If I owned that convenience store, I’d get the heck out of dodge.
This punk deserved killing. Lots more punks out there deserve the same.
The protestors are blaming the store that got robbed? That’s incredibly stupid, even for that group of people.
For the FIRST time in his life, Michael Brown is RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS.
“Police said there had been no arrests.”
Yeah, that’s part of the problem.
Almost as if their attitude is “it’s okay for jumbo sized thugs to rob stores” now because it’s less trouble.
If these Urban neighbors are still caught in a state of self-delusion, the store owner would be better off just moving to some other town.
Eventually, some thug with a chip on his shoulder will start something, some unnecessary conflict with the store owner. The neighborhood thug knows that this act might make his name ‘go viral!’. Fame or notoriety is all he’s after. Mike Brown’s memory is just an excuse.
That little group of complainers out front probably sees nothing wrong with using the restrooms in that store throughout the day. They dare the store owner to complain or refuse them use of those facilities. Mucho petty B.S.
I wonder how many of these people know that it was proven in the grand jury investigation that michel went in through the cop cars driver’s side window ant tried to take the cops gun? It was proven because the gun went off, struck michel in the hand and the bullet lodged in the door with his blood on it. The msm in this country is a disgrace and is actively trying to rip this country apart.
He should shut down and move out of town.
Yeah, well, some people born with one set of genitals matching their XX or XY chromosomes also think that their birth gender was mis-characterized.
The protesters should think about a small-stature store owner being manhandled by a not-so-gentle thieving giant that was caught on tape was perhaps not a mis-characterization from the victim's POV. Or anybody else with more than half a brain and does not work for the DOJ, HHS, Education, SJWs, etc.
It would be a real shame if some group of rival thugs decided to do a drive by shooting towards the “protesters”.
Hands up! Don’t shoot!” never happened, and these protestors are morons.

TWENTY FIVE TOP QUOTES FROM THE DOJ’S REPORT ON THE MICHAEL BROWN SHOOTING
[01] The evidence, when viewed as a whole, does not support the conclusion that Wilson’s uses of deadly force were “objectively unreasonable” under the Supreme Court’s definition. (Page 5)
[02] when the store clerk tried to stop Brown, Brown used his physical size to stand over him and forcefully shove him away. (Page 6)
[03] Wilson was aware of the theft and had a description of the suspects as he encountered Brown and Witness 101. (Page 6)
[04] Autopsy results and bullet trajectory, skin from Brown’s palm on the outside of the SUV door as well as Brown’s DNA on the inside of the driver’s door corroborate Wilson’s account that during the struggle, Brown used his right hand to grab and attempt to control Wilson’s gun. (Page 6)
[05] there is no credible evidence to disprove Wilson’s account of what occurred inside the SUV. (Page 7)
[06] autopsy results confirm that Wilson did not shoot Brown in the back as he was running away because there were no entrance wounds to Brown’s back. (Page 7)
[07] witnesses who originally stated Brown had his hands up in surrender recanted their original accounts (Page 8)
[08] several witnesses stated that Brown appeared to pose a physical threat to Wilson as he moved toward Wilson. (Page 8)
[09] The physical evidence also establishes that Brown moved forward toward Wilson after he turned around to face him. The physical evidence is corroborated by multiple eyewitnesses. (Page 10)
[10] evidence does not establish that it was unreasonable for Wilson to perceive Brown as a threat while Brown was punching and grabbing him in the SUV and attempting to take his gun. (Page 11)
[11] Wilson’s account is corroborated by physical evidence and that his perception of a threat posed by Brown is corroborated by other eyewitnesses (Page 12)
[12] Wilson’s account was consistent with those results, and consistent with the accounts of other independent eyewitnesses, whose accounts were also consistent with the physical evidence. Wilson’s statements were consistent with each other in all material ways, and would not be subject to effective impeachment for inconsistencies or deviation from the physical evidence.8 Therefore, in analyzing all of the evidence, federal prosecutors found Wilson’s account to be credible. (Page 16)
[13] Witness accounts suggesting that Brown was standing still with his hands raised in an unambiguous signal of surrender when Wilson shot Brown are inconsistent with the physical evidence, are otherwise not credible because of internal inconsistencies, or are not credible because of inconsistencies with other credible evidence. (Page 78)
[14] Multiple credible witnesses corroborate virtually every material aspect of Wilson’s account and are consistent with the physical evidence. (Page 78)
[15] several of these witnesses stated that they would have felt threatened by Brown and would have responded in the same way Wilson did. (Page 82)
[16] there are no witnesses who could testify credibly that Wilson shot Brown while Brown was clearly attempting to surrender. (Page 83)
[17] There is no witness who has stated that Brown had his hands up in surrender whose statement is otherwise consistent with the physical evidence. (Page 83)
[18] The media has widely reported that there is witness testimony that Brown said “don’t shoot” as he held his hands above his head. In fact, our investigation did not reveal any eyewitness who stated that Brown said “don’t shoot.” (Page 83)
[19] Wilson did not know that Brown was not armed at the time he shot him, and had reason to suspect that he might be when Brown reached into the waistband of his pants as he advanced toward Wilson. (Page 84)
[20] Wilson did not have time to determine whether Brown had a gun and was not required to risk being shot himself in order to make a more definitive assessment.
[21] In addition, even assuming that Wilson definitively knew that Brown was not armed, Wilson was aware that Brown had already assaulted him once and attempted to gain control of his gun. (Page 85)
[22] Wilson has a strong argument that he was justified in firing his weapon at Brown as he continued to advance toward him and refuse commands to stop, and the law does not require Wilson to wait until Brown was close enough to physically assault Wilson. (Page 85)
[23] we must avoid substituting our personal notions of proper police procedure for the instantaneous decision of the officer at the scene. We must never allow the theoretical, sanitized world of our imagination to replace the dangerous and complex world that policemen face every day.” (Page 85)
[24] “It may appear, in the calm aftermath, that an officer could have taken a different course, but we do not hold the police to such a demanding standard.” (citing Gardner v. Buerger, 82 F.3d 248, 251 (8th Cir. 1996) (same))). Rather, where, as here, an officer points his gun at a suspect to halt his advance, that suspect should be on notice that “escalation of the situation would result in the use of the firearm.” Estate of Morgan at 498. An officer is permitted to continue firing until the threat is neutralized. See Plumhoff v. Rickard, 134 S.Ct. 2012, 2022 (2014) (“Officers need not stop shooting until the threat has ended”). For all of the reasons stated, Wilson’s conduct in shooting Brown as he advanced on Wilson, and until he fell to the ground, was not objectively unreasonable and thus not a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242. (Page 85)
[25] Given that Wilson’s account is corroborated by physical evidence and that his perception of a threat posed by Brown is corroborated by other eyewitnesses, to include aspects of the testimony of Witness 101, there is no credible evidence that Wilson willfully shot Brown as he was attempting to surrender or was otherwise not posing a threat. (Page 86)
For the reasons set forth above, this matter lacks prosecutive merit and should be closed.
Oh, I get it, they must all have night jobs....
De shoudn’t been sellin’ dem tasty Skittles, yo!
This is such LYING BULLSH&T!..... I want to know where Officer Darren Wilson is so I can send him some cash!

But in recent days, Kanzler said, protest leaders told him that they weren’t interested in going through with the agreement anymore and that the only thing that would resolve the matter was if the store was sold to them. He said formal offers hadn’t been made.
If the owner could get a decent price, he should accept and get out of that town. But I'm fairly sure the protesters 1)would not make a fair offer; 2)could not come up with the money to finance even the 10 cents on the dollar price they likely would propose. The best course is probably to take the insurance money and run when they get around to burning the place down.
BLACKmail. Very prescient term.
