In reply to the discussion: Michael Brown suspect in robbery before he was shot to death, police say [View all]calimary
(90,172 posts)JustAnotherGen upthread called bullshit? Certainly! But "Affluenza" is the BIG BULLSHIT call here. Well, ONE of 'em, anyway. That kid who got off for "Affluenza" should be IN JAIL. For mowing people down and killing them. In JAIL - at best! (Um... that case sounded like first-degree with special circumstances to me, but again, I'm not a lawyer as I asserted elsewhere here yesterday.)
But you get shot for stealing a few little cigars? And you're left bleeding and dying in the street? Without anybody even checking to see if you can be resuscitated? For stealing a pack of little cigars? Excuse me? And are we absolutely sure it was Michael Brown in those store photos? And was he armed? If you had to shoot, why didn't you aim for shooting him in the leg? And if he turns around and throws his hands up (empty hands, too) you keep shooting??????????? And they couldn't have been forthcoming with ANY of this - maybe Sunday or Monday?????????? (Not that it makes any difference, really, stealing a pack of cigarillos, alleged thief is un-armed?)
I want to bite something, too, bravenak.
