That's what I'm curious about too. How is this "Breaking News" by any definition? It isn't. There is no "news" here.

It's a new development on an ongoing investigation, true or false, that has become big in the non-traditional media.

That explains your right to post the lie, not the motivation for doing so.

To remove any and all doubt as to the degree of gullability?

Plus, he is getting some very strong support from some here who are more interested in acting catty than being honest. .

It would be, if the other guy (his little friend who is in the pictures with him) didn't say they were in fact robbing the store at the time the video was captured.

Hacks they may be, but no one needs to smear Ted, hes an idiot of the first degree

No, you didn't.

So, you're saying that Rand Paul is not a libertarian? (not that I would disagree, just trying to get a handle on your terminology).

While you don't care about the militarization of local police forces, that militarization is a direct result of the federal government's participation in the equipping and training of local police forces, which I would think any true libertarian would oppose.

But when we see so-called libertarians rebelling at the federal government but championing the power of state governments (such as the power of a governor to force elected officials to resign without trial) I then to think these so-called libertarians are actually fake libertarians. I would think an oppressive government is an oppressive government, regardless of its status as federal, state, or local.

But then I'm not a libertarian... whatever that is ;)

Who cares about Rand Paul? This thread is about the video in Ferguson, not Ron Paul.

Did he reach in his pocket at any time and pull out cash?
How about a credit / debit card?
Was there any frame in the video that showed he had either in his hand?
Was he seen putting change or a receipt in his pocket or was there a receipt in his hand at any time?

When I watch the video the answer to all of those are no.

That's why we need to take the word of the guy who was part of the robbery who said it was, in fact, a robbery. Don't we?

Is it that difficult to admit you made a mistake, got phished? Instead we have to contend with pages of excuses why you didn't see this blog post for the lie it is.

I said right in the first sentence that it was misleading. So I'm not sure what you read.

No need to get cat scratch fever over it.

So now that you know the other guy in the video said they were robbing the place (which contradicts the blog), and now that you've seen pictures and unedited video of Brown attacking the clerk, what do you think of the conclusion the blog made?

Perhaps at best the video could elaborate on the context of the incident in the shop. Brown's character would be called into question, but as far as the official line goes, the officer in question was not aware of the incident. I'm not entirely clear on whether or not that previous incident had an effect on Brown's own perspective about the police officer's intentions. That being said, like anyone else, blogs will try to create a supporting atmosphere to clear either the officer or Brown of what they deem character assassination. It's largely projection.

Considering you are trying to foist a lie upon us, and instead of admitting you were taken are still going on and on the way you are doing, I should believe this why?
 
Re: Brown paid for cigars - Ferguson Police Busted – Attempt To Defame Shooting Vict

I think the bottom line here is the blog cited in the OP is being roundly battered about the face and head for not reflecting reality. The video provided as "proof" actually proves the opposite, that he didn't pay. I also think it's time to cut bait on this blog's point of view for those who still wish to defend those in the video. This is a loser of an issue - it's better to go back to continue beating the shooting dead horse.

Video doesnt work. Says the domain is down.

Well nobody is denying that Brown and the clerk exchange words. Also if you look at the video, the clerk is trying to stop Brown from leaving. This is why he grab him by the neck and push him aside.

Re: Brown paid for cigars - Ferguson Police Busted – Attempt To Defame Shooting Vict

Hrm I just seen the video in the other thread. Maybe because he handled the cigars so much the owner accused him of being a thief and Brown got angry? Ive almost had me and a friend get in a fight because he accused me of stealing his pack of cigarettes in front of our whole group only to have him find them resting on top of a car later on. Cant really tell whats going on in the video though but his body language at the counter doesnt seem to be aggresive. Looks like he is leaning forward and maybe pointing as something. Reminds me of when I lean over the counter at my local store to pick out a lighter from their lighter rack. The world may never know.
