You know folks, I don’t like to see some kid wind up like Brown, but at what point in his life was he expected to start taking ownership for his actions?
That’s the real crying shame here. It isn’t that brown was taken out, because whether people understand it or not, he asked for what he got.
The crying shame is that all the young black men who review this case through the eyes of a black, will fail to miss the lesson that it matters what you do in these circumstances. It matters if you apply yourself, and live a better life than Brown.
These kids are told they have no chance. The black leaders are running with that right now. They are wrong, but the kids don’t know it.
Any kid can make it in this nation, if they apply themselves. Lying to them, making people like Brown their hero, this is very destructive. It will ruin many a kid.
There’s the real crying shame!
If Brown were seen for what he was, it might cause other young men to avoid that life style. Now the lesson is completely short circuited but the media and black leaders.
No generation of any race, has been less well serve than blacks by their leaders.
I will tell you, whites are coming in a close second in the last couple of decades. Our leaders are selling us out.

Full tox report may prove interesting. Brown’s marijuana use is known, but he may have been using it in conjunction with PCP. It’s known on the street as “getting wet.” It can cause hallucinations and give a feeling of superhuman strength, invulnerability, or insensitivity to harm.

Friends have released this photo of Micheal Brown 48 hours before he was shot and partially eaten by confirmed Nazi member Cop Wilson (AKA Adolf)...

What a shame. If it weren’t for that cop he’d have finished his thesis on Unified Field Theory and we’d all be riding in flying cars by now.

As if Holder and Nixon would ever let that come out.

No generation of any race, has been less well serve than blacks by their leaders.
The fact that someone has convinced them that they need black "leaders" is a big part of the problem. They don't think of themselves as Americans anymore which is sad and destructive.

How do you like this, now they are going the Civil right route just like Trayvon. The right to rob a store and attack a cop is equal to Civil rights in the 1960s.

Mr. Brown showed a rebellious streak. One time, his mother gave him her A.T.M. card so he could buy shoes, said Mr. Browns friend Brandon Lewis. Mr. Brown bought himself a PlayStation console. His mother made him give the system to his brother. Is this saying, Brown bought a PlayStation...and his parents made him give it to Brown's brother? What kind of punishment is that? "Here...you effectively stole this. We're not going to return it...that might show you you should feel bad. Instead, your BROTHER gets a free PlayStation you can uses too. THAT will show you!"
Maybe his parents will give his brother the cigars Brown stole from the convenience store.

At that exact age I was in my last weeks of basic combat training at Ft Leonard Wood and about to depart for advanced individual training at Ft Huachuca, then on to Korea.

The Times is pulling out all the stops. Normally they would consider a newfound interest in the Bible to be a sign of instability or craziness.
