(KMOV, August 24, 2013) – Police are hoping surveillance video will help catch four suspects after a hot dog vender was robbed and attacked with a stolen hammer at a Ferguson Home Depot on Wednesday.
Authorities said the hot dog vendor was standing at the front entrance of the Home Depot in the 10900 block of New Halls Ferry Rd. around 3 p.m. when four shoplifters walked by and swiped his cell phone.
Police said the vendor chased them out of the store, but was struck in the head with a hammer one of the suspects had stolen. The suspects then got in a car and drove away.
The bloodied victim was transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
Authorities were looking at surveillance video to help identify the suspects. Read more via KMOV...

I remember that incident. One of them was Michael Brown?
the cellphone theft was to lure him outside so they could attack him
premeditated ... maximum penalty
I’ve been traveling. This was all over the news, right, and I just missed it?

The one in front kind of looks like his running buddy, not so sure about the one in back. After all the picture is a year old and they are growing “Children”.
I remember Al Sharpton being particularly upset by it.

Just deserts for havin’ white privilege? And where’s bloomie and gabby/mark and sarah raisin’ hell about hammer violence? Huh? Where are they?

When will America outlaw the scourge of hammers! !???!!!
Good thing they didn’t use a finishing hammer or this guy would be done...
People got derailed making wisecracks here but the point here seems valid. Is this Michael Brown and his partner? At a minimum, it is interesting that Michael Brown and his partner who were in the store earlier (and the partner was subsequently interviewed on TV, I saw that) bear a passing resemblance to two in the picture at KMOV. Then it comes down to who actually struck the hotdog vendor with the hammer. As grisly an act as that is, it doesn’t mean all 4 were involved.
At this point, what difference does it make? The narrative has already been written by the msm that st. mike was only an innocent victim.

Thanks, very helpful. Now there is that video where the conversation was overheard that really throws a curve into the narrative.
As I’m sure everyone has seen but like the “fog of war”, so much to wonder about. Except MSM is sure not doing a good job.
