So who's a worse person, Darren Wilson or Bob McCullough? It's honestly a difficult choice. One killed a black teenager and didn't even show a shred of remorse (as was shown by his comments afterwards), and the other, well... just read the article above.
Burn fire! Hellfire! Now Anita, its your turn! Choose GamerGate, or your pyre!Be mine or you will buuurn!!
A protester in Minneapolis was struck by a car yesterday afternoon. There's a video of it, but I'm not linking it here - it's easy to find if you really want to see a woman's leg get crushed because she was exercising her First Amendment right to peaceful assembly.Also, there's been a very surprising discovery about Darren "I'd shoot him again" Wilson: He's a member of the KKK!EDIT: if anyone's still not convinced that the police are completely out of control where Ferguson-centered protests are involved, here's some raw footage of an LAPD officer beating a minor with a baton during a peaceful protest.
According to a statement, the group says it has not published the evidence as it believes it would endanger the life of the person who provided it. Having handed over the evidence, the source emailed, pleading for Anonymous not to publish the information:"This has gotten out of control. They want to kill you. And after you release this information, they will want to kill me. I am scared for my life right now. I am begging you to please do not release the information that I gave. I'm afraid that because the information I provided is so specific, that it will definitely be traced back to me, and I will be in danger. I am a long time supporter of Anonymous, and have trusted you with my identity. Now I feel my life is in your hands. I'm begging you please. I have a family to think of."
Let me preface this by saying I don't know much about the American legal system so I might be way out to lunch with this idea.I've heard that it would be very difficult or even impossible to build a federal civil rights case against Wilson because of what would need to be proven. On the other hand it seems like it would be pretty damn easy to nail the DA with one or, barring that, some form of prosecutorial misconduct since it is very apparent from what has been released that he was trying to get Wilson a walk.If the feds were to do this it would invalidate the grand jury's initial decision and since Wilson hasn't been tried or even charged with anything double jeopardy wouldn't apply you should be free to bring in a special prosecutor and start over.A viable idea or am I out to lunch?
QuoteWilson admitted that he shot at Brown as he fled and that Brown had his hands up when he continued shooting.That's the federal case in a nutshell. Brown was a nasty customer in the convenience store - we all saw the security cam footage of him tussling with the store manager. He was probably anything but polite when the cop told him to get the "fuck outta the middle of the street" later on. But even if Brown DID actually charge back towards Wilson, Wilson had every chance to retreat to the safety of his patrol car, or use a Taser or pepper spray, or simply use his baton. The "he was reaching into his waistband" thing is the standard cop-out for emptying a clip into a suspect. Teenagers sometimes go through a "I'm a tough guy! Fuck all of you!" stage. It is part of growing up. There should be no excuse to gun down somebody just because they are acting like a bully and an asshole. Yet clearly the grand jury believes that doing any of that while black is justification to be summarily slaughtered.
