Laughing at what stupidity, facts?
I think you're misunderstanding where I'm coming from. I don't have any moral convictions against marijuana. I really don't care that some states are legalizing it and I don't give two shits about people who smoke it. But at the end of the day, it is still a drug. And what do drugs do and why do people use them? To alter their perceptions and change their moods.
Everything I said about the effects of marijuana are facts you can find at just about any health or drug website on the topic, which is exactly where I got the info.
Oooh, grand theft cigar. Yup, that's a good reason to murder someone with his hands up.
He wasn't shot for stealing the cigars and what's more, you know this.
However, if he hadn't stolen the cigars, Wilson would not have seen them in his hands and therefore would not have tried to accost him and Brown would still be alive.
Who says he lied? Oh, that's right. The cops did.
You have already as much as acknowledged that Brown was inside the cruiser, albeit because you suppose Wilson pulled him inside or - as you even speculated once already - that Brown attacked Wilson because blacks are tired of cops giving them shit for minor offenses like jaywalking.
You have already tacitly acknowledged that Johnson lied or was incorrect so why are you arguing this point? All you're doing is contradicting yourself.
I'm saying he didn't need to be in the vehicle for his DNA to get inside once he had been shot. It's not like the windows were up. Blood splatters, it gets tracked, there's a dozen ways some blood could have gotten inside that cruiser...
You're forgetting (or deliberately overlooking) the fact that Brown attacked Wilson. They have pictures of the bruises and scratches on Wilson's face to prove it. Besides all that, if Wilson had fired from inside the cruiser while Brown was outside the vehicle, the blood would have splattered away from the vehicle. Unless you're suggesting that the laws of physics were suspended during those few seconds and that the blood sprayed in the opposite direction the force (bullet) was traveling, he was shot in the hand while inside the vehicle.
Not that any of it matters, as Brown was 160 feet away from the cruiser, wounded, barefoot, with his hands up when Wilson shot him six times and murdered him. Because he was angry. Not because he was in any danger.
As noted above, you already speculated Brown probably attacked because he was angry about blacks being harassed. So if it's true Wilson was angry, it's also true that Brown was as well.
I did. It was just not the answer you wanted to hear. We keep playing this game, it's tiresome.
No, you did not. All you said was that Brown can't buy liquor.
At this point, your refusal to answer the question tells me that you indeed know that he was an adult in the eyes of the law. You just don't want to acknowledge the fact to me as you would be conceding the point.
