I'm asking you questions you can't answer.
Do you know for a fact that the response time to the apartment was never provided by the police subsequent to Sheriff Brown's admission he didn't know that response time? Simple question. The answer is either yes or no.
I have no idea. Why would I?
But they certainly didn't call WaPo and ask them to correct the story with that information. We know that.
We also know all the information about the 911 call was cut from the WaPo story, including the fact that the apartment manager received the "manifesto" which caused him to call 911.
And none of this is "fog of war" stuff. This article was written a month after the fact.

"tag team debunking efforts". I love it. When you cant counter the argument, try to discredit the person making it.

It does appear that the issue of the apartment crime scene has touched some kind of nerve. It's resulted in some tag-team debunking efforts. And some mysterious drive-by starring for those efforts.
It is a strange part of the case. And, absent the so-called "manifesto", it would look even stranger.
There is not "debunking" going on here. There is calling out of outright lies and misrepresentations of the truth. The claims being made are, at most, baseless conjecture, or, more likely, intentional misrepresentations of the truth.
That you would try to spin this and make it about the people pointing out the fact that the claims being made by posters are not backed by ANYTHING is certainly curious....
I don't know what that's all about.
But I do know the parents found the crime scene bizarre. And it caused them to question Elliot Rodger's role.
"How did one boy do this?" one of the parents asked.
Then right after these notions enter the thread. In trot a couple of debunkers, using thread clogging tactics to obfuscate these facts.
But the parent's question is a good one:
"How did one boy do this?"
The police have yet to offer an answer. And, given the parent's description of the crime scene, a fairly detailed answer is required.
Why do we need answers. You've not pointed out any misconduct on the part of those who conducted the crime scene investigation.
This is classic thread-clogging. You know that isn't an appropriate question. Obviously, cops do an investigation to provide answers on how a crime occurred. Just a page ago you seemed to be lauding their brilliant investigative technique.
The important point remains:
The parents saw the crime scene. They thought it was bizarre. There didn't seem to be enough blood. The murders seemed to be committed in too small an area(s). It forced one of them to ask the question:
"How did one boy do this?"
This wasn't a conspiracy theorist asking this question. Nor some anonymous blogger who'd never been near the scene. This was the parent of one of the victims who said this after visiting the crime scene. He saw what they showed him and said:
"How did one boy do this?"
A question the cops still haven't answered. They've made all kinds of supposition-based statements about Rodger's actions elsewhere. But not there.
"How did one boy do this?
They haven't answered that question. Not privately to the parents. Or publicly to the press.
Does that seem like a reasonable way to evaluate the integrity of a crime scene investigation? To let the emotionaly wrought, bereaved parents of the victim walk through the crime scene after the the investigation has been conducted and observe their reactions?
Non-responsive.
Have the police adequately explained the events?
"How did one boy do this?"
It's interesting how when the victims families make political statements the official story crowd all rush to their defense. When they ask hard questions? Not so much.
The boy who lived upstairs also said he could not figure out how he would not have heard some noise but he heard nothing.
The police interviewed him and concluded he couldn't have heard it.
Yes well he said lives there and said he should have heard it...I have not seen the police info but I would think he should know if he can normally hear what happens in the apartment below him or not.
The police said he was almost legally deaf.

Wow and i saw him say he didn't understand why he didn't hear anything...seems odd.
You're forming opinions in a vacuum.

You're forming opinions in a vacuum.
I don't believe vacuum correctly describes getting information that comes from people who were right there and knew those involved. Very true that we are not looking at all the details of the investigation and may never get all the information, but that is always true of the publics position.
The suspect’s grandfather was George Rodger, a renowned British photographer who gained notoriety for his gripping wartime shots, Britain’s Telegraph newspaper reported. George Rodger was one of the first photojournalists to reach the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp after it was liberated — and took iconic photos of Jewish survivors. He also took photos of mass graves that provide a historical record of the horrors that took place.
Multiple witnesses say they saw two people inside the suspect's vehicle, however, during the press conference, Sheriff Brown would neither confirm nor deny whether there was a passenger in the car.
Michael Vitak, a student from the Czech Republic, told Sanchez what he witnessed. "Guys in a BMW. Maybe they were trying to prove they're tough," Vitak said during a live televised interview. Vitak saw them shooting at two girls; one was shot dead, the other was critically hurt.
Vitak said it was too dark to see the suspects' faces.
One woman identified as Sierra told Sanchez she was approached by two men in a black BMW. The driver flashed a small black handgun and asked '"Hey, what's up?"'
As Isla Vista and the rest of the world come to grips with the mass murder on the streets of the college town last night, there is a steady trickle of information emerging about the madman who killed seven, including himself: 22-year-old Santa Barbara City College student and I.V. resident Elliot Rodger.
