Do tell...from Canada. I watched our fun copy-cat protests in Minneapolis tonight....so cute. "Minorities" are far more diverse and complex than you give us credit for.

I have no intention of telling you anything.

They are highly relevant. And the fact you can't see that leads me to believe you do not have an open mind.

They aren't relevant to what happened in this situation. They're your pet project maybe but that doesn't mean that we should care.

Anyway, I chimed in on this thread. I'm done. It was fun! I can't debate anymore with such narrow minded souls.

This is exactly what I mean. "some of you". We have protestors across the U.S. tonight that no one can ignore. Does that give you any indication at all that something is seriously wrong with the decision of the grand jury?

Many don't see the injustice but perhaps that is an issue that needs to be dealt with. Why don't 'many of us' not see the injustice when so many others do?

The evidence that the GJ saw was obviously so overwhelmingly in favour of Wilson that they really had no choice but to exonerate him. I'm pretty sure that many people on the GJ must've hoped for something solid against Wilson, just so they could pass it off elsewhere, but instead it was a unanimous decision. The injustice would've been to keep dragging Wilson through court proceedings for doing what he is asked from his job. What injustice are you seeing?

The Michael Brown saga had me wondering when/why walking down the middle of the street became so popular. I noticed this behaviour several years ago and just wrote it off as some kind of insurance scam or passive protest that takes advantage of new laws to protect pedestrian right-of-way, but apparently it is quite popular in many U.S. cities. Here is what can happen:

I do hope the guy was OK, but man I'm still laughing at that.

Yes....very funny, but I posted it to explain the broader context of what happens everyday in many U.S. cities. Confrontations with police and other citizens stem from these middle-of-the-street-walking challenges and behaviours. Wilson told Brown to stop doing so...he was doing his job.

And your teenage kids were pristine behaving christian kids. I get that.

This is not about your kids, it's about what society agrees is unlawful behaviour. I'm not sure why you are taking cheap shots at people, but you are actually acting out like a Michael Brown would do.

That's a hoot, says the one who tattled on me for calling you a "toots". I suggest you take your leave alright, leave the serious topics for those with the constitution to wrestle with these issues.

So you are basically stating that a woman 'toots' should not be left to serious topics. Let's not forget your exact words which were by the way, 'hidden by the moderator'. You said that you called your wife toots and that I should not be offended by you calling me toots because your wife wasn't offended when you called her toots. This is of course thread drift.

Wrestling with these issues means to open your mind to why we have protestors.

And my point is you accuse others of being narrow minded, but are narrow minded all the way.

My use of the term, "toots" was obviously meant in a lighthearted way, and your over-reaction, first at me, and then to whine to the mods as if I've assaulted you, is about as narrow minded as it gets.

As it happens, I picked up the term while watching Simpson episodes back in the day, when Bart used to use the term in a humorous way. My wife does not have paper thin skin as you do I guess. If you want to rub shoulders with a wide variety of people that a forum such as this will provide, you may want to rethink your old fashioned attitudes.

Which, again, isn't relevant to the actual issue of why charges were not laid.

Just want to try and educate Hal a bit. How do you know it was unanimous? All they need are 9 out of 12. Guess how many whites and blacks made up that GJ?

I am guessing that you're suggestion is that there were 9 whites and 3 blacks and all the whites voted to not indict...Is that right?

Anyway, I thought you were done here, not gonna tell us anything? You're a troll.

If I need to defend myself against being a troll, I will no longer post here as a legimate poster. It is clearly up to mapleleaf web as to how they can differentiate between trolls. I have never been accused as being a troll and to be honest, I have no idea the characteristics of a troll.

You really need to quit taking yourself so seriously. I suppose if you decide to no longer post here as a legitimate poster, then you'll be continuing as an illegitimate poster. Flip a coin.

Back on topic, besides the disproven theory that Brown was 135' away from the officer when shot, is there any other theory out there that would put blame on the cop?

The theory of the distance between the two at time of fatal shots was not proven. You need to take yourself a little more serious and learn the difference between proven and accepted. Otherwise, nobody will take you serious.

Even if you ignore Wilson's story, the witnesses stories about Brown coming toward Wilson, the blood stains on the road, the coroner's reports (3) and Brown's DNA all over Wilson, the inside of the car and Wilson's gun then you have to attach your theory to something, what is that for you?

The witness stories conflict, the blood stains aren't conclusive, the coroners reports don't match. The DNA I agree indicates there was in all likelihood a confrontation that got physical, but to what degree? Have you seen the pictures of Wilson's so called "bruises"? In any case, had this gone to a trial there would have been a burden of proof rather than a burden of acceptance on whatever evidence exists.
