1. Michael Brown allegedly committed strong arm robbery--there was never a trial, so he was never convicted of anything. This actually does matter. What also matters is that the store DIDN'T call the police but a customer. This matters too. Mostly what matters is what I can infer from you listing the strong arm robbery first, that you think Michael Brown deserved to be shot and killed while unarmed.
2. RE: Brown being shot in the back. There were shots that were fired that actually didn't hit Brown but did enter a woman's home. How do we know that shot wasn't intended for Brown's back? Have we heard from any experts about the trajectory of that shot or any of the shots for that matter? No, we haven't.
3. Shame on people demanding justice, how dare they!
4. Yes because those businesses are more important than an 18 year olds life or the continuous mistreatment of people who aren't business leaders.
Yes, race relations have been set back in this country but it certainly wasn't because of Ferguson, Missouri. Does Kenya sound familiar to you? How about demands for birth certificates? Or any other argument to invalidate our first black President and people not speaking out against those arguments.
I am convinced the only thing that would placate the protestors is just the appearance of fairness. That's right, maybe if that community felt as though they were treated fairly that just might satisfy them but when "business leaders" demands are more important than justice or equality, those protestors have rightful grievances.
