Ferguson shooting: What's known now about Michael Brown

Michael Brown, aka "Big Mike," has been described as too "gentle" to play football. But a police report released Friday, and photos of Mike Brown flashing 'gang signs,' paint a different portrait of black teenager fatally shot Saturday, Aug. 9.

Was Michael Brown a "gentle giant," a cigar thief, or a gang member?

It very much appears he had a Hyde side.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s also known that he is now “wood”. Never heard that one before.

Speaking of the famous tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr....

[MeshugeMikey]

I was being horribly facetious...

Didn’t the strong arm heist involve tiparillos? not actually cigars, or maybe they were cigarillos or such, regardless he was under age.

Also, the autopsy report should include any tatts and such found on his body.

Translation: Could dish it out but couldn't take it.

You can’t make sense out of the stupid things that stupid people do.

[HiTech RedNeck]

People have gotten so simplistic in their thinking. One has to manifest as all nasty or all nice. It looked like the nasty side of Brown was strutting around that day and picked a fight it could not win.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And any word about tox tests? Being zonked clear out of his gourd could make it easier for him than otherwise to be that irrational for that prolonged a period of time.

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is one of the strongest proofs of the existence of the devil.

“his mouth wrote a check that his butt couldnt cash”...as they say in the hood

[HiTech RedNeck]

I wonder about the private hells through which so many young people walk — hells which may in fact have been invited, but can manifest weirdly once they are.

[NormsRevenge]

Nothing has been released. No leaked info,, other than the video of his strong arm job.

I feel for the normal folks and business owners who will now endure years of unrest.

And utter disdain for all those interlopers who steal the scene to pimp their causes.

All the usual riff Raff showed up, at least some in the community told them to pack sand.

[HiTech RedNeck]

All sin, ultimately, is the acceptance of the devil’s fundamentally twisted notions. A mystical view of existence is the only one which, in the end, makes sense. There are agendas that began long before we were physically born, and will continue after we die.

They were a type of cigarillo that the users hollow out and fill with pot.

[UCANSEE2]

Based on a week of monitoring, the consensus is that they were SWISHER SWEET WRAPS (called wraps because they are individually wrapped, preserving the 'freshness' so they can be used to roll up a blunt). The Tiparillos and Cigarillos are referred to in black culture slang as 'rellos', or 'blunts'.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There is little or no effort being made to arrive at an overarching truth, which is the biggest shame of all that I can see here. We are living in an age full of sin. It is not always easy to avoid it, and conscious dedication to the Lord is needed in order to see consistent victory.
