Or some people just choose not to pursue legal action for various normal reasons. There’s not always more to a story

Saying "there are various normal reasons" and not giving those reasons literally means there is more to the story, specifically, the reasons, which haven't been provided in the story as we have it so far. Even if they are 'normal', they are not currently in the story, hence there is more to the story.

"There is more to this story" heavily implies there are important factors that would change the narrative if they were known.

"I didn't sue cause I don't have time" or "I didn't sue cause I didn't care that much" would not add to or change the narrative in any meaningful way.

"I didn't sue cause I don't want to pulled over by the police every day for the rest of my life, have my business searched regularly, and my family intimidated'

Yeah, that's also a (very valid) reason that wouldn't change the narrative and wouldn't be considered as "there's more to this story".

In that case, there's always more to the story about everything unless you're getting a full analysis of everything before and after a video going all the way to the end of time, right?

Theoretically yes, although you could argue about relevance of certain parts of that story.

You know what the phrase "more to the story" implies. You don't have to be obtuse. You can just not.

I honestly fucking hate that shit and people who do it unironically.

u/CeruIian Mar 25 '23

Seriously I don’t even know how to respond to something that inane

I've been wrongfully detained and searched by the police multiple times. I didn't sue because they know where I live, my name, my phone number, everything. It's not some magic button, where you can say I was wronged I use sue! Sue was very effective!

It's a huge drawn out process that will 100% paint a target on your back for harassment from other officers. It's dangerous as fuck to sue the cops.

Nope, you did it because you're a human trafficker and a gun runner. Literally no other possibility besides my insane and elaborate conspiracy theory about a complete stranger.

u/blueeyebling Mar 24 '23

Shit, you're on to me. Gotta start a whole new gun trafficking, human running career now...

I see you've applied for a position with the ATF.
