It’s been reported that one of Brown’s last FB posts suggested that he planned on being a martyr for some bigger cause that day. If so, he could very well have been literally ASKING to be killed.
Heres a little background that I posted on another thread, referring to one of Browns last FB posts, where he made a comment implying that he was going to be a martyr for a cause:
Heres that article: http://freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://clashdaily.com/2014/08/michael-brown-case-suddenly-blows-wide-open-likely-slam-dunk-favor-police/
And heres the FB quote:
If I leave this earth today, at least youll know I care about others more than I cared about my damn self.
Heres another link that had information/comments from his FB when it was till viewable: http://charlestonthuglife.net/2014/08/14/what-a-sham/ Sounds like his friends were big on the violence stuff as a way to honor his death.
This is the FB link but you have to be a friend to see the comments now: https://www.facebook.com/Mikestlboii
Heres a link with a looter saying something about the revolution. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-11/ferguson-stlouis-violence-continues-protesters-warn-revolution-wont-be-televised
Cawws comment about what all was going on (found at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3193375/posts?page=130#130 I have no idea what the Anabaptist comment is about. Can you clarify that, caww?): An alert was put out early on that the Black Panthers were there and the leader was inciting violence. Also the Anabaptists had their thing going on with starting fires the Anonymous people were trying to put out. If these characters havent gone home theyll continue to use this for their own purposes to incite trouble and draw attention....meanwhile the family will continue to solicit for funds along with their attorney and his Pr machine.
The headline in any news story concerning this info should be “Brown was not shot from behind”
Of course, that info is paragraphs down with a headline of “Shot 6 times”

I believe far to much is being read into this line.
Sounds like more of a line from a poem or such or even a ‘rap song’ than the ramblings of a teen ager - Black or White.
I am sure that someone can go back through ALL the postings of us on here and with good, select, editing - can come up with outlandish statements - if taken way out of context or omitting lead in and finish up lines.
When I first saw it, I was reminded of the ‘old prayer’ that children used - “If I die before I wake...etc...” is more of a catch all than figuring you were going to do before dawn.
Like the kid (eye witness??/Accomplice) and his ‘eloquent story’ of the shooting.... When the SHTF, the kid was quick to not only change HIS story, but throw ALL the blame on the ‘dead partner’.... That is definitely CYA 101 - blame the dead guy.
Kind of like Judge Judy questioning the ‘victim’ of a car keying...
“what did she say”
“I am going to scratch your paint and cost you money”
JJ “No, she didn’t say that - WHAT DID SHE SAY”
“I am going to F-— you ride up”.
“Thank you”....etc...etc
