Ya but, what did you think about the way Mike Brown acted in the store video?What did you think about the way Mike Brown acted in the store video?
The racists on this thread are the ones calling people names: that is why it is so easy to identify them. They may or may not be calling the other posters names, but they are definitely calling the black people names, especially the young man who was killed. And they are laughing about this young man's death and ridiculing him. It's just sickening. What such folks do is take the discussion down to the lowest common denominator (meaning: The most basic, least sophisticated level of taste, sensibility, or opinion among a group of people), which makes it impossible to actually have an intelligent, meaningful discussion.
I think it does not warrant a death sentence. We do not have video of the shooting and have conflicting witness descriptions of it. As I have said before, we need to have all the information come out in time, not jump to conclusions and not blindly accept anyone's testimony at this point. Not speculate, not be judge, jury and executioners for anyone involved. There needs to also be an intelligent response to the rioting instead of just racist name calling. If a community responds to an incident like this in such a way, there is far more going there than we see on the surface. But people who are racists just have one simple idea about it, and that idea is completely derogatory toward blacks. Racists don't think, they don't have to: they can justifiy everything through their skewed, racist perspective of reality.
