Following the publication of my column on Sunday, two more leaks have come out which further undercut the media meme on the shooting in Ferguson, Mo.
The police department indicates it has 12 eyewitnesses to the shooting who confirm officer Wilson's account, and Wilson has an eye orbital fracture which is also consistent with his claim that Brown reached into the police car and attacked him. We also have been informed from the Brown family's pathologist that marijuana was found in Brown's body. There may be more drugs, as the toxicology report is not due in for weeks.(Apparently the drug of choice there is swisher cigarillos (which we see Brown stealing) hollowed out, filled with marijuana and dipped in PCP before smoking. We do not know if Brown did have PCP in his body, but if he did the 300 pounder would have been likely very dangerous.
We are seeing two sides to this story, not because of any great work by the media, which once again shamefully played into the "It's Always Selma" fairytale of the race hustlers. No- -- it is the honest , gutsy work of the Ferguson chief of police and officers that it letting the truth of the matter come to light.
Thomas Lipscomb sees it as I do and has said this (which he has given me permission to quote in full).
I am in full agreement with his observations following Legal Insurrection's warning on the unreliability of eyewitness testimony:
First of all the key problem here is strictly limited to the very few witnesses who will speak out and this is a VERY small list precisely because of the nonjudicial sentence carried out as scribbled by locals on the wall of the burnt out convenience store “snitches get stitches.”

Snitches get stitches, eh? Well, in my opinion, looters should get lashes, a la Passion Of The Christ.
“Looters get lead” would be way better and do more to curtail the problem.
The “Mob” is not interested in the facts at all. It reminds me of the old Monty Python “Holy Grail” scene where the mob wants to burn the witch.
“BURN her”! “Burn her”! they shouted.
The same holds true for the Mob in Mo. but this time, they are backed up by the Federal Lackeys.
There could only be one reason the neighborhood hasn’t been cordoned off and outsiders kept out. That would be a desire for the chaos to continue and escalate.
End of story.
The only fact that matters.
Another fact, which doesn't really matter but which is interesting to note: Despite multiple media inquiries, no one has been able to find out which college Michael Brown was supposedly enrolled in.
I guess that enrollment must have gotten lost in the mail, like Sean Bell's marriage license.
The media has played a major role in the destruction, damage and injury in this town all for the sake of ratings. Soon they will leave to go back to their lives and this town and businesses will be left to pick up what ever pieces are left.
I have yet to see an article willing to state that Michael Brown was a thug and criticize how he was brought up. Did his parents live up to their parental responsibilities? What morals if any was he taught? What schools did he attend? Was he loved at home and taught social graces? The media will avoid the real cause of young black men killing and getting killed. All too frequently they are born out of wedlock or even a shared parental unit. In many cases their birth represents a source of income and free stuff. Did they learn anything in school or was school just a misnomer for baby sitting. Did they graduate or were they left to the street school of hard knocks? Who was their role model? Were they taught to work or scheme? Many years ago I worked in a prison. Reading pre-sentencing reports was a window into what was, and I suspect still is, a major problem with blacks in America. Sadly our politicians continue to support this lifestyle and even encourage it. It’s time for blacks to accept responsibility, get off their “ you owe me” attitude, and raise their race to its’ true potential. I will welcome the day when blacks in general conduct themselves as most of my black friends do.
He will regret those statements very soon.
Don’t worry, Jesse Jackson will come to town to offer up “Don’t rush to judgment” and “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”.
How about, Looters get laid...in the morgue.
Like Angela Corey did?
Remember the tale about Trayvon Martin being an honors student? Seems that it turned out that he was expelled, not honored.
Paging Bill Cosby! Although, I think he's being marginalized by the mass media.
I would be willing to bet that someone has video of the entire event and maybe too afraid to come forward with it.
“That is Brown’s companion, the indicted felon Dorian Johnson who was at the robbery of the convenience store and came up with the “hands raised” meme which has caused so much trouble and apparently has unnamed media-credentialed “witnesses” (USA TODAY) saying they saw too.”
It is interesting to note that Dorian Johnson was interviewed by the media with his attorney that said Johnson couldn’t answer any questions because he is listed as a FEDERAL witness, as such he won’t be charged with any crimes.
Let that sink in. He has been given some sort of immunity by Holder in exchange for saying what they want him to say!
It doesn’t matter. The Sharpton gang (Holder, 0bama, etc) believe the first reports along with the MSM. It’s been tried in the media and case closed.
