Taking this to the GJ was a moot point to begin with. Missouri law states that an officer has the right to use deadly force to apprehend a fleeing felon. The moment one lays his hands on a police officer, one has committed a felony. Whether we agree with that law or don't, it is the way the law is written. The way I understand it, if Michael Brown had even just poked Officer Wilson with his finger then attempted to flee,  Wilson was legally justified in shooting him.

So WHY doesn't that POINT get brought OUT?  The officer was doing his DUTY by law..

The kid was robbing a store - the policeman stopped him and the kid fought him (policeman has wounds where he hit him).. and grabbed for his gun.. And don't give me the argument that he was "just a kid and wasn't thinking".. he's was 18 and an ADULT in the eyes of any law I've heard about.

One good thing about the 60s Gregg - Chet, David and Walter gave us about 30 minutes of condensed news at 6 o'clock and that was it for the day. Anything else we had to READ in the paper and draw our own conclusions. (except when JFK was shot). Personally I think that was a better idea.. They just gave the "facts" and didn't have 100 experts on to analyze the heck out of things.

But today I'm not watching ANY news.. I'm just going to be thankful for everything that's going right and wish everyone a PF Thanksgiving.. Jeannie.. you stay safe and warm and enjoy the day.. (But stay inside.. Kiss

Looks like there are some St. Louis Rams players that should be fined big time, fired and banned from pro-football. The good fans of the Rams pay outrageous money for tickets to see a football game and end up with being subjected to overpaid crybabies displaying their misguided political views in a packed
stadium. Can you say "inciting a riot"?

It is disappointing to see some who choose to leverage their fame and use it as a platform to impose their misinformed and ignorant views upon others. there should be sanctions for those who use their profession to reach others with their opinions.
well said Bob

Early Sunday morning, three teens dragged a man from his car and beat him to death with hammers while his wife stood helpless. This happened in the Bevo area of the city which is largely a Bosnian community. Today they went to the streets to honor the victim and bring awareness to the crime which many feel was racially motivated.

I ask... Where is Al Sharpton? Where is the national news media? Where are the protesters rallying in support?
