Maybe he did, maybe not. But that doesn't explain Wilson firing 3 shots at Brown's back as he ran Hoyt Nov 2014 #4

and Wilson had been like a five years old next to Hulk Hogan, as he claimed, he wouldn't be here to tell his side of the story.

that wiley kid managed to get his finger between the trigger and the hammer so the gun would'nt fire. Several times according to Wilson's account. WOW.

and 7 more after that.

Truthfully, if Brown had been shot at the car, assuming there really was a scuffle, I could kind of see a self defense claim. But once the unarmed teen began running away, there was no rationale for trying to shoot him in the back but hatred.
