FauxPseudo

I hope France has a better track record than America for that.

I said that every case in the past has been a panic. And until we find evidence this isn’t the Bayesian policies apply. Investigate and then figure out if something actually happened.

145 people that think something happened isn’t evidence. Every case in the past had lots of people absolutely convinced it happened.

So let’s take this to the next step. There is video surveillance because every venue does these days. They pull the video. They watch the video. They follow the movements of every person. They see who bumped into who. If the video shows one or more people ranging too far to too many people and getting close when there is plenty of space and shows them dumping the evidence then we have actual proof that backs up the claims. Toxicology tests were performed. We find that there is something in the blood that shouldn’t be there.

You and each of the others here that are absolutely convinced that this time is the one time in history that this actually happened get vindicated.

But what if the video doesn’t show it? What if the toxicology is completely normal? Are you going to regret being so absolutely sure? Are you going to come back here and say “okay, I was wrong.”

I’m asking that you wait until the evidence is evaluated to make a decision. Reports aren’t proof. Evidence is proof. And given the history of this type of claim a little proof before judgment is absolutely warranted.

This also happened in France in 2022. People were detained, preliminary charges filed. And then the cases vanished. Not great reports of convictions. No “there is nothing to worry about, the criminals have he brought to justice.”

In this current case they have arrested maybe a dozen. If they are guilty then throw the book at them. But the guilty should come only after the evidence has been evaluated. And a report is not evidence. That’s suspicion.

I’m saying that in the past every incidence or this has been alleged turned out to be mass panic. And at today’s age of constant video surveillance there would be evidence, not just reports. So either this is the very first case in the world where this is actually true and we will find that out through the evidence or we’re going to find out that it’s not true and then it matches all the previous events. But police reports do not make something real.

I’m asking people to look at the evidence.

Did you read the link I included in my previous comment?

Anyone can file a police report. And if they believe they were a victim then they are more likely to do that.

During the 80s example I gave it was men that were reporting it.

This is a panic that has come and gone multiple times even just during my lifetime. I remember the first time I heard about it was visitors to neighboring Tijuana with HIV infected blood on the 80s. Never once has it actually been confirmed to have happened.

These are 145 self reports. Nothing confirmed. No video evidence.

Plenty of resources available for this panic.
