Maybe he's hoping you'll forget the no indictment thrown in the middle, given all the evidence he presented afterwards showing how guilty he was.

No matter what happened in the car the fact that Brown was running away should be enough to indict Wilson for murder. It's a defenseless kid who at that point he KNEW was unarmed.

Most witnesses agreed, that Wilson shot an unarmed teenager at a significant distance.
Doesn't matter how it started. If that's how it ended, then Wilson should've been indicted. This is a travesty, given the story he's told.

Mike Brown was Quantum Man, and was running, charging and standing still at the same time with his hands up and also balled into fists.

Are people surprised they didn't indict if, in fact, most 'witnesses' just repeated what they had heard happened, not actually seen it?

So the Klan spends all their time trying to get black people to get into cars, and failing. They do this in broad daylight, wasting their time in a highly visible manner.

You are a crazy person.

I like how you keep extending this to "all the time" like there's literally a line of Klan vehicles waiting to pick up black people at every intersection as opposed to a couple of good ol boys goin out and looking to have fun when there's a bunch of new, inexperienced black folks in town.

Granted, I'm not sure presenting all the evidence is bad, but it clearly can create some confusion.

This is exactly why an actual, legitimate trial was needed: to allow people to scrutinize the case and hear the evidence for themselves, rather than being assured by an authority figure that they totally went through all the evidence, trust us on this one, etc.

Everyday Lurker posted:

That's an artifact of the very real fear of slave revolts and uprisings, later refined into narratives about blacks rising up and killing whites in revenge for being treated like poo poo throughout America's history. That's always in the back of their mind and, to be honest, pretty much a curse of being a straight white racist.
