Mike Brown's Stepfather Arrested For Inciting a Riot in Ferguson? UPDATE: Story Is False

Michael Brown's stepfather, Louis Head, has been credited for starting a riot in Ferguson, MO after a Grand Jury refused to indict Officer Darren Wilson. Shortly after the Grand Jury's announcement, Head shouted to the mob of protestors, "Burn this Bitch Down!"

The National Report quotes the Ferguson DA:

“Mr. Head Is Directly Responsible For The Way This Event Panned Out And We Plan On Prosecuting Him To The Fullest Extent Of The Law.” Ferguson County DA, Dan Shaffer.

UPDATE:  The story appears to be false.  However, Lt. Governor Peter Kinder has called for the arrest of Louis Head for incitement to riot.  However, don't hold your breath.

Rich Lowry Gets It Right: Michael Brown Alone Is Responsible For His Own Death

From Politico, Rich Lowry sums up Ferguson and Brown's death in a short article.  He writes:

.... we don't try people for crimes they almost certainly didn't commit just to satisfy a mob that will throw things at the police and burn down local businesses if it doesn't get its way. If the grand jury had given into the pressure from the streets and indicted as an act of appeasement, the mayhem most likely would have only been delayed until the inevitable acquittal in a trial.

Justice Wins: No Indictment for Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson

The Grand Jury voted not to indict Darren Wilson for saving his own life from a rampaging cretin (Michael Brown).  The cretin's extended family then began burning down Ferguson and looting stores.  The only question is:  why weren't the looters shot dead in the act?  In days of old, looters were shot, and this dampened enthusiasm for it considerably.

My overall disgust with the black population has never been higher than it is today.  There is a large question in my mind as to whether their contribution to civilization is a net positive or a net negative.  I am leaning towards the latter.  Prejudice against blacks derives from blacks' bad behavior and bad attitudes, not to mention their raging racism against whites and everyone else.

Overall, blacks are the biggest bunch of fuck-ups on the planet:  over-pampered, over-apologized to, over rationalized, over excused.  Overall, I say.  There are always exceptions.

Some black witnesses to the Brown shooting told the truth to the Grand Jury about what happened.  They chose truth and justice over skin color.  They were responsible, part of the mortar holding the bricks of civilization together.  I wish there were more blacks like this.  Unfortunately, they are a minority within a minority.

Ferguson Decision Tonight?

The Grand Jury of Ferguson, Missouri has reached a decision:  to indict or not indict officer Darren Wilson on murder charges for shooting Michael Brown.  They are supposed to have a press conference at 5:30 PM, according to the Washington Post, when their decision will be announced.

It would be a real travesty of justice if an innocent cop, acting in self-defense, were indicted for "murder," for shooting a violent assailant.  However, in this country today, skin color trumps justice.  One may not shoot a member of the Sacred Other, no matter what the reason.  Like George Zimmerman, Wilson should just have accepted his fate in the name of civil rights, or diversity, or whatever.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of all this.  Ferguson white people, keep your powder dry.

A "No Indictment" for Officer Darren Wilson Appears Likely

An article in the New York Times has revealed that Officer Wilson reasonably feared for his life when he shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri two months ago.  Wilson said that Brown had pinned him in his police car and reached for Wilson's gun.  The gun was fired twice in the car (by whom is not clear), hitting Brown in the arm and the second shot missed.  Brown's blood on the gun and on the door panel of Wilson's car corroborates this.

The Times article made a big point out of saying that Wilson's version of events were different from those of Brown's partner-in-crime, Dorian Johnson, a thug with a record of lying to the police, and Brown's accomplice in the robbing of a convenience store just before Brown was shot.  The Times refers to Johnson as "Mr. Johnson," and treats his dubious version of events as credible.

Now the Black underclass in Ferguson are promising that "the whole country will burn" if Wilson is not indicted.  Of course, that's just a lot of bravado and braggadocio from ghetto trash.  For their sake, I do hope they are wrong.  I personally am quite fed up with the Black population's crime rate, anti-white racism, and extortionate threats of violence unless justice is perverted to favor their hatreds and delusions.

And I am armed.

Bring It, Jamiliah Naheed

Bring it.  The justice system will not, should not, cannot be influenced by extortion from the black underclass mob.

Report: Officer Wilson "Beaten Very Severely" Before Shooting Michael Brown

Fox News reports:

Darren Wilson, the Ferguson, Mo., police officer whose fatal shooting of Michael Brown touched off more than a week of demonstrations, suffered severe facial injuries, including an orbital (eye socket) fracture, and was nearly beaten unconscious by Brown moments before firing his gun, a source close to the department's top brass told FoxNews.com.

“The Assistant (Police) Chief took him to the hospital, his face all swollen on one side,” said the insider. “He was beaten very severely.”

The poor sweet "Gentle Giant" fairy-tale continues to unravel.

Michael Brown's Partner In Crime Recants: Admits Brown Went For Officer's Gun

Dorian Johnson, Michael Brown's partner in crime, started the massive riots in Ferguson by lying to the media.  He claimed that Officer Wilson grabbed Brown by the throat from the open window of his police cruiser, then pulled out his pistol and shot Brown.  As Brown backed away, he raised his arms in surrender and said "Don't shoot!"  Wilson then allegedly felled Brown with a flurry of gunshots.

But Johnson lied about the whole thing.  He now admits that Brown went for the officer's gun.  That Brown attacked Wilson is beyond dispute, now that serious damage to Wilson's orbital eye socket (from Brown's fist) has been revealed.

How much more truth will Johnson reveal?  Methinks he will sing like a canary to avoid jail.

My Rant Against Black Racism: Worth Re-Reading

Not long ago, another "white" (actually, a Hispanic) shot and killed a black teenager who was attacking him. The teenager was Trayvon Martin, and his targeted victim was George Zimmerman.  The left attempted to legally lynch Zimmerman for saving his own life from the violent black teenager.  The vitriol from the left, both black and white, was massive.  However, the local police had concluded that Zimmerman acted in self-defense, and refused to charge him with a crime.  Nevertheless, Zimmerman faced a trial for murder, brought by a leftist district attorney, in what was clearly a political trial.  Zimmerman was acquitted.

That was a tipping point for me, and I let both blacks and liberals have it, in one of my best rants of all time.  Rereading it now, it could easily apply to the Michael Brown case.  Here are my salient points:

• In my humble opinion, blacks are the most racially-conscious group in the United States, and in fact, the most racist. Whenever a crime involves a black, the black populace will support him or her, no matter what they did to their non-black victims. Black people, as a whole, have no empathy or sympathy for the non-black victims of black crime. To most black people, the color of their skin is all that matters; it is their one great unifying principle. Every other consideration is secondary.

• Trayvon Martin had it coming, not because he was black, but because he was a violent punk who picked the wrong victim. Many of us non-blacks are reaching a tipping point in our tolerance of black dysfunction and black attitudes. Are we biased against blacks? Hell yes, how could we be otherwise? Though most of us will never admit it, white prejudice is justified by black crime and black attitudes. Our discrimination is rational, because we desire to preserve our physical safety and remain untouched by black violence and crime. That to us is more important than mouthing socially polite inanities about racial equality and the evils of profiling. For those who would survive, profiling is entirely rational and justified.

• So what's the solution?  There are no simple answers, but one of the most necessary and important things we can do is to tell the truth. Blacks are solely responsible for their own bad attitudes, poor life choices, dysfunctional families and criminal acts, as well as the aftermath (like getting shot while attacking someone). As a society, we must stop providing them with cover, with rationalizations, with excuses for their bad behavior. Institutionalized anti-white racism must cease, including that by President Obama, the universities, and the media.

Update:  A related article is posted at American Thinker:  Black Racism Is Politically Correct.  This article, which I just now read, makes the same point I make above:  much of the solution is to tell the uncomfortable truth.  Kevin Jackson writes:

White Liberals do NOT help the black community, because they won't tell black people the truth. As Thomas Sowell said about truth,

"When you want to help people, you tell the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell people what they want to hear."

America will change when Americans have the guts to tell black people the truth.

"A Dozen Witnesses Corroborate Officer Wilson's Story": Mike Brown Rushed Officer Wilson

A reporter for the Blaze says she talked to the Ferguson Police, who told her that "more than a dozen witnesses" have corroborated Officer Wilson's version of events.  Michael Brown rushed Officer Darren Wilson (and my added comment follows), forcing Wilson to fire for his own safety.

Another black victimhood tale of woe and racism is starting to unravel.

Note to unarmed black teenager druggies:  if you don't want to get shot, don't assault white folks carrying guns.

What The Ferguson Protester Really Meant (Photoshop)

Once again, through the magic of Photoshop, the hidden meaning in an iconic news photo has been made clear.  See the original, untranslated photo here.

Autopsy Report on Michael Brown: Shot Six Times From The Front

A private autopsy on the body of Michael Brown shows that Brown was shot six times.  However, four of those shots hit him in the right arm, and were nonfatal wounds.  This would explain why the officer kept firing as Brown continued to advance.  Brown was finally shot in the head twice before he went down.

All gunshots were to the front of Brown, laying to rest the rumor that he was shot in the back.  This fact also lends credence to the claim that Brown was rushing the officer when he was shot.

Two more autopsies are planned.

Ferguson

This past week some black teenager, one Michael Brown, was shot dead in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri by a white cop.  The teenager was unarmed, or so they say.   I did see a picture of Brown laying face down in the street, dead.  I couldn't help but feel sorry for him, he was just a kid.  This was a tragic outcome, whatever the facts are.

Why did the cop shoot Brown?  I do not know.  No reason has been clearly set forth in the media.  Angry black mobs are now looting stores in Ferguson and claiming that Michael Brown was "executed."  I doubt that the officer drew down on Brown and pumped him full of lead for no reason.  Was the officer in fear of his life?  A reasonable fear of his life would be the only acceptable reason for using deadly force; otherwise, the cop should be indicted.  However, I don't know what happened, and it seems few people do.

Meanwhile, a store video cam taped a scene where Michael Brown apparently shoplifted some cheap cigars, and pushed the store clerk away when the latter objected to the theft.  That, of course, is no reason to kill Brown, but no one is claiming that it was.  It does show a young man breaking the law, making it clear that Michael Brown was not an angel.  

Maybe when the black underclass in Ferguson stops rioting, the Police Department will have time to study the event and give us some facts.  Did Brown attempt to grab the officer's gun?  Did Brown charge the officer before he was shot?  Was Brown under the influence of drugs that made him paranoid and aggressive?  We need facts, and I will withhold my judgment on the case until we get some.

UPDATE:   There is growing evidence that Michael Brown was shot while bum-rushing the police officer, running at full speed.  See the Gateway Pundit article (hat tip to Sarah) here.  If so, the officer did have reason to fear for his life.  There is also a cell phone recording where bystanders are discussing the shooting immediately after it happened, and they also indicate Brown rushed the officer.  It appears that the tale of poor Brown raising his arms in surrender, only to be executed, is a fairy-tale.  I suspect Michael Brown was high on some mind-altering drug, and that would explain his irrational and self-destructive behavior.
