Don't agree really. But I can feel where u are coming from

Well, at least we're making some progress here with all these posts. I know the world may seem black and white and simple for someone your age, and from what you've experienced thus far. But it's not. There is no black and white in the real world. Nothing but gray. There is gray in everything someone does. There are so many reasons for what happened, there are so many ways that day would NOT have happened. I'm nearly 30 and took a buttload of criminal justice classes in college, and even for me none of it was simple or cut and dried.

We'll never know why Brown acted how he did that day, we'll never know what his thoughts were or his intentions truly were. All we can go on are the reports by Wilson and the eyewitnesses, and what the evidence tells us. It is a tragedy. It really is. But while some may want to think things are cut and dried and that Wilson cold blooded murdered Brown, it's just not that simple.

Again, there are some areas of the justice system that need fixing, especially when it comes to drug sentencing. But the biggest area that needs fixing is parenting and morals. If people didn't commit crimes, or sell drugs, or join gangs, they would have nothing to worry about with police and the crime rates would go down and the jails would be empty. Sure, especially with black people, they may still end up being profiled just for being black in a certain neighborhood or whatever other reason, but if you have committed no crime, while it may very well seem like bullshit, all you can really do is just suck it up and obey the officer's orders and get it over with as fast as possible without doing anything stupid or making any stupid movements that may trigger something in the officer to make him think you're reaching for a weapon or something and don't mouth off at him as it will just prolong everything. I'm white and even I just suck it up and obey the officer's orders and don't make any sudden movements when being pulled over for whatever reason.

Actually although can't stand Sharpton and Messy Jessie, they do try to address black on black crime in inner cities and hold empowerment conferences etc regarding it...just not nationally televised or get much attention

He can say it a little better



Still regarding this case a lot has been reported as being odd and unorthodox regarding several key things

Forensics, basic protocols, etc

Alright, well that would explain why I've never seen or heard Sharpton on TV about black on black crime. I still don't really care for the guy. He comes across to me as someone who eagerly uses tragedies to get that free time on TV to push his agenda every time something happens, almost like those ambulance chaser lawyers.

As for the questions you had about things, that's outside my knowledge base, so I'm not even going to pretend that I'm qualified to answer those. I'll leave those to CLW or someone else with the experience to answer those questions.

Leaving scene by himself

Wash blood off hands

Check his gun into evidence himself

Maybe CLW could clear some of the legal speak but does these things and other stated by others regarding the lack of cross X/missed questions normally happen in court of law?

#1 leaving scene by himself - he was not arrested/charged at the time so of course he would leave the scene of the shooting (just as anyone who is not charged would) - moreover after talking to the eye witnesses at the scene and to Wilson he was not a "suspect" as the investigating officers could have easily concluded that Wilson acted in self-defense

#2 washing blood off of his hands - the article does not state how quickly this happened - i mean are they arguing he should still have the blood stains on his hands? - presumably its Brown's blood on Wilson's hands from the gun shot which is only further evidence which harm's the left's "argument"

#3 i cannot comment intelligently on "protocalls for handling a crime scene and securing evidence" (i.e. i'm not a cop) - however, NOTHING i have seen and/or heard would lead to a Court excluding evidence at trial - however, i suspect the left's argument is that it let evidence "die" - however with Brown's blood on the gun the only logical conclusion is that it was also his blood on Wilson's hands so its only duplicative of other evidence they secured - the article mentions no other evidence that the police failed to collect

#4 one person did not take measurements but another did

#5 - the FACT the left continues to COMPLETELY IGNORE is that there were 6 African-American eye witnesses that backed up Wilson's testimony as to what happened leading up to the shooting - notice this article (and all articles from the left) NEVER mention the testimony of these 6 witnesses

#6 - the cross examination of Wilson was fine in my opinion - the left wanted the prosecutor to apparently yell/scream at the guy and ask different questions - first asking a witness questions in front of a jury/grand jury is a gut call for an attorney and is largely based off of how the jury/grand jury is reacting to the testimony - no one attacking the prosecutor knows how the grand jury members were reacting to Wilson - it is entirely possible they obviously liked Wilson and completely believed his testimony - if that was the case attacking him (on minor quibbles) would have only further put the jury on Wilson's side

In sum, anyone who logically reviews/follows ALL of the evidence can easily conclude that no crime occurred. It's NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Moreover, if the prosecutor acted like the left wanted him to - he could easily go down in flames like Mike Nifong (Duke Lacrosse Prosecutor) and be disbarred for his behavior. Acting like the left wanted him to do would have required him to put up people that were CLEARLY committing perjury (i.e. the friend who basically said he was executed from behind) and ignore the MOUNTAIN of evidence in Wilson's behavior. That kind of behavior is a severe abuse of power and can lead to severe punishment from the bar including disbarment and potential criminal charges as well.

EVERYTHING is right vs. left. I'm sure CLW would vote for Rush Limbaugh if he ran for president.

This much more of a black/white thing than a right/left thing.

I couldn't have put (what I hope) the entire argument is in better words than what he did.

[bdoughty]

Speaking of the good Rev, when is he sending his apology to those Duke Lacrosse players?



Oh that's right, he had nothing to do with it. Wow! An internet full of pictures and news of him and Tawana Bradley. The only thing more shocking is in the longer interview the MSNBC reporter does not call him out on this. All network news is slanted to the left, outside of Fox which is just as bad in pandering to the right. Come on, even Comedy Central gave Colbert a show designed just to mock Fox and conservatives. Still waiting on them to produce a show to openly mock unapologetic liberal tripe like MSNBC.




Maybe the Black community should look to a higher quality of leaders to work on empowerment conferences, etc? Just throwing it out there.

I'm pointing out that a lot of the racist talk is archaic to begin with. I'm just generally having fun with the whole thing.

ya know....one of my best friends is Chilean. I was with him and his family at his nephews home for Thanksgiving. His nephew is Chilean,married to an Asian girl. My best friend is married to a white girl who's family is jewish. His sister is married to a black guy whom actually was born in Africa ( making fun of that 80s trend that started that you had to say African American even though they'd never been to Africa and were born in the States LOL)

no point really....I could just care less when people have to start with racist conversations because I'm not and its not part of my world. Its more a class system, I will be cautious of black people let alone anyone if I'm in a poor neighborhood but not if I lived next to a black family in the wealthy neighborhood. Race has nothing to do with being able to tell if someone is a dishonest thug.

Answer this survey to continue reading this content....I'm going to riot over crap like that ! just let me see the damn article !

I just randomly click an answer and move on so I can read it. You only have to answer one question. It beats the cunts who entirely lock their shit up behind a paywall and force you to subscribe to read it. My local paper does that bullshit.

Nah, the ones who do it right, you just need to answer a single question to view the article. That website with the story, you can answer all the questions to have full access to articles for something like two days. But I just bother with the single question.

Yeah, it's especially annoying when trying to link old friends, who long moved away from town, to local stories of interest.

Thankfully I have a subscription for the physical paper, so the web access is fully included by simply creating an online profile (only log-in and password) using your account information. If they wanted to charge extra, I'd be pissed.

I'm putting up with bullshit like that with ESPN and ESPN magazine. Despite having the digital edition unlocked via verifying your physical subscription on the App Store, for whatever reason, the cunts at ESPN give no option for that on Google Play. On Android, they expect you to buy an additional subscription for online access, in addition to your physical subscription.
