When a criminal creates the circumstances of their own demise at the hands of the just, they deserve no ones tears.

I think homer simpson and barney gumble could of hatched a more competent plan, sorry but it is pitiful at what passes for criminals these days! One pipe bomb and tried to buy it off feds, it laughable!

I think the family knows he was a thugs.

I remember the mom, whose son was killed by a permit holder after pistol whipping and robbing an older woman at cub in south minneapolis, was on the news saying what a little angel he was, shortly after she was arrested for being a part of his crimes.

I have gotten more than a tad tired of the lines, he was turning his life around, he was a little angel, etc... After watching the video of brown robbing the convenience store how could they not know? I would love to see his criminal record (including the juvenile one) so that we can see what a little angel he truly was.

Oh those cigars he stole tend to be used to make blunts...

My favorite response to the, "He was an angel" lament regarding the demise of one who did wrong is reminding them that Lucifer was an angel too. That tends to shut them up pretty fast, even if an avowed liberal/Progressive who does not believe in any religion.

My favorite part of that story.....

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the men had wanted to buy more of the “bombs,” but had to wait until one of their girlfriends’ Electronic Benefit Transfer card had more money.

‘Shut It Down': Dozens Of Ferguson Protesters Interrupt Black Friday Shopping At Wal-Mart, Target
http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/2014/11/28/ ... rt-target/

What is the idea behind this, lets hurt businesses that provide jobs? Lets have people pay more and be poorer? Lets move the protests to a warm store because they are cold and there are no cameras at the court house anymore?

Kind a fuzzy on this, but if true you have to laugh.
They feed on their own and then want they want protection, or don't they?

ABC is saying Darren Wilson has resigned.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/darren-wilson- ... d=27254501
Darren Wilson has resigned from the Ferguson, Mo., Police Department in wake of fatal shooting of Michael Brown, his attorney said today.

Wilson's resignation comes five days after a grand jury investigating the Aug. 9 shooting declined to indict the police officer. He has been on administrative leave since the shooting.

One of his attorneys, Neil Bruntrager, said the resignation is effective immediately.

I understand why, but the protesters will not care as they seem to want blood, and it might encourage some.

I have to think that the publishing of his address and the protection of his family, which imo, is a better reason might have figured in some.

The lives sharpten and friends ruin to stay employed and in power...

Wilson resigning does not surprise me one bit.

He's got a target on his head now and being in uniform would only make his life that much shorter.

Any bets on what part of the country he shows up in? Pretty sure his life in Ferguson is pretty well over.

Not everyone in Ferguson was lootin' and burnin'...a few were protecting. (roll eyes added be me)

http://www.inquisitr.com/1638935/black- ... son-riots/

A group of black Ferguson residents armed with high-powered rifles stood outside a white-owned business in the city during recent riots, protecting it from rioters that looted and burned other businesses.

One of the residents, a 6-foot-8 man named Derrick Johnson, held an AR-15 assault rifle :roll: as he stood in a pickup truck near that store’s entrance. Three other black Ferguson residents joined Johnson in front of the store, each of them armed with pistols.

In a city torn apart by racial tensions, the fact that black residents took up arms to defend a white-owned store made headlines.

The men said they felt indebted to the store’s owner, Doug Merello, who employed them over the course of several years.

It's Sunday and these animals are still rioting. The race pimps (Sharpton, Jackson, Holder, BHO) should be ashamed of themselves for inciting and propagating this violence.
Donald Trump got more fat women moving in one day than Michelle Obama did in eight years.
