August 21, 201412 yr And no, the theory I was floating was that if Johnathan Gentry's message was done solely for publicity then he would have gone on all the networks and not just Fox News. If he really wanted his message to make an impact then he would have gone for all the networks and not just one. It's clear now that despite the things he said in his message that I agree with that his message was more to mock black people than to try to awaken them. That makes Clizzy right about Mr. Gentry. He did that video for publicity. And that is shameful because he has some excellent points. Is it possible that Fox News is the only news network that INVITED him? Pretty sure that Fox News, or any other network will not let me air my opinion on their network just because I want to.

Pretty sure that Fox News, or any other network will not let me air my opinion on their network just because I want to. Yes. That's was the whole point of the discussion and trying to figure out if he did for publicity or not. You'd have to visit this thread to get the whole background of the discussion. http://bluegrasspreps.com/controversial-issues/ferguson-rioting-looting-281714.html

August 21, 201412 yr St. Louis Medical Examiner SLAMS Brown Family Hire Interesting twist on the 2nd autopsy. The chief medical examiner of St. Louis County, who performed the first autopsy on Michael Brown after he was shot on Aug. 9, says that she is concerned by one of the men hired by the Brown family to conduct its own exam. “I can tell you absolutely that I find what Parcells does to be abysmal,” Dr. Mary Case told The Daily Caller when asked about Shawn Parcells, a Kansas-based forensic pathologist assistant. He has been accused in the past of fabricating his job title and of conducting autopsies without a license. Parcells, along with Dr. Michael Baden, was hired last week by the Brown family to conduct an independent private autopsy. They did so, they said, because they did not trust local authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into Brown’s police shooting death. The team released its results on Monday and determined that Brown was shot at least six times. One crucial determination was the trajectory of the bullet that killed Brown. Parcells explained to TheDC earlier this week that the bullet was traveling in a back to front direction, indicating that Brown was bent over in some fashion when he was struck. The location of Brown’s head when he was shot is sure to figure prominently in the investigation. The Brown family and many across the U.S. believe that Brown was “executed” by Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson in broad daylight. Wilson reportedly claims he shot Brown in self-defense. But Mary Case, along with a number of other medical examiners and pathologists have been heavily critical of Parcells. “He is doing forensic autopsies which may send someone to prison, and he is not a physician much less a forensic pathologist,” she told TheDC, adding that forensic pathologists and medical examines throughout the U.S. “are shocked by this man and how bold he is to do what he does.”
August 22, 201412 yr I don't know if this was stated in here yet , it's hard to keep up. But are people really calling for the prosecutor to step down because his father a former cop was murdered by a black man ? Unless there is other proof I'm missing are people saying he hates black people and can't do his job ? I don't know any prosecutor that would lose a case on purpose that is career suicide.

This situation is getting worse by the day. I'm not surprised by anything at this point. This is like Mark Fuhrman now.

The feeling isn't that he would lose the case, that he would fail to bring charges.
August 22, 201412 yr Author The feeling isn't that he would lose the case, that he would fail to bring charges. Ahhhh, creating motive. Damn shame. I just want some indisputable facts.
August 22, 201412 yr Just seems crazy to punish someone because of the ethnicity of the man who murdered his father.

He called himself an expert as he started his own company and when questioned about the title he gave himself, he said as owner of the company he can give himself any title he wanted. Then he was questioned that he has no degree and has never gone to any pathology classes, he said he didn't need to because he used to observe autopsy's back in the early 2000's with the county coroner at the time. The former coroner then told the media that Parcells would hang out when he was working but never assisted in any autopsy. The guy is a fraud and a scam artists. The reporter who sme out with the story said what Parcells calls himself is like someone working at McDonalds giving themselves the title of King of the World. Lol
August 22, 201412 yr Just seems crazy to punish someone because of the ethnicity of the man who murdered his father. Understand your sentiment but given the high profile nature of the case and a blood thirsty public that's given something like that which just seems to be red meat, then the prosecutor recusing himself and letting someone else handle it is an easy way out as well. If I were him, I'd seriously consider doing that and passing it on to a special prosecutor, or could at least understand why someone would ask me to do so. Not saying that I would, just that I'd seriously consider it. I say that because the only way where the prosecutor does it any quells some doubts about his own tragedy influencing him is if he's sure he can convict the officer.

I say that because the only way where the prosecutor does it any quells some doubts about his own tragedy influencing him is if he's sure he can convict the officer. The problem I see is that if he would recuse himself in this case, then the next nasty case that came along, he would have set a precedent. It doesn't matter who the prosecutor in this case is. If the Grand Jury does not return an indictment, they riot. If they do indict and he is acquitted, they riot. Anything short of the death penalty, they will riot.
August 22, 201412 yr So he reached for the officer's gun? If that's true, it shouldn't be a debate. You reach for an officer's gun, you normally get shot. Agree or disagree?
