Forget the feral blacks who looted, burned and rioted, we KNOW they are subhuman!!

But about the cop/man shooting. I want to see that the cop had no other choice, but I just don’t see that at all. Too many times lately, in the last few years, the police have attacked people, black, white, no matter. Killed, beaten, etc. I just am not sure this isn’t another one of those cases. I know my words are not popular here, but I must speak up.

I agree with you that there is a real problem in law enforcement. But the one thing I can say with certainty is this: the media and the race pimps are never right. Their track record is abysmal, and invariably, when the full story comes out, we find that they were either dupes, or lying, depending. The other thing I can say with certainty is that when the nation does follow a real incident of police misconduct, it will be because conservatives, not the idiot left, or the GOPe types, lead the fight against it. And the left will take their usual position -- on the wrong side.

"A dead son is a dead son."

Yes it must be painful for his family - working so hard to raise a skilled criminal and expert pothead, only to lose him at the point of his prime robbing potential.

I'm sure his father will be particularly devastated, as soon as they find out who and where he is.

I know. It’s hard. My son was killed in a motorcycle accident 7 years ago. It’s so hard no matter how they die, no matter if they were a good son or not. Still your precious child. My son was well, less of many things than a parent would choose, shall we say.

I’m struggling to believe ANYONE in this scenario, but I pity the parents. Lots to accept all at once.

And by the way, my son’s father had left me too. I was young, stupid and I chose poorly. Are you going to rejoice over my son’s death as well???
Oh God. Let me tell you, you never get over it.

Ferguson Market & Liquor is next to the McDonalds. 2-3 blocks south of the QT on the west side of the road.

The Looter tried to burn it this morning. So much for a night of “Peace and Tranquility” in the hood.

Good thing the Highway patrol “future AA Governor” held hands and sang Kumbaya with the protestors. A lot of good that did.

Eddie Murphy has a word for them. And we All know what that word is. When will the first Black Person say it out loud? I know many are thinking it and saying it in private. Where is V Stiviano and her recorder, now?

Your father probably told you to “not try to grab a cops gun” at an early age, and you never did.

Such a simple rule to live by....

I don’t think Michael Brown was ever told this and if he was, he didn’t listen. By the way he grabbed the shopowner by the neck and then threatened him, it appears MB didn’t respect his elders and didn’t listen to them when they told him to do the “right thing”.

Was the little Pakistani immigrant “the man” keeping MB down?

2-3 blocks. Then how did the owner know they were going to the QT?

They said up towards the QT. QT’s are a major landmark.

They were likely already past the mcDonalds and crossing the street (the QT is on the east side of Florrisant)

Other shops along the way are nail salons, beauty supply and check cashing. Its likely Pakistani shop owners don’t frequent those, but do get gas at the QT.

I'm sorry to hear about your son, but whatever his personal shortcomings, I doubt he was choking a man he robbed ten minutes before he died.

Your choice of words is odd and accusatory: I am not "rejoicing" over the death of Michael Brown - I am simply untroubled by it.

And my point is that fathers who abandon their sons are rarely concerned about their deaths - they have already treated those sons as if they did not exist.

The people who are rioting and looting in the street aren't mourning the death of a loved one. They are celebrating their love of rioting and looting.

How did we get to the rioters? Those subhuman, thieving, monsters.

I thought we were talking about the man’s parents. sigh. I’ll go back and reread the posts. I got lost somewhere.
