Obama and Ferguson

[Esquilax]

Evidently when presented with the evidence, the grand jury decided differently.

This is such a silly argument to make, since evidently our position is that the jury got it wrong on this one. Are juries always right? No? So why the hell even say this?

What would you do if this 6'4", 270 lb teen (who had just committed a strong arm robbery) and has wrestled with you for your gun is coming back at you.

What does his height and weight have to do with it? I'm roughly that height and weight, a little under on both counts, does that mean I should be killed? And if the answer is no, then obviously they aren't mitigating factors, so why bring them up? Oh right, because you want to paint a picture of a big, scawy black man to emotionally drive the conversation.

And is the penalty for robbery death, in your country? If not, then it's kind of an irrelevant character assassination attempt, isn't it? Again, you're trying to make this an emotive discussion about how scary the victim was, which is strange for a guy who apparently has the facts on his side.

He was obviously such a "nice, innocent" kid. Why don't we look at the evidence, as the grand jury did, before we make a decision.

The assumption that we haven't must be very convenient for your position.

Officer Wilson now will have to quit his job and move his family to another city. Of course, he deserves it because he's a "white, adult male". So he only got what he already deserved.

Whoa now, take that strawman somewhere else, buddy!
