Michael Brown Was a Strong Arm Robber - the Whole World Saw the Video - Not An Innocent Teenager
Michael Brown's mother and family have my condolences, but the media CNN
etc. have painted him to be this innocent 18 year old that did nothing wrong, 10
minutes before he was stopped and questioned by Officer Wilson he performed a
strong arm robbery of a store taking $60.00 worth of cigars, when the clerk tried to
to stop him Brown shoved him into a display stand, and when the clerk tried to follow
him out the door Brown turned and lunged at the clerk daring him to stop him.
Officer Wilson's side of the story through a friend was that Brown resisted arrest and
when he followed after Brown when he tried to run was that Brown turned and said
you aren't going to shoot me, and then he bum-rushed Wilson! Now, I'm not saying
that I know exactly what happened in Brown's confrontation with Wilson, but the
store robbery doesn't paint a picture of an innocent teenager, also, an 18 year old is
an adult by law!
