No lawyer skill required...simple definition

In Response To: Re: Roger debunked (Roger)

Roge, you simply don't understand the term you used. Busted requires no conviction. In fact it has nothing to do with it and there are no lawyering skills required.

Simply, the act of a raid is a bust. And when someone simply gtets arrested it is getting busted. Further, you indicated that Acorn was behind the busts. In the example I provided, I clearly showed a raid and that Acorn was not the one to cause it, thus "Debunking Roger". If conviction is what you wish to convey, then next time use something that conveys such.

For your benefit, the urban dictionary indicates "caught" and says nothing as to conviction. And neither does the definitions below which says arrest or a police raid which is exactly what my post referred to, a bust.
