Michael Brown: typical teenager who died tragically, or dangerous thug who invited trouble?
Did you know Michael Brown was a killer?
Did you know he was a devoted gang member with an extensive juvenile record who routinely robbed convenience stores and committed acts of mayhem? And did you know that when Officer Darren Wilson shot Brown, he wasn’t using unjustified force, he was defending his life? The 6-foot-4, 300-pound 18-year-old fractured Wilson’s eye socket while reaching for his gun, and was killed while charging at Wilson to land another blow.
If this sounds suspect—if it sounds almost unbelievable—then your head is in the right place. Nothing in this narrative is true. Racist innuendo aside, there’s no evidence Brown was a violent gang member, nor is there evidence of any serious wrongdoing—as a juvenile, Brown was never convicted of a felony nor was he facing charges as an adult. And while Wilson was taken to the hospital after his encounter with Brown, he didn’t suffer serious injuries—the fractured eye socket is a myth.
But if you read websites like the Independent Journal Review, dive into far-right media, or explore the world of Darren Wilson support pages, you’ll find plenty of people who buy the fantasy. They reject the mainstream picture of Brown: A typical teenager, struggling to carve an identity and a life out of his beliefs, actions, and missteps. In their minds Brown was a budding criminal, and Wilson a hero. Or, as one Wilson supporter said during a demonstration for the officer, “We’ll all see this in the end that it was a good shooting. You know, it was a good kill.”
We know why the Brown family was quick to give a loving portrait of Michael....

Maybe “Baba Bouie” was already taken.
GG *did* throw that liquor store clerk around like a rag doll...mere minutes before his death.GG *did* have drugs in his system...the family’s own pathologist has confirmed this.GG was *not* shot in he back,as was originally claimed.The family’s pathologist has confirmed this.There are reports that the cop suffered substantial injuries during the incident.We *will* eventually discover how accurate these reports are.There are reports that GG had a *substantial* criminal record as a juvenile.This nation’s race pimps will do their best to prevent release of any such reports.Nobody can be sure at this time how successful they’ll be in this effort.

He’s just mad at the world because his mother name him “Jamelle”.
Slate has effectively become a comedy site
Sure thing, Jaaamelle
“struggling to carve an identity and a life out of his beliefs”
If I am ever hauled before a judge for robbing a convenience store, I must remember to tell him I was struggling to carve out my identity!
LMAO Straight from the liberal crack pipe!
25 year old snot-nosed kid who is pretending to be a journalist/writer. I’m sure his wisdom and experience is as vast as his pea brain.
Yawn.
Yawn.
Full correct title: New Racism-1st deny racism in blacks exists. Then smear reputation of any white who disagrees
Especially realizing the special vulnerability of a person who goes by "Wyrd bið ful aræd".
It is impossible for you to know who is in hell.
Of course they miss these little inconvenient factoids. It does not fit their narrative, that blacks can't be racists because they don't have the power. Sorry to say, I think they will never stop, and this is going to get infinitely worse, and never get better. I am now fully convinced that either our side ceases to exist, or it leads to a civil war, where their side is not the only side that is fighting, like the way it is now. Unfortunately, I honestly feel those are the only two options available to us, though I wish we could all live peacefully. Their side won't let that happen.
Excuse me? Where is the BARF ALERT?
Slate magazine, all the hard-hitting liberal news that is unfit to print. Objective, unbiased, factual? horse$hit!
same old accuse your enemy of what you are doing.
So the armed robbery for which sweet boy Brown was arrested last year was fiction?
