More dishonesty, who are these people justifying and excusing the unfortunate criminal behaviour of "some" of the protesters?

Read some of the threads here on the subject. I'm not interested in doing your research for you. A common theme is that when people feel oppressed and without control they will lash out, burn and loot, because a new wide-screen TV always makes the marginalized feel less oppressed.

I never said he was.
And the earlier pic supposedly was not of him. So?
All you have done is show you are not paying attention.

Now if the first pic was of him, for all you know he had move between the taking of the images and had to change affiliation.

So spare us your failure to pay attention.

Seriously, the very first picture in this thread he was a Vice Lord. Then you posted a picture where he is a Blood. Since then you have called him a Crip. If you don't know what you are talking about, perhaps you should do some research. While it is fascinating that he might be a double agent gang member, it certainly doesn't have any relation to reality.

Funniest post of the day.

I think you need to pay attention as you are making assumptions not stated.

C'mon, you can do better than that. Put a little effort into it.

I asked you to link to anybody that has posted an excuse or justification for the criminal behaviour of some of the protesters. If you can't or won't, you shouldn't make such claims.

One thing to consider is that a cop shouldn't be shooting someone dead over a robbery. At least if said person is unarmed. It is his job to arrest the guy for it. If he isn't capable of that...he has no business being a cop. So it really doesn't matter if this kid robbed the store or not.

What matters is the circumstances around the shooting. Did he attack the cop? If so...grounds to kill him.

Was he at a distance and unarmed? Then we gotta talk about how and why he got shot.

It was reported this morning that there was a shot fired within the police car, reportedly resulting from Mr. Brown struggling with the officer for control of the officer's firearm.

That's not a "fact" as you claim only to be interested in, it is simply another reported piece of information that is filtering out as most things seem to do in situations such as these.

Allegedly yes, on video, and pictures....But, you're right...Since he is dead now, no trial will ensue for his 'alleged' robbery...But, as time goes on we shall see, because I am sure it will be a part of the defense of the police officer involved...Can I assume you will never acknowledge this happening, or Brown being involved?

Don't ever assume anything. But waiting for the smoke to clear isn't a bad idea.

Anyone know a good place to find case facts on this? I don't give a crap which way the decisions fall. I just want to know what happened.
Click to expand...

they wont release relevant case facts yet

the case is still under investigation

and with all the media scrutiny....they will make sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed

you will get innuendo, hypotheses, and lots of wild ass guesses

for facts....its going to be awhile yet

I do not need to put effort into you making yourself appear *****, ********** or ignorant of what has come previously.
You do fine job of that all by your self.

At no time did I say which sign he was flashing at the time, or why he was.

Of course. I'm the reason a young man got shot by police and a small Missouri city burns at night in response.

Jail me and throw away the key - all America's problems solved.

I'm curious - when a Hispanic youth gets shot, do Hispanics go out in hordes and burn up their cities? How about when an Asian youth gets shot? Is it possible this so called marginalization is a direct result of the marginalized not being civilized?

I haven't any agenda, I'd prefer to let the dust settle, let the emotions calm, let the investigations come to completion and then we can be dogmatic, theory and speculation is mostly what we have now. And I'm not dismissing your source, I was only getting a chuckle out of your conclusions about a town so far from you based on a single residents testimony, on the merits that it bolstered your preconceived idea that young black men are always thugs and this one surely deserved to be killed.

I'll let you know when I am being *****, *********, or *. :lol:

Anyways, is he a Blood or a Crip? I'd hate to be accused of assuming anything.

Are you saying that black people aren't civilized?

Perfect. I'm prepared to concede that the black bloc thugs who trashed parts of downtown Toronto during the G20 conference, not protesting the conference in a peaceful, adult, responsible manner, showed the same level of animal indecency that the black youth of Ferguson showed following the shooting death of Michael Brown.

Is your point that the Black Bloc are also poor, marginalized babies whose destructive tendencies are again my fault?

Why don't you ask him?
And while you wait on that answer, what we do have is a pic supposedly of him flashing crip sign and the fact that he had an altercation with a police Officer after he apparently robbed a store.
What do you have regarding these facts?

You take the word of someone on television. No high ground here. Just pointing out the irony.

Let me know when you're assigned the task of making the rules on this site and I'll hop right to following your instructions. Until then, I'll limit myself to being constrained by the actual inane rules that do exist.

These weren't black people. I just thought you should know.

Ah, I see. Deflection.
You have nothing regarding the known facts and Brown's criminal actions.

Good grief!!

The term used was "Black Bloc". The reference is to an anarchist group, not an ethnic group.
