Here's the latest on the Henry "Skip" Gates scandale. The Cambridge police have released the police report on the arrest. The report doesn't present Dr. Gates in a very favorable light. In fact, he comes off like a very arrogant Harvard professor, desperate to play the role of a victim. Having met several Harvard professors in my four-year undergraduate career there, I have to say that I do not find this to be an entirely outlandish portrayal. The size of the egos bouncing around the Yard are comparable only to only a few other places in the United States--some parts of Hollywood, and maybe Wall Street. On other hand, as a few bloggers have pointed out, it was the arresting officer, Sgt. James Crowley, who made out the report. So, you know, he maybe doesn't have the clearest view of the ground on this particular matter.
Dr. Gates, for his part, tells a very different story: one in which he was trying to be as reasonable as possible under the circumstances (those being, like, having to justify walking around in your own fucking house).
Who woulda thunk it, huh? Two guys, get in a fight, end up telling two different stories that make the other guy look like a jerk?
So, with all that, here's my question:
WHY TEH FUCK IS ANYBODY STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS? WHO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THERE? WHO KNOWS WHAT ANYBODY'S MOTIVES WERE? YOU SURE AS HELL DON'T! I DON'T! CHRIST ALMIGHTY, I DOUBT THAT GATES AND CROWLEY EVEN KNOW AT THIS POINT!
SO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!
Jesus.
