Snitches get stitches, eh? Well, in my opinion, looters should get lashes, a la Passion Of The Christ.
The “Mob” is not interested in the facts at all. It reminds me of the old Monty Python “Holy Grail” scene where the mob wants to burn the witch.
“BURN her”! “Burn her”! they shouted.
The same holds true for the Mob in Mo. but this time, they are backed up by the Federal Lackeys.
There could only be one reason the neighborhood hasn’t been cordoned off and outsiders kept out. That would be a desire for the chaos to continue and escalate.
End of story.
The only fact that matters.
Another fact, which doesn't really matter but which is interesting to note: Despite multiple media inquiries, no one has been able to find out which college Michael Brown was supposedly enrolled in.
I guess that enrollment must have gotten lost in the mail, like Sean Bell's marriage license.
The media has played a major role in the destruction, damage and injury in this town all for the sake of ratings. Soon they will leave to go back to their lives and this town and businesses will be left to pick up what ever pieces are left.
I have yet to see an article willing to state that Michael Brown was a thug and criticize how he was brought up. Did his parents live up to their parental responsibilities? What morals if any was he taught? What schools did he attend? Was he loved at home and taught social graces? The media will avoid the real cause of young black men killing and getting killed. All too frequently they are born out of wedlock or even a shared parental unit. In many cases their birth represents a source of income and free stuff. Did they learn anything in school or was school just a misnomer for baby sitting. Did they graduate or were they left to the street school of hard knocks? Who was their role model? Were they taught to work or scheme? Many years ago I worked in a prison. Reading pre-sentencing reports was a window into what was, and I suspect still is, a major problem with blacks in America. Sadly our politicians continue to support this lifestyle and even encourage it. It’s time for blacks to accept responsibility, get off their “ you owe me” attitude, and raise their race to its’ true potential. I will welcome the day when blacks in general conduct themselves as most of my black friends do.
I would be willing to bet that someone has video of the entire event and maybe too afraid to come forward with it.
“That is Brown’s companion, the indicted felon Dorian Johnson who was at the robbery of the convenience store and came up with the “hands raised” meme which has caused so much trouble and apparently has unnamed media-credentialed “witnesses” (USA TODAY) saying they saw too.”
It is interesting to note that Dorian Johnson was interviewed by the media with his attorney that said Johnson couldn’t answer any questions because he is listed as a FEDERAL witness, as such he won’t be charged with any crimes.
Let that sink in. He has been given some sort of immunity by Holder in exchange for saying what they want him to say!
It doesn’t matter. The Sharpton gang (Holder, 0bama, etc) believe the first reports along with the MSM. It’s been tried in the media and case closed.
I believe there is video out there...just a matter of time before the highest bid gets to publish it!!!
OK, here is a list of the crimes of Michael “Big Thug” Brown and his accomplice, Mr. Johnson, on the day in question;
1) Theft ($40 box swisher sweets)
2) Assault and battery on the store employee or customer
3) Use and possession of a controlled substance. (Still illegal in Missouri)
(They meet Officer Wilson in the street.)
4) Jaywalking—a minor crime, but a crime nonetheless.
5) Assault and battery of a police officer as evidenced by officer Wilson’s injury to his orbital socket.
(Up to this point there is undisputed evidence of all these criminal acts.)
6)Allegation of attempted theft of the officer’s gun. If the story is correct there should be evidence of a gun discharge in the patrol car.
7 Failure to obey a lawful order of a police officer. (I do not know if this is a crime; any lawyers?)
The entire chain of causation of all this starts with Mike “Big Thug” and his friend’s theft. His accomplice, Mr. Johnson deliberately lied about Mike “Big Thug,” being shot in the back to save his own skin and this lie precipitated all the riots. He needs to go to jail after they plea down to get a full and true account of everything that happened that day.
No one should feel sorry for his mother any longer. The appropriate response would be for his mother to publicly pay the store owner for the stolen Swisher Sweets, to apologize that her son’s actions resulted in his and other stores being looted and peoples lives being destroyed. This will not happen because She and Attorney Crump are selfish people who would rather perpetuate a lie and engage in “character assassination” of the officer that her son assaulted to get a big liability lawsuit/payout. She should be shamed for what she is doing.
This will not happen of course. Adults are responsible; the people at the center of this will deny the connection between personal actions and consequences and are devoid of honor and dignity.
This has already degenerated into a political slugfest. On the Left it is spearheaded by the Democrat US President, the Democrat US Attorney General, the Democrat State Governer and Democrat Mr. Sharpton, and on the Right there are the . . Um . . RACIST CRICKETS.
Good Luck in getting justice Mr Policeman!
Early on, one of the mainstream media channels had an interview with a black woman named Tiffany who claimed to have witnessed most of what happened from nearby. She largely agreed with the pro-Michael Brown version of his last moments. It may be that she had heard that version from others before she was interviewed.
Losers: Jay Nixon, Captain Johnson, Eric Holder, Barack Obama, the Mayor of Ferguson, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the citizens of Ferguson, the business owners who had their stuff stolen and broken and the biggest loser of all, the MSM who provoked riots and looting with their unethical reporting and race baiting.
