This has puzzled me for days now. I'm certain the police have interviewed him, but why hasn't the media ?
Has he went in hiding out of fear ?
With the 24/7 coverage of this story, it would seem logical that this guy would be interviewed, to find out what he said to Brown, what was Brown's attitude, what other words were possibly exchanged ?
A rookie cub reporter should have figured this out, the public wants to know, and new info could come from an interview. What the fuck is wrong with these people, not one of them has thought to go question this guy ?
This is simply bizarre.
If the guy is not available, at least mention that in your reporting for gods sake. Is there a gag order out ?
This just doesn't make damn bit of sense.

He has already been punished once, why would he go back for more?
What the clerk had to say.
Ferguson Market & Liquor in the small town of Ferguson, Missouri is no different. In the case of this local market, fear of being murdered by their customers drives their business decisions—including deciding to not report being robbed to the police.
Likewise the Ferguson police decision to withhold for nearly a week the name of the police officer they say shot Michael Brown, Darren Wilson, in order to give him time to go in to hiding from the Ferguson lynch mob.
KDSK of St. Louis reported an attorney for the owners of the market held a press conference Friday in which he wanted Ferguson Market & Liquor’s customers to know that the store did not snitch to the police about Brown robbing the store, nor did they offer the store’s surveillance video of the robbery to police.
The Washington Post reported Sunday that the store manager is terrified of being murdered by the store’s customers.
“The convenience store where the robbery took place was boarded up, but open for business on Friday. A store manager, who declined to give his name, said he fears for his life and pleaded with reporters not to suggest that he called police.
““It’s very dangerous,” he said. “They kill us if they think we are responsible. People don’t understand that.””

Ugh... Why would anyone open a business in that environment?!?
I guess I would have to assume that 'most' pay for their items, the store owners must just plan for 'theft' losses in their budgeting... How terrible.
However the media forwarded that it was the QT and so they burned it and wrote that on the wall. Later, after the Sunshine Request stuff came out it was discovered that the name blocked out was FAR too long to be QT and it was then forwarded (again by the media) that it was Ferguson Market ~ the looters/rioters eventually got that one as well.

Because there are already accusations of character assassination showing the store's video. An interview would only exaccerbate those charges.
Not sure what you think you're responding to me about on this honestly. I was just adding the facts that have come out to the ongoing discussion about why the store owner's were not interviewed - aka they already saw the QT get burnt down and didn't want to do an interview that would link their place to the situation. Unfortunately the media figured it out with the Sunshine Request Package and their place got looted anyway.
Fair point. Looking through posts I'd assume I hit reply intending to post quickly and forgot to delete your thing.
Sorry.
No worries. I only hold grudges against people who lie/attempt to lie to me
Really? So if I told you I'll lie if it suits me, would you bear a grude or not (liar's paradox.)
hmmm... a bit off topic but I do happen to enjoy such mental exercises in spoken/written language:
I suppose it depends on how we are going to define 'grudge' - if you tell me you would lie to suit yourself, then I would no longer afford you a reasonable assumption of 'not' lying, and therefore I would more readily discount your statements far easier than someone else's. This is a perhaps non-contemporary definition for grudge, but it is a quick and easy term I could use instead of saying, "I am ill-disposed to believe your statement." (My boycott of our only local McD's for over 20 years because of a lie on the part of their manager, would be a more contemporarily defined "grudge")
That said, I would most likely say "I am not inclined to believe you" and forsake the historic reasoning inferred by the use of the word 'ill-disposed' as it is an easier understood compromise of non-confrontational speech than to say flat out "I do not believe you." Of course that might well depend on my mood, I do admit to suffering from occasional lapses in tolerance and deploying more openly hostile communication; at which point I might say "You are a liar" heh
Glad you enjoyed the diversion.
Store owner is smart. He stayed quiet. Too many "gentle giants" round there.
