If what Darren Wilson said is true, then MB did deserve a bullet, but honelsty, who in real life is running away from someone that is shooting a them and then turns around and charges the person that is shooting at them and that person is a cop too, that just doesnt add up.

I you would have read what actually happened. He did not shoot at Brown, until Brown attacked him.

If you dont have the critical thinking ability to distinguish the two concepts/problems, you might as well off yourself cuz the world is way more complex than that...Just cuz certain cities have a gang problem that affects that community and causes black on black crime, doesnt make it OK for you to distract and pretend like police shootings are all good...

Same with all that BS about All Lives Matter. Black lives matter doesnt imply other lives dont matter, it just focuses attention on black lives cuz other lives are not violated right now like this. ALL lives are not killed by police at this rate without justification so shut your mouth with All lives Matter. Its like a poor person saying, I need govt assistance cuz im strugglin and then a rich person is like wait, hold up, thats not fair, i need govt assistance too then. No, u dont, u self centered scumbag. Just be glad to be white and keep your stupid mouth shut.
And Im white...

MB shooting was deemed justified by DOJ, but I wouldnt be surprised if its some kinda BS involved, considering DOJ also said Ferguson police was super racist and crooked...Wouldnt be surprised witnesses were intimidated amongst other things...Could still be a good shooting, but just saying.

The BLM label defys logic.


Its intent is to recruit the befuddled and confused who join the mass hysteria.


If you have a hardware store and advertize pizza, no one will ever vist your store or consider shopping there for screws and nails. Those who come to your hardware store for pizza will be extremely disappointed and never return.


How hard is it to figure out the label, Black lives matter, as directed at police shootings, twists logic, denies the science/statistics and supported by lies repels prospective supporters. Clear thinking people see the inconsistency, read that as idiocy, and soundly reject whatever cause BLM is trying to impose.


then we hear BLM doesn't really exist so they can;t be declared a terrorist group.


Wave more signs encouraging cops to be killed and see how much support comes forth.


That you have to explain BLM and are frustrated, wonder why no more.

They will not march because .......hmmm......for one thing it is not Blacks killing other Blacks, they are just forced to do it. Yeah like everything in fact, no other choice , they just have no other option.

What a conceited, self centered logic, we are so good and perfect, really we are, even something like one Black killing another Black , is not our fault , is it the system you see. Blacks would need to swallow their pride , show humility (that can be so hard for them) and stop playing victims for once in their lives. It is getting pathetic to watch and witness.

Another thing, where are all the matriarchs in the Black community when times get bad. Nowhere to be seen. Only heard when playing the peace and love card when among Whites. God only knows what they are telling their kids when they get home out of White earshot. There is big disconnect there. Where is the love for their community?. Obviously, there needs to be more equality in the Black community, as the leadership from Women is doing nothing to introduce peace and humanity among their people. Are they up to the task , do they have it in them?.

Black lives only matter if Whites are doing the shooting. You haven't figured that out by now?

You can march all you want and they do have anti violence rallies in Chicago from time to time, but it is too much poverty and guns in those area and peoples pride is the bigger issue with demanding respect and getting revenge why so many are shot. Many of those youth have nothing to live for and one mess up makes them unhireable because they are now a criminal in the eyes of corporate America and if you cant get a job, its either the government provides for you or you turn to a life of crime to get what you want.
Black leaders like Jesse Jackson need to lead the way. I don't know exactly why things have gotten much worse than before, but I don't think that listening to music that degrades women, police and life in general helps much. Motown never had that issue. Garbage in = garbage out. Then there are the drugs - a lot more profit now than selling a nickel bag in the day. It's not just being poor, that was always with us, but there was a kinder spirit that you could feel, say in a neighborhood block party. I've been stopped, searched by the police for no good reason, but I always was compliant and polite and they never gave me grief.
