I've been waiting for Kingfish to jump into this. He knows what his readers want. Just a preview of what's going to happen when the government runs out of money. Ferguson is the liberal cornacopia!

Last words from Michael Brown "I'm dying for a cigar"

Hope we'll get to see a clip of Flynt, Michigan soon.

And Detroit, Stockton, Oakland, Memphis and Birmingham with a little Jackson thrown in for good measure. All of these places are the same and have the same common denominator. Like it or lump it. Deny it or stick your fingers in your ears. Cry racism or man up.

I think you are correct... may not happen all at once or anytime soon , but this is what out of control society will look like ,,, except it will be worse

If they were only that indignant about "black on black" killing, this might resonate a little. But as it stands.......crickets....

Sigh...here you go again...

Seems to me more than a few "AA"s as you seem to want to call them are denouncing the criminal element who has turned the protest violent. To their credit , this has included the dead teen's parents.

How clever of you to ignore that this started with a teenager getting shot 6 times at 35 feet away for what stealing cigars and perhaps struggling with and assaulting an officer of the law who stopped him.

The teenager was on camera in the store where the theft occurred. The police officer was alive and well and saw him close up and could work with an artist to get a description out. The teens were unarmed and on foot and the officer had a car in which he could have followed them.

It seems to me arresting him later was not going to be difficult.

Perhaps you like to see the death penalty for all thefts of less than a hundred bucks. Let's just kill all stupid teenagers who steal.

Would it be ok with you for police to have killed the white teens of wealthy families who have vandalized in the upscale neighborhoods in Madison and Jackson over the years ? Most of them have turned out well, but they were trouble when they did that kind of stuff to impress their fellow teens.

Well, us well heeled white folks wouldn't have had to protest. We can exercise our clout in other ways because...oh...we have clout!

Of course, whites have never been susceptible to mob mentality. That's why there were never any lynching's.

So, y'all go ahead. Stir this shit some more so we can keep the stink going.

After all, there is no such thing as a dumbass, troubling making white person or white criminal, right?

Oh, wait, I guess that means 10:57 pm and 3:14 am aren't white!

The stupid democrat MO GUV has an Obama brain thinking that if they would just be understanding of the protesters everything would be alright...now the Nat Guard is coming...has anyone ever noticed riots only happen in Democrat areas.

@8:04, you're partially correct but the facts do not match the narrative you desire. The 6'5", 285+ lb., 18-year old was struggling with and possibly assaulted a police officer. He was shot at least 6 times in the front, and a likely eyewitness can be overheard on video telling how the teen was rushing the officer when he was shot. In your world, that is somehow the equivalent of vandalism (although in that case, one wonders how you believe the Ferguson looters should be treated).

The strong-armed robbery was unknown to the officer at the time. The release of the photos of the robbery simply countered the PR effort to grant sainthood to the dead teen. Turns out he wasn't leaving Bible Study when the altercation ensued.

The dead man wasn't shot because he was black. Evidence is becoming convincing that he was shot for, at a minimum, putting an officer in reasonable apprehension for his safety and, far more likely, actually causing physical harm to the officer. In other words, arresting him -- as you suggest the officer should have done -- seems to have been out of the question not because the officer didn't try, but because Brown wouldn't allow it.

You can try to make this a broader racial issue, but had Brown yielded, he'd be alive today. I hope you eventually overcome your white guilt. Obama's election was supposed to assuage that, remember?

This episode has opened a necessary dialogue on the militarization of police departments, though, and we should all be grateful for that.

8:04...guess you didn't notice that this sweet little boy is over 6 ft tall and 300 pounds. Cop didn't know he was involved in a STRONG ARM ROBBERY. He stop them for walking in the street and was attacked.

Facts have not been disclosed on this autrocity, but if I felt threatened by a 300lb. gorilla, I would unload on his ass too. Somehow these dimocraps feel entitled to do or take whatever they want.

Johnny Weir said...

8:00 PM....My color, race, ethic background is law & order. This is the latest from your fine ghetto. 8-18-2014 Gunfire, tear gas and Molotov cocktails Sunday night marked some of the fiercest clashes yet between law & order forces and thugs and protesters furious about the death of an out of control teenager.
Protestors spiraled into disarray after two civilians were shot and injured, Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said. He said those civilians were NOT shot by police. After all this settles down the community is destroyed because NO business will locate in the area. This is repeated over & over under the excuse of civil rights. What it is id civil wrong.

The problem here is that the media jumped all over the air with speculation, tweets, and one side of a police shooting.

As the facts come out, it does become clear that Mr. Brown was not a 'boy scout' and he clearly had little respect for others. The video shown of Mr Brown in the market shows us that he, in fact, might have been trying to cause harm to the officer.

Perhaps shooting this person six times does sound brutal--but none of us were there, and there's no video.

This is also not the same as the 'hoodie' killing in florida. It has been shown that the shooter there has a real problem-and that was likely two guys wanting to kill each other...

In this case you have a police officer with a stellar record against a confirmed thug.

Michael Brown was not a "sweet little boy." Nor was a "gorilla." He was a misbehaving, unarmed teenager shot six times (twice in the head) at a distance of 35 feet. He might have injured Officer Darren Wilson in a scuffle, and was clearly in the wrong if he did so. But the amount of force Wilson used to subdue Brown and the distance between Wilson and Brown at the time of the shooting raise serious questions about whether Wilson was imperiled or just angry. Cops can't just shoot people even if the people are suspected of crimes and even if they are resisting arrest. It's disappointing but not surprising that so-called "libertarians" here are so quick to defend the officer because--you know, this kid was a thug, gorilla, animal...go on...add whatever word you choose to devalue this human being.

The fact is the police created the situation we see now in Ferguson because (1) they failed to identify the name of the officer, giving the impression that there was a cover-up (2) they didn't reach out to the family of Michael Brown and show them the video from the robbery in advance of releasing it--which would have solved a lot of their PR issues--and (3) they sent a virtual army with sniper guns to suppress a demonstration that was initially peaceful and happening because of the lack of transparency by the police department. This police force obviously views the community as an enemy and a threat instead of as a partner. Even if a higher percentage of criminals come from this neighborhood, the vast majority of the people there are law-abiding and do not want the criminal element. But they certainly don't want to be indiscriminately grouped as criminals--or "animals"--by the very people who are supposed to protect them.

The irony is that white tea party libertarians fear that this same injustice will be applied to them when they become the minority. But somehow they can justify it being applied to "others," especially if it helps preserve their majority.

"It seems to me arresting him later was not going to be difficult."

Uh, are you deliberately leaving out that first press conference when the chief stated Brown grabbed the patrolman's gun and fired one shot inside the police car? Or has that been retracted and I missed it?

I think the purpose of releasing the video of the burglary (and also reportedly roughing up the store clerk in the process) was to establish his state of mind. Even though the officer may not have known of the connection the burglar sure did when he was stopped by a policeman 50 minutes after the burglary. That may have explained his irrational response to a reasonable request to not walk in the street and block traffic.

if the cop could make two quick fire head shots at 35' he would be an olympic champion. all of these stories about being shot in the back, or handcuffed, or hands in the air are bogus. kid just committed a strong arm robbery, then went for a cop's gun, then turned back charged him is what i gather from the facts. if he was 6'5" 300lbs and charging, 6 shots isn't surprising and is justifiable.
nice touch that our fearless leader once again inserts himself in a state criminal case because of race.

I am from St. Louis. A little background.

Ferguson is not the ghetto. It is a lower middle class community. Owner owned ranch homes and strip malls with a few apartment buildings. It is not a welfare community. People on welfare cannot afford to live there.

The Ferguson Police are well known to be the worst in the area. No one goes to the Police Academy wanting to be a Ferguson Policeman and no one works there any longer than it takes to find a different job. They are a for profit operation, writing as many tickets to as many people as they can for whatever BS they can make up. They are well known for beating people up.

I am a 50 year old white guy, I don't go to Ferguson because I don't want to get hassled by the cops and get a unwarranted ticket with a ridiculously high fine.

I would have never thought all this could happen in the St. Louis are, but if you'd asked me what cops were mostly likely to do something this stupid, I'd have said Ferguson.

The bigger issue is that 50 to 75 blacks are killed in jack town each year and no one riots because they were killed by blacks. That is OK. No one complains and no one riots. These blacks have defined the black culture as a whole as gun totting,murdering thugs. As long as the black community lets the killing continue without protest regardless of who pull the trigger then they are responsible for things like fergusion.

I agree that shooting him 6 times and using a head shot to fell Brown was excessive. If anything at all is to be learned from this by law enforcement and the public it should be. " EFF THE 9mm... USE THE SHOTGUN" It's typically a one shot and drop stop.

You are an absolute idiot, Johnny Weir. Besides that, you can't spell worth a damn either. Those red squiggly lines under a word means it's misspelled. Plus, it's not a typo when the letter you switched for the correct one is on a different row and more than half of the keyboard letters away from the correct letter. Hint: Don't use words that you cannot spell, pronounce, or are unsure of their meaning. You only confirm your ignorance by doing so. Get that hint down pat before we move on to grammar, punctuation, and using logic.

Center Mass said...

Do we need to mention that the cop who shot the 'gentle giant' was black, himself?


And, no, the punk did NOT pay for the merchandise.

Upon Further Review said...

That link provided by 9:37 does NOT show Brown paying for anything. If anything, it shows him at the counter asking for smokes, reaching into the 'cage' twice (at least), grabbing product (probably cigars), then backing away. No money was provided to the merchant.

Watching the video, a reasonable person can conclude that the merchant did not hand Brown the merchandise (since no payment was offered) so Brown reached far over the counter and grabbed the merchandise.

Anonymous said...

He did not pay for the cigars. I have seen video and he takes cigars and on his way out turns as if to hit the clerk or person who is challenging him. I belive if you pull a gun and shoot someone it should not be to wound, it should be to kill. I agree in hindsight that 6 shots was probably excessive but in the 3 seconds it happened the cop probably wasnt thing about that.

Anonymous said...

Bad news for 8:39 am et al

The full video is out there now. He's paying for the cigars.

Don't know if it's a different camera angle or the first was edited.

I wondered why there was no police report or tape of the theft released with the video.

So the kid is stopped for walking in the middle of the street, takes issue and maybe adopts " attitude" when stopped, walks away and then charges a policeman shooting at him rather than just stand there unarmed for target practice?

The thugs in the " AA" community then decide to turn a peaceful protest into a riot and then we have war gaming.

That y'all jump to conclusions and don't wait for facts and then make this about race and ,of course, an opportunity to bash Jackson, rather than about about right and wrong is what makes you all look like racists!

The key is very few know the all the facts right now. Why not wait to the facts come out before making a judgement. In my opinion what happened in the store really does not mean anything. From initial reports, the police officer who shot Brown did not know Brown was the suspect. Thus, the store incident is irrelevant.

What is relevant is the police report of the actual shooting which few have the full details of. At the end of the day a teenager was shot several times and killed by a police officer. Only time and the facts will tell if it was justified or not.

Finally, for the those talking about Black on Black crime. It is a epidemic that needs to be addressed. However, I find it interesting that certain groups and media outlets only seem to spotlight it when instances like this occur. They don't talk about it the rest of the year, but then bring it up to counter investigations of this sort. I have a feeling it is because it is out of sight and out of mind for them because it (black on black crime) is not occurring in their neighborhoods. I sure hope people are not using the epidemic of Black on Black crime to somehow suggest there should not be full attention on finding out if this was a justified shooting or not.

Law Enforcement Officials Admit Officer Wilson Fired at Michael Brown as He Ran Away

Story continues to develop.

You are more likely to be killed by someone of the same race, black on black is 90% and white on white is 84% and interracial makes up about 14%. The misuse of power is the issue, its greater than Mike Brown it's Ezell Ford who was shot in a Wal-mart, the Jordan Davis that was killed for loud music at the gas station and the perpetrator was jailed for attempted murder for shooting at the car not killing an innocent teen where no drugs or guns were involved on their behalf or the Jeremey Lake incident in Tulsa where a Police officer killed his daughters boyfriend in his own front yard with the wife as an accomplice. I don't agree with the riots and looting but i do get the agitation with the things that are going on, I do empathize with the situation and sometimes wonder could that happen to me, but the weird thing is i don't really see that happening here, call it ignorance but I don't, yeah we may have a racist past and a quasi segregated school system but I don't feel threatened or unsafe hopefully our country can attain some form of peace after this blows over.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required.
