Wilson Leaves Lawn Half Mowed

What amazes me, is how some people think that trashing Wilson and putting Brown on the pedestle of martyrdom somehow helps black folks.

I agree. No one should be necessarily vilified nor put on a pedestal in this instance. There appears to be enough wrong to go around for all to gnaw on. It is tragic event that should be taken in, analyzed and lessons drawn from it.
 
Murderers must hide from justice.

You have proof that Wilson committed murder then? Feel free to do that. Funny how you call it justice to falsely imprison a man who:

1) Faced a grand jury.

2) Testified the grand jury.

3) the prosecutor provided all the evidence to the public.

4) whose primary witness AGAINST him recanted his statement.

If you can contradict the court and find him guilty...then you have a right to call him a murderer. Until then...demanding "justice" for someone found innocent is nothing more than mob rule! What a joke.
 
Immediately after the incident, Wilson was described as 6'2", 210 pounds. Since then, various media talking heads have added anywhere from 2-4" to his height, and as much as 30 pounds to his weight.

His Wiki says 6'4" 210 pounds as of today (rather soft, pudgy pounds, if the video I've seen of him is accurate). However, Mike Brown was at least 6'6" and weighed between 290 and 310 pounds. Any way you slice it, he was going against a guy that outweighed him by nearly 100 pounds, and was strong as an ox.

The media pulled this crap with Trayvon Martin too, a kid who was 5'10 and weighed about 140 pounds soaking wet. They blew up life-sized pictures of him in a hoodie, and claimed he was 6'2" tall by measuring to the tip of the hoodie, all to combat photos of the skinny kid on the autopsy table that looked all of 14 years old.

I freakin' hate the MSM. :2mad:

You are getting caught up in the issue-it does not matter how big either one was-punch a cop and wrestle for his gun and you are going to get shot.

Indeed, which I have posted about more than once since the evidence from the grand jury was released. My specific irritation in this thread is that once again, people are exaggerating his physical size in order to minimize the fear he felt upon being charged by a guy who was, forensic evidence proved, was ten ****ing feet from reaching him when the last shots were fired.
 
Perhaps the black community in Ferguson feels that is what they have been experiencing in the form of an institutionalized mob. Who knows. Maybe it will cause cops to think twice before they kill someone whether their authority to use deadly force is worth the price of not trying a different approach.

Nice code, you mean kill someone black. No one seems to care all that much if white thugs are killed. And black officers can kill any color strongarm robber and no riots or hubbub. Not if you're looking for racism, might want to turn a spotlight on the NO Justice, No Peace crowd, they're steeped in it.

And that is TOO ****ing close too. Most of the armchair QBs would piss themselves if a guy Wilson's size was bum rushing them from 10 feet. Let alone brown. 300 lbs is big. By anyone's standard. College linemen big.

No, the blame can be laid squarely with Brown. He robbed the convenience store and he assaulted a cop. Those were two crimes that no one forced him to commit.

Once again, someone is drawing conclusions about things one does not know.

First off, the "robbing a convenience store is 1) not correct,as it was not a robbery; 2) irrelevant to the altercation with Wilson and 3) not a crime that gives rise to a death sentence. This item is completely moot and did not give rise to his death.

Second, you have no basis to decide if it is all his fault as you do not know what went on, unless of course you are witness #10. The fact that an unarmed man was killed by a cop should beg the question amongst reasonable thinkers as to whether his death was necessary. Of course, that would something reasonable thinkers. I appreciate the fact that they are many that just don't think too deeply.

Two things come to mind -

1) Innocent until proven guilty.

and 2) From the article 'and spending time watching movies in dark theaters to avoid detection.'

A - if I did not want to be seen, I would not go to theaters at all.

B - 'dark theaters'? Are there light theaters?

That's kind of like saying 'he drank wet water'.

This wasn't an execution. It was an officer defending his own life (rightly so) from a thug. Its really that simple.
 
I don't know if anyone has brought this up in the many threads about Ferguson but Wilson has to be one of the most non-intimidating cops I have seen in sometime.
Don't mean to be a Monday quarterback but I wonder if this situation could have been diverted without killing the guy. But I have this was partly due to a big guy feeling more powerful than a sheepish looking cop.
Not saying that a cop needs to look like Hulk Hogan but just wonder if this made the perp feel more bullet proof.
Just my two cents.
I gotta admit also, Wilson's appearance makes him look like a sissy cop, a punk, more or less a *****. Good thing he had a gun that night, Brown might have made minced meat out of him. I wonder why the authorities don't hire some real cops? Wilson looks like a rent a cop, a security guard or a neighborhood watch punk. Wilson doesn't even look like a real cop.

Now, the grass 1/2 mowed, yeah, I've done that before too, when my wife said we were out of milk or cheese. Sometimes life is just too hectic for those chores. :lol:

How in the hell this made it to MSM breaking news we may never know.:confused: There might be snow and frost on Wilson's lawn right now, when did this happen? 3 months ago?

Hey guy, gotta say that the right wingers are sure cop lovers, except when they **** up and the cops come for them, then they're bad guys. They'll twist n turn this story because they believe cops can do no wrong, and all blacks who steal something or try to are just thugs. There ain't no white thugs as far as they're concerned.

That's a lot of wild speculation and blanket accusations. Care to substantiate?

Don't need to, you can read and interpret can't you? In this case, when you read cop good, Michael Brown bad-thug, you'll get the drift.

And he is now a dead thug - problem solved.

And now, Wilson will possibly be on guard and looking over his shoulder his whole life. Hell of a way to live.
 
The the police arrest more black people in relation to their percentage of the population does not necessarily mean that crime is overrepresented in the black community. When was the last time they stop and frisked Wall Street and Capitol Hill whites when they were out on the streets of Georgetown?

I am not sure if you have ever taken a statistics class, but you may want to rethink that last statement. Numbers don't lie.

And he still has done nothing wrong.

He has been exonerated.

That speaks volumes about his detractors.

Exonerated?

Hardly, there still might be a civil lawsuit, where the family may be awarded monetary damages. Sometimes they call it wrongful death.

If that is the definition of being exonerated, I will agree with you.

You are saying to don't need to support any of your statements below? You're just assuming them to be true? How ignorant.

I don't get why it is so difficult for people to admit that Brown was a thug. You have VIDEO evidence of him exhibiting violent, thug-like behavior, and yet you are so quick to give him a pass. But when you have no evidence, in fact large evidence to the contrary, of Wilson being a murderer, you are so quick to accuse him as an evil, racist, wanton slaughterer of other races. Why? Can you not be objective?
 
The New York Times and the reporter who published is address needs a good ass whupping.
