Also, You are sentenced to death for stealing cigars ??????

he wasn't killed for stealing cigars imo. what are you basing that on?

These thugs know who to mess with, Michael Brown targeted a weak convenience store owner/clerk whom he knew would not retaliate. I'd like to see this coward pull that shyt in Brooklyn, they'll put a cap in his azz before he can blink an eye, pos.

More FUD. That's a 3rd hand report. Show the source and quote where the attorney says they committed a robbery - not a 3rd hand media report.

One other thing I agreed with him on is that supporters of Wilson are portrayed by the right wing as supporters while supporters of Brown are portrayed as dividers, he is so right on that double standard.

I think you guys are wrong. Regardless of what the video shows. . .a Robbery by law requires that something must be taken without consent.


If the "victim" decides not to press charges, the prosecution can not proceed on Robbery. . So therefore he can't be convicted of robbery.


Maybe a lesser charge (crime against the state, theft) could be charged - but I don't see it happening.


For all we know, and without the owner of the store being subpoena. They argued over the price, it got heated, but the guy left with an accommodation.

Wonder why people just love to jump to conclusions on really flimsy evidence.


I for one won't be calling anyone a thief or a robber unless their is some sort of judicial conclusion as such.

Pandering much. . . we'll see if he puts his money where his mouth is.

Why in the name of all that is holy is everyone so fixated on robbery/non-robbery???

The only events that actually matter is an apparent attempt to arrest, a struggle between Brown and the policeman, Brown attempting to run away and the officer gunning down Michael Brown. The officer needs to justify his use of deadly force. By any measure, the officer's use of deadly force was absolutely over-the-top. Shooting somebody six times "in self defense"??

When this whole story was just breaking, I repeatedly said I'd wait for footage from camera in the police car or on the officer's chest. Many police departments require them. Ferguson doesn't. That leaves us with a whole lot of he said/she said. It really comes down to the witnesses at this point. If their versions are as convoluted and conflicting as I keep hearing about, the officer can claim just about anything he wants and he walk away.

If nothing else good comes of it, at least this should pressure any police departments who do not currently have cameras to get them ASAP. They protect the public from bad cops and they protect good cops from false accusations.

So if the owner is too fearful to make a complaint, no robbery occurred?
Is that what yer sayin'?

Why the obsession with bullet count?
Only the last round stopped him.
