What happened to the 'wait for the evidence' part? So far all I know about is a video of someone that 'looks like' Mike brown.

Richard Sherman is Right: Thug is the new N-Word

Character assassination in progress, right before our eyes. I wonder if Limbaugh will have the brass to say "300-lb. thug."
From dictionary.com:

thug [thuhg] noun. a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.Similar words: goon, ruffian, hoodlum

I don't see anything racist. If you do, I recommend a long look in the mirror, Captain Projection.

Which is far and away enough to stop him.

Once he assaults you? That's on him.

You've said that your belief that David Brown did the robbery is 'evidence-based.' Tell us of this evidence of which you speak.
