Lucky for Wilson, only one eye is used to sight a target and he did a great job of defending his life.

I'll rethink my position if it is verified that Wilson was severely injured by Brown.

Does that mean I'll change it?

Maybe, maybe not.

So far however a google search of "Broken eye socket" shows a plethora of screaming from the "usual suspects" ie. far right sites, and nothing from any source that I would consider reputable.

We shall see.

Grand juries are a farce.

Which is why the unofficial "pre-release" of this information.

1. Get folks willing to re-think.
2. Hit them with the full justification data, after.

Brilliant.

Fox has released a report of the incident from a department source, the timeline and details seem plausible.

It's indeed rare to see those words in the same sentence.

From, ahem, Fox News:

"Published August 16, 2014
Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. – Below is a timeline of the shooting of Michael Brown on Saturday, Aug. 9, in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson, Missouri. The times are taken from documents provided by the Ferguson Police Department, including dispatch logs and an incident report on a robbery at a convenience store.

11:48 a.m. — Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson arrives at a residence in response to an unrelated call about a 2-month-old child having difficulty breathing when she coughs.

11:51 a.m. — Ferguson police receive a call of a robbery in progress at the Ferguson Market convenience store.

11:54 a.m. — A different, unidentified officer arrives at the Ferguson Market and gets a physical description from an employee and customer of a suspect who took some cigars.

11:57 a.m. — A police dispatcher broadcasts a detailed description of the robbery suspect, saying that he was wearing a red St. Louis Cardinals ball cap and yellow socks and was walking with another man toward another convenience store called QuikTrip.

12:00 p.m. — Officer Wilson leaves the scene of the call about a sick child.

12:01 p.m. — Officer Wilson encounters Michael Brown walking on a street and the shooting follows. Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson said Friday that Wilson did not know about the robbery at the convenience store when he encountered Brown.

12:04 p.m. — Another officer arrives on the scene after the shooting, and an ambulance is contacted to treat Brown's wounds."

This timeline is nearly precisely what I alluded to a few days ago, when I was met with incredulousness that any officers would be within five minutes of each other and that 5-7 minutes could encapsulate robbery to self-defense shooting with time to broadcast a description.

Apparently, Wilson did not hear the description, which I find to be odd, but Brown was well aware of his recent miscreant activity leading to ugliness.

Michael Brown brought this upon himself.

The timeline supports his being with the mother and sick child when the description went out.
