For what it's worth, I don't think he was attacking you Greven. But I don't think you're blind to other alternatives either. I think you have a slant to your view, but I think your slant is that it all just doesn't add up for you. You're by far the most informed and rational person I've debated on here, even going so far as to take a step back and incorporate some of the things I had to say into your own hypotheses. I devoutly hope this doesn't mean you've checked out

I gather that you are basing most of your "fact finding" with the presupposition that this was murder of a black youth by a white officer. You are seeing what you want to see.
...You want to think it was a leisurely stroll the entire way because that supports your presupposition that this black youth was killed by a cold blooded murder pig cop.
Several witnesses stated that Brown was "taunting" the officer as he moved, and even Wilson's testimony lines up with this. You don't know if Brown charged, then stopped, then walked, then stopped, then charged...

Everything you just bolded supports what I said. You are the one who is unreasonable and your predetermined bias shows through.
He was stopping, stutter stepping, feign running etc. You have no idea when or if he charged during that period of time. Ultimately at some point he decided to do a full charge.

I thought you read the witness testimony, there were both verbal and handwritten witnesses who described a charge...I linked one of them above. Again, you entered this subjectively and that is never a good thing in a case like this.

The news said it was unanimous, can you link that it wasn't? And how does that show I am not familiar with a GJ? I have been under the impression the GJ voted unanimously and I believe I got that from CNN. That doesn't indicate an ignorance of how GJ's work...
Edit: Upon researching it, Anderson Cooper said he didn't know if it was unanimous, but we don't know the final tally. So I simply misunderstood what he said.
As usual though you miss the mark. You're assuming that I assumed it was unanimous, when that isn't the case. You however have assumed that it is only 9/12, which you do not know either.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a Grand Jury does...
Again, you're just making yourself look foolish and digging your hole deeper.

As far as using the N word, you do realize that African Americans use this term to refer to each other quite often correct? However, I like that you've decided that if testimony doesn't agree with you it's either fabricated or racist...

That's what I was saying in my previous post. He is described as stutter stepping, bowing up, arms being used in a taunting manner etc, but never as running, just advancing.
Darren Wilson: His first step is coming towards me, he kind of does like a stutter step to start running. When he does that, his left hand goes in a fist and goes to his side, his right one goes under his shirt in his waistband and he starts running at me.
you just don't do well at reading comprehension...your attempt to obfuscate...you are blinded by your own personal view of what happened

That's not a bizarre take, that's what happens...
It didn't work out the way you wanted, sorry about that.

You quoted an attack that isn't an attack. You've become so angry it's comical.
Then you quoted me some more and really said a lot without really saying anything.
I really am finding you quite comical now. You left because you were looking bad and now you'd hoped everyone forgot about this thread.

Who is referring to this person as a key witness? Do you know how many witnesses testified? She was exposed during the GJ trial, not after...
I think the only people who are referring to her as a key witness are those who wish the GJ had gone the other way.
What about the fact that Dorian Johnson lied about "Hands Up, Don't Shoot?"
Wouldn't he be considered a key witness? Wasn't he exposed as a fraud?
On Monday, The Smoking Gun published a lengthy report exposing “Witness 40,” a woman who testified before the St. Louis County grand jury who corroborated all of the main details of former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson’s story regarding his encounter with unarmed teenager Michael Brown in August. TSG was able to identify “Witness 40″ as Sandra McElroy, a 45-year-old St. Louis resident who has a history of making false statements and previously interjected herself in a high-profile case in the St. Louis area. McElroy’s testimony has been used by a number of conservative pundits, most visibly Sean Hannity, to bolster their support of Wilson’s account.
Earlier this month, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes showed how often Hannity has pointed to “Witness 40’s” testimony as the absolute truth.

So again, what about Dorian Johnson? He lied several times...
