I wonder how funny it would seem to you jokesters if you were in Officer Darren Wilson situation to come close to death yourself having to kill a man to save your life, then watch your actions sit fire to your town place your family in danger, possibly losing your career, being call a ‘murder’ by almost every news outlet in the nation and have the President himself sending his henchmen to try to get your lynched, I bet you would be laughing your asses off.
And more evidence they have absolutely no case. The more comes out, the more Wilson is cleared.
Yes, but not having any BLUNTS to roll a joint with can make one aggressive.
3 paths to aggression for pot smokers:
1.No pot.
2.No papers or pipe.
3.No lighter.
I read somewhere it’s a ‘thing’ now to lace pot with PCP. That’d certainly lead to violent behavior.
Mr. Brown also ‘rapped’ about drinking lean - the same codeine-mix St. Skittles was on.
You’d think the full toxicology and juvenile record are coming out eventually.
If, and I mean IF, there are 10 shots fired, my suspicions that this was a staged shooting to spark a race war may be closer to the truth than I want to contemplate. Perhaps there was someone else who fired the kill shot as a living Brown could have become loose lipped, uncontrollable and a silencing would be harder to achieve.
Nah, nah, can’t be.
But, but, but.... on TV and in the MOVIES all the good guys are perfect shots.
Lighten up and quit being such a wuss.
I am on Wilson’s side. My only point was that I didn’t give a S@#^ about that thug Michael Brown. Now move on to something else, please.
While it is certainly not new (It was popular before Obama became President), it is a 'thing' in St. Louis, especially with the minority crowd and 'gang' groups.
In particular, it is a 'thing' in North St. Louis .
I think a lot of things. Many don't happen.
Not sure if this has been posted - here is the tape. (sounds like the guy was enjoying some born while gunshots went off.) http://fox2now.com/2014/08/26/cnn-releases-audio-recorded-during-time-of-michael-browns-shooting/
My understading of the autopsy, from other analyses ive seen of at least what’s been released (the family one, not the two others) are that the entry wounds are consistant with a stitching of the six shots from lower left to upper right with the second to final shot hitting Browns right eye and the final shot impacting the top of the skull as Brown was falling forward. All taken by an officer who was impacted by having taken blows to the face that had degregaded his vision in one eye.
That would mean that the six shots that struck were fired in succession, withou pause. That doesn’t preclude other shots being fired, but does cause problems with the 7 + pause + 4 allegation.
What would really be interesting would be if there were 8 unfired rounds in Wilson's gun.
Can we petition to have your alias changed to “Francis”
No one is taking pot shots at Officer Wilson or what’s happening to him. Were taking about dark/gallows humor about a situation that appals us all.
And there’s a LOT of humor of that variety to be found here. Responding to “Hands up, don’t shoot” with “Pants up, don’t loot”, for instance.
WTH... The guy was reeeeaaaally into what he was doing online that he did not stop after hearing the first shots in the background?
I lived on the edge of Ferguson for a year or so, years ago and the blacks would shoot off guns into the air all the time. (part of the reason we got the hell out of there because it was crazy)
Disclosure: I've zero first hand experience with toking. My second hand smoke experience tells me that the odor of burning week most closely resembles the order of burning straw & sheep dung. My observations of habitual users tells me all I need to know about the end game.
So I've acquired the sense to avoid the junk even if I may not be quite as knowledgeable about the details as the habitual users.
The kill shot impacted the top of Browns skull and travelled downward relative to the position of the body. This is consistant with it having been taken at close range as the body was falling forward.
For your scenario to be true, the second shooter would have needed to have been a sniper with a rifle, I think. And probably firing a round that would have had an explosive impact on the skull. Like with JFK. Not consistant with the pictures of Brown’s body lying face down with an intact head and stream of blood running down from the front of it.
Was that confirmed?
No. Very little of this entire story has been confirmed. But that doesn't stop folks on both sides from jumping to conclusions. Oh well....
“No. Very little of this entire story has been confirmed. But that doesn’t stop folks on both sides from jumping to conclusions. Oh well....”
Probably because its so simple to have a pretty good idea what happened. Anyone who is not clueless about how the “Community” lies about everything and is stone cold racist, jumping to conclusions makes sense.
Would I be jumping to conclusions stating that the Seattle Seahawks last year would beat a High School team into the ground if their lives depended on it? Of course not, its a slam dunk.
Of course a cop could gun down a “community” member in cold blood with no cause. What maybe 3 times out of 100? 97% is as close to a sure thing you can get.
In that view, the last 4 were _after_ the string of 6 hits (plus one miss), which in that case are all misses. No harm done then, leaving nothing more than speculation about 2 seconds of mindset of a gravely wounded man who just successfully fought for his life and was still on an extreme adrenaline rush & in a deeply fearful state of mind. “Reflective contemplation is not required in the presence of an upraised knife” (nor, presumably, in the scant seconds after it is dropped).
Another consistent theory would be 7 “stitched” up the arm (3 close misses), pause, 4 at head with 2 misses. My interpretation of the autopsy sketch suggests arm & head may not have been part of the same “stitching”.
