The Michael Brown narrative surfaces again
By Mike McDaniel
On August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri, Michael Brown, an 18-year-old, 6’4” nearly 300-pound thug wannabe was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer. Ferguson, and the nation, have never fully recovered. Every year around August 9 leftists continue to portray Brown as a holy social justice martyr, and this year it was the turn of the Illinois Lt. Governor:
And Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL):
Both used photos of a sullen Brown in his high school graduation robe. That’s because every other photo of Brown on social media depicts his thug ideation: guns, pot, booze, gang signs, obscene gestures and the rest. They harsh the narrative of a brilliant young Brown full of promise and about to enter college or a technical school. If true, no one has ever produced the slightest evidence of it.
At my home blog, I’ve covered the Brown case, currently amounting to 37 articles. The truth doesn’t resemble the narrative.
Brown, a recent high school graduate had no job and no apparent future. He and Dorian Johnson, began smoking pot early each morning and continued throughout the day. On August 14 they went to a convenience store, where Brown stole handfuls of cheap cigars—“blunts”—they planned to hollow out and fill with pot, apparently Brown’s favorite method. Brown roughed up a far smaller clerk, committing strong armed robbery.
