Ferguson

I'm sure this isn't the first time you've been told this, but spit it out.

Welp, let me just say this. I understand that blacks have been wronged by whitey since the beginning of time in America. I also understand that the numbers (arrests, sentences, etc) have been greatly disproportionate against blacks when it comes to law enforcement and the judicial system. BUT, Michael Brown is no martyr.

And the gentle giant "Big Mike" had just committed a strong arm robbery minutes earlier.


I remember watching a Youtube video that was shot minutes after the incident. In it, a young man presumably from that community CLEARLY states that Mike Brown turned around and bum rushed the officer.
I heard nary a word about that video in the following weeks.


And at some point, social media just started running with the bullshit stories that Big Mike had his hands up. And then Anonymous got involved and made it even worse.

Big Mike attacked the dude in the store. Credible witnesses say Big Mike attacked the officer in his car. Those same credible witnesses say Big Mike doubled back and bum rushed the officer.


I believe that store video goes a long ways towards Mike Brown's state of mind that day.

I think the Grand Jury got it right.

Well Dorian Johnson is the only witness that said Officer Wilson initiated the contact by grabbing a hold of Big Mike through the car window. The same Dorian Wilson who was an accomplice to the strong arm robbery committed by the gentle giant just minutes earlier. The same Dorian Wilson that lied about everything else that happened that day.

I'm gonna go ahead and side with law enforcement on this one.

Since there was video of that incident, I'd imagine it would be pretty clear if it was self-defense.

The people that are saying if it had gone trial there never would have been all of the aftermath, I find hard to believe though.

Even bad guys have rights.

Let's just say that Big Mike was an angel that day while interacting with Officer Wilson. And let's just say the non-credible witnesses weren't lying. That would mean that Officer Wilson grabbed the 300 lb Mike, pulled him into his car, shot his hand, let him run away a bit, and then when Big Mike turned around and got on the ground with his hands up, Officer Wilson (who had never fired his gun before in the line of duty EVER) decided to execute a defenseless Big Mike, in broad daylight, in the middle of the community.

Logical.

Go on.

Who in the blue hell thought it was a good idea to announce the Grand Jury decision at 8 o'clock at night??!! Did they think everybody would be at home watching Monday Night Football? Was everybody at home until they figured out that Sting wasn't gonna show up on Raw and THAT'S what actually set them off?


Holy flipper fuck. Who is running the show there? It seems as though the prosecutor calls the shots on EVERYTHING. Where's the Governor, the Mayor, the community leaders, the political leaders, etc......?? They pretty much just all defer to the damn prosecutor.

And then I'm watching CNN last night and they got two guys from law enforcement on, and they're going on and on about how they never imagined that what happened on Monday night could have ever happened. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?


What did you think was gonna happen? Actually, it makes you wonder if they knew EXACTLY what would happen.

It's pretty sad to see such incompetence but if the decisions were made strategically, it's downright disgusting.


I mean they weren't even protecting the store that Big Mike robbed. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They got modified tanks rolling down the street because they didn't think anything was gonna happen???

On the flip side however, the "supporters" the "protesters" were no better. Just because a recipe for disaster had been concocted, it doesn't mean that it had to get stuck in the oven and eventually devoured.

The looting and destruction of their own community, on businesses and property that were owned by members of their own community, was disgusting.

Now of course the Twittah was quick with the excuse that the looters were from the "outside" and just capitalizing on the opportunity. I'm sure people like Alex Jones are probably saying they were brought in by government officials.


The mother and father of Mike Brown had called for a peaceful response to the decision. And then the step dad is the first one to yell "Burn this bitch down" after the decision was made.
Not to mention that this family can't get on camera enough for their beloved gentle giant and yet for some reason, Big Mike lived with his grandmother.

For fuck's sake...

Why are you upset now on twitter?
