On Guard for Thee Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 I saw the piece on CNN yesterday and it certainly made me think that this pot could boil over again. It's unfortunate (if I can put it that way) that there isn't some video of the actual shooting. That could help get this thing into court and hopefully hasten justice be done. Quote
jbg Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Here's the story about the new eyewitness report: "And the men, who asked not to be identified after CNN contacted them, said they were about 50 feet away from Officer Darren Wilson when he opened fire" Asked not to be identified. Why? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
Black Dog Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Asked not to be identified. Why? Why not? If it's good enough for all the unnamed sources within the Ferguson PD who kept leaking info.... Edited September 11, 2014 by Black Dog Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 I wouldn't want my ID published either. If either or both are brought into court then of course they will have no choice. Until then, in such a "hot tamale" as this case is, I would want to protect my privacy. Most people would I think. Quote
guyser Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Asked not to be identified. Why?I dunno.....maybe because the thin blue line is filled with morons who love to dole out justice as they see fit? Quote
Argus Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Gee, Argus. Maybe you should wait until the trial and we know all the details. We know he was a violent thug. We saw it on video. I don't need a jury to tell me that. There also seems little doubt that he attacked the cop, at least initially. Or is it your position the cop simply opened fire on some random Black guy for no particular reason?

Actually we really don't know anything. I suspect the 'details' from the police have been altered, or fabricated. I won't apologize for thugs, even if they wear a public service uniform. What and who are they really protecting and serving? Quote
Argus Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have condemned the violence in Chicago (and other places for that matter) over and over again. They are planning another summit of civil rights leaders in Chicago to address the issue, since the governments there have completely failed to do anything about it. They held one last November and have met in Chicago "at least three times since then" according to Stewart. Are they condemning racially motivated Black violence against white people?

Argus Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Are they condemning racially motivated white violence on black people? Every day of their lives, I think.

jbg Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 What southern state do you hale from Argus? We know he robbed a cigar store just before. Does that sound like anything but a thug? Are cigars a necessity? Do they feed his family? Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

Do they feed his family?Irrelevant.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/13/ferguson-video-shows-michael-brown-hands-raised The cell phone footage, released by CNN, of two construction workers at the scene early last month appears to support accounts by other witnesses that Brown was retreating or surrendering when he was shot by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, legal experts said on Friday. The video shows one of the men raising his hands immediately after the fatal shooting and shouting, "He had his fuckin' hands up." The man told CNN he heard a gunshot, then another about 30 seconds later. "The cop didn't say get on the ground. He just kept shooting," said the unnamed contractor.

On Guard for Thee Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 He wasn't shot and killed by either the store or a home owner. He was shot in the street by a cop who, according to reports by the cops themselves, knew nothing about the cigar heist. Quote

He was shot in the street by a cop who, according to reports by the cops themselves, knew nothing about the cigar heist. You're right. But for whatever reason, the guy decided beating on a cop was a good thing to do. That's what led to him being shot. Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 You're right. But for whatever reason, the guy decided beating on a cop was a good thing to do. That's what led to him being shot. Shady, you need to be careful when you respond. So you are in agreement that this guy should have been shot dead by a cop while having his hands up in the air in surrender. If I recall, it was you who stated that we should hold judgement until we know the facts, however, you are stating your judgement right here, right now! You have decided why he should have been shot. Am I correct in your surmising? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
WestCoastRunner Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 And this has some bearing on whether he's a thug or not? Your posts are giving permission for thugs to be shot dead even when they are surrendering. Do you not see a problem with this?

On Guard for Thee Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 And how did the cop know he was a thug at the time? Oh yeah, he was black. Quote
On Guard for Thee Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 And where is the proof the cop was beat on? Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 And where is the proof the cop was beat on? It's so ridiculous. We have no proof on anything.
