While August stays on the offensive, we asked his attorney if he did more than offend with a post-which mockingly fabricated a quote and attributed it to Oscar Mira.
Jules Vasquez
"How would you respond to the criticism that, in fact, Alberto did not express an opinion? Alberto August put in quotes a false quote attributed to Mr. Mira."
"Perhaps it can be argued he was being reckless and irresponsible. Irresponsible by creating a false quote. How would you how would you respond to that?"
Mike Peyrefitte, August's Attorney
"Let's just say that your opinion that's really been that which I don't hear at all. But let's assume that's your opinion. Is that reason?"
"Is that reason for you to send six policemen, armed policemen to a person's house? Tell the person - his wife is telling you he is not here, can you wait till he comes back? No. We will break down the gate. We will break inside of this vehicle. And as long as he is not here, we will arrest unu, and Ker unu da jail, with a search warrant to seize all computers, all phones? They still have his phone."
"What I see people put up in social media, Jules, what I see people put up on Facebook, Instagram, I mean, then the jails will be filled or the pisshouses will be filled because people have said a lot worse than what Alberto and I said and they being able to not be bothered."
