It's sad that so many people have already made up their minds regarding Wilson's guilt or innocence based on nothing but cable news talking points, talk radio and internet gossip. For these folks, even a video tape contradicting their presumptions wouldn't change their vote if they were on the jury.

Regardless, he has to prepare now for the worse possible outcome. He needs the money and he needs it now.

Holder didn't bring the DOJ into town to do a meet and greet.

I don't understand the "regardless" part. If he provides a plausible, open, reasonable, consistent story...then, he will either not be charged OR...at THAT point...be worthy of the support / donations.

To do so now seems a bit precipitous to me. I will try my best to be an open-minded, honest listener to the story. But, to date..the police have been slow to provide their side, and then not very open about it.


I do NOT assume he did anything wrong. But, I'm not jumping to his defense either.


Folks are free to do with their money as they wish. but, it does seem oddly early

Well, you can begin with the liberal MSM. CNN ran with and pushed the gentle giant narrative immediately...pretty much fanned the flames vectored toward Wilson being guilty.

Understand BHP, however without the lead time to generate the funds, with a potential two legal attcks he can and likely would burn through any funds he has with the quickness.

And, why would I care if he "burned through any funds" IF i were to come to the conclusion that he did WRONG?


What i am saying is there is NOT enough info (for me) to come to EITHER conclusion. I will not support in words or funds until I have decided what I think he did was reasonable.

Again, it appears as though it very well may have been. But, it is incumbent on him to explain to my satisfaction what happened and what actions he took before I "support" him.

That he "needs the money" means nothing to me absent that determination.

Again I am not disagreeing with you, simply stating why generating funds now is a prudent course of action.

It's sad the money this guy may have to burn through to prove his innocence. And that's what he will be doing at this point.

Again did Holder jet into town?

It would be fricking idiotic to not prepare for the potential of a political witch hunt versus even handed application of the law.

i know why HE wants the funds. I don't know why anyone that does not know / love him would want to donate to the cause at this point. Too many questions not answered as yet.

You pro-Darren Wilson folks are just as ridiculous as the pro-Michael Brown folks, in that facts and evidence mean nothing to you. To the Michael Brown folks, if McCulloch doesn't prosecute and convict Wilson, he's a racist. To the Darren Wilson folks, if Holder prosecutes Wilson, he's racist.

Link to anywhere that I am "pro" Wilson?

So because I state it's a smart move by this guy somehow I am blindly in his fricking corner.

Jet into town? What the hell does that mean? Are you saying that Holder is a racist just for going to Florida and Missouri? Do you think certain parts of the country should be declared Holder-free zones whenever a White man kills a Black man?
