Darren Wilson's Side of the Story

[Tom Joad]

Zeke is so desperate for human attention that he is even responding to "message deleted"

[Zeke]

No.

I just acknowledge that you only do that when you realize your idiocy.

Sum? Miracles happen.

Mike Brown was murdered 6 months ago today.

Requiescat in pace

A strongarm robber assaulted a police officer, placed him in immediate peril of his life and was appropriately dealt with.

DONE DEAL.

As I predicted.

Sometimes John, we diminish our argument by using terms that don't really apply. Mike Brown was shot and killed for no reason 6 months ago.

Murder is a legal term. Nobody's a murderer unless and until a court of law identifies them as such. You may suggest it's semantics, but for one thing, there have been too many physicians providing legal services to the women of this country called "murderers" and too many of those actually murdered for it.

Ike you really must realize that women are poor weak creatures who do not know what is best for them so we men must make their decisions for them (sarcasm alert).

A strong accomplished woman scares the bejeepers out of the typical male.

It's just too bad that quite so many typical American males who are afraid of their women will beat their women to a pulp or choke the life out of them (like the suburban kitchen version of Danny Pantaleo), rather than just deal with their feelings of fear.

I can't tell you how often I had to emotionally and physically restrain myself from going across the room after one of these pathetic assholes who were assigned to my caseload. It was the hardest part of my job in those days.

Zeke unfortunately believes that events have no connection with anything else; they just float out in space divorced from all other reality and context. This is why Zeke strove to work in law enforcement, because he enjoyed the benefits that acting in a codified manner provided. Unfortunately, he found that bringing that entitled, codified manner home got him in all kinds of shit with his wife.

Here is another piece of legislation being pushed at the state house that will eventually get passed, thanks to Ferguson.

1. Big, inaccurate, stretch (at best).
2. Obey code = no fines.

Municipality voters pass the laws, obeying them shouldn't be too much to ask.

Those percentages are low considering many tax bases.

AND?

But I do enjoy being right and I OWNED "right" on Ferguson. That's not my fault.

I don't know how anyone can say I'm pompus, with you around. You blot out the sun.
