Was it justified? That is the one question to be answered in the shooting death of Michael Brown. If the answer is no, the courts will deal with the crime. If the answer is yes, then the police officer goes back to work.
Yet, before the investigation is complete, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial board has rendered its verdict on the editorial page (Aug. 11): “Michael Brown didn’t get due process.”
An important area of North County is in tatters, caused by rioters determined to take other people’s stuff, and the Post-Dispatch decides this is the time to further stoke the fires....
The St. Louis media, St. Louis commentators and politicians must think twice before talking once.
I still don’t get why anyone (the rioters and their supporters, including the entire left) pretends it is an act of justice to use these incidents as an excuse to steal from people who had nothing to do with it. Well I do really, fundamentally-it’s because for none of them, is it really about justice.
“If the answer is no, the courts will deal with the crime.”
Wrong. The people in the streets don’t know much, but they know that’s not true.
