MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #17

[Oceans]

Here it is. It was his friend, though, not his uncle:

Mr. Brown tended to use his size to scare away potential trouble, Mr. Lewis said.

“He’ll swell up like, ‘I’m mad,’ and you’ll back off,” he said.

Great! Thanks again!

I could not remember the exact words "swell up" as I pictured in my mind "blow up" like a balloon who gets bigger and bigger. It would be interesting to see how it looked like when MB got mad and did this.

:jail:

:judge:

Awesome. I'm standing :clap::clap::clap:

The jerk should be charged with domestic terrorism and whatever assets he has should be seized.

LOL. So they planned this shut down, and announced it everywhere? So the police were already there in force before it could happen? Is that what happened? because that is hysterical. bad planning to announce it on social media where police can read it.

I watched CNN again just now. The worker claims he talked to the policeman putting crime scene tape up and the policeman said they were leaving Brown's body in the street for evidence. I wonder if the workers were much closer than where they are seen standing so far away (at the truck) if they were close enough to talk to the LE putting tape up at scene?

And yet, according to Korg radio guy, tomorrow there is a big surprise planned by the protestors. He said it should be very interesting.

Are they really going to act out on 9/11? This is being run by Muslim activists. 9/11 is not a good day for them to puff up their chests, imo.:no:

That is extremely upsetting to me.

That was three years ago.

I wondered about the ref to the ten-yr anniversary of the attack. That 'splains it. LOL

Not just bad planning but seriously delusional to the point of dangerous. Even the Rev. Al Sharpton did a hasty moon walk in the opposite direction.

So they supposedly have something super secret planned for tomorrow, thats been kept off social media. Hopefully there are some undercovers operating, so LE can have a heads up.

Oh trust me. I know the difference between a good law abiding citizen and an ignorant belligerent and violent one...and it has nothing to do with the shade of skin. Nothing!
The shooting of Brown had absolutely nothing to do with race.

I so agree, Linda! But antagonists are working their rears off to make it into a racial issue. OMG, even

Failed highway shutdown and unruly crowd at city council made international headlines

The way they showed' his hands it looked more like the position a football player might use when he goes towards a tackle.

The way the guy used his arms made me think of someone saying you wanna piece of me. Confrontation.

 

[bettybaby00]

Id love a little demo of "swell up"

I imagine it looks similar to how he intimated that shopkeep.

And another niggling....I'm wondering if it wasn't Brown that at some point grabbed Wilson by the neck?

He grabbed the shopkeeper's neck area and neck grabbing was certainly on DJ's mind...he claimed Wilson grabbed Brown by the neck....but not a mark on Brown....

Interesting.....

I've had the same thought as well. Baden confirmed there were no marks whatsoever on MB, and another piece of DJs story was proven false. There would have been marks...not only bruising, but also possibly scratches/nail marks.

Not that I found his story to be very credible, but I have to wonder if he was describing how MB grabbed OW.

Looked that way to me too.

Not the way the organizers wanted this reported

Highway shutdown averted at Ferguson protests

A planned highway shutdown fell through Wednesday as a wall of officers in riot gear kept Ferguson police shooting protesters from walking onto Interstate 70 in a nearby St. Louis suburb during the late afternoon commute.

Concrete blocks, 4 counts assault of a law enforcement officer. Bet that's a serious charge with serious time attached.

SERIOUSLY, cops need to leave Ferguson.
The looters, rioters, street blockers are disgusting and are undeserving of LE protection imo.

I cannot believe folks had their babies out there- planning on stopping highway traffic- smh

(can someone please share instructions on how to post pics from twitter)

IMO there is always a snitch....you know...someone with a fine or warrant they want forgiven
