I don't know if they'll listen to Jesse anymore, it was going around that while talking to protesters he also started asking for money to "support the cause" and was booed/shouted down by the crowd.

 

I wish I could be surprised. He's an idiot.

He has to pay for his hotel room.

:laugh:

 

That is classic!!! Yet not surprising, he has always been about making money.

Neither deserved to die and I do not think you are saying that.

 

However both cases do point out a problem within the African American community that is getting swept under the rug with criminal activity and culture which helps cultivate a more likely environment for these things to happen. Again, that is not justifying what happened in either case but it is definitely part of the narrative which should not be ignored.

I agree 110%

 

I only wish they'd take all the crimes etc. and address them all as the big problem. There is a serious problem in this country when the majority of murder victims are african americans and the majority of the murderers are also african american. It's time they tried to look at the cause intstead of waiting for a white man to kill a black man before it becomes national news. The problem is that too many young men are being shot down in the streets period. That is what I wish the idiots like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would concentrate all their energy on and that is to try and educate the masses and look for prevention instead of misguided blame.

And I know PP92's correct response will be that nobody cares when two African Americans kill one another. We care but from a media perspective it is not a juicy story.

 

That is their job and all leaders (not just African American) need to make people care.

Forensics experts said that the autopsy does not prove he was shot from the front. One expert said it is "possible" that shots came from behind. Need more examination. One shot could have gone through eye and down through the jaw. I don't know the physics of a shot but that would seem hard to do from straight ahead.

 

They said all they can tell thus far is the shots came from at least 1 to 2 feet away from the end of the gun. Need to look at x-rays taken before the autopsy that will show more info.

 

So the pictures we saw tell us nothing definitive.

I wonder what changed from last night to today?

 

Mr. Brown, 18, was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front.

I'm confused. Did the guy who performed the autopsy say they were from the front? Or did he say maybe not conclusive? Or are the "forensic experts" other guys who are relying on what-ifs to cast dispersion on the process and make the media hounds happy?

One of the autopsies is going to say what is right, one is going to say what Holder and the DOJ want.

 

Bank on it.

Basically this. Nothing is conclusive based upon what has been shown to this point.

The guy who said there is the possibility of the shot through the eye going down through the jaw as well is a college professor/forensics expert.

 

He spent some time showing the possible ways some of the wounds could have happened. Some were from the front. Some were as if the shot was from behind. One of the two said the x-rays taken prior to the autopsy will help determine that.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!!!!

Who has seen the evidence first hand?

A lot of hard bones in the head, bullet may have went through eye and ricocheted down...:idunno:

And what's the holdup with "waiting on xrays"? I've taken 6 in the last 10 minutes. They're digital, no processing. Easy stuff.
