That is not a picture of police officer Darren Wilson.
We can not spread mis-information. The truth matters.

this is the focal point where his entire rant falls apart.
“Steins and Chavezs primary intent is to assert that Michael Brown and Darren Wilson, the police officer were equally armed that Browns size and weight was a weapon as equal in its ability to cause harm as the bullets Darren Wilson carried in his gun and fired at Brown from a distance of more than thirty feet.”
To state 2 people are armed does not equate to being equally armed any more than me having money and Warren Buffett having money. We may both have it but not in equal amounts. Either the author is simply playing the race game fro profit or he’s ignorant for making that statement.

“criminalizing the person who was killed”
especially when he committed a crime. They want to be all classified under social justice so the victimized “class issued” (new name for racism) blacks can now comitt crimes and have an excuse for it thereby excusing them from prosecution.

That’s not Darren Wilson. It was debunked as soon as it came out.

"how many black people...killed"
I don't know how long it took this clown to write this article, but if it took him one whole day, about twenty black males were shot and killed by other black males in that time span. Plus one or two innocent black children or adults.
These people are crazy. There is no arguing rationally with them...they are incapable of being reasoned with.

Bizarro World post of the day. This idiot has to know the biggest physical threat to any black person is another black person...by far.

Don’t tell me that some near to 300#, 6-4” “Street Rat”, high on drugs isn’t a “dangerous weapon”, I’m not buying it.
An old western fact, “He needed killin”.

If your in a brawl and the other guys weighs 100 lbs. more than you, or is six inches taller, size could matter. Being a strong armed robber or murderer does matter.

The author uses the phrase
"perverse distortion." He needs to be schooled on its meaning. Here is the "innocent" Michael Brown in his own words and photos from his Instagram account profile (

I tire of statements like “stealing cigars/jaywalking is not a capital offense” and “some say he deserved to be killed...” No serious person has said these things. Brown was not killed for stealing, and it is not that he “deserved” to die. It is simply a matter of self-defense. The officer was entitled to defend himself, using lethal force if necessary. He was not required to forego the weapons issued to him and fight Brown in hand-to-hand combat, risking the use of his own gun against him.
Sheesh!

I'm thankful white people don't stand with white thugs just because they're white.
Can anyone here imagine seeing a video of a young white criminal strong arming a clerk in a store (after robbing the store...) AND then being outraged the criminal was called a thug? It would NEVER happen. What a burden it must be to be black...

By the way, how many black people were killed by other black people this weekend in Chicago? With impunity? More black people were killed in Chicago by OTHER BLACKS THIS YEAR than the sum total of ALL black deaths caused by lynchings from the beginning of the Civil War to the present time.

The thing that mystifies me the most is the so called victims the race baiters chose to make a stand on. Any reasonable person who just considers the facts in these cases can see that Travon Martin and Michael Brown were, to say the least, were no angels. Thugish is a much better description and yet they are put out there as innocent victims. Originally Michael browns parents tried to say he was a great kid on his way to college....the infamous video lay waste to that scenario. If..there are truly innocent black children being routinely killed why aren't they ever the ones held up as example. Martin and Brown appear to be thuggish bullies who tried their bully tactics once to often and paid for it with their lives!!!

I do not carry a weapon around to allow some thug to flail away. I'm sorry...if one comes at me and I sense he wants to do bodily harm I intend to shoot him until he is down or I run out of bullets. If I go to jail then so be it.

In every argument this author makes, racism is his guiding light. He is so racially biased he needs to be ignored.
IMO, black Americans are overwhelmingly more racist than whites.

after being stopped while walking in the middle of the street, Who's simplifying now?
To the author, he was "walking in the middle of the street." To me, he was fleeing the scene of a stron-arm robbery.
The former act cannot be disconnected from the latter, as much as the author would like to do so.
