Here we have a case that screamed for justice, and it seems that we have people in Detroit that actually can think for themselves. Bravo.

"Detroit homeowner Theodore Wafer faces second-degree murder charges for the Nov. 2 shooting death of Ms. McBride, an unarmed black teenager who was seeking help after a drunk-driving accident when Mr. Wafer, who is white, fired at her from behind a screen door, killing her."

You don't pull out a gun for show.

Your post suggests it is rare for white people to be held accountable. It's simply not the case.

SGG, I was happy to see that. Too many white people never see the same consequences for their actions as blacks. How many white males have police shot lately for loitering or walking on the street or whatever it was that was worth the death penalty?

Missed this thread, and this case.

Interesting that it happened in Detroit, and not ST Louis , MO or somewhere in the deep South.

Somebody comes up on your front porch is not a reason to kill them in self-defense, no matter your race or theirs.

Black teen *allegedly* steals a box of cigars (maybe): Shot multiple times, executed on the spot.

White CEO steals billions: gets a bailout and a bonus.


Yeah, show those whiteys how they'll be held to account!

One case went to trial, and a verdict was arrived at, while the other case , in Ferguson, is still basically unfolding.

And you want to damn near dismiss the trial verdict, as you pass judgement on the other incident.

Michael Brown stole, every much as he's now dead. It may be inconvenient for you, but thems the facts. I don't know if ANYONE thinks Big Mike met his JUST end because he shop lifted those Swisher Sweets. Seems his contact w/ the cop who shot him had zero to do w/ the shop lifting.

CEO's getting bail outs for following the rules set up by OUR govt, has zero to do w/ the first two tragedies. Your little race baiting agenda is tiresome. I really wonder if you ARE 'black' , or just some a-hole troll, who thinks it's funny to stir up emotions over your asinine remarks.

Christians killed in Iraq, people starving all over the world. CEO gets away with crime. Big deal, that is just a argument called;

The fallacy of relative privation, or appeal to worse problems, is an informal fallacy which attempts to suggest that the opponent's argument should be ignored because there are more important problems in the world, despite the fact that these issues are often completely unrelated to the subject under discussion.

A well-known example of this fallacy is the response "but there are children starving in Africa," with the implication that any issue less serious than that is not worthy of discussion; or the common saying "I used to lament having no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet."

This is the second time I had to post this today.

Yes, I see what you did there. Thank you for pointing out your appeal to worse problems in trying to insinuate that black people always get what they deserve, and there's no such thing as white privilege.

As much as you'd like to throw out the judicial and evidentiary rules, those are the *ALLEGATIONS*.


Nobody has verified the video in question, to the best of my knowledge, and the police have been adamant that the *ALLEGED* robbery had nothing to do with why Michael Brown was killed.

I understand how inconvenient facts are for you, you fucking dipshit, but do try to keep up.

I'm not suggesting it, I'm saying it. Specifically a white person, or reasonable facsimile, shooting/killing a person of color and getting away with it is more the norm.

And I'm glad you said, HELD ACCOUNTABLE!

Didn't see the video, did ya ?


There was no 'alleged ' stealing of the cigars. The kid stole them. It's on video. He got physical w/ the store owner. The matter is moot.

And you know for an indisputable fact that the video is indeed video of Michael Brown, Jr., right? You've verified that?

I know you think we all look alike, but how do you know beyond any reasonable doubt that you're looking at the kid who was then executed by police (who claim they had zero knowledge of what you claim you've verified)?

My response was appropriate. You by virtue of what you said suggested that white people get away with everything. I rebuked that. Nice try....

2nd time at last you've made that claim but nary 1 iota of evidence to back that up.

They had knowledge because they had the security video of the robbery.

Your continued repeating of your feigned ignorance no none knows who this mystery kid is! ' is beyond pathetic.

Is that the best you have ? Manufacture a false position that everyone thinks 'y'all all look alike', so there can't be any possible way of IDing the individual in the video ?

It's the same person who the police SHOT ( can't say for certain at this time anything else beyond that and not be viewed as being biased now can we ? )

Still absent from you is any hint of gratitude that the front porch shooter was found guilty, and justice served.

Instead, what we have from you is ...


Not so crassic.


But what IS funny is you thinking I'd waste anywhere near my best on such a pathetic piece of go-se as you.

Nice try, jack wagon.

The individual in the video is in fact, Michael Brown.

Attorney Confirms That Is His Client and Michael Brown in Surveillance Video


A lawyer for Dorian Johnson, the man who was with Michael Brown when he was shot by a police officer on Saturday by a Ferguson, Missouri police officer, has confirmed that it is his client and Brown in the convenience store surveillance video that shows the two men allegedly stealing cigars and pushing a clerk. Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson released the video earlier today, though he admitted that the officer who shot Brown did not know he was a suspect in the robbery.

You not liking that FACT, because maybe I'm the one who pointed that out HERE , doesn't in any way what so ever show that I 'deserve' such vulgarity or insults. It only shows how petty and childish some others here are, and how much growing up some still need.
