Micheal Brown, Trayvons and the guy in Baton Rouge got what they had coming.


This one was bullshite. The guy had no record, had a job, was with his family, had a license for the gun. Cop should be in jail right now.

The jury saw more evidence than any of us and made a unanimous decision.

But the guy should be in jail, huh?

Wrong.

I agree that Mike Brown had it coming. He was a thug POS and attacked the cop.

Idk enough about Sterling and Martin as people to say they "had it coming". But their actions and reactions to their situations definitely led directly to their deaths and they could have prevented it by acting civilized.


I will say for Martin that him and Zimmerman are equally at fault for Martin's death. Zimmerman was a bigger POS IMO and he "had it coming" more IMO. He had no business harassing Trayvon, but Trayvon also reacted like a thug by running and then attacking Zimmerman, which ultimately is what got him killed when he could've just cooperated and gone home, possibly even turn the legal tables on Zimmerman.




Castille on the other hand, from everything we know for fact did everything right. He could not have possibly done anything different to prevent getting shot and dying after that traffic stop was initiated. I'm sure the cop made a mistake and is very remorseful. I highly doubt any cops go out looking to murder black people, or even simply harass black people like BLM would have you believe.... But any citizen without a badge would at the very least being heading to jail for manslaughter in this situation. And cops should be held responsible the same way anybody else would be.

Cops have a tough job... This THUG was going or his gun.... Good for the cop...

Why would he tell the cop he had a gun first, as is the legal duty of a concealed carry permit holder, and then try to shoot the cop?

Do you have a better system? The guy was charged. There was a trial. The jury unanimously voted not guilty. What is your solution?

He wad reaching for the wallet. How do you know where the gun was. As somebody said to me earlier in the thread, "we're" you there first-hand to see? Because the cop thought he saw one after already being paranoid doesn't make it so.

And the cop walked up to the car gun already drawn, ready to shoot. Did he magically see this gun that was allegedly in the waistband from the seat of his patrol car? Maybe if he had walked up to the car without his finger already on the trigger he could have had a split second to process what he was seeing and make an informed decision instead of just reacting and pulling the trigger.

The jury was most likely overwhelmingly white. Jury trials are a farce. Most lawyers will you tell cases are won and lost during jury selection.

Jury selection got OJ acquitted.

Do you have a better system? Should we let the BLM mob decide?

Also, two of the jurors were black.

I've made my feelings clear, but this blocking streets, especially interstates, can not stand.
