Do Shooting Lies Matter?

The investigation into the Falcon Heights, MN officer-involved shooting of Philando Castile has taken a sharp turn from the story we first heard in the video his girlfriend shot immediately following the incident.

The terrorists in Dallas were stupidly marching with their hands up , yelling,”Hands up! Don’t shoot,” based on the total lie spread by the Democrat media from the Furguson hoax. They and their mob in the streets prefer to believe the lies to justify their protests and get some Free Stuff when they loot.

Once again Snopes, they fail to understand he wasn’t “wanted” but he closely matched the description of the robber. Way to try and spin and discredit snopes

Snopes is not only lefty, it is committed to advancing the democrat party. Its operative who releases rebuttals to facts stated by candidates was recently outed as a moonbat lefty who has posted some crazy crap over the years. Come see me when your source isn't Snopes, because I have not once ever seen CT found to be providing false information.

You may be leaning right, but when you are on the left, that only puts you in the middle.

6 trackers, 2 ads

I use AdBlock and Blur. Stops any problems from manifesting.
Wouldn’t have realized anything amiss without checking the logs.
Don’t go surfing without them.
Every site I know has something on it. Even get 1 tracker on FR.

Snopes has refuted the Conservative Treehouse version of events, calling it "mostly false". Yep, I know Snopes is a leftie site. But then again I know nothing about the reliability of CT. I think I'll wait for Greta on this one.

Snopes is lie manufacturing Liberal website. You can just look at the link to their story to tell that they are lying.

See what it says?

"http://www.snopes.com/philando-castile-was-not-wanted-for-armed-robbery/"

That's not what Conservative Treehouse said. They said he was stopped for suspicion of being an armed robbery suspect, and if you look at the pictures of the robber photographed by store cameras, he is a dead ringer for Castile.

Short dreadlocks? Check.
Exact same style of eyeglasses? Check.
Mustache? Check.
Chin beard? Check.
Height, build, color? Check.

Again, look at the pictures of Castile, and compare him to the robber. Any reasonable person would see that Castile looked a great deal like the robber, and at this point I am waiting to see if they come up with some evidence that he *IS* the robber.

Conservative Treehouse dropped a subtle hint that the perp in the convenience store video doesn't just resemble Castile but may actually be Castile, based on the shape of his ears. If you look at the video stills, the ears do look awfully similar.

That's what I said. The guy looks very much like the robber, and I am absolutely convinced this course of inquiry needs to be pursued.

Given the Newports, the dreads, the glasses, the facial hair, and the ears, I'm thinking it's the same dude. In which case this story will fit the standard pattern. That is, that it looks terrible at first, but then the victim turns out to be a thug who acted badly.

I'm thinking that Castile may in fact be the robber. I'm pretty sure the cops are seriously looking into this possibility too. It will change everything if he does indeed turn out to be the person responsible for robbing that store at gunpoint.

Have they said if a gun was recovered, and if so, do you suppose it looks like the one in that robbery photograph?

When fifth-column media leftist Lester Holt reported the Minnesota story a few days ago he was almost begging for rioting and attacks on police to occur. Someone familiar with gang signs and codes should check Lester’s hand movements during the broadcast.

I read MN’s CC law and if I’m reading it correctly, it seems that you can carry a weapon loaded or unloaded, concealed or unconcealed anywhere within the vehicle, which I guess would include being on one’s lap? Meaning, it might be frightening to see a gun on a driver’s lap in one state, but not unusual in MN.

Now, I did check out his citation record, 79 of them, so this guy was very, very used to being pulled over. I wonder how many other times he had the weapon in his lap?

I don’t think the ‘taillight’ stuff is relevant. You can’t see your own taillights and it gives the officer an opening to seem disinterested and neutral.

The Newport cigarettes part is interesting, tho, but at the risk of being stereotypical, black menthol smokers tend to Newports or Kools.

Neither Malwarebytes or Kaspersky alerted. Just scanned the entire system with both.

Nada.

No. My SECOPS are current.

What was NOT provided was sufficient info in the text to avoid a cookie-hit from FR to your “Bearing Arms” link.

They get “paid” for any pass-through links. I got sucked into the click-bait.

Folks had better take notice of the Black Lies being perpetuated through the media and unfortunately by some black folks.
Research on your computers. I remember Tawana Brawley The Duke LaCrosse team and the Oakland Fireman that perpetuated a false scenario. Yes Black Lies Matter!

When Philando Castile was pulled over Wednesday night by officers Jeronimo Yanez and Joseph Kauser, purportedly for a broken tail light according to the video account of the aftermath of his being shot and killed by Yanez made by passenger Diamond Reynolds, the officers' real reason for wanting to pull them over and check I.D.s is because they thought he was a robbery suspect, according to scanner audio obtained by KARE 11 NBC TV in Minneapolis.

So says Reason.com

Screw Snopes.

I went to the website. Read the whole article (very lengthy) and the comments afterward.

No problem at all.

I didn’t click through, because I thought I knew the answer to the click, since there were already several threads based on this story already.

This is pure and simply click bait, headline info with no content on purpose.

So you admit you didn't go to the link and see what was there, but you KNOW it had no content.

Do you not see the problem there ?

As has been mentioned, Conservative Treehouse had much the same story (and both were quite lengthy, containing a BUNCH OF CONTENT), yet you are not complaining about other sources like Conservative Treehouse ?

Admittedly this was a 'copycat' source, but most of the media (and especially the MSM) are 'copycat' sources.

Now, if you want to claim that the OP purposely only provided a brief excerpt when he could have provided the whole article (which , again, was VERY LENGTHY, contained several photos and video, which people would complain about how it clogged up FR's bandwidth), then that is another matter.

Recall that, in the Ferguson case, the Department of Justus opposed the release of the convenience store video showing the Gentle Giant roughing up the clerk and stealing cigars and Swisher Sweets.

The feds argued the video would further inflame tensions, but a calming effect is what a logical person would expect (i.e., maybe the Gentle Giant wasn't so gentle). Of course, their real aim was to increase black voter turnout in the upcoming 2014 election.

So... you are saying that when you click on a link here on FR and it takes you to a website, that normally the website does not get a HIT ?

Not if you are worried about bearingarms.com finding out you came from FR. For that you need Referer Control. With Referer Control, you can seem to be coming from the DUmp, Mother Jones, or nowhere at all.

They get “paid” for any pass-through links.

Why do you care if she gets paid for her writings?

But it did give the Minnesota governor a chance to deliver a bit of moral superiority with his speech about how this wouldn’t have happened if the man had been white, and we know it’s racism - what a piece of scum.....

Summed up. Not stopped for broken taillight, cop stopped because suspect matched burglary suspects, and cop provided first aid, counter to the narrative.

Now it is not a bad site, the content is good, and photos along with the tweets are informative. But a small summary backing the “EXPLOSIVE EVIDENCE” would have gotten my click.
