No such thing as a good kill...

the terminology itself is revolting.




The rally, which drew only two non-white participants, also focused on the theme of “innocent until proven guilty,” and to illustrate this, most of the people interviewed by Dalrymple were quite certain that Michael Brown was a violent thug who assaulted Wilson, who had no choice other than to shoot him to death:

“We’ll all see this in the end that it was a good shooting. You know, it was a good kill,”

said Tina Morrison, a former Ferguson resident, pictured with the pink sign up top.

Really? a good kill.

either every life is precious or it is not.
There is no winner when someone dies like this. None.
justified or not, this is a tragedy.
no matter the facts, this is a tragedy on so many levels.

In the human caring sense, I support both the police and the citizens of Ferguson... and above all, I support that the truth will come out, and that we all we make changes to see that this never happens again.

Is it okay to get shot for jaywalking - no.
is it okay to get shot for swearing - no.
is it okay to get shot for running away - no.
is it okay to get shot for hitting someone with your fists... for fighting - no.

I'm sure I could go on.

May truth and peace prevail.

"It was a good kill"!!!!! A kill, like an animal Tina?? That sure sounds like what you are saying.

And there she stands with her vapid smile. And her pretty pink poster that sports Peace signs...Hey Tina, does this look like peace to you?! Does it!



Does this?



Or this?



Well she has one thing right, she is indeed Wilson! Dear Gawd, save us from the blind stupidity.

And to be honest, I believe it actually happens in about ten percent of the cases where a cop kills somebody, but the Blue Barricade insures that out of the other 90%, at least 89.99999% still get away with murder.

this is the first I've heard someone say good kill.

The terminology should be changed to justified. If there is shooting, let alone killing, the 'good' opportunity has passed once the trigger is pulled.

"A good kill" -- That is among the most insensitive things I have heard anyone say about this tragic situation.
