Mike Brown is dead.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

But poor, poor darren wilson, murderer, had to leave his lawn half mowed because he got a call that his life was in danger and now he has to stay in hiding, the poor thing.

I'm not moved and I don't care what darren wilson is going through because Mike Brown doesn't get another chance at life.

(My response to CNN's attempt to victimize newlywed wilson because he has to lead an inconvenient life now.)

[VanillaRhapsody]

1. Perhaps while he claimed he had all that time to think about if it was legal to shoot to kill

Mike Brown.....he should have thought of that too.....

[99Forever]

2. Agreed.

Personally, I hope that murdering scum never gets a night's sleep again in his life and spends all of his waking hours looking over his shoulder.

[marym625]

12. As do I

Unfortunately, he will live the high life with all kinds of sleep filled nights

[99Forever]

14. I suppose you are likely correct.

Though my hope is that, since this dirtbag has no conscience, the fear of reprisals for his crime will do the job.

[marym625]

16. We can hope. and I do, very much. n/t

[hollysmom]

41. I don't wish it o any one, Guess I have a conscience, something Wilson does not however

I wish people will stop paying him - the million he has now seems like a lot, but if you sit down and look at it a million is not going to last forever, you have to work sometime. Especially if you just start sending it

note - spent too much time looking at how lottery winners go bankrupt.

It will last you a life time if you invest it and live modestly. few people really do that, gotta have that fancy car can't live in an ordinary apartment or house, child support. At some point the evil that Darryl does will catch up to him.

[marym625]

54. Karma is a bitch

Wish I believed in it.

He will make much more before he starts to fade from view. I am sure there's a movie in the works. Probably a book or two.

[BootinUp]

3. I have a hard time believing his life is in serious danger

sounds like spin to me.

[KeepItReal]

8. Agreed. Show me where FBI or LEOs are investigating threats against Officer Wilson.

I haven't seen any reporting on it.

[underpants]

4. Yeah but put yourself in Wilson's shoes

Someone could just pulled up in their car and shoot him while is walking down the street.

[Euphoria]

6. WTF? n/t

[nc4bo]

9. The trashmen cometh for that one. Seriously, there are some withered souls

Lurking in the DU shadows.

Thank goodness for MIRT.

[BootinUp]

24. There was a post about blue privilege around here that you might find interesting

but I am having a hard time finding it.

[BootinUp]

55. no, they are just a figment of a corporations mind. Ok found it

if you are really interested.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

7. So, steal (maybe, the store owner says different) a few cigarillos and walk in the street

and POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! You're DEAD!

Is that it?

[Voice for Peace]

11. what does the store owner say?

I missed something.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

15. Here:

Remember that my post you responded to said "maybe". I don't know anything for sure yet but here is a DU post on the matter:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025888812

[Voice for Peace]

19. ah, ok.

I'm sure the store owners don't want any kind of reprisals
and are being wise.

But the video doesn't show anything except somebody
who looks very much like Mike, and his friend Dorian,
Mike's buying something at the counter, and for some
reason somebody is blocking his exit.

It definitely does look like them in the video but as
has been said a brazillion times already, it means nothing
in regards to the murder.

[phil89]

25. Oops. Left out some crucial details

huh? Why choose to misrepresent what happened?

[Vox Moi]

10. A fairy tale

A young man who is guilty of some minor transgression comes into contact with the police:
- He might have learned the name of the policeman. The cop might have learned the kid's name.
- He might learn that even a small transgression can have consequences for himself and others
- He might have even made amends with the shop owner and they become friends.
- He might have used the sidewalk next time, having been reminded that he or others could get hurt from his walking in the street.
- He might have learned that the system can work to everyone's benefit and come to believe in it.

Contact with the police might have been the first step a positive experience.

Instead, the kid is dead. In this case, it's because the cops don't seem to believe in fairy tales.

[Kali]

22. you were booted of because you are an annoying troll

no other reason.

[phil89]

27. Reaching for a cops gun

tends to preclude a friendly outcome. Or do you think Wilson tried to pull him in through the car window? Fairy tale indeed.

[nc4bo]

49. Perhaps Darren Wilson is the real BULLY and THUG in the cruiser struggle incident

Guess what?!

We do not know and, will probably never know because the liklihood of a fair, impartial jury trial will not occur.

The process, from initial confrontation to the ridulousness of the GJ findings, are TAINTED.

[noiretextatique]

60. WHY would he do that?

that's the part of wilson's self-serving, racist fairy tale that doesn't make a damn bit of sense. he wasn't some murder suspect; at most, he might have been guilty of petty theft...IF that even happened. so...why in the fuck would he reached for the gun, except perhaps to try to stop wilson from shooting him.

[Marthe48]

13. There was a lot of money collected

for his defense, wasn't there? <puking>

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

29. It is important to understand Wilson is a hero to MANY people, I mean MANY

and he will be treated as such for the rest of his life.

Free rides galore.

prick

[damnedifIknow]

30. Maybe but sure as hell isn't my definition of hero

Someone who can kill an unarmed person with a gun in the street is a coward in my book.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

31. But he killed the demon...hero

[roguevalley]

59. those who hate him of every color will make his life hell. ask o.j.

[Rex]

33. He is a hero to the KKK and other hate groups.

And sadly a few people here seem to worship the guy...I can only guess as to why.

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. My mind is reeling over some of the posts with regard to this incident.

It seems like more than a few even.

[Rex]

46. I agree. It is amazing to see it on a forum for 'like minded liberals'.

Which seems to stress the point that not everyone here is posting in good faith. I agree, I thought it was bad after Zimmerman shot and killed Martin...but some here seem to be worse about this latest killing. Maybe it is because it is a cop or maybe it is because he is white.

[damnedifIknow]

18. And Bob McCulloch let his killer walk

Beyond outrageous.

[Dont call me Shirley]

20. DW made a million from his murder of Michael Brown.

DW deserves no empathy or sympathy. He is a bounty killer.

[onecaliberal]

28. The money made by Wilson can be

Used to pay the Browns for the wrongful killing of their son in the civil suit.

[Dont call me Shirley]

61. That should be so.

Unless he has been taught to hide his killmoney in the Cayman Islands.

[notadmblnd]

26. maybe he and the othr coward goerge zimmerman can form a support group?

I hope both of them have to look over their shoulders every moment for the rest of their miserable lives.

[BootinUp]

34. Flames not necessary (yet) lol

Look, Brown was enrolled in college, you saying that humans don't do stupid shit like steeling cigars when they are still in their teen years? He was immature and engaged in risky behavior like so many others. And he also big and pushed his weight around. But you are stretching the facts to fit some story that only works if you believe Darren Wilson.

[IdaBriggs]

35. I will flame you.

There is more evidence that Wilson is corrupt (based on getting fired for it) than that this teen on his way to college was a thug.

But it is hard to convince a racist of this viewpoint, and you seem to have similar views as they do, so I won't bother trying.

Not saying you are a racist, of course. You just post like one.

[Ykcutnek]

36. "Marched in civil rights marches back in the day."

Translation: "I'm not racist, but..."

[ScreamingMeemie]

44. +1

Right up there with "Some of my best friends are black..."

[Number23]

62. The oldest "translation" out there along with "but my first boyfriend in kindergarten was black!1"

and "the best man at my fifth wedding was black too!!1one"

[mountain grammy]

37. Only some lives matter? You're the judge and jury?

You convict the victim for his own murder? WTF are you even doing here? You marched in nothing.

[nc4bo]

38. Perhaps if everyone had a good paying job, could afford a decent education and shelter

there wouldn't be so many damn "thugs" for the racists, 1% ers and their politicians to constantly and consistently demonize, our nation wouldn't be in the phucked situation it now finds itself in, hmmm?

[Thespian2]

39. Okay, I'll flame you.

If this represents your idea of thinking, you need more work on using your brain. How can you call Michael Brown a thug? How long have you known him? How in Hell can you foresee the future of a young man whose future was determined by a police man who was determined to kill him? And who cares if you marched for civil rights if you don't understand them? I walked behind the coffin of Martin Luther King, Jr. in Atlanta. Does that give me any special knowledge or special place? No.

[medeak]

45. that didn't take long lol

I marched in Jackson Mississippi and was horrified that black men couldn't look me in the face but had to look at the ground. But had a gun held to my head by two black thugs and this kid really brought back the ptsd of that event with video of him accosting store owner he was stealing from. Just saying wish there was a better poster child than him.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Got a picture?

Thug? If kids on their way to college are now "thugs," we're in a hell of a lot more trouble than I thought.

Unless you personally know Michael Brown, and are not basing your presumption on the media, you've got no business calling anybody anything.

[jillan]

47. What you fail to understand is that the anger IS over that 12 yo; and Trayvon Martin; Eric Garner

and on and on.....

Michael Brown just happened to be the last straw where the majority of Americans said
WE ARE SICK OF THIS SHIT! And We are NOT going to take it anymore.

What happened to Tamir Rice is adding even more anger and disgust.

[ScreamingMeemie]

48. Give it time...

... a "story" will come out about Tamir cheating on a test or shaking down a kid for lunch money, and he'll be a thug in the eyes of even some posters here. The victim always becomes the defendant in these stories.

[jillan]

52. Where have you been? It already started. His father is abusive towards his mother, so that makes

it okay to kill a 12 y/o.

[ScreamingMeemie]

53. I have been right here.

[medeak]

50. totally agree! Trayvon Martin who just had skittles in pocket and so many others

deserve to be the poster child

[MrMickeysMom]

57. NOBODY deserves to be the poster child...

GET it?

[Thespian2]

43. K & R +++

[packman]

56. What about that $400k+ monies

that was sent to him by his supporters - where did it go? Who got that?

[Cryptoad]

58. it is obvious that the majority ,,,,

who vote think that the death penalty for being a street thug is appropriate Justice.

[Avalux]

63. I hope he has to stay in hidinig for the rest of his life.

The comments he made after the grand jury decision were those of a man lacking any sort of compassion or respect for the victim - the person who died at his hands. In fact, he did his best to turn Brown into a monster.

He deserves whatever happens to him.

[LostInAnomie]

64. DU should be ashamed of threads like this.

As should everyone that rec'ed it.

We are honestly cheering threats to a man and his family's life? Not only that, but we have posters hoping they live in fear for the rest of their lives. Fucking disgusting!
