it is a quote, "video of Brown "robbing" convenience store, when in actuality he allegedly stole from the convenience store. It is little twists of context that certain people get away with that leads to huge distortions confirming the thug meme that the centrist and bluedog leftists seize upon and righties point to to prove that blacks in general are thugs, and that in particular, because Michael Brown "robbed" the convenience store, he deserved to be shot down by the racist pig that executed him in the street like a dog. It just goes on and on, the distortions that allow certain people to feel comfortable in their view of all black people, except those AA ass kissers of the right wing, being somehow thuggishly flawed and deserve to be executed in the street like a dog. Yes at the height of the tensions over the racist execution in Ferguson, I read here many who were justifying and still justify murder/execution by gun toting law officials of unarmed black people.

Certain people and mass media organs/publications with the ability to influence thought in the masses, continue to push distortions like "robbing the store" instead of stealing from the store that make it impossible to judge 'each' individual on their merit or demerit. I guess the sheet wearing, gun toting coward(s) that shot my grandmother those many years ago, because she and granddaddy were too uppity, are representative of all 'certain' people TODAY who are keeping their sheets in the glove compartments of their cars, back pockets and purses to be able to put on at moments notice when the call arises?
