I reported the fb page as a hate site.
They need to get a mirror of this up fast, CoralCDN isn't working for this url.
Yep. The kids driving through my neighborhood blasting gangsta rap so loud my windows rattle (making me wish for my own Officer Wilson) are uniformly white, even though my neighborhood is 1/3 to 1/4 black.And purchased and embraced by a huge numbers of young white kids.![]()
Had Wilson been attacked by a football player that might well be relevant, but Brown doesn't strike me as someone capable of covering 23 yards very quickly. Also, a typical office in a stressful situation firing a service pistol with a 3" sight window is probably more of a danger to passers-by than to his target.70 feet, not 70 yards.
70 feet is 23 yards. How long does it take a football player to cover 23 yards? Hint: not very long.
I initially thought that as well, but an early delivery allows time for all the out-of-towners to converge by nightfall. Might be smarter to pass the first night without much warning.Wouldn't it have been wise to release the grand jury decision earlier in the day, so the initial blowback happened during daylight hours? I don't envy the police in the STL area tonight, assuming they release the decision yet this evening.
Now I want a ChalupaI've been attempting to call the Taco Bell in Ferguson for half an hour, getting only a busy signal or no connection at all. Fortunately I just saw someone pull into the drive thru, order food and receive it on CNN.
For that man so loved his fourth meal that he himself was watching the Autozone next door burn down on CNN but said to himself, "Ya know, I really want that chalupa."
This was highly irregular though. I don't when I've ever heard of a Grand jury hearing defense testimony.Wow... So much fail with you.
He did his job... to the letter. They didn't need a special prosecutor as even the DOJ didn't find civil rights violations.
"He just does an evidence dump to a bunch of civilians who wind up trying the case, which is not supposed to happen"
That is what a fucking Grand Jury is... civilians and you and everyone should be grateful that grand juries are. HE released all the evidence so there would be no question from anyone that the grand jury saw everything. He wasn't tried by the grand jury - that isn't their responsibility and you know it. Stop fucking trolling.
Prosecutors are supposed to prosecute the case IFF they believe a crime has been committed. Prosecutors prosecuting cases where they do not believe a crime has been committed is an offense against justice.Hate to break it to you genius but GJs are probable cause hearings not the actual trial.
For example if the GJ goes into judging the credibility of one witness vs another that is what a trial is for.
Also prosecutors are supposed to prosecute the case. That is not what was done.
Anyone can be flat-out wrong, but I'd like to see people who gave testimony and later admitted they were intentionally lying prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.Turns out that quite a few of the witnesses recanted portions of their testimony when confronted with physical evidence that contradicted it.
Looking at the pictures from Wilson's trip to the hospital one can only be amazed that he survived the beating that Brown was trying to give him.

I applaud them for taking their time and going through all the evidence so thoroughly. Like Shane, I hope they release all the evidence so that everyone can review it. Probably won't change many minds, but would clear up some things. I know I'd like some questions answered.

Watergate and Vietnam combined to change the point of reportage. It's now an image industry and often an advocacy industry, as in this case.There hasn't been a good reporter in two decades. They are all Jerry Springers now.
It's very difficult (in my opinion anyway) to not be sympathetic to Brown and his family because he's dead at 18 and he doesn't seem to have any history that would make us say "good riddance", regardless of his apparently atypical behavior that cost him his life.Exactly when did I defend Brown.
Oh that's right because I was more skeptical of law enforcement then you that is an automatic defense of Brown??
lol +1Because if he had a son, he would have stolen something besides some stupid cigars.
Yep. The protesters are merely prioritizing which laws they are going to obey.I have to admit that I laughed a little bit when Obama said we were a nation built on the rule of law.
Why does he feel obligated to speak about this, exactly?
Yep, and well said.It's because Wilson was not just accused of murdering Brown. The mindset in the media and the mob was Wilson was on trial for every injustice done against any person of dark skin color in the history of this nation. Injustices have been done to people in the past, that is a proven fact, and therefore Wilson must be found guilty. It doesn't matter what the facts are. Injustices have occurred, Wilson must be punished.
It's a very sad thing to watch...
Christmas shopping.They gassed the hell out of that one street. I wonder how many protesters have gas masks. Watching ABC news on appletv live stream.
What are protesters trying to accomplish now? There won't be an indictment and no repeat grand jury, so do they have a purpose now or are they just expressing anger?
Yep. And in this case the cops are intentionally not protecting people for political correctness and/or fear of escalating the violence. I'm assuming they will still respond to 9-1-1 calls where practical, but if you're in the path of the riot that will be academic to you. You're either armed, or you're a victim.This is the truest piece of information is this thread. There are and always will be periods of time where gov't cannot protect your property and your life. Arming yourself is no different than having an umbrella insurance policy.
The prosecutor specifically said they changed their testimony though, and speaking to the media is not testimony.It's not a crime to lie to the media. Most likely, they told the truth when questioned officially, and this was different from being on CNN.
The injuries don't really play that big a part. They confirm part of the story, but, reading the testimony, they didn't really matter much.
All of the evidence should show up here. Quite a bit there already.

It's something that never should have been published though, an obvious attempt to sway the public akin to claiming that Wilson shot Brown in the back and then showing a large black man shot in the back with a shotgun.No one thought that was Darren Wilson, iirc.
And what does that have to do with the GJ not giving the injuries much weight?
Yep - not that my opinion is going to matter much.Well, you can read their statements yourself and decide.
