No such thing as a good kill... [View all]

the terminology itself is revolting.




The rally, which drew only two non-white participants, also focused on the theme of “innocent until proven guilty,” and to illustrate this, most of the people interviewed by Dalrymple were quite certain that Michael Brown was a violent thug who assaulted Wilson, who had no choice other than to shoot him to death:

“We’ll all see this in the end that it was a good shooting. You know, it was a good kill,”

Really? a good kill.

either every life is precious or it is not.
There is no winner when someone dies like this. None.
justified or not, this is a tragedy.
no matter the facts, this is a tragedy on so many levels.

In the human caring sense, I support both the police and the citizens of Ferguson... and above all, I support that the truth will come out, and that we all we make changes to see that this never happens again.

Is it okay to get shot for jaywalking - no.
is it okay to get shot for swearing - no.
is it okay to get shot for running away - no.
is it okay to get shot for hitting someone with your fists... for fighting - no.

I'm sure I could go on.

May truth and peace prevail.
