"I may be an anarchist, but I'm not a chump.
I do as I'm done by. I didn't rat Hogshire
out until he ratted *me* out. If I think
something just has to be done, I do what i
takes-- whatever it takes-- to do it."
Bob Black, "MY DATE WITH JIM HOGSHIRE (Version 2.1)"
[ref]
But... even if you buy Black's
story word for word, Hogshire
*didn't* rat him out...
Allegedly, Hogshire:
(1) threw him out of the house Hogshire denies the
(2) pointed a gun at him, and threat with the gun...
(3) queered an interview deal.
And Black's account has
So Black sic'ed the narcs certain plausibility
on Hogshire, for the sake problems that make it
of revenge. sound to my ear like
fiction --
A point that Black admits.
"I turned the tables on the
Muslim maniac. You know how the
towel-heads are always taking
Westerners hostage? I took one
of them hostage. Having a gun
trained on you concentrates the
mind wonderfully. When Jim
pointed his rifle at me, I
grabbed Heidi as a human
shield. Whereupon (you surely
suppose) he put his gun
down. Not so! He trained his
rifle on his own wife!"
Does that maneuver sound
*possible* to you? Do you
think you could pull it
off while someone held a
gun on you at close range?
And afterwards, why
wouldn't Hogshire
take a few steps
forward and train the
rifle on Black's
head, instead of on
the "human shield"?
