It's not clear to me why you left this comment. jere said he wondered if a particular thing would happen, and then it did. You assert that second part as if in contradiction?
- tptacek 14y agoNo, 'jere asked why the guy didn't just come forward and say "it wasn't me" (Orwellian!) and then the respondent said "that's what he did".
- shardling 14y agoThat's not how I read his comment -- I think you're reading accusation into the phrase "why wouldn't you" that isn't really there. I realise that without context it could be ambiguous, but since even the headline indicates that the guy has already come forward, I doubt jere was unaware of that.
- clicks 14y ago'jere was probably protesting why Salah didn't come out to say it wasn't him /immediately/, 'gee_totes responded by explaining he in fact did go to the police pretty much right away (i.e., yesterday, as soon as he became aware of the NYPost, etc.)
- waterlesscloud 14y agoPerhaps jere should come forward and explain the innocence of his comment. Oh, the irony here.
- recoiledsnake 14y agojere's was a rhetorical question. It took me a second to get it but I got it on first reading. One clue was the lack of a question mark. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_question
