There are far too many DUmp threads and posts to bring over, but I can scarcely enjoy a good DUmp session anymore without seeing the following at every turn:
So what if Mike Brown robbed a store and roughed up the owner? That does not justify the death penalty.
While we can debate even that statement (spoiler alert: the clerk, being choked, would have been within legal rights to deflate Brown of his blood at that point), I need to
clarify something for the lurking DUmmies here. Because you assholes lurk, I know that you are either (a) curious, and/or (b) dissatisfied with the DUmp. This is for you:
The point is not that the robbery and assault deserved the 'death penalty,' The point is merely that because he proved, amply, that he was a violent brute who
believed he was entitled to steal and then assault a person who had the temerity to protest his theft, that he probably also felt entitled to Wilson's firearm.
At which point, Wilson compromised somewhat and allowed Brown to have several things that were inside his firearm, and therefore here we all are.
In case you missed the point: the robbery and assault merely proved Brown's propensity to be a thug, and along with the physical evidence, Wilson was deemed credible and
Brown was deemed dead.
I don't see why you DUmmies have such trouble understanding this. After all, you're STILL talking about Bush's DUI YEARS after he left office, arguing that it proved that he
was not fit to lead.
Likewise any number of things from Bush's past, including things that were conjured from thin air and which caused the delightful downfall of blowhard pseudo-Texan
Dan Rather.
Similarly, you howled that Romney's college pranks revealed a DEEP psychosis that not only disqualified him from the Presidency, but required jail time.
So, to summarize: a prank from 40 years ago is a perfect predictor of dangerous, antisocial behavior if it's a Republican, but a violent assault CAPTURED ON FILM JUST MINUTES BEFORE
has no bearing or relevance whatsoever if it's a hoodrat.
That, in a nutshell, is why you are DUmmies.
