The last time this scenario made headlines all we heard was that "It Was A Child Buying Skittles&Ice Tea".And now it's an "Unarmed Teen".But what the radical left wont mention is the immense size of this gentle giant.Michael Brown didn't need a gun to beat a much smaller man to a pulp.Michael Brown was approximately 6'2",around 285 pounds.But we wont hear those important facts from the likes of Al Sharpton and MSNBC. Micheal Brown was a coward,what ever happened to "Pick On A Man Your Own Size"?Not with the late Michael Brown,he picked on men 1/2 his size,he didn't need to be armed.Now can you imagine if the cop that he attempted to pulverize was 6'5"&a solid 350 pounds?He would of ran away like a cat chasing a mouse.
MB had two arms and was willing to use them.
I’m about 340lbs, 6 feet tall and pretty wide. Would you want me throwing you around like a rag doll? Of course he’s dangerous without a firearm. Sergeant Wilson’s eye socket speaks to that.
and what about all of those white guys thrown in jail for possessing gun shaped pop-tarts?
I’m 6’4”,weigh about 240 and I work hard on the farm.People tend to not pick arguements with me.
I wonder if Al Sharpton knows any of this.
Sharpton’s there to turn a quick buck.The facts do NOT concern him.
Sharpton’s a Stoolie.
How quickly people forget. Last year a man beat his daughters’ rapist to death with his bare hands. And while I don’t know, I don’t think the 24 year-old who beat to death the 47 year-old rapist was as big as Brown.
it is called in legal terms, “disparity of force”.
it applies to police and to law abiding citizens defending themselves.
it is a legal concept that allows the victim to use equal or greater force than their attacker.
things that fall under disparity of force: if you are older, if you are surprise attacked, if there are more of them than you, if you are smaller, if you are weaker, if you are injured/disabled, if they have non-gun but lethal weapons like knives or baseball bats, ...all are examples of disparity of force that allow you to use equal or greater force defending yourself.
note if there’s only’,one left standing the ‘outnumbered’ disparity of force excuse goes away, but ohers still may apply.
YES, Captain Obvious.
this is how the left is trying to convince the 20% of Americans who are as dumb as gerbils. Micheal Brown was an innocent,defenseless teen,who was only out to buy skittles,ice tea and cigars,and out of nowhere this racist white cop chases him in the streets and eventually shoots the little child in the head as if he was a stray dog!
Actually, I recall reading he was 6’4 and 300 lbs. From the video of him strong-arming the guy in the store, he was used to using his size as a weapon.
At 76” and 290 lbs nobody argues with that. I’m 75” and 200. That 90lbs whether muscle or fat is a force to be reckoned with and is not something someone smaller than me would even consider confronting without a weapon... Preferably a firearm
excellent and very pertinent point!
The video showing him throwing that liquor store clerk around like a rag doll (15 minutes before his death) shows that he was more than willing to be something less than gentle when it suited his purposes.A 6’ 4” 300 pound guy can break most people in half like a toothpick.
Travis the chimp was shot and killed by a police officer in Connecticut. He was strong and out of control and I am sure that the officer felt threatened too.
That’s odd, I’m six four and 250 and solid at age 70. My 28 year old neighbor asks me to lift heavy objects sometimes for him but he still argues with me. He does do so rather respectfully though. People who don’t know me tend to avoid disagreeing with me. They seem to have a problem connecting the white hair and the lined face with the way I look from the neck down.
