WILSON NOT INDICTED

[kingblaze84]

Amazing. America doesn't really have a justice system anymore, it has an INJUSTICE system. I've basically lost all my respect for the injustice system in America, how can America talk about other nations' human rights when America has one of the world's worst justice systems itself?

What about the fact that the head shot came downwards?

guys are taking that a couple of different ways, but it doesn't seem to indicate Brown was running away when he was shot

You're again disregarding tons of witnesses who saw the scene, which is very shameful of you-

please, cut this fucking shit.

one, you're disregarding any witness that doesn't agree with you and then going into this holier-than-thou routine wherein you pretend you're not. it's old and it's lame. what i'm doing is pointing out the known fact that eyewitness testimony is inherently unreliable and that the best thing to do is to ask if it's supported by the evidence. "disregarding" would imply i don't care what a witness says because it doesn't conform to some presumptive conclusion of mine. which, by the way, is what you're doing right now.

8 witnesses isn't enough to bring up a fucking charge? Get the fuck outta here, you damn right it's enough to bring up charges.

8 witnesses NOT SUPPORTED BY FORENSIC EVIDENCE.

you have a fairly even split of witnesses and evidence that would seem more in line with their statements. that's why people have been saying this could go either way.

If 8 witnesses said I shot a burglar as he was running away from my house, stealing a TV set, I'd be in jail. The cops wouldn't wait for no godamn, fucking evidence, they would have charged me on the spot. Ignoring witnesses, especially EIGHT of them, is disgraceful and WILL ALWAYS be remembered and brought up in this situation.

then stop fucking pretending that you're not ignoring every witness you don't agree with!

seriously, this is not about "disregarding witnesses," this is about you disagreeing with the result. and that's fine. but it's ridiculous to keep pretending The Real Issue here is that one side or another is OMG DISREGARDING A WITNESS SOMEWHERE

A shot coming from downwards coincides with the testimony alleging he was shot while down

Yet little regard is being given to this, despite this same reasoning being used to support Wilson's claims

i think in the case of the "downwards shot," you can at least explain it different ways; are we saying the rest of the evidence cosigns the "shot while lying down" theory?
