This can only mean one thing....it's real,and it's bad.

Real bad.

And as if on cue, just five minutes after your comment: New Evidence Indicates Michael Brown's Friend Joined Attack on Ferguson Cop.

I love it when the mask slips and we find out who these people really are.

So, they spoke up when the police officer’s address was made public? (since they are so concerned about the right to privacy, I mean).

That’s true. Luckily for FR, his records will leak somehow and we will decide!

And his criminal record is completely relevant, especially since they tried to portray him as an upstanding college-bound citizen, and also considering that just moments before he had used violence to rob a store.

Funny. Or when George Zimmerman’s, his parents, that poor elderly couple who had nothing to do with it, the time the Black Panthers put a $10,000 (later a million dollar) bounty on Zimmerman wanted “dead or alive” which is a felony and etc., etc...

They want to have it their way, no matter how contradictory. They want complete power and freedom, minus any responsibility. Another example is in the calls for the Ferguson PD to “reflect the community”, while at the same time denying that right to majority-white communities, and also demanding jobs (for which few qualified blacks apply) in safer, low-crime white communities.

How true, he wrote” People should abandon their witch hunts. If there is significant baggage to the life of Michael Brown, let it come out in the course of a swift trial against Darren Wilson, which would be the best outcome of this tragic event”.

He meant to say “let it come out in the course of a swift LYNCHING against Darren Wilson”

I agree. As long as they are enabled by everyone from the Leftists, to the media, to the top of our government, they’ll never grow up.

Darren Wilson’s record has been exposed. He came from a troubled department but had no record of trouble himself.

Claiming a role of race in Brown’s death enhances the race-grievance industry's cash flow.

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T. Washington (1856-1915.) ~ Educator, Author, Civil Rights Leader

Never let a tragic event involving black Americans go to waste scream racism loudly and nonstop -- immediately! before facts eliminate the opportunity.

You are right to love black people.

Correct. That couple actually had to leave their own home. They had absolutely nothing to do with any of it. But that didn’t bother Spike Lee or the Black Pampers. They want white blood, any white blood.

His criminal record and the convenience store robbery have a huge bearing on Michael Brown’s own behavior.

If he were an innocent, upstanding citizen, the story that he attacked a cop, fractured his eye socket, and was coming back to finish the job when he was shot, would make no sense. What would be his motivation.

If, however, one takes into account that he was in trouble with the law, perhaps on probation, and had just roughed up a shopkeeper, Michael Brown’s actions make a lot more sense.

As far as he knew, Officer Wilson was stopping him for knocking over the convenience store. If he had already been in trouble with the law, he might have been facing some pretty severe penalties for his most recent crime. If so, the story that he made a decision to struggle with the police officer is much more plausible.

And finally, it is silly to say the video make Michael Brown look bad. Michael Brown made Michael Brown look bad. Stealing stuff and roughing up shopkeepers is bad, whether the video winds up on the news or not.

And how is he a “victim” anyway when he got what he got only after assaulting the police officer, severely? Blacks are always victims, no matter what-and even when it’s self-inflicted, like the looted businesses, whites are to blame and must pony up whatever is required to “fix” it.

This writer claims his dad was a reporter. Obviously, the kid learned nothing. He’s an awful writer.

From his father and Anthony Shahid, he has leaned to write Black.

That’s like saying My Lai is my fault even though I enlisted 10 years after it happened.

Moves to uncover the youth records of the 18-year-old Black youth are misplaced and akin to efforts to blame the victim.

First sentence BS alert. The evidence we have so far is the only known "victim" is the Mini Mart owner strong-armed and robbed by Mike and his criminal friend.
