“Brown then reportedly “grabbed [an intervening bystander] by the shirt and forcefully pushed him back into a display rack.”

First I heard of that. I thought it was the store owner/clerk who Brown intimidated.

QuikTrip is a large chain, unlike 7-11 I don’t think they franchise.

I agree, I think if the video had been released the very next day the media would have seen what utter fools they were to even report on this..the media went from making Brown their little folk hero to now realizing this is another dud

There are still millions of people that think Trayvon was a choir boy and that Zimmerman is chapter president of his local neo-Nazi party group.

Investigations take time. You just can't instantly release stuff like that. The real question is why can't everybody (especially the media) wait until the facts are established to decide if they want to get hysterical or not.

Maybe getting all their ducks in a row before any announcement. Being 99% right is equal to being 100% wrong if the media sees you as the enemy.

‘Thuggish bully’ doesn’t sound as good as ‘gentle giant’.
And if true that he struggled with the policeman, this sounds like ‘Treyvon II’, but even weaker.
I wonder how many gentle sons of Obama will shoot one another this weekend in Chicago. The body count has risen, along with kills as the summer passes.
Maybe Reverends Dee and Dumb could preach to street gangs.
Oh yeah, that won’t work: Jesse admits he crosses the street if he sees young black men coming down the sidewalk.
Hypocrite.

I’m so tired of this. All these sources fail to mention that before he was ruthlessly gunned down by a rogue cop, this poor kid was an altar boy and sang in his church choir.

AND he was an honors student headed for college on a basketball scholarship and a star on several high school sports teams.

More than that, he spent his spare time tutoring mentally challenged kids and heading up food drives for the less fortunate - when he wasn’t busy as an Eagle Scout.

His execution-style slaying speaks volumes about the oppression of Blacks and the stilted nature of race relations in America.

You are correct. QuikTrip is a privately held, employee owned company. It's a great business, but unfortunately the only way to buy stock is to work for them.

Watching the media and the race pimps try to spin this latest revelation after 5 days of pushing what now proves to be a false narrative is far more entertaining than if "all the facts" had been released immediately.

They look like a bunch of idiots.........

with CNN's Don Lemon and Wolfe Blitzer leading the parade.

Yes, I was being sarcastic.

Maybe I should have said so outright.

Sounds more like George Zimmerman than Michael Brown.

Especially the media?

They are expected to stoke the flames.

Long term FReepers on the other hand? Credibility is going to take a while to stabilize above water.
