The riot in Ferguson reminds me, I hate criminals, but I hate liberals more. They planned this riot. They stoked the fire, lied about the evidence and produced a made-to-order riot.

Every other riot I've ever heard of was touched off by some spontaneous event that exploded into mob violence long before any media trucks arrived. This time, the networks gave us a countdown to the riot, as if it were a Super Bowl kickoff.

From the beginning, Officer Darren Wilson's shooting of Michael Brown wasn't reported like news. It was reported like a cause.

The media are in a huff about the prosecutor being "biased" because his father was a cop, who was shot and killed by an African-American. What an assh@le!

Evidently, the sum-total of what every idiot on TV knows about the law is Judge Sol Wachtler's 20-year-old joke that a prosecutor could "indict a ham sandwich." We're supposed to be outraged that this prosecutor didn't indict the ham sandwich of Darren Wilson.

Liberals seem not to understand that they don't have a divine right to ruin someone's life and bankrupt him with a criminal trial, just so they're satisfied.

The reason most grand jury investigations result in an indictment is that most grand juries aren't convened solely to patronize racial mobs. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was basically demanding an indictment of Wilson before Big Mike's body was cold. It was only because of racial politics that this shooting wasn't dismissed without a grand jury, at all.

Obama says anger is an "understandable reaction" to the grand jury's finding. Why? And why -- as almost everyone is saying -- are we supposed to praise the "peaceful protests"?

There's nothing to protest! A cop shot a thug who was trying to kill him. The grand jury documents make perfectly clear that Big Mike was entirely responsible for his own death. Can't the peaceful protesters read?

The night of the riot, Obama said the law "often feels as if it is being applied in discriminatory fashion." Maybe, but not in this case -- except toward Officer Wilson.

I know liberals were hoping they had finally found the great white whale of racism, but they're just going to have to keep plugging away. They might want to come up with a more productive way to spend their time, inasmuch as they're about 0:100 on white racism sightings.

Anyone following this case has seen the video of Big Mike robbing a store and roughing up an innocent Pakistani clerk about 10 minutes before being shot by Officer Wilson. They've seen him flashing Bloods gang signs in photos.

They know Brown's mother was recently arrested for clubbing grandma with a pipe over T-shirt proceeds. They've seen the video of Brown's ex-con stepfather shouting at a crowd of protesters after the grand jury's decision: "Burn this bitch down!"

Liberals will say none of that is relevant in court, but apparently they don't think actual evidence is relevant either. It's certainly relevant in the court of public opinion that the alleged victims are a cartoonishly lower-class, periodically criminal black family.

TV hosts narrated the riot by saying it showed "the community" feels it's not being listened to. Only liberals look at blacks looting and say, See what white Americans made them do?

That's their proof of injustice -- look at how blacks are reacting! (While I don't approve of the looting part, I do approve of the whole throwing-bottles-at-CNN part.)

The looters aren't the community!

The community doesn't want black thugs robbing stores and sauntering down the middle of its streets. The community doesn't want to be assaulted by Big Mike. The community didn't want its stores burned down.

That community testified in support of Officer Darren Wilson. About a half-dozen black witnesses supported Officer Wilson's version of what happened. One was a black woman, who saw the shooting from the Canfield Green apartments. Crying on the stand, she said, "I have a child and that could have been my son."

And yet, she confirmed all crucial parts of Wilson's account. She said "the child" (292-pound Big Mike) never had his hands up and the cop only fired when "the baby" was coming at him. "Why won't that boy stop?" she asked her husband.

I always want to know more about the heroic black witnesses. They are put in a position no white person will ever be in and do the right thing by telling the truth -- then go into hiding from "the community" being championed by goo-goo liberals.

White people don't feel any obligation to defend some thug just because he's white. Only blacks are expected to lie on behalf of criminals of their own race.

But real heroism doesn't interest liberals. They only ooh-and-ahh over blacks with rap sheets. The only meaningful white racism anymore is the liberal infantilization of black people.

A cop shot a thug who was trying to kill him.

That is opinion--not fact. He should have been indited like I would have been and then the court and jury could sort out the facts.

He "should have been indicted"? Based on what evidence? The grand jurors saw all the available evidence and decided NOT to indict. Did you miss that part?

It doesn't look to me like a robbery. Possibly, a clerk sold him tobacco without "carding" him or management suspected he was an underage minor, maybe using a tampered ID, and tried to stop him from leaving the store so that they wouldn't lose their license if it was a State-staged "test" on those procedures. After being pushed out of the way, management might not have still suspected that it was a State-staged "test" but decided to report it as a robbery to try and keep their job and the store from losing its license if he was a minor and spotted by the State leaving the store with a tobacco purchase.

if he was a minor and spotted by the State leaving the store with a tobacco purchase.

In this area, even for purchases higher than $50.00, some stores have strangely stopped giving receipts at all unless they are requested and, even when they are requested, a receipt with just the total might be given unless an itemized receipt is specifically asked for. I am mentioning this because, if Brown was accused of a robbery and didn't have a receipt on him to prove the tobacco had been purchased, that wouldn't be evidence of a robbery. He could even have thrown the receipt away by the time he was confronted by a policeman. The store's register tape for the time when Brown was at the store would likely show any tobacco sales in that timeframe and should have been entered as evidence for the Grand Jury to consider regarding the circumstances of the shooting, not just informed that there were allegations of a robbery involved.

Edited spelling.

Darren Wilson to Grand Jury 'I Had to Kill Him' - VICE News excerpts:

On August 9, minutes after police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown [...], he got on his police radio and requested a "supervisor and every car you have."

Wilson began taping off the crime scene. According to court documents from Wilson's grand jury hearing, a couple of officers arrived seconds after the shooting and asked Wilson what he needed. The officer doesn't remember what he said in response, but he knows that he didn't call for an ambulance when asked. Instead, he had one of the other officers make the call.

Wilson walked back to his police cruiser. His sergeant pulled up and Wilson walked over to him.

"I have to tell you what happened," Wilson recalled telling his sergeant. "I said, 'I had to kill him.' He goes, 'You what?' I said, 'He grabbed my gun, I shot him, I killed him.'"

The grand jury, made up of nine whites and three blacks, met over the course of three months and heard 70 hours of testimony from more than 60 witnesses.

VICE News closely reviewed the grand jury documents and found a number of inconsistencies between Wilson's testimony and his initial statements to a St. Louis County Police Department detective a day after the shooting.

According to Wilson, seconds before he encountered Brown and the teen's friend Dorian Johnson on Canfield Drive in Ferguson, a radio call came in about a "stealing in progress from the local market on West Florissant." He said he heard that a suspect wearing a black shirt stole a box of cigarillos.

[Edit to add: Wilson saw two men in the road "walking along the double yellow line single file.]

Wilson said he stopped his car and asked Brown and Johnson to walk on the sidewalk. But Johnson kept walking and responded, "we are almost to our destination."

"When I start looking at Brown, first thing I notice is in his right hand, his hand is full of cigarillos," Wilson testified. "And that's when it clicked for me because I now saw the cigarillos, I looked in my mirror, I did a double check that Johnson was wearing a black shirt, these are the two from the stealing."

The testimony conflicts with Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson's public statements in August, in which he said Wilson did not know that Brown was a suspect in the theft.

Wilson said he got on his radio and called for another police car, then put his cruiser in reverse and "backed up just past [Brown and Johnson] and then angled my vehicle, the back of my vehicle to kind of cut them off kind of to keep them somewhat contained."

According to Wilson, Brown, who had allegedly just stolen a box of cigars from a convenience store, then decided to assault a uniformed police officer.

Wilson said that Brown — still holding the cigarillos — stuck his head in the police car and punched him on the side of his face. Wilson told the St. Louis Police Department detective that Brown struck him about 10 times. He told the grand jury that Brown hit him twice.

Wilson said Brown then asked Johnson to hold the cigarillos and continued grappling with him.

Wilson said that he considered using his mace, but he didn't want to free up his left hand, which he said he used to cover his face. He also recalled thinking about grabbing his police baton or his flashlight, but didn't think either of these would be "effective."

"So the only other option I thought I had was my gun," Wilson said. "I drew my gun, I turned. It is kind of hard to describe it, I turn and I go like this. He is standing here. I said, 'Get back or I'm going to shoot you.' He immediately grabs my gun

Wilson described Brown grabbing his weapon — a Sig Sauer .40 caliber handgun.

The officer said that he finally gained control of his gun, pointed it at Brown, and pulled the trigger twice. It just "clicked," Wilson said.

"At this point I'm like why isn't this working, this guy is going to kill me if he gets ahold of this gun," Wilson said. "I pulled it [the trigger] a third time, it goes off. When it went off, it shot through my door panel and my window was down and glass flew out of my door panel. I think that kind of startled him and me at the same time."

The officer testified that Brown attacked a second time, so he pulled the trigger once more. Wilson said the gun "clicked" again.

Brown took off running down Canfield Drive, leaving "a cloud of dust behind him," according to Wilson. The officer called for backup. With Wilson chasing after him, Brown — according to the officer's testimony — suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned, and made a "grunting sound." The officer said Brown charged toward him, made a fist with his left hand, and reached "under his shirt" with his right hand.

Wilson said he told Brown to "get on the ground," but the teen continued running toward him. Wilson then fired nearly a dozen rounds at Brown.

Wilson said he saw one of the last bullets he fired at Brown "go into him."

[Edit to add: store video YouTube link]

Johnson in the black shirt was the robbery suspect, even though he was not by the counter which the tobacco product was likely behind [Edited to add: except to place something down on it and walk away]? The statement about Brown's shirt changes to a waistband here:

........Wilson: "Can I shoot this guy? Legally, can I?" - democraticunderground.com comment:

Really? He was in fear of his life and in a desperate situation and he is wondering if he can legally shoot him?

It sounds more to me like it was a decision made by someone who was not sure the situation allowed deadly force but after thinking about it a while decided he could shoot him and get away with it. And he did.

I thought that sounded like a really weird statement to make.

A robbery was reported. So what now, do we disbelieve that Mike the choir boy would never rob a convenience store and disbelieve the little shopkeeper that Mike the choir boy shoved around? A man, mind you, who was about half the size of Mike the angelic choir boy.

Actually, he does remind me of a couple of hefty guys I've seen singing angelically in a Protestant church choir but I didn't call him that. You did. Why can Brown (who can say nothing in his own defense if he really was shot to death by Wilson) be presumed guilty of robbery and worse without a trial but questions about it based on the available evidence now are construed as if unfair to the shopkeeper? I already suggested that guy may have been concerned about a State prodedural-inspection or observation that might cause him to lose his job and the store its license if tobacco was sold to a possible minor. There is a conflict in who was said to be the robbery suspect and video evidence that shows otherwise. I don't know how else to phrase it that I suspect he could have had a strong motive to be disingenuous, if so. Don't you at all? If not, why not?

You see no problem with any of that? You are suggesting that the shopkeeper may have.....might...if....possible minor.

All of which is SPECULATION. No way of knowing what the shopkeeper was thinking when, or before, the choir boy in question decided to throw his considerable weight around like a football linebacker. And I don't need for Mike Brown to have a jury trial to observe what is evident on the video.

It's not evident to me on the video that there was any robbery. Brown wasn't even accused in the alleged police report about it of having assaulted the shopkeeper without provocation during his slow speed exit from the store. Why not, do you suppose? Why is it ok for you to assert that Brown was guilty and suggest/speculate whenever about this because the two most questionable sources, the shopkeeper and the cop who shot him, say whatever they want? Yet, I'm being charged as baselessly speculating instead of you because what I've seen of the evidence indicates that the shopkeeper's register tape should have been reviewed by the Grand Jury for them to determine his credibility or motivations. What's different if you don't want to work through the evidence regardless of the consequences to Americans and our country or Leftist agitators don't want to do that either? Anything?

And you couldn't see that he assaulted the shopkeeper with your own eyes? And why would he be in any hurry? Do you actually think that that was the first time he had done something like that and knew that it wouldn't be called in because people were afraid of the consequences? Consequences of him or maybe a dozen of his homeboys waiting outside for him to close his shop and then beat the hell out of him or murder him?

The point is not whether I want to "work through the evidence" or not (and I "worked through" all that was publicly available). The point is that the grand jury "worked through the evidence" and couldn't, or wouldn't, come back with a true bill when they believed that it was self defense and not murder. I suspect you and some of the other folks who seem to believe that Choirboy Mike didn't do anything wrong would be thinking something different if he was putting the smack down on you or even threatening you.

Robbery generally consists of:

*The taking, with the intent to steal, of;
*the personal property of another;
*from his or her person or in their presence;
*against his or her will;
*by violence, intimidation or the threat of force.

JD, above are the elements of the crime of robbery. There is no middle ground to reach with people who aren't able to see that all of the points were met by the Gentle Giant.

It seems that some folks want to believe that no thug ever did anything wrong and no cop ever did anything right. No pun intended but that is too black and white for thinking people to believe. You and I am sure everyone who has posted on here for a long time know that I am not exactly what anyone would call "pro cop." Unlike Gatlin and some of the other boot licking thugs on another site that we all know well, I know that cops sometimes do things they shouldn't and sometimes they are worse than the people they are arresting. That being said, it doesn't mean that they are each and every one scumbags. And sometimes, when Gentle Giants are caught on video doing that which they shouldn't be doing either, thinking people don't defend them.

Point well taken about those of us who have been here from day-1. We know each other well and agree on most matters. When we don't agree we agree to disagree. Those who have come along subsequent to us are generally younger and, IMO, well bathed in the waters of political correctness. It's corrosive nature is sad to watch.

The Left stumbled big time here. Law-abiding citizens of all races got to see their true colors on parade. Democraps do not give two flying fucks about cops, property owners, small business owners, White people, or the public's safety in general. If they're not attempting to cover up the flash mob phenomenon or Black Panther Party voter intimidation, they're doing all they can to convince these double-digit I.Q. twenty-first century Vandals that they have carte blanche to destroy and plunder an entire city.

That seems to be the plan. And blame it all on whitey and his "harble and tarble" ancestors who MAY have owned a slave. The fact that most of us never had any ancestors who owned a slave seems to be irrelevant.

My ancestors owned slaves, but that has not a damn thing to do with the behavior of darkies in America/2014. My ancestors, your ancestors (unless you're descended from Bourbon royalty) were serfs (another word for SLAVES) back in the Middle Ages: where's OUR FUCKING REPARATIONS????

I was born free just like every nigger in America today was born free. THEY chose to act the fool and keep dredging up their ancestral slavery that occured before any of them were born. To hell with them, I would send the lot of them back to Afreaka! and let them try to live there without any affirmative- action programs or welfare/Section 8 subsidies just to inflict maximum misery upon their ungrateful black asses.

Brown wasn't even accused in the alleged police report about it of having assaulted the shopkeeper without provocation during his slow speed exit from the store.

And you couldn't see that he assaulted the shopkeeper with your own eyes?

It appeared that he did roughly refuse to be detained by the shopkeeper but I couldn't see what transpired or not as the shopkeeper moved from behind to intercept them at the door. All that's irrelevant, though, to the police report issues of Brown not being accused of assault or shoplifting/robbery either. His friend was reported as the alleged crime suspect.

And why would he be in any hurry?

I think real robbers would have been in a hurry to leave because they couldn't be sure that sirens and/or a security call wouldn't be triggered by store personnel. And they couldn't be completely sure that no one there had access to a firearm to try and stop them from getting away.

Do you actually think that that was the first time he had done something like that and knew that it wouldn't be called in because people were afraid of the consequences? Consequences of him or maybe a dozen of his homeboys waiting outside for him to close his shop and then beat the hell out of him or murder him?

Lawdy, that's a whole lot of...how do you say?...suggestive speculating...going on there but an accusation was called in. Simply reviewing the register tape at the time could be of some assistance in determining whether the accusation was false or it wasn't, if this case was reasonably discussable. But clearly it's another one of those area denial type of topics where any swimming against the PC tides of clique-ish race-based popular opinion or any questions whatsoever are tantamount to naive ignorance at best or, worse, as lowdown racial treason.

The point is not whether I want to "work through the evidence" or not (and I "worked through" all that was publicly available). The point is that the grand jury "worked through the evidence" and couldn't, or wouldn't, come back with a true bill when they believed that it was self defense and not murder. I suspect you and some of the other folks who seem to believe that Choirboy Mike didn't do anything wrong would be thinking something different if he was putting the smack down on you or even threatening you.

Being in this state of impasse as we are after having spoken our minds about it, the only question I have at this point that I'm gonna ask myself is: Should I be as free as you to leave this prejudgemental subject without being stigmatized by it? Yes, I think I should be but don't expect so...

Yeah, point taken. Most of the folks today who claim to be "African American" based on the slavery of their ancestors are full of $#it because most of them are not direct descendants of people who had been slaves. Some are, sure, but not every black in America!

And, like you, I wonder where our reparations are and when we might expect them. If anyone goes back far enough through his family history he will find that some of them were slaves. It isn't just black people who were sold into slavery (and lest they forget, if they ever knew it, it was their African kinsman who sold their ancestors into slavery).

It appeared that he did roughly refuse to be detained by the shopkeeper but I couldn't see what transpired or not as the shopkeeper moved from behind to intercept them at the door.

Store owner wasn't detaining every customer leaving, JUST the Gentle Giant o' Ferguson. Open your eyes.....
