Enough of the looting that erupted again Friday night. Bring in the National Guard!!!
I am losing sympathy with the protesters. We all wanted more information. The name of the officer was released. The video of the strong armed robbery is being called "character assassination" by the protesters. While the robbery does not justify the shooting, the video does contradict the portrait of Michael Brown that has been painted as a innocent, law abiding citizen. Every early report included that Brown was starting college on Monday. Now when evidence is released showing him in a different light, the protesters want to call "foul". They can't have it both ways. The robbery wasn't typical teenage mischief. He didn't stuff a couple candy bars down his pants. Brown flagrantly and violently showed no respect for the law when he openly stole from the store and attacked the employee. This act demonstrated his "character".
