Michael Brown: A Criminal and a Thug
FrontPage Mag ^ | 08/18/2014 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 08/18/2014 9:30:23 AM PDT by SeekAndFind


As the media-sanctioned rioting, bloodshed and looting continue in Ferguson, Missouri, evidence is emerging that police shooting victim Michael Brown wasn’t the upstanding citizen that many on the Left have claimed him to be.

All of this is happening as mobs have been attacking cops with Molotov cocktails and destroying community infrastructure. Some blacks in the region are reportedly randomly assaulting non-blacks as collective payback for what happened to Brown. Looting and property destruction are rampant. Scores of people have been arrested. Aircraft were ordered to fly at least 3,000 feet over Ferguson airspace after police said their helicopters were fired on from the ground.

A curfew was imposed, and the state’s feckless Democratic governor, Jay Nixon, stripped local police of some of their responsibilities, replacing them with state highway patrolmen. This, predictably, led to more looting of stores and all the things that usually happen when an angry, violent mob is rewarded for its bad behavior.

Through it all, the Left is out in force in Ferguson, trying to make a bad situation worse. The criminal elements of the city have been emboldened by martyrized accounts of Brown, and have carried out a campaign of destruction against the civil order under the banner of “no justice, no peace.”

As happened in the Trayvon Martin case two years ago, the hulking, nearly 300-lbs. Brown has been portrayed as an innocent doe-eyed angel unfairly cut down by evil police as a promising future awaited him. In Brown’s case, he was said to be just days away from heading off to college.

How then could they have afforded to send Big Mike?

You would be amazed at how much free tuition money is available to folks who check the right boxes on application forms.

Well at least that’s what the police here in TN told me.

how did they know about the robbery prior to release of the video while maintaining how innocent Mike was?).

Darion Johnson told them. He was there with Mike when they robbed the Liquor store.

Looks like a trade/assistant/tech school, er, college.

He was not going to college. That has bandied about from day and not true.
He was going to a vocational school to learn how to work on heating and AC systems.
They use college because it sounds better and adds to the
myth.

He was a big gang banger with his gangsta’ rap, and now he is dead. He got a bullet along with all the hate he’d put in his head. It’s been called a tragedy, but maybe a blessing instead. With all the rabble rousing going on, we pretend a gentle giant is dead.

Sweep out the garbage, Black Panthers, Holder and the media while there is still a little truth left. The roused rabble will get tired, and give it a rest.

"Not so, at least not since 1985. That was when the US Supreme Court ruled that deadly force "may not be used unless necessary to prevent the escape and the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the officer or others."

Okay, well, I think it was the summer of '86 when they told me that. So maybe it had changed and they were just not informed.

But again, in this case, Brown had assaulted the officer and used physical force against a store clerk. I think could make the case.

He’s a self serving POS.

If there was a case against the officer, it would have been handed down by now. All this commotion, rioting, pressure, national news.

But the fact it’s not tells us all we need to know. Darren Wilson might be thrown to the wolves, but not because he’s guilty of anything. They’ll trump up charges to get the heat off, just like with King, Duke, Martin . . . I hope he’s lawyered up big time and the cops are behind it. This is total BS. Michael Brown was a thug who thought he was a BFD. Instead he got his.

According to some news sources, he applied here:

Had he been accepted, and/or paid tuition ?

As has been said by many others, the toxicology report is going to be damning yet ignored because those who want blood don’t care what the facts are.

I may be reaching here but these communities are like ISIL. The thugs strongarm the stores taking what they want. The gangs drive by shoot innocent people as an initiation and let’s not be naive, also intimidation. I know they should, but do you honestly think the good citizens of these communities can overcome this thuggery. Most of the time they would be overcoming on their own and coming out now would bring more rage from the thugs. That is what has to be done to change the tide for the black community because evil triumphs when good people do nothing.

Well, actually they are called VATTEROTT EDUCATIONAL CENTERS.

The one nearest to Ferguson is called NORTH PARK.

HOWEVER, they are commonly referred to and listed and advertised as VATTEROTT COLLEGE.

If it can be shown that Brown was charging the officer, then yes, you're right. But because of the distance involved, I don't think it will be a slam-dunk acquittal. It will all depend on the jury.

Regardless, this cop is done for. If he is acquitted by a local jury, he will certainly be tried in federal court for civil rights violations. And Holder will make sure that the cop is found guilty.

Toxicology reports will not be released, nor done as there is no evidence that drugs were involved in this case.

Now, I’m not saying drugs weren’t involved, but you can be damn sure that the FEDS will make sure any info showing otherwise.

I'm sure if you asked Dorian Johnson or any of the other gang members Mike hung out with, they were all 'plannin' to go to college this semester.

: )

So far there is absolutely no proof that Mike even registered or filled out any forms.
