If you’ve read any of my blog work, you come to the swift conclusion that, 1) I’m more concerned with speaking about the cold hard facts as they are more than I’m concerned about how I’m perceived for what I say, i.e., I don’t have any socio-political fears about how what I say may be accepted in the world of public scrutiny. I’ve made plenty of enemies in my lifetime because I dared to speak the truthful facts and/or my opinion when virtually no one else would. Obviously I don’t work in a corporate or gov’t job, and 2) I don’t care about an overwhelming tide of public sentiment landing on the opposite of the table from me — I typically go against the grain in most cases simply because I believe the average American is stupid & ignorant, and that’s a majority opinion I don’t want to be a part of if I can help it.
I’ve read all the evidence in the Michael Brown case that occurred in Ferguson, MO, and there are a number of conclusions I’ve drawn from them.
1) Michael Brown committed Robbery 2nd Degree when took the cigarillos using force, as proven by the video. When you simply steal something surreptitiously, or grab it off a shelf & run without taking it from somebody’s person or causing any injury to them or threatening them, that’s simply theft or shoplifting, or it’s burglary if you break in to do it & they’re not there (people confuse theft, burglary & robbery quite often). But if you take an item openly AND use force in doing so, but you don’t use a weapon, that is Robbery 2nd Degree per Missouri statute 569-030, so he’s not a simple shoplifter or thief, he’s a STRONG-ARM ROBBERY suspect, and I don’t mean an “alleged” suspect, as we have video that 100% proves he’s a perpetrator, not an “alleged suspect”.
2) The blood evidence shows that Michael Brown had reached into the cop’s car when he was shot in the thumb by the cop, this due to Brown’s blood being on the cop’s leg & in the police car, therefore, he ASSAULTED A POLICE OFFICER IN THE COP’S OWN CAR.
3) The blood evidence also proves that he was coming TOWARD the cop when he was shot later, not when he was running away, so this proves that he was ASSAULTING THE COP AGAIN and that he didn’t care that the cop was armed & would shoot him — he was NOT a “fleeing suspect” or running to get away from a deranged cop trying to kill him.
These are not the acts of a “gentle giant” or a “boy”. He was a large strong-arm robber & cop-assaulting thug & he got exactly what he should have gotten. A cop cannot allow a Robbery suspect to charge him and NOT shoot him, especially when he just assaulted the cop in his police car just a moment earlier. The suspect could wrestle the gun from the cop, shoot him & others. He’s a priority #1 danger to society if he would dare to assault an armed cop. If he had lived, he probably would’ve gotten at least 30 years for the strong-arm robbery & assaulting a cop twice. He would’ve been just like any other prisoner in any prison with the same charges — a thug, guilty as charged.
The moral is not a racial message — it’s a common-sense one, i.e., A) Don’t commit strong-arm robbery, B) Don’t assault a cop, and C) Don’t charge toward a cop, especially when he has a gun pointed at you and especially if you’re a wanted felon. Doesn’t matter if the cop is white or black or the suspect is white or black.
If there’s anybody in America that knows & understands all the evidence & feels sorry for that thug or believes that he didn’t deserve what he got, THEY are the racists; in this case, it’s “reverse racism”, but in actuality, racism occurs anytime a person belittles a person strictly due their race, and that’s what is occurring in the press with those who support the strong-arm robber & cop-assaulter Michael Brown.
Also note that Ferguson is predominantly a black area, so they’re only burning down their own town, and many insurance policies don’t cover damage by riot or civil unrest.
If a person is attacking another person & the attacker is shot, why does it matter what race they are? Every time some black guy gets shot during a crime, there’s Al Sharpton & the rest of Black America & 99% of the celebrities saying it’s a racial thing & this sort of thing shouldn’t have happened. They’re partially right — these black thugs shouldn’t be assaulting people & committing the crimes they get shot for. That’s what shouldn’t happen. You rob a store, the cops will look for you, and you attack the cops or anybody else who you know has a weapon, you’ll surely get shot. Why is anybody having a problem with this?
Because human beings, since the dawn of time, have found various ways to split people into groups & heap shame & despair on the group they’re not in. Whether we use race, religion, tribal affiliation, familial affiliation, nationality, political differences, philosophical differences, sexual orientation, or simply differences in intellect, humans have always tried to separate people into groups that value one group over another.
If history is any indication, it will never change. Social media is actually making it worse, or least more publicized.
We need to be educating our youth of all races to stay off drugs, stay in school & get a college degree or a valuable trade, not have unprotected sex or try to have kids until they can handle it emotionally & financially, and teaching today’s kids how to be good parents & raise their own children properly when they have them hopefully much later. Michael Brown simply wasn’t taught to do the right thing by his parents or our school systems, so he didn’t have proper education & parental guidance. These events will continue to happen until we stop making people who are mean, ignorant & uneducated look cool in our kids’ eyes (a/k/a rappers & other people who spout ignorant language, actions & rhetoric) & we start teaching people how to do the right thing & why that’s important to society & not just themselves.
