It's a lot like Trayvon, the racial grievance industry jumped all over the case purely on initial impressions, and then when it came out that Trayvon initiated the assault on Zimmerman and went for his gun, well, they already had too much invested in the meme, so the truth got tossed aside. To this day, liberals blame Zimmerman, Stand Your Ground which wasn't even invoked, racist cops, concealed carry, everything and everyone except Trayvon, who is the one person who could have prevented the situation by acting like a normal law-abiding person.
Heck, he didn't even have to do THAT. He'd evaded detection, and chose to administer a beating. IOW, he could have broken all sorts of laws, and still avoided being shot, just by refraining from initiating violence.
I wonder if Eugene Robinson bothered to ask the law abiding folks that Brown came in contact with how they viewed Brown and his peers over the past year, uh, 13 months?
