Michael Brown: A Criminal and a Thug

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.

What difference, at this time, does it make?

[Arcy]

His parents aren’t taking any responsibility for how their son was raised.

I’m guessing he was on PCP or something....maybe Marijuana, and that’s why they are doing a FEDERAL AUTOPSY, so they can CONTROL what info gets out there!!

Fox had some black area homicide detective on and he said he was talking with some of the “protesters” (ie thugs)

They wanted an immediate arrest

They demanded the resignation of the white police chief

And they “wanted jobs”

Now who says this is really about Michael Thug and not about self interest?

“Jobs”? Really guys? lol

[Biggirl]

The video has gone viral bigtime!

[Slyfox]

They are not letting their crisis go to waste.

[MeshugeMikey]

not to worry Obie has it ALL under control

[Blood of Tyrants]

Live by the thug culture, die by the thug culture.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Why should they take responsibility now? They sure didn’t take responsibility to raise him with morals when he was younger and more impressionable.

Haha...nice!

What has the democratic governor, who is all up the backside of the looters, done to help the jobs situation in this area? He is wanting to blame the police and white America, so, what has he done in his position as governor to help his constituents?

If Brown was fleeing an officer, who has warned him to stop, the officer would be justified even if he shot him in the back. Not saying Brown was shot in the back, but even if he was, the officer would have been justified. The first autopsy said there were no shots in the back.

I don’t know about Missouri, but in Tennessee if someone commits a crime and a citizen or a cop tries to apprehend them, they are authorized to use whatever force is necessary to bring them to justice, including deadly force.

That doesn’t mean that you can summarily execute someone, without warning while trying to apprehend. But it does mean that if a perp robs a store or assaults a cop and then runs, and that cop issues a warning to freeze, that cop would have the right to shoot to stop the fleeing suspect.

"He was just getting his life turned around."

"He was getting ready to go to college."

"He was an aspiring young rapper."

"He was looking forward to marrying his baby-mama."

Take your pick.....

Convienence store theft of Swisher Sweets, aka blunts, should sound familiar. That’s what Trayvon had someone purchase for him because he was underage. Rush just explained how tobacco is removed and marijuana put in .. Just a coincidence???

[P-Marlowe]

Criminal and Thug. Just like the rioters who are burning the town to the ground in celebration of the life of one of their fellow travelers.

According to his teacher, he was better than a year behind in his studies and had to be worked with in order to graduate. Does anybody know to what college he was heading off to in a few days as had been said? With those kind of marks, I have a problem with the statement ‘he was heading off to college’.
