But a massive upgrade from the dump they used to play in.

i thought the he said she said argument was that the cop had hit him with his door or that as the cop tried to get out brown had barged in to his door, either way i was under the impression that it happened as the cop was getting out, the gun went off and the 2 lads ran, the main argument was that the cop suggested that once he had withdrawn his gun and told him to stop (stood behind him at the time) brown had made a motion towards his belt and the cop assumed he had a concealed weapon and fired, the ability to prove or disprove the hand motion is why its been thrown out, its pretty much impossible, his assailant had run off by then and the witness statements vary im not sure if he's still pending an internal investigation, 1 because he had unholstered his gun as he was getting out of the car and 2 because he fired 12 shots, he shot brown 6 times I don't think anyone is pretending there are not parasites who will take advantage of public uproar to act out criminally. They should be handcuffed and prosecuted. As I posted earlier, even if the cop was justified (but why didn't he use a taser?) to shoot and kill the unarmed Brown, the fact that he let the situation devolve to that point makes him negligent, maybe even criminally. Much of the outcry is that the process looked rigged from the start, with a prosecutor with police ties essentially guiding a grand jury to try the case themselves, which is in effect what happened. There was enough conflicting evidence to charge the officer with manslaughter or negligent homicide and send it to a proper trial jury, but he was protected by the system that he is paid to be a foot soldier for. They were not going to send their boy to state prison, end of. In a state with a long history of racial injustice, rigged juries, and police misconduct, it is not much of a stretch to imagine that another injustice was done in this case.

Yikes

I do want to call it that. As for the burning and looting, I don't condone it in the slightest. But I think the point CED was making was some people seem to place more value on a smashed window and a 6 pack of Heineken than a 18 year old kid's life. Also, how does a cop who can simply step on the gas pedal allow a pedestrian to grapple with him inside his vehicle (If that's what actually happened)...

Also, the kid had not just raped a woman, or robbed a bank, he stole a handful of cigars off a corner store rack.

I felt the same until I hit about 92-93. And now at 100, I'm going back to do quests I didn't do so I can get a couple more followers for my garrison. There are plenty if not more quest lines that are story driven and deviate from the "Kill 10 spiders' routine. The cutaway bits in WoD are the best yet, too.

It's still in the top 3 leagues in Europe, along with Spain and Germany.... and two English clubs just beat two German clubs this week. That said, I can't name one team in the Premier League that plays attractive football.

I real enjoy the pure paganism of the Christmas tree. Some wonderful traditions survived the onslaught of Rome.

What I find interesting is how a good number of people seem to be more disgusted by property damage and looting than the killing of an unarmed civilian. Really !! You've followed the story and actually know what happened ?? ... Those people on the streets really have no reason to be there from what I've heard of events that took place ( cue the police and autopsy results are lying posts ) That an unarmed man was killed is not in question, so what about his post are you taking umbrage with?

My 12 year old nephew's father calls him "Sweetie".

2 birds with 1 stone- a small sample of why The Rolling Stones were and Rushmore was great-

I didn't really like any of his other films, but Rushmore was a brilliant little piece of filmmaking, IMO.

I'll have you drawn and quartered.

Hollywood is racist because they gave Denzel Washington the Oscar for his role in Training Day, but not for any of his good guy roles This is actually what some people think

I'm more of a traditionalist

Do you mean 'The Depwuarted'? No.

The NFL season is not very forgiving. Any other sport would allow the player some leeway, but McCoy won the job in practice and on the field. They'll ride Colt until he bucks. (Sorry, brutal pun)

West Brom v Arsenal 0-2 Burnley v Aston Villa 0-0 Liverpool v Stoke 1-1 Man Utd v Hull 3-0 QPR v Leicester 1-0 Swansea v Crystal Palace 2-1 West Ham v Newcastle 1-2 Sunderland v Chelsea 0-2 Southampton v Man City 1-1 Tottenham v Everton 1-1

What I find amazing is that no supporters of the cop seem to have called into question the utter incompetence by the cop that led to the shooting. How does an unarmed kid walking down the sidewalk pose a mortal threat to an armed policeman in a cruiser? If he was intimidated by the kid's size (and he was, judging by the transcript), he should have called for backup before engaging the kid. That the encounter escalated to the point of several gunshots to the torso and head seems like a flagrant dereliction of duty. At best he is clearly unfit for the job of law enforcement officer, at worst a cold blooded killer with no regard for human life. The fact that the body lay on the street for 4 hours suggests that the entire Ferguson PD fits a similar profile. And some people wonder why the people are angry...

I downloaded Onyx, and somehow Mackeeper piggybacked on it, the scumbags. And wouldn't you know it, 2 viruses came with it, which were promptly removed. Clean My Mac has an uninstall feature, so I used that to trash Mackeeper. Ran Onyx, restarted, etc. Not seeing the results I was hoping for, TBH.

The explicit racism on social media regarding the Ferguson, MO. situation. Really depressing. One step forward, two steps back. Seems there is no way out of this hole.

Yeah, maybe it's pure gold, but I never bother. Time-wasting needs to have a PURPOSE, dammit. Time wasting is a purpose unto itself

In fact, most of these recent Boston movies are all pretty overrated in my opinion. Maybe it's because I can see what is total bullshit where other people don't know, but Ben Affleck perpetrated a crime against the city when he made "The Town".

Add The Departed to this list. Decent film, but plenty to pick apart. Overrated.
