So what we have here is more right wing bullshit trying to lie their way through this

[ForgoTheConsequence]

1. The firefighter who posted it has a history of racism, it appears.

Earlier this year, more than two dozen firefighters were disciplined for participating in a firehouse beer party in 1990 that was caught on videotape and released to the media seven years later. On the videotape, firefighters guzzle beer, drop their pants and sing a song that includes racial slurs.

Cosgrove declined to say when the suspensions occurred or to name the officers, though sources familiar with the probe and union documents identify them as Kevin Sampson and Kevin O'Grady. Sampson and O'Grady also were named in the EEOC complaint.

2. The conservatives are pushing a number of attempts to justify the shooting of Michael Brown

These fake stories are getting silly and sad

3. Sad yes, but not silly, it is dangerous, because there is a certain populous who believes it

[arcane1]

7. It's amazing how desperate they are to make this cop a hero.

Even from a racist perspective, it seems like they are trying TOO hard. What's the deal?

[shraby]

4. Wilson's ears stuck way out from his head. Couldn't they at least

find someone who looked more like Wilson?

5. So Is HuffPo reading DU?

6. Its amazing

How right wingers will believe anything as long as it fits their agenda. If this was what Wilson looked like they would have been parading him in front of the media while Browns body was still laying on the street.

8. Once again, for the kids that came in late...........

Jim McNeil crashed last week while riding at his friend's house and broke bones in his forehead, cheek, nose, jaw and eye socket. Yeah, he's gnarly! Get well soon bro. We'll let Jim tell ya what happened...

Jim McNeil, alias "Jumpin' Jimmy", is one of the best all-round FMX riders in the industry. With over nine years of experience as a professional rider, the Arizona native has traveled all over the world and is quick to adapt to new set ups and surroundings, meaning he has the ability to throw down tricks in new locations and in front of huge crowds just as if he was chilling back home in his yard where he learned to ride at the tender age of six.

You do have to admit, wrong person or not, the picture nicely fits Josie's tale, the accepted right wing account of the story.
If you go back and look at the time line for the adventures of George Zimmerman, the timing is also just about right.
Of course the RW will believe this, after all they have been waiting for it.

9. I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell ya.

[Hoyt]

10. If Wilson had given a damn about that neighborhood, he would not have blasted away with bullets

going everywhere putting innocent people in danger. I doubt a policeman can justify that many errant shots in a high density neighborhood. And, that assumes there was any legitimate justification for shooting Brown in the first place, which I doubt.

[cwydro]

11. doesn't even look remotely like him.

Surely even the racists can see that.

12. I doubt it
