Was DeAndre Joshua Murdered For Testifying In The Michael Brown Shooting Case?
Market Daily News ^ | 12/01/2014 | Paul Joseph Watson

Questions are swirling over the unexplained murder of DeAndre Joshua, found dead in his car on Tuesday morning, with some speculating that the 20-year-old may have been the victim of a retribution killing for testifying in front of the grand jury in the Michael Brown shooting case.

Joshua was found dead inside a parked car near Ferguson’s Canfield Green Apartments around 9 a.m. Tuesday, just two blocks from where Brown was gunned down by Officer Darren Wilson. According to one resident, four individuals were overheard discussing plans to kill somebody on Monday night.

The New York Daily News reports that Joshua’s family is, “positive his death is tied to the demonstrations over a grand jury’s decision not to indict Michael Brown’s killer.”

Joshua was described as a “good kid” who was not into drugs and had a steady job.

“DeAndre Joshua, 20, fits the social profile of an eye-witness who gave a police/FBI statement and testified before the Grand Jury in the Mike Brown shooting case,” writes the Conservative Treehouse blog. “He was an employed black male, with no history of drug use or illicit behavior. He was also a friend of Dorian Johnson who is currently under protection.”

A Facebook post by Johnson, who was with Michael Brown at the time of the shooting, appears to confirm that the two knew each other.

The blog also claims that many witnesses who gave testimony to the grand jury which confirmed Officer Wilson’s version of events “were threatened by the local Canfield Greens community.”

This is confirmed by police reports (page 20) which include interviews with residents such as one female eyewitness who said she was apprehensive in talking to detectives “for fear of retaliation.”

“While officials would not say if Joshua was in fact, a witness to the shooting death of Michael Brown, nor if he actually provided testimony to the grand jury which ultimately cleared Officer Darren Wilson of any wrongdoing in the shooting, his murder does point to a retribution-type killing,” reports UFP News.

In a separate incident linked to unrest in Ferguson, two FBI agents were shot after they responded to a situation where a person had been barricaded inside a home. FBI agents were sent to Ferguson in advance of the grand jury decision in part to “assist with threats to federal employees.”

Was Joshua the victim of a retribution-style killing for giving testimony which absolved Officer Darren Wilson of murder? The case remains unexplained, but the fact that someone living a stone’s throw away from where Brown was killed, in addition to being a friend of Dorian Johnson, being the only fatality after two nights of violence, suggests that Joshua may not merely have been the victim of a random act.

This is mob mentality stuff .. we saw this increasing after the 2000 election, and .. it’s never stopped.

Now, we have an admin who believes it’s time to target anybody who supports anything to do with “white”.

Disgusting behavior.

And .. I believe our own govt is stoking this mess in Ferguson .. HOPING IT WILL SPRING UP EVERYWHERE. In fact, I can’t help but wonder what those meetings are all about in the WH today ..?? Is the admin going to push the envelope even further ..?? I sure hope not, because I’m not sure what the back-lash will be .. and I don’t want America going down that path.

Wow, just wow.

Can you imagine how insane the MSM would be if this alleged witness had supported their side, and not the police officer's side? This would be breaking news, and they would be demanding action by the FBI, the White House, etc., etc.

MSM? ptui.

Why isn’t this being investigated by their so-called crack reporters and being left to obscurity?

An accelerant was used to try to qet his body to burn, so this was a very deliberate, pre-planned murder.

If he was killed for tellinq the truth, it’s a real shame that one of the few honest people in this story had the couraqe to speak truth in spite of his “friends” and they killed him for it.

Remember, the end goal is to have a justification for using the deadly force of the State to kill those that oppose the left.

Agitation to conflict is the means to that end.

The sheriff of Milwaukee said he thinks Obama qave his “let’s be non-violent” speech as a wink and a nod to tell the thuqs to “stay the course”.

Premeditated murder, exactly.

There are some rumors that Brown has a sealed 2nd Deg Murder charge from juvenilehood.

If true, that secret must be protected at all costs.

Ya. That would be the right thing to do considering that it might be retaliation for testifying. Something that the mafia would do.

Pretty serious stuff; actually the worst.

And accordinq to the testimony of the neiqhbor who called the cops, premeditated by people who were also planninq to loot that niqht.

Animals.

The system that created these animals needs to be fixed. I suspect it has a lot to do with welfare and druqs. And a society that dehumanizes Blacks by qivinq them a “free pass” to be animals.

The Bosnian man who was killed with a hammer makes me sick to my stomach. You’d think we were in Kenya or somethinq, where Obama’s cousin (that Obama qave a million dollars in campaiqn funds) contracted with the Islamists to riot if he didn’t win the election in Dec of 2007...

Obama’s “America”.

That’s a good point about his cousin and the advice to riot. It tells how this man’s mind works. I remember.

Over the weekend, I put together two things Obama said which I believed were clues to the violence being unleashed.

The first statement was the “stay the course” comment .. and it is my belief that this was possibly said to those agitators who were waiting in hotels and motels for the signal to begin the destruction.

We know a lot of these groups showed up about a week or so before the verdict came down .. and it was an indication they were waiting for some signal to commence.

The second statement was the word “calm” .. because right after Obama said that, the whole thing erupted and the fires began burning.

While some people might not believe a President would do such a thing .. they need only remember where Obama came from .. the streets of Chicago .. and his family of radical believers. And .. Obama’s chief job was a “Community Organizer” .. which was what happened in Ferguson.

Sorry, it’s just too coincidental to be a coincidence to me.

Louis Farrakhan - the man who says he will tear this “Qod damned” country apart - declared Obama to be the Messiah.

Why are either of those men allowed to be anywhere but Qitmo riqht now?
