So all young men who, in your opinion, are not good should be killed?

because they had a fight over the gun. Michael tried to steal it from him...

This guy has a brilliant point...

I agree with everything he said.

..that was in the car..(if it happened..)..and that's by Wilson's own statement...the fatal shot wasn't fired then, that was later when Michael Brown had left and Wilson followed...

That is something that's entirely your opinion... There have been countless articles all over saying more or less the same thing

There have been just as many articles pointing out that there is easily enough evidence for an indictment.

Thats not consistent with the autopsy.

..I don't think it is just Girth's opinion though Caitlin..I read the article as well and with a statement like this in it, I can't see that it could be seen as 'unbiased' reporting...


As the information coming out of the grand jury investigation seems increasingly to support Officer Wilson’s version of the events of that day, it remains to be seen how the protesters in Ferguson and St. Louis, many of whom are from elsewhere, will respond to the news.

We predict that they’ll either ignore it or claim that the report is another lie from the “white power establishment,” or words to that effect. Like good liberals, they are not interested in truth, science, evidence, or history — unless it supports their agenda.

You can all believe what you like, but with all the evidence that proves he isn't some 'innocent little kid' (as some people still try to say)

There have been 7 or 8 people who are all african americans, who agree with what darren wilson said... They have had to hide their identities for the fear of their safety...

I know what I believe, but you can disagree all you like.

Michael Brown was no 'innocent' teenager...

Did he deserve to die? Probably not, but that's not my decision to make.

But when you are a police officer and you have to deal with life threatening ordeals everyday, I can totally understand why you'd shoot someone as self defence.

Shaun 26-11-2014 06:29 PM

Because people running away are always a matter of self-defence.

Autopsy says otherwise...


It's a simple case of a black life being worth less than any other. Happens way too much now to be anything else and it's ridiculous. It's not just an "only in America" thing either tbh.

..the thing that I find hard to believe is that it was in self defence or that Michael Brown was any threat to his safety at all because as he was unarmed, that would have to mean that he was in touching distance so how did he have to shoot him 5 times at that range and then also still miss with some of the shots...it just completely makes no sense at all....

Here is another article that shows there was a fight over the gun...

As I already mentioned, there are 7 or 8 witnesses who testified against Michael Brown and his friends story... I think it's sad that they are too afraid to say who they are, for the fear of being attacked/murdered/whatever

Dont see how that interview reinforces your point. The expert seemed reluctant to come to a conclusion.

..even if there had been a fight over the gun, it wasn't at the time when he was shot and killed though and that's even by Wilson's own testament...so there was no threat to him when he shot Michael Brown...

GiRTh 26-11-2014 07:14 PM

It also doesnt make sense that Brown lunged for the gun. It seems that if he did go for hte gun then it was while the officer was in the car. I dont find it believable that Brown tried to take the gun while the cop was in his car. SO Brown was effectively reaching thru the car window to grab the gun in the cops holster? That sound like bullsh*t to me. I dont find that believable.

Thankfully justice was done and the area can move on knowing the law was upheld

What justice was done? Are you saying that Browns execution in the street was justice for the robbery that the police knew nothing about? Your post doesnt make sense.

SoBig 26-11-2014 07:55 PM

So you feel justice wasn't served. So you decide to loot and destroy your own neighborhoods? I'm sorry but how does that make any sense?

so what do you suggest the community do? The peaceful protests in August were broken up by police in riot gear with weapons that suggested they were going into a war zone. The heavy handed response every time is becoming ridiculous.

So the solution is to act like animals?



That's some fine logic right there.

Well better to act like "animals" towards feeling angry and injustice towards human life than to act like "animals" over pumpkins and lack of beer and over your favourite football team losing.
