Hello Tim,

 TR>>>>> You rarely (if ever) hear about a policeman murdered by black
 TR> street
 TR>>>>> gang members. But let some black street thug bully an elderly
 TR> store
 TR>>>>> keeper and rob them of a fistful of cheap cigars....and all hell
 TR>>>>> breaks loose in the media!

 >>>> A young black man who buys some cigars and then is harrassed
 >>>> by a non-black store owner is not a thief or a criminal.

 TR>>> He didn't *buy* the cigars he *stole* them!

 >> The store clerk admitted the man had bought the cigars.

 TR> No, he did not!

Had he actually stolen the cigars, or anything else from the
store, the clerk would have had him arrested and put in jail.
But that did not happen.  Why not?  Because nothing was stolen.
The clerk got pushed out of the way when the man was exiting
the door.  It was all on camera, and shown on national tv.

 TR>>> He wasn't being `harassed' by the lawful store clerk, he was
 TR>>> `confronted'
 >> to
 TR>>> pay for the cigars.

 >> The man pushed the clerk out of the way as he was exiting
 >> the door.  The clerk never would have been pushed out of the
 >> way had he been behind the counter like a normal person.

 TR> He was confronting a thief.

The young man was not charged with any crime.  The officer
who killed him in cold blood was also not charged with any
crime.  And that is the real crime - an officer of the law
getting away with murder.

 TR>>> Instead he intimidated the clerk (all of which was caught on the
 TR>>> store's security video system), shoved the clerk at least once,
 TR> and
 TR>>> exited the store without paying for the cigars.

 >> You only saw one angle that had been edited for FoxNews, and the
 >> store clerk later admitted the man had in fact paid for the cigars.

 TR> I saw what he did at the door; he shoved the clerk at least once. It's 
right
 TR> on the security video.

The clerk was barring the exit as the customer was trying to leave
the store.  What did you expect the customer to do?  He had already
paid for the goods.  And his friend was waiting outside so they
could get smoking.

 TR>>> Michael Brown wasn't very smart,

 >> The man's intelligence, or lack of it, is not the issue.

 TR> It certainly is. He wasn't bright enough to make his 21st birthday.

There is no justification for murder, no matter how stupid
the victim might have been.

 TR>>> He threw his life away for a handful of cheap cigars.

 >> Well, not everybody has the same taste in cigars.

 TR> Or values them as high as he did, either.

Bill Clinton does not smoke cigars.  But he does like
to chew on them from time to time.  George W. Bush enjoys
a good smoke every now and then, and not just to chew on.
Fidel Castro gave them up years ago.  Or so he says.
