Listen to his Martial art history claim. Play close attention to his weapons claims as well. No, none of these links proves anything about the MCMAP claim or any other assertions.The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system.

Hardly. See Richard Guerra, whose lies were published by two newspapers and disproven by a simple FOIA request.

Some news reporters do this. There are quite a few hacks out there that don't. Next time you're reading a paper check out the "corrections" section. Do so for a few weeks to get an idea how reputable any individual newspaper is. Originally Posted by Bekka

Yes, these are known industry as fluff pieces vs. investigative pieces. Originally Posted by Cy Q. Faunce

Grandmaster is a Westernized term. I can name multiple arts that you don't need a "Black Belt" to start weapons training. Originally Posted by Bekka

Yes, that means the reporter didn't do all of her research. Wait, you got pretty defensive. Does the reporter train with Carter? Are you the "reporter."
Oh and is your implication is reporters don't make things up?The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system.

BJJ might make you a better ground fighter, but Judo will make you a better dancer.

Yes, some small paper in bumfuck middle-of-nowhere is going to critically research a fluff piece that's only in there because not enough interesting stuff happened. Originally Posted by Bekka

Re: USMA. Entry requirements for these "hall of fame" organisations are so low that the accolades are meaningless. They're nothing more than marketing gimmicks and mutual back scratching societies. I suggest you do some research.
The rest of the articles are pure fluff, they prove nothing at all about the questionable assertions that are listed here, they don't even mention them.
Where are the articles about the incidents that involved the police? Surely "martial arts student thwarts car jacker and hands him to the cops" would make for a more interesting story than the ones you posted? Why didn't Hargrave call the papers for that? Oh, and where are those police reports by the way?
