What happened at the store? The robbery that the store said never happened? Or the robbery Darren Wilson had no idea about at the time?

Thread Closed...As Usual
Name Calling
So we just gone turn c-o-o-n into the new n-i-g-g-e-r or f-a-g-g-o-t over here at TheColi huh? I guess we trying to see how many times we can fit it into dialogue within everyday life. Resort to name calling as a dismissive tactic and simultaneously bring down another black man with a derogotory term when we're only 12% of the fukking population instead of agreeing to disagree and focusing on what we have in common instead of what we don't. But wait, if that's the tactic, doesn't that make the one's calling people c-o-o-n's the REAL c-o-o-n's?
Taking Accountability
Officer Wilson's case was won the moment Mike Brown's parents decided not to take the ammo out of the hands of the legal system, media and everybody else by taking accountability for where they might have failed their son. I know ya'll like to use buzz words around here a lot and 'victim-blaming' is what you might call this, but fukk you in advance if you don't understand the importance of accountability and wanna try to roast me for that. You'd just be continuing the cycle.
-Mike Brown wasn't buying all them boxes of 'rillo's for himself. What you don't think some of them was gone be twisted up by his mom's and stepdad? Hell they might've even sent him to the store
-Is he "just a kid" cuz he's dead, or was he "just a kid" when he went to make that purchase as well? If he's just a kid his parents have the right to tell him to pull up his britches, put on some damn shoes, stop posting questionable pics on social media, etc. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, either way whether we think the time is right or not the parents had the first opportunity at addressing these things and taking some of the sting off some of the stuff we later found out.
Not saying it's wrong or right or justifies murder, just saying these are the types of things that Crump and the family allowed the media to exploit because "he was just a kid and it shouldn't matter and he still didn't deserve to die"
Perception
I understand no one has the right to tell you to pull your pants up, or turn your music down, or not to perpetuate any stereotype that may lead to a disagreement that potentially turns into an altercation where one feels as though their life may be threatened. But at the same time, lets be reasonable and do what's in our best interest. If it's in your best interest to smell like weed everywhere you go, then by all means do that. If it's in your best interest not to smile or be engaging in public settings, then by all means do that. And I say this not to sound like I'm trying to impress white people or make white people feel comfortable, but nikka I'm trying to impress my Grandmama and make her feel comfortable!
No Excuses
-"They don't respect me so I don't respect them" is not a valid excuse
-"So and so robbed a bank and didn't get shot, so why such and such get shot" is not a valid excuse
-"Even though I choose to do adult things, I'm still a kid" is not a valid excuse
We gotta own up to our own shyt and stop making comparisons every damn time we feel we're treated unfairly otherwise you never get to the root of the issue because every situation is unique and deserves more unique attention than just to be compared to something or someone else. Mike Brown ain't no damn hero and we need to stop treating him as such. He was a misguided youth who got caught up in an adult situation. That doesn't justify what Officer Wilson did, cuz if anything he was the exact opposite, an adult who responded and reacted like a child.

There's more judgement in this thread for the dead victim who can't tell his side of the story than for the living perpetrator who has people defending his.
N#ggas are really in this this thread acting as if Mike Brown is responsible for Darren Wilson's actions. Even if Brown had committed robbery, which is sketchy at best given the sources and context, THAT DOES NOT WARRANT THE DEATH PENALTY. And Darren Wilson played judge, jury and executioner on August 9th when he stopped that young man.
And for everyone using the robbery issue.....DARREN WILSON KNEW NOTHING OF A ROBBERY WHEN HE STOPPED MICHAEL BROWN, SO THAT POINT IS 110% MOOT AND VOID. An alleged crime cannot be part of the reason if the officer didn't even know about it when he committed the act.
People talking about opinions but need some facts.

Quote where P justifies his murder by mentioning what happened at the store. This interview has been out for a hot minute now, even before the decision and I read through it a few times, he says nothing of the sort.
You're strawmanning right now looking for something to be offended about, it's an INTERVIEW he's going to speak his mind about the entirety of the situation not just some of it
It makes no sense.Didn't the store owner confirm several times that Michael Brown never robbed his store?
Didn't the Chief of Police for Ferguson confirm via nationally televised press conference that Darren Wilson had no idea of any "robbery" when he approached Michael Brown?
And people are still trying to use the "but he shoplifted" line?
I don't get it

Using that same backwards logic, would people claim that the Virginia Tech shooter was justified because there's a chance he killed some people who smoked weed or did some suspect things? Of course not.

Im not reading between nothing just stating my opinion by what I see and hear that's all. Its ok that you don't know but I know why I say the stuff I say.
Pharell is finished..he has an unrealistic idealised romantic view of the world. Its like he truly believes the world can be one and we can all live in peace, and that prejudice doesnt exist. He is extremely naive.
