You might want to learn about the history of a people before you invite them to be allies to your cause...that same thing hurt the #metoo movement.

The first tweet about the death of Michael Brown was a minute or two after he collapsed on Canfield Dr., just past noon Aug. 9, 2014. Local rapper Emanuel Freeman (@ TheePharaoh) tweeted from inside his home a photo of Browns body face down in the street, an officer standing over him.

12:03 p.m. "Just saw someone die OMFG."

12:03 p.m. "I'm about to hyperventilate."

12:04 p.m. "the police just shot someone dead in the of my crib yo."

And then a minute later, within five minutes of the shooting, the picture of an officer standing over Browns prone body. Twitter users identified the officer as Darren Wilson.

Forty minutes later, at 12:48 p.m., a previously unknown young woman, La Toya Cash, joined the conversation. She posted this tweet as @AyoMissDarkSkin: "Ferguson police just executed an unarmed 17-year-old boy that was walking to the store. Shot him 10 times smh."

The account of the "boy" "executed" walking on the street and shot 10 times established Mike Browns victimhood. smh--Twitter speak for "shaking my head,"--drove home the point, as did a photo showing dozens of police cars in the street.

The tweet was retweeted 3,500 times in the next few hours, researchers found, as word of the shooting passed through the community like an electrical charge. @AyoMissDarkSkin's report received much more attention than the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's first report of the killing several hours later.

As Ben Lyons reports in his social media analysis (pg. 14), the narrative quickly emerging in social media was that Brown had his hands up, was executed or shot in the back. This was picked up in traditional media where references to hands up, shot in the back and executed appeared six times more often in the days after the killing than terms indicating a struggle with the officer.

But that narrative was wrong. As the Justice Department's investigation concluded seven months later, "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" didn't happen. And Brown didn't look like a "gentle giant" in the convenience store video police released.

Few of the media accounts--either social or traditional--included the fact that Brown struggled with Officer Darren Wilson over Wilson's gun--a key factor in Wilson's ultimate exoneration.

Hands Up, Don't Shoot was a myth created in the hot media environment that came alive in the hours after Brown's death. "Eyewitness" accounts on Twitter, cable news and elsewhere turned out to have been based on what people who hadn't seen the shooting had read on Twitter or heard from neighbors.

I guess that's why you started it...because you needed to try to bring other people in when your original thread has lost interest...the communists did the same thing with the counter-culture movement in the 60s...all that BLACK POWER was nothing more than RED POWER...but SHHHH that's actual history so we don't want to talk about that...stay with the fiction, it plays better...you see the modern left do the same thing when one of their prize movements stalls...they piggyback onto the next new wave of interest...just like how the #metoo movement got wrapped up by the Anti-Semantic Hate crowd...then they tried to separate themselves and couldn't.

I'll just start over here.

I'm not talking about protesters...protest all you want. Burn all you want. Loot all you want. Society has deemed it acceptable to count your coup and just take whatever you want. Doesn't affect me so I just don't care. My livelihood isn't being burnt to the ground, my inventory isn't being spread to the winds...if others are too weak to stop them...oh well...I'm sure those evil Hamburger Restaurants, Drug and Liquor stores will make sure to never be involved in racist activities again.

I'm talking about all the mother-killers, father-rapers, store-robbers, drug-users, car-jackers...you know...all those poor innocent college-bound students just out for a walk or looking to bring mom home a quart of milk from the corner store.

Maybe a stern scolding along with a vigorous finger-wagging will set them on the path of the straight and narrow...

If you like horror Bella, then let me suggest a brilliant horror series "Ash Vs the Evil Dead" starring Bruce Campbell and based on the films. It's very gory but the humour saves it from being too much.


EXCELLENT suggestion. Everything Bruce Campbell is something worthy of attention.

ANYWAY..horror is relative..

Some people are scared stiff with snakes...some with frogs...some with slugs...

Closed spaces are terrible...darkness is unacceptable...underground demons are what others fear...

Anime is drawn..horror is horror...not much for comparison...

Spooky Markers FTW??? Not likely

God is a joke.

If you believe in an all-powerful..all-knowing..all encompassing deity...

In a Universe of Billions of Billions of galaxies...with a billion of billion of stars within each galaxy...

And trillion of trillions of possible lifeforms...

You think this Ultimate Power...this Ultimate Being actually gives a **** if you do A or B for a certain situation in your meaningless life...

You are nothing more than a complete idiot...

Really, when was the last time YOU were concerned with the life choice of a single Ant...
