Last time, we showed you how Leonard Harville published wrong information based on photos sent in by one of his friends<\/a>. Today, we’ll show you how he makes things up completely on his own.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One of our SouthsideCentral friends sent me this SPECIAL BULLETIN this morning…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m glad to factcheck things like this, so all I did was contact the Danville Police Department. You know, just like Leonard could have done and gotten the “MORE INFORMATION WILL BE COMING OUT” part fixed all by himself. It’s not hard to do and I got all of the information in four minutes. Let’s start the factchecking process.<\/p>\n

\n

“THE DANVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN AT THE APARTMENTS AT 140 OLD PINEY FOREST ROAD”<\/p>\n

Judges?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s 140 Piney Forest Road. It was a break-in at the doctor’s office beside those apartments.<\/p>\n

\n

“MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING SERIOUS”<\/p>\n

Judges?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The suspect was caught in the act inside the doctor’s office and arrested.<\/p>\n

\n

“THE CHILDREN WERE BEING KEPT BY A NEIGHBOR WHICH CALLED POLICE TO COME AND CHECK THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD BLOOD ON THEIR BODIES AND CLOTHING”<\/p>\n

Do I really need to ask the judges? Fine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hoo Boy. There was a vehicle wreck in the same time period where the caller reported that she had blood on her hand. There was also another completely unrelated call on the other side of town about some children possibly being left alone. Leonard somehow combined all three totally unrelated incidents into a narrative and published it. Dear God.<\/p>\n

\n

“SO SAD WHEN VIOLENCE COMES INTO A HOME WITH CHILDREN THERE”<\/p>\n

Sigh. Judges?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was absolutely no violence. There was a breaking and entering, a vehicle wreck, and a child welfare call. None of those were anywhere near each other and they were all completely unrelated.<\/p>\n

\n

This was irresponsible “reporting” and I don’t give a damn if he claims “I JUST PUT THE INFORMATION OUT THERE AND MY READERS WILL HELP CORRECT WHAT IS NOT CORRECT”. He will immediately jump on anybody that will factcheck him on his Facebook page, then delete and\/or block them. He’ll blast the hell out of me, too… and I don’t give a damn about that either. He could have “reported” the correct information by just contacting the police department and getting the facts.<\/p>\n

All Leonard Harville accomplished was to make some people believe that somebody had broken into an apartment and hurt some children. That’s shameful.<\/p>\n
