Yelling “fire” in a theater doesn’t cause panic either. /s
What a low life.

The $hakedown is all about the false narrative.

MSM is complicit.

And that makes it all better...

It should. We are Christians and should understand that people make mistakes. He sounded sincere too which was surprising. He is still going through hell. I think we can look past this.

‘How can Michael Brown have a step father when his mother has never been married? Not to brown’s father or her current boyfriend”

Thank you for asking that question, I’ve been wondering the same thing.

Repentance is one thing. But to those who lost businesses and livelihoods because of this man’s incitement, it is not enough.

He incited a riot. Repentance can reduce his punishment but it is not something a civilized society can simply look past.

The entire situation is wrapped up in so many confused issues as to be incoherent. "Burn this shit down!"

It seesm to me to clearly be , "Incite to Riot," his lawyer is trying desperately to get this "bystander" to shut his yap so they can have a chance of cashing in latter.

Somebody, please, just nuke the neighborhood.

The real question should be: “why was the media right there with a camera and mic singling him out?”

Direct correlation between that apology and the threats of lawsuits and impending FBI investigation.

Yeah.

Marriage doesn’t exist anymore.

Except if it is two men or two women.

It’s Bizarro World all the time in the Drive By Media.

He apologized, so all is forgiven and forgotten.

Will he also accept responsibility for his lawlessness?

Accepting responsibility in American politics does not mean the acceptance of chastisement or culpability.

The stepfather of Michael Brown has apologized for angry comments he made after the grand jury decided not to indict the police officer who killed his stepson, but said his remarks had nothing to do with the arson and looting that ravaged Ferguson and the surrounding area.

if his words caused no trouble, then why is he apologizing? for what is he sorry? for expressing his raw emotion that had nothing to do with the looting and fires and destruction that night?

How can Michael Brown have a step father when his mother has never been married? Not to Brown’s father or her current man.

well then, this journalist is disingenuous... no surprise there... in the article, he is called her husband:

She began sobbing. Her husband jumped on top of the car and hugged her, then yelled out.

I guess I missed the part where he said, “I offer my deepest apologies to Officer Wilson and the City of Ferguson for my son’s inexcusable, unprovoked attack. Officer Wilson had every right to defend himself. “

An apology does not erase the crime. The apology and his emotional state may serve as mitigation, though.
