The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In your style of critical thinking must we assume they were the apartments tenants who forgot their key?

No. It would prove they were likely criminals illegally entering an apartment. Don't know if they were Venezuelan from that. It would be some evidence of a gang - possibly not enough for a jury to convict, but definitely a piece of evidence they are a gang.

the woman was showing the six or seven locks she had from top to bottom of her door.

Demonstration she was scared, for sure. Of what? Why is she afraid? Making someone afraid isn't necessarily a crime.

The local news reporter asked them why they were moving. They responded it is just too dangerous to stay there, besides the current incident, they said two days ago there was a shootout and their car had bullet holes in it.

Again, demonstration of fear. Apparently well-founded. Of what? Back to the same issues as the lady above.

Below is a link to a Fox article that makes up a more comprehensive fairy tale

If it's a fairy tale, its not evidence. If it is NOT a fairy tale, I have 3/4 of a billion reasons not to trust Fox without some corroboration. Doesn't mean they're lying, but they lack credibility. It will take some time to earn that back.
