NFT: Ferguson - Michael Brown - The latest

PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 2:56 pm
It is looking more and more like Darren Wilson acted as many thought and the shooting was justified. Shots were fired inside the vehicle. Browns blood found in vehicle, on the gun and on Wilsons clothing from the shots. Witness testimony also noted struggle and also contradicts others that his arms were not up. Seems Brown was coming or at least staggering forward from about 25 feet.

This is going pretty much exactly as it appeared and noted from the beginning despite the trolling attempts here and elsewhere to make it something else. Brown attacked the police officer, they struggled , shots were fired, he ran. He turned and faced the officer and did not surrender. The officer did what was his duty and in his defense and really the people of Fergusons defense and shot Brown down.

Now we should get some riots and more ridiculousness. As I noted from the beginning, all this has done is make racists look right and those supporting this case look dumb but they won't acknowledge it so racism wins...congrats....Now we should get some riots and looting in support of a thug who would otherwise be in jail.

You think Michael deserved it. Case closed. When will this thread close?
I've seen some videos  
halfback20 : 10/20/2014 3:10 pm : link
Of pretty big groups cornering police and "protesting". I say that with quotations because many of those videos include threats towards police.

The latest shooting didn't help matters especially when people made the ridiculous claims that the guy didn't have a gun, but instead was holding a sandwich. Nevermind the fact that he's out on house arrest for prior gun charges, he had gun shot residue on his hands and they found bullet holes in a car behind where the officer was standing.

It also doesn't help when you have elected officials, like Jamilah Nasheed, putting out false information and accusations. I believe it was her that made claims that Myers was shot in the back of the head...when that simply wasnt true. When she was asked about putting out misinformation she said it's appalling that anyone would attack her and that she isn't inciting anything..The officer who shot an unarmed kid is who incited everything...She does not care about the facts of the case unless they support her agenda.

All it really says is that Wilson probably shot him in the car. The rest is your speculation.

Where does the article tell us exactly what really happened? This is a political post complete with the OP patting himself on the back for noting his opinion frmo the beginning

Just those pesky, "minor" details
The fact that every post you make is baiting  
kickerpa16 : 10/20/2014 3:25 pm : link
people, by making it as inflammatory as possible.

It's not that hard. The same news could have been conveyed much differently. Either you're tremendously obtuse or you're doing it on purpose.
Like what?  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:27 pm : link
Pesky details? Wilson was acting correctly. There is little to contradict that fact...He attacked a police officer in his car to the point where shots were fired. And this was directly after he robbed a store...
Agree with Dune  
njm : 10/20/2014 3:29 pm : link
This is the latest, not the last. For all we know there could be contradictory testimony tomorrow.

Let's wait and see.

Now let's see if I got this in before deletion.
Every post I make is baiting?  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:30 pm : link
How so? Because people backed the wrong horse, riots and looting resulted and it was incredibly stupid? And because all it has done will be set race relations back and help cement the racist point of view? Maybe I am pissed off.

A bunch of idiots trying to see something that isnt there no matter how much evidence is piled up to the contrary all in support of a criminal who was a piece of crap and attacked a police officer?

Well, clearly you're a dipshit. I think I'll move on from this thread.
I am using facts  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:34 pm : link
You guys cling to trying to hang a police officer who acted correctly while the support beneath your feet crumbles away....But no it is me. What do I know...I mean besides the forensic evidence and the witness testimony...

Do you guys accept yet that Wilson had every right to shoot Brown down? Just curious?

A brain.

PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:42 pm : link
Or am I just pointing out the ridiculousness of what has occurred? And many Brown supporters here can voice their opinion as they argued in the past but the facts on that side have become empty. I am incredibly annoyed at the whole thing. So attack me...fine...Soon there will be protests and riots...congrats....But it is me....maybe we do deserve what we get..

There's an oddly celebratory tone to this thread.  
vibe4giants : 10/20/2014 3:42 pm : link
Perhaps what the OP is missing is that there is zero here worth celebrating.

So, yeah. You could have communicated the exact same information without it appearing like you being right was really what was important here.
I see tons of attacks on me  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:43 pm : link

and support a law enforcement officer who had to hide his family because of death threats for doing his job over somebody who just strong armed robbed a convenience store and physically resisted arrest.
PA Giants fan likes to use the word 'thug' a LOT  
David in LA : 10/20/2014 3:44 pm : link
My guess is that he's the type of guy that would much rather use a different word.
Celebratory tone?  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:47 pm : link
Well since I was one of few willing to be honest when this nonsense was going on and not view it through some sort of jaded manipulated lens, then call it what you want. You should be asking where are the apologies from all those on Browns side....Why are there still going to be riots?

Maybe instead of celebratory it is hoping that people would open their friggin eyes.

You've shown you really don't know anything about "facts" or "cogent arguments". Perhaps you're not a dipshit as I said you were. If you're not, you are doing a bad job of showing it.
So thug is a racist term now??  
giant24 : 10/20/2014 3:49 pm : link
You just called this guy a racist because of his use of the word thug? Try using a dictionary:

thug
THəɡ/
noun
1.
a violent person, especially a criminal.

After seeing that video and fighting with an officer of the law I think that word by definition fits. White, black, red or green.
So lets hear your arguments  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:52 pm : link
Again another attack on me. Riots will ensue, have already occurred but I am wrong because I am pissed off about the whole thing? And that you took a piece of crap and made him a symbol of something to make a statement and in the end it did nothing but reinforce and assist racist viewpoints....

Get it? You guys are winning the argument for the racists as are the rioters...
Unless you live under a fucking rock  
David in LA : 10/20/2014 3:52 pm : link
the word has a very specific attachment to black people. Have you ever seen James Eagan Holmes or Timothy McVeigh described in the same manner? Don't try to play fucking dumb here.

I don't need to make an argument because I'm not trying to say that I know what happened as you are. The reality is that it's possible you're right. It's also possible that Brown was shot completely unnecessarily. The article you link doesn't actually show either, although you apparently believe it does.
lol  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 3:56 pm : link
The word thug is racist now? Hilarious....

I didnt say anyone here was a racist...others said I was...but reading is hard so maybe take another run through and see if you figure it out.
There are two articles linked actually  
PA Giant Fan : 10/20/2014 4:00 pm : link
One is from a GJ witness....These are pretty much facts

Brown Robbed a store, strong arming the clerk

Very shortly thereafter assaulted a police officer which resulted in shots fired in the vehicle hitting brown.

Brown ran but then turned back toward Wilson about 25 feet away and Wilson shot him.

The GJ witness testimony also noted he did come forward...

Ask yourself this. How fast would it take someone to get to you from 25 feet?

Thats less then a second...Wilson was justified. Its not that complicated really.
The whole "thug" is a racist term  
BillT : 10/20/2014 4:01 pm : link
Is BS. People of all races have been called that based on who they are and what they have done not the color of their skin. And I live nowhere near a rock.
