Was this another case of white cops killing a black man?

I don’t know. But what does it matter?

Time to go loot me some toilet paper from the CVS!

When Steven King meets Paul McCartney and shares a plate of special brownies, you get Maxwell Silverhammer. That song tells an incredibly violent story, but is wrapped in the sweet candy of a soft and bouncy beat. Before you know it, your singing in the darkest of choirs, keeping time and harmony.

Michael Brown liked Swisher Sweets. In this crazy world, maybe his family could get an endorsement deal with Swisher Sweets? That family was profiting off of Browns death. They were selling t shirts and other items. The mom and the grandma got in a physical altercation over sake of Michael Brown memorabilia.

It wouldn’t matter even if he was unarmed and the cops shot him execution-style. It’s one thing when a mutant gets shot by the police in a bad neighborhood in the outer boroughs of NYC, but when the lives of NYC’s Manhattan elite are threatened ... well, that is a crime punishable by death.
