Mirecki mum on details of beating
Lawrence Journal-World ^ | December 7, 2005 | Eric Weslander

Posted on 12/07/2005 6:50:29 AM PST by johnnyb_61820

Key facts about the reported attack remained unclear Tuesday, including exactly where it happened. A report released by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said the location was “unknown” and listed it as south of 31st Street on either East 1400 Road or East 1500 Road.

Louisiana Street turns into East 1400 Road outside the city limits. Haskell Avenue becomes East 1500 Road.

Also, there was conflicting information about whether Mirecki reported it at the scene or at the hospital. In an interview Monday with the Journal-World, he said he called police from the side of the road, but sheriff’s officials said they were dispatched to the hospital.

Mirecki declined to clarify the discrepancy when asked about it Tuesday outside the sheriff’s office.

“I can; I just don’t want to,” he said.

The sheriff’s report, which is classified as an aggravated battery, says that Mirecki suffered minor injuries. It says the incident started about 6:20 a.m. and was reported about 6:40 a.m.

KU faculty on Tuesday pondered the effects that recent weeks’ events would have on the religious studies department.

“I don’t think we know how it’s going to shake out yet,” professor Tim Miller said. “This is a difficult time to get through. I want to get through as well as we can.”

Religious studies professor Jonathan Boyarin said, “I hope that we will be able to move forward in our scholarship and teaching with mutual respect among the academic community and the people of Kansas and the larger community around us.”

We don't know where it happened, when the police were called, and, despite being beaten by two hillbillies with a metal object, he suffered only "minor injuries".

And now he won't talk to clarify anything.

LOL! Another case of academic autoharassment, like that psycho psych prof in California.

What a transparent loser.

Ha hah! LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIArrrrrr!

The filthy pervert leftie, made it up!
He was never attacked by any "fundies".
He probably got beat up by his drug dealer or bookie.

He is no doubt trying to limit the chances of being caught in his lie. The less he says, the better for him.

Hey Proffessor, Filing a false police report is a serious crime.

It looks like South 31st Street is the edge of town and East 1400 and East 1500 Roads extend 5 and 6 miles into the farmland, respectively. So they have the location of the attack narrowed down to some point along 12 miles or so of country road. Which is to say, not at all.

If this attack happened, Prof. Mirecki will lead the police to the exact spot, where they can examine physical evidence that may lead to the solution of the crime.

If this attack never happened, Prof. Mirecki will never lead them to an exact spot, because the police might be able to examine physical evidence and determine that no attack took place.

So, for my purposes, whether or not he leads the police to a specific location will be the best objective indicator of whether or not this attack took place. Until he does, this does not pass the sniff test.

I don't care. Christians are still all a bunch of hate-filled, blood-thirsty, ignorant buffoons who will do anything to turn science classes into astrology classes just to establish a theocracy and force their values down the throats of everyone else.

I grew up in that area. 31st street runs through the "sacred" Baker Wetlands, that marshy environmental jewel that has halted the construction of the Southwest Lawrence traffic way for the past 20+ years. There is a park and some light industry in the area and the road runs along some land owned by Haskell Indian Nations University. The area where the attack is alleged is actually highly traveled (although I don't know how heavy traffic would be at 6:20 am.) It is right on the edge of town.

I have enough experience with the press, that there is no way I'd talk to them in such circumstances either. He's talking to the police. That is all citizenship requires.

Also, if I were faking an incident, I'd have decided in advance where it happened. Whereas if I were accosted on a county road and were not paying attention, I might easily not know exactly where I was.
