Darren Wilson's Side of the Story

[Tom Joad]

Here is a sampling of some of the 100-page report's most scathing findings:

RACIST E-MAILS

A May 2011 email stated -- “An African-American woman in New Orleans was admitted into the hospital for a pregnancy termination. Two weeks later she received a check for $5,000. She phoned the hospital to ask who it was from. The hospital said, ‘Crimestoppers.’”

A Nov. 2008 email read -- “President Barack Obama would not be President for very long because “what black man holds a steady job for four years.”

An email described a man seeking to obtain “welfare" for his dogs because they are “mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can’t speak English and have no frigging clue who their Daddies are.” (June 2011)

An April 2011 email depicted President Obama as a chimpanzee.

A Dec. 2011 email included jokes based on offensive stereotypes about Muslims

An Oct. 2011 email included a photo of a bare-chested group of dancing women, apparently in Africa, with the caption, “Michelle Obama’s High School Reunion.”

These Ferguson Cops are just a barrel of laughs aren't they?

According to a paid informant.

The saddest part of this is his expressed contempt for AIM, Leonard Peltier, Russell Means and any "blanket Indian" who fights for their rights.

Feh...

Read the article? I am far from the only former misguided supporter of Peltier and AIM to come to his senses. Not to mention, former AIM members, progressive journalists who were sympathetic to AIM, and other progressives who once supported Peltier and AIM.

Y'know John, you make this fucking comment and then go off hiding in the weeds. So you believe Darlene Nichols was a paid informant who lied? You're saying Darlene Nichols lied? Was her sister Bernie a paid informant? Did her sister Bernie lie? Was Anna Mae Aquash a paid informant? Did Anna Mae Aquash lie? Because all of them were there and heard Leonard Peltier when be bragged that "The motherfucker begged for his life and I shot him anyway."

It's kinda hard to determine if Aquash lied or was an informant since she was murdered by AIM fairly soon thereafter. And that thoughtful leader only concerned for the welfare of his people, Dennis Banks, left her to deal with Peltier on her own before he was finally arrested and charged. Not much to hear from Anna Aquash since they found her body frozen to the ground with a bullet in her head. And I'm not the only one who is of the opinion that the only person who had the authority to have Anna Mae Aquash murdered was Dennis Banks. Russel Means blamed it on the Bellecourt brothers...utter bullshit.

Means, Banks and plenty of others have blood on their hands in this and a whole bunch of other AIM activities. But it apparently doesn't mean jack shit to you since that documented shitbag paid informant Darlene Nichols ratted out Leonard Peltier to the cops.

You're like the Jews in the concentration camps that collaborated with the Nazis in the hope that they would be allowed to live a few extra days.

Have you ever been in a concentration camp? What would you do in circumstances like that? You don't know, nobody does. You live in a warm house with all the food and every comfort you would want. You dont live in shit with an armed guard who just shot your friend and gassed your neighbors. Nobody knows that situation unless you've lived it. Be thankful none of us have had to endure it.

You don't know what anybody knows or doesn't know besides you. There are plenty of us old enough to have spent time with parents, relatives, or family friends who got out of a nazi camp with enough skin still on them to tell the story...with all the emotion...to a kid old enough to internalize exactly what they went through.

I heard the venom in Abe Kaplan's voice when talking about the Kapo's at Mauthausen. How they had their own rooms, warm clothes, decent food, and how he watched several of them beat other Jews to death to maintain their authority and keep their murderous fucking jobs. I can still feel the depth of his emotion in my gut right now just typing this.

So don't presume to tell anybody what they know or don't know.
