Dorian Johnson, the friend of Mike Brown who started the false rumors that Brown was killed with his hands ups surrendering to police, was killed Sunday in Ferguson, Missouri.

Mike Brown’s friend Dorian Johnson speaking with reporters after Brown’s shooting death in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014. Johnson was with Michael Brown the day he was shot dead in Ferguson.

Dorian Johnson was also with Brown earlier when Brown strong-armed a convenience store owner and walked out with items he stole from the store.

BTTT

The bald-faced lie that spawned the criminal enterprise known as BLM. That and the Trayvon Martin calumny.

Net gain for our society. Glad he’s no longer breathing.

As I remember Rush mockingly referred to Michael Brown as the “gentle giant”.

Surprised he hasn’t gotten a statue yet.

When Bernard Goetz shot those thugs on that train years ago, all but one went on to a life of violent crime.

The one that didn't had been paralyzed by Goetz's bullet, and *COULD NOT* go on to a life of crime.

Odds are that he would have but for that bullet into his spine.

Nah. The idiot left is too busy working on a tribute to their current “chosen one” martyr, Garcia. It’s amazing how fast their attention pivots from old, dead martyrs (gotta keep the movement moving, ya know). Light speed doesn’t even begin to describe it.

This is true. DJ and the Gentle Giant commited what? 5 or 6 crimes before they encountered the Policeman that day? Dorian should have been arrested and placed in prison for stuff like accomplice in Strong Armed Robbery of the box of Blunts and later for lying about shooting Big Mike in the back and causing all the Ferguson riots. Might still be alive.

(**If anyone wonders about this search for Eric Holder the U.S. AG's report on the Ferguson riots that exonerated the policeman...page 75 or thereabouts. Big Mikes Father of course, should have been jailed for incitement to riot, but that wasn't going to happen with Eric the Gunrunning AG around.)

Inevitable.

Incredible how the lie "hands up don't shoot" spread across the media, the false narrative embedded in the public's conscious before it was all exposed as a lie. Even then, it kept on going...

CNN:

[pepsi_junkie]

I loved how lefties moaned that Goetz was "hunting" those "kids". Hunting them ... by just being a passenger on a subway. "But he rode that train several times! He knew he'd get in trouble!" Ah. So you admit YOUR government has failed and we are all just meant to accept fear and intimidation now as facts of life in the city.

The dems do this all the time .... elevate criminals above the citizens until a breaking point is reached and the citizens toss them out and a new guy fixes it ... and then they pretend to be tough guys and get back in and ruin it all again the same exact way. Wash ... Rinse ... Repeat.
