[Edit: uhm, tongue in cheek, obviously. But Rob Ford is pretty clearly messed up with some dodgy people doing dodgy things.]

You're already convicting him for murder based on contradicted conjecture?

  That the "CP24" (<-- not real journalists) released information attempting to nullify the claims isn't quite "contradicted conjecture". And really, humour anyone?

    At the risk of my karma, they don't do humour here. No sense of humour what so ever from what I can work out. Lost more karma due to humour than anything else here. Fair enough and all that, not ever where has to go with humour, but be warned. Of course I guess I'll now be told that is my fault, my humour doesn't work, how dare I suggest a lack of humour, and get down slapped, but there you go. Of course, I will then have to say that proved my point, as some sort of reply, that will also get down voted. And so on... So, there is is in one post, figured it would be more efficient!!!! Now, can the humourless work out any of that is supposed to be funny?

      HN digs insightful, intelligent, or insightful humor. We're not so hot on flippancy, hyperbole, and unnecessary sarcasm. You really shouldn't be indignant to be told "your humor doesn't work"-- if you get told that, it's because it's true. Playing to your audience is the foundation of effective comedy.

Do you realize you can actually face legal consequences for so flippantly making such a claim?

  Really? He's going to send the entire Internet to court on libel charges? Last week his defender's came out saying that the video was fake or didn't exist. This week, the Globe and Mail produced an article that was the result of two year's of investigation that shows just how deep the Ford family is in the drug business. Whether these allegations are true or not, at this point would it be beyond the realm of possibility?

    You aren't the entire Internet. And yes, random people saying random things (through the bravery of seeming anonymity) have led to a number of well known libel cases.

I think you and I have different definitions of "good chance". There's almost no chance of that. Its more likely that the current crack-dealing owner of the video killed the previous crack-dealing owner of the video. I don't think Rob Ford had any hand in his death. I think Rob Ford is the classic lovable buffoon stereotype, always getting himself into trouble, and not some highly-connected mob boss like you portray him. He just happens to be addicted to KFC, football and crack. Allegedly.
