It's beyond me why a 6'4" 300 lb " kid " would shove a store clerk if the " kid " had indeed paid for the cigars in the first place. (As some here have suggested )

Why was the clerk trying to keep him from leaving ? Was he trying to sell the Gentle Giant incense oil ?

You're kidding, right ? There were mobs of folks who wanted to lynch the cop, and certainly would have, if given 1/2 a chance. Granted , most of the trouble makers weren't even residents of Ferguson, but to claim there weren't any death threats is to be naive, or worse.

Don't know the answer to that one, but it makes you think, doesn't it?

SGG


Trevon Martin kept saying he tried killing armed citizens for fun. Haven't heard this moron Brown's excuse, but could it be far off?

Not sure I understand why you say this. Why would criminals ever choose to lie to the police? Shouldn't all witnesses who are criminals tell the truth about their crimes to police so they can be imprisoned as they deserve? It would seem juvenile and deceitful to lie about the crimes you are committing or have committed.
Perhaps you are saying that lying to police is a racial issue.

Really?

Let's see... the over use of " unarmed teen " which automatically implies that he's harmless and was doing absolutely nothing wrong.

Highly edited video, followed by biased and well crafted ' comedy ' which is posing as serious editorializing of a news story doesn't make Jon's point anywhere near valid.

" The actual facts of the case " Hey Jon, we DON'T HAVE all the facts, and you KNOW it ! And yet, you prattle on, raised voice and well rehearsed inflections suggest otherwise.

He then tries to paint over the fact that while some token gestures have been made w/ regards to black on black crime, nothing's been effective. So instead of actually TRYING to do more, why, just stir up some racial animosity in Ferguson, and put out the donation cup , while you're at it !!

Despicable

Oh, and the world isn't getting hotter.

The heavily edited attack on Hannity , taking his remarks completely out of context, are a fine example of Jon Stewart's idiocy.

Michael Brown never raised his hands over his head. That's a lovely urban legend, being repeated as if it were Holy canon.

We have no idea whether this had 1 iota to do w/ race, what so ever.

And then Jon goes on to show completely irrelevant clips, out of context, so he can draw some phony parallel between what WHITE Americans bitch about, while BLACK Americans are being gunned down in the streets by over militarized cops.

Only, it's not actually happening. Save for the occasional maybe once a decade occurrence, most of the time, cops are doing a pretty good job at protecting the innocent from the truly criminal.

Jon paints a wholly false picture of this discussion.

If blacks can't get a cab, guess what ? It's not because of their skin color, it's because so many of them COMMIT CRIMES !!! Way out of proportion to the % of blacks who live in this country.

Yes, Jon. I AM tired of hearing about race and how it's the fault of WHITES in this country for how BLACKS are treated.


Sorry, oed, but your attempt to use a silly, inane Jon Stewart rant failed to some how shame me or wake me up to some eureka moment has failed.

BIG TIME.

because they were thrown on the floor rather than politely handed over.

I hope some of that was absorbed. I fear it all went over the head of your target.

The STOLEN cigars were 'thrown' on the ground ? Where do you see that in the video ? Who did the throwing, do you think ?

I see MB reaching over the counter, knocking the pack of cigars w/ his elbow, and them falling to the ground. MB then bends over , picking them up, and promptly walks out of the store. When the store owner tries to stop him, MB shoves him, and then comes at him.

What the hell do YOU see ?

I'm sure you can link the video and give us the time stamp. Yanno, to prove to us all this isn't just another RapFact™.


Yeah. Like that'll ever happen ...

I would note that in the 2011 FBI crime statistics (last ones I can find) 728 murders were committed with "Hands, fists, and feet". 1,659 murders were committed with "other weapons" (not firearms or knives).
