Time for Jesse and Al to tuck their shameless tails between their legs and scuttle off back to nicely-appointed race hustling headquarters. But maybe they can grab a free big screen first. FOR JUSTICE!
Powerline:
Yesterday, after reciting what appears to the Darren Wilson’s account of his shooting of Michael Brown, I wondered whether any witnesses would back Wilson’s version which, I imagined, would be contradicted by Brown’s friends. Now comes a tweet from Christine Byers of the St. Louis Post Dispatch that “more than a dozen witnesses have corroborated cop’s version of events in shooting.” [Edit: she now says the Tweet doesn’t meet publication standards; but that’s a walkback, not an admission of poor sourcing]
I don’t know whether that’s true, but it would help explain why Wilson has not been charged, as the mob is demanding.
If Byers is correct, some interesting questions arise. Assuming that the “white cop killed innocent black for no reason” narrative implodes, will the angry mob go home? Or will it become even more incensed, as seemed to happen when the video of Brown’s robbery was released? Or will the facts make no difference at all, such that the protesting and looting continue until the mob gets tired or is forcibly halted.
I’m betting on choice number three.
Of course. Because the brutal truth is the majority of those “protesting” don’t give a good goddamn about Michael Brown. They’re there to break shit, steal stuff, and take it to “the Man.” The fact that the “politically active” “social justice crowd” is so tied to progressivism — as is a media that has helped fuel what was a tragedy into its current state of travesty — and so are themselves The Man, and not the counterculture warriors they so desperately want to be, is lost on these ideologically blinded dullards.
Want to be really edgy? Pretend the cop may have actually been justified in the shooting, especially given his broken orbital socket and the fact that the “unarmed teen” appeared, by many accounts, to be charging at him like a 300 lb bull elk.
Because that’s like, Hunter Thompson-type stuff right there — not the easy task of siding with the race baiters and the perpetual grievance groups that can’t seem to go a day without looking for some high profile victimization to exploit. And failing miserably most of the time.
Did not meet standards
Example of the Dispatch covering up for their narrative, or did a reporter just report 2nd hand what she heard from someone else? (The latter is what the naysayers are already saying).
I’m still betting on the former.
My take on the Byers Tweet is that as their police reporter, but on leave since March, she learned from a trusted source that a dozen witnesses corroborated the cop’s version but that she has not gotten another source to say so. Probably because she is on leave, not actively researching the story and just got a tip from a source.
geoffb,
I believe you’re right. But the propaganda mill is now attacking her story. Narratives must not change, you see.
Ferguson is super-close to wheres the mighty Missouri River flows into the mighty mighty Mississippi River
this symbolizes the power of unity!
there’s a park there where you can go and stand amongst the confluence
someday if i become a midwestern pikachu i shall go stand there, and it will be a very moving experience
Holder’s Statement on Ferguson.
There’s a place of common flooding come the springtime. Mostly on account of the rivers are clogged with the decaying corpses of the black peoples the local police murder and toss into the flow for to disappear the bodies. Thing is, the local police are so stupid they forget to attach the concrete boots.
Away down yonder to N’walins.
And beyond, even.
Bon voyage, bigmuddyfoot!
Loan us a tonsil, Johnny!
Give’m a break, sdferr — that much concrete gets expensive.
We fired our cannon ’til the barrel melted down
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we lit the powder off the gator lost his mind
Thank God Jackson didn’t order turtle grabbing.
In defense of the ethnic cleansing police in the states upstream the Missouri and Mississippi rivers’ confluence who’ve very nearly completed their tasks ridding their locales of the negro — yes, we’re looking at you Montana, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa — they suffer shortages of the concretes for sinking purposes, using the bulk of what little concretes they’ve got building their bunkers against the coming racial wars and zombie apocalypsifications.
In S.D. a lot of that concrete went into building dams for to make sure the waters rolled deeply enough for the ethnic cleansing to procede unnoticed.
It’s the Foold of the Century all over again.
Around here, we have another name for “ethnic cleansing police.” We call it “February.”

To be “fair,” “independent,” and “transparent” he will meet privately with them just as he had a private phone conference with various activists.
Also from the link.
Is it ever possible, since he lost weight, for Al Sharpton to not look like someone did a bad Photoshop of his face on his body?
Is Holder going to meet privately with the officer involved?
Any guesses?
I’m sure your guess is as good as mine, and that they are both, “No.”
If you were the officer, would you meet with Holder?
Yes. i would.
They won’t let you bring your service weapon, baton or taser into the meeting, Carin.
on the other hand, you can bring along your driver’s license as a form of identification to get in the building
Fair, independent, and transparently partisan press.
Gotta make sure that all the actual targets of this whole affair get the message and learn to behave appropriately from now on.
