Re: Gov. Rick Perry indicted for abuse of power for carrying out threat to veto prose
Very well...
What an absurd comment.
No right wingers are excusing thug Brown's actions.
I wanted to ask the following question of you via PM because I didn't want to hijack the thread. But since you insist on public commentary, so be it.
I guess you didn't understand the "elsewhere openly" comment.
You could have very well asked "elsewhere" in a relevant topic while quoting what you did if you were concerned about taking it off topic or hijacking. :shrug:
I noticed your post above from earlier in this thread and was curious as to why you think the kid was a thug?
What evidence do you have that the kid was a trouble maker and a low life? Are you basing your opinion of him strictly from reports that he robbed a store prior to getting shot? Or do you know more about this kids social and/or criminal life than anyone else within this forum?
[...]
So, I'm asking what evidence do you have to conclude that Michael Brown was a trouble maker and a low life...thug?
Based on your comments here and elsewhere, you obviously do not know what the evidence is. Which would also show that you have not followed the progression of my comments as they revealed the evidence as it became known to me.
I do not jump the gun in calling someone a thug, and I did not do so here.
Only once the individuals actions are in evidence does it then permit me to use the term.
But you also include "trouble maker" and "low-life" and I have no clue why.
You are apparently thinking something was said that wasn't.
I am more than sure that a thug may, or may not be, someone who is known as a trouble maker, just as I am sure a thug may, or may not be, a low-life.
But I surely didn't use the terms.
But in this case Brown apparently made trouble. Or do you doubt that?
Maybe it is just your own personal definition of what a thug is?
The person who robbed the store
was confirmed as Brown.
So ... Thug.
And besides that, it was released that Brown had tried to take the Officers gun
We also know that a struggle ensued between Brown and the Officer while the Officer was in the car, and also reported was that the gun was fired while in the car.
And then.
Police Chief Tom Jackson.
So ... Thug.
And then there was the following.
An eyewitness in the background saying that Brown was all over the Officer's truck, and later was moving toward the officer while the Officer was shooting. This combined with what came before...
Thug.
Which does not coincide with his cohorts account
(which sounded contrived anyways) of having his hands in the air and an execution style murder.

#1 How’d he get from there to there?
#2 Because he ran, the police was still in the truck –
cause he was like over the truck
{crosstalk}
#2 But him and the police was both in the truck, then he ran – the police got out and ran after him
{crosstalk}
#2 Then the next thing I know
he doubled back toward him cus - the police had his gun drawn already on him –
#1. Oh, the police got his gun
#2 The police kept dumpin on him, and I’m thinking the police kept missing – he like – be like –
but he kept coming toward him
{crosstalk}
#2 Police fired shots – the next thing I know – the police was missing
#1 The Police?
#2 The Police shot him
#1 Police?
#2 The next thing I know … I’m thinking … the dude started running … (garbled something about “he took it from him”)

So ... Thug.
I'm asking because this "thug" label always seems to come up when it's a Black male who gets in trouble with the law, but rarely, if ever, when it's a White male.
Your racial aspect is irrelevant.
What something appears to be to you, and what it actually is, is likely two different things.
From my perspective, and how I view them, each case is separate regardless of race.
But then there is what is noticed from the other side ...
This is what gets me about these bleeding hearts... They act as if this POlice officer went out of his way to shoot some black kid that day? Like he was planning on it, that nothing would stop him from getting him some bad arse looking black kid. They convince themselves that this could be the only thing that happened, and that the story of the blacks at the scene would be wholesome testimonies to the integrity of the loving son that got shot down in the street. It boggles my mind how incredibly gullible people are. It's like they've never been to the hood or seen ghetto culture up close, and to think that wearing your pants down to your knees, dreads and Tat's up the neck, and unable to form a coherent sentence in English would remind us all that it's really nothing to be concerned or evaluated, no, we only need to condemn the cop that undergoes periodic psychological testing, intense training, and situational awareness because he's the evil PIGS..
Jesus Christ almighty.. Granted, no rush to condemn the kid, but hell, utilizing a modicum of common sense one cannot possibly rush to condemn the cop either, if anything, this would be the last person to blame.
Maybe you should be addressing the why of what is pointed out here.
Because that is what happens far more than anything else.
