit his children. What's is wrong with that question? I don't see anything wrong with that question. Ron, IMO has a problem with ANYONE asking him those two questions. I can see why those two questions bother him so much. Ron had, before this event, been handled with kid gloves and most probably thought that he was above being asked those two questions. IMO, in his past, no one dared to ask him anything that he might not want to be asked. That is why he was caught by surprise and was embarrassed and was offended by someone asking him the questions. The questions needed to be asked, he didn't have to like them, he just needed to answer them. I hope LE learned somthing from Geraldo too. Like, how to interrogate Ron and Misty and Teresa and GMSykes.
First Bolded by me. Although I don't know Ron personally, I have never seen anything except spin and rumor in the last six months that supports that statement.
He didn't pop GR.
He didn't pop CR or CS when they put his son's face on national TV as he was questioned about probably the most painful subject of his life.
He's never shot anyone.
No arrest/conviction for assault/batter.
CS could only come up with
one example of violence towards her by Ron and as I stated in a previous post, the account is suspicious at best IMO.
He didn't take MC out to the woodshed and beat the bejesus out of her.
He didn't go after WBG when that "business" was going on.
He didn't go after Cobra for betraying him or KP for all that carp.
On the 911 call he said he needed to call (paraphrasing) people who could help him and he called his Gramma and his mom.. not a gang of thugs.
Sorry I just don't see evidence of violent
"actions". Yes he swears like there's no tomorrow and seems to revert to swears when he's frustrated. So do a lot of people. So do I. He said he would shoot the suspect in the police car, me too.
Second bolded by me. Only Ron can answer definitely how he was feeling at that moment.
Third bolded by me. What exactly did GR gain by this interview or his brother's interview of a hurting and innocent boy?
His drug past is public record. He didn't deny the record under oath in a court of law during the custody hearing. The only place it really counts. He was cleared by DCF in a highly publicized nationally watched case.
And I listened again
RIVERA: What about the allegations of cocaine use, methamphetamine use?
CUMMINGS: There’s nothing. I do not do drugs.
RIVERA: You don’t do drugs? All those arrests were all —
CUMMINGS: No.
"use" and
do indicates present tense.
To clarify, the second time GR again asks "You don't
do drugs", THAT was his question. The implication about "used" because of the past record was actually only left hanging and never actually asked.
Do I wish RC had the foresight to go into a full blown answer. Yes. Do I think he was trying to be deceptive absolutely not.
