It really was not senseless. How about parents teaching their teen children not to taunt and assault the police for a change. I am so sick and tired of this whining, hand wringing crap. I care little about the race issue anymore.

senseless
it was
if this punk had just listened to the cop when he told him to get out of the street
and then not jumped in the police car trying to take his gun and finally when he was running down the street had not turned around and charged the cop he would not have died
he brought it on himself
a thug a big fat coward

from your second link-

Quote:
Insistence by St. Louis officials that the beating death of a Bosnian man was not a hate crime is being met with skepticism and anger, according to leaders of the city's 70,000-strong Bosnian community, and the victim's brother is calling on authorities to "investigate every possible motive."

It's pretty obvious that these kids were out looking to target white people..it wasn't a robbery, they weren't trying to steal his car, so why did they hit this guys car with a hammer?

The answer is- not a peaceful, law-abiding one.


Democrats would never allow that. They want a minority-majority country so that they can rule over the ruins.

Which equation do you mean? What is the ratio which you are trying to balance?

And, they don't have to!

"Some legal experts asserted that McCulloch deflected responsibility for failing to indict Wilson, and created conditions in which the grand jury would not indict him either. Ronald S. Sullivan Jr., director of the Harvard Criminal Justice Institute at Harvard University, said that "As a strategic move, it was smart; he got what he wanted without being seen as directly responsible for the result," and called the case "the most unusual marshaling of a grand jury's resources I've seen in my 25 years as a lawyer and scholar." The New Yorker's legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, accused McCulloch for implementing "a document dump, an approach that is virtually without precedent in the law of Missouri or anywhere else". Other legal experts chided McCulloch for not challenging Wilson's account of the shooting."

Sounds like the defense attorney could not prove Brown to be innocent......this just shows us how sore losers play the game. Acting like hitting a police officer will not advance into more conflict possibly being shot.

Sounds to me Brown didn't know much about surviving in life in the first place. Parents who teach their children the facts of life are much better, than those who party and announce to burn down innocent people's place of work.

Be careful which things bother you, they may be the wrong things.

It takes a lot of responsibility off their backs.

One person acted as prosecutor and defender.

Cute!
Not hardly. I still can't believe the level of denial that people have about Michael Brown's actions that resulted in his own death. Clearly the Grand Jury got it though. Good for them.

After Brown fled the cop, Wilson should have called the police.

Maybe Wilson didn't call the police, because it became, personal.
