When you have to reach back 70 years for a comparative case, it seems to me you've shown that society has changed. Mr. Capehart, by the way, is black, unlike Mr. Farias.

And always be afraid of the fact that folks actually buy this BS.

The civil war will come because of them.

“Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” Was Not Built on a Lie: Ferguson’s message is as powerful as ever.

____________________________________

Did St. Swisher say “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” or did he not?

As we all know the answer, we know then IT WAS BUILT ON A LIE.

As they say... Black LIES Matter.

They reached back that far and still came up goose eggs. Their self-imposed hardline of Wilson’s presumed guilt forecloses on any conclusions that don’t confirm and validate.

Bottom line: No matter how long they examine it, the results will be the same - wrong.

Hmm. 70 years ago. Would have been 1945, if I'm not mistaken.

Which political party was in control of the White House, and every southern state, from Statehouse to county Sheriff, to local constable, back then?

Momar Gaddafi said “Hands Up! Don’t Shoot!” when Sec. of State Hillary Clinton had him (a POW) whacked.

Hands Up, Don’t Shoot DIDN’T HAPPEN!

It was based on a lie as the local and Justice Department investigations showed. Mike Brown got himself shot by his own actions.

And of course we know that these cases were identical in every aspect. Well almost anyway. The cops got convicted 70 years ago, so I must conclude that there was no racism involved within the judicial system back then, whereas now it is rampant.

The “Fake but Deeper Truth” argument just like when Rigberta Menchú, Edward Said, Matthew Shepherd, etc. life stories were exposed as frauds.

“Pants up, don’t loot!,” however, is based on the evidence.

""Hands Up, Don't Shoot" Was Not Built on a Lie"

Well... yes it COMPLETELY was. Here is the guy who MADE UP THAT LIE and told Dorian Johnson to say it.

Who cares what happen 70 years ago? We have multitudes of violent anti white blacks today.

St. Swisher’s hands were not up in a gesture of surrender. He was making a lunge with the intent of taking the police officer to the ground, continuing the scuffle that started inside the police vehicle. Rather than submitting, Michael Brown was trying to disable the officer’s capacity to continue to fire at him.

Lunging with arms raised is very much like the charge of a bear reared to its back feet. Bears do not normally surrender peacefully.

A bullet through the skull is effective at stopping the charge of a bear.

The trouble is, the bear learned nothing from that lesson in manners.
