Wouldn't want to besmirch his character by insinuating he was one of those evil gun owners.

That will make no difference. This case, the incident that Officer Wilson was involved in, the George Zimmerman case, all now have one thing in common. The true facts of these cases no longer matter. The lies put out by the media, have now been perceived by the masses as facts or truth. Thus perception , to them has become reality.

The media has accomplished their assigned task of destroying America well. By their lies, they have convinced the law enforcement agencies that the general public, whom they were created to protect and help, are their sworn enemies, waiting to kill them at the first opportunity. The police have reacted as expected and now the general public distrusts the police. And their attitude toward police tactics is changing from disapproval to hatred.

The same thing happened with race relations. The media has for the last 60years at least, brainwashed the Blacks about how the whites have mistreated them, held them back, and misused them and how evil the white man is. The Blacks are believing this. This was at the direction of their master, the white controlled Democrat Political Party.

therefore, at this point in time, the truth will have no effect upon the majority of Blacks. It does not matter. The media narrative so deeply ingrained into their brains the truth cannot penetrate.

If it was on black bread it’d be much easier to mistake that for the real thing.

When someone fires a gun, gunshot residue will be found on the flesh and clothing of the person who fired the gun.

If a person is shot at a close distance, there will be a "contact wound" and "stippling" (powder tattoing) on the flesh. Here is an example of a contact wound.

I always thought holding up your pants with your other hand while running and shooting was the primary factor.

...insinuating he was one of those evil gun owners...

I would say gun possessor is more accurate. No one has said that he purchased the gun.

My guess is that he did not, as he is accused of tossing one when being chased by police earlier in summer.

It won’t matter. The riots are already well planned.
