Congratulations Finn!

You get the Edmund Burke award!

Or for dumb asses to buy into a silly meme without a shred of evidence to build their movement or support a cause.

It brings to mind Dubya's WMD claims.

Hey, careful. I totally bought into the uranium yellow cake.
Come to think of it, you want us all to believe Wilson like the nation believed Dubya. Wierd logic if you ask me.

Hey, let us take a second look at the narrative that Wilson did not shoot at Brown as he was fleeing.

The first evidence that Brown was shot at from behind is the bullet fired by Wilson that missed everything and lodged, without deformation, into a second story apartment wall by a entry into the apartment on the RIGHT, well along the pathway that Brown tried to flee.

The second contentious evidence is the bullet that struck Brown in the right arm and fractured his ulna as he fled.

SHOT COULD HAVE COME FROM BACK


During his announcement of the grand jury finding of no true bill, McCulloch sharply criticized the inconsistent eyewitness accounts. He called out one particular claim that Brown was shot in the back as he was running away.

“However once the autopsy findings were released showing that Michael Brown had not sustained any wound to the back of his body, no additional witnesses made such a claim.” JUST DORIAN JOHNSON, THE WITNESS CLOSEST TO THE DEADLY SCENE.

But there was no evidence that Wilson did not fire at Brown’s back and miss. And, in fact, one expert testified one of the wounds could have come while Brown was running away.

The forensic pathologist for the federal government, a doctor based at Dover Air Force Base, testified that one gunshot on Brown’s body could have come from behind. It was the shot to his right forearm that fractured the ulna, one of the long bones in the forearm.

“So if you are asking me could a shot from his backside produce that, I say yes,” the pathologist said. “Because as you are running, if your arm is down like this, that surface, that very surface of your arm is exposed posteriorly. So a bullet coming from behind you could cause that injury.”

Asked if it could have come from the front side, the pathologist said, “Yes, depending on how your arm is.”

Yes and Finn's analogy was dumbfounding.

Yes, you are seldom correct but quite a diversion.

Thanks, I was worried about that.

I expect baggers like Whelly and Zero to have fallen for that yellow cake scam, but not you.

Who can forget (or forgive) what the "patriots" did to Valerie Plame.
