Ferguson, my view

An 18 year old 300 bound adult, that was the size of defensive linemen in the NFL goes into a store and steals a box of cigars.  When exiting the store he was confronted by the store owner and he pushed the store owner out of the way elevating the theft to robbery when he used forced against the store owner.  Of course we cannot say that since this so called youngster was a gentle giant that probably got away with things by using his size to intimidate and put fear into those that objective to his actions. 

A police officer that was just completing a call on a medical emergency and upon leaving that scene hears a call of this robbery and notified his dispatch that he would respond.  Upon traveling to the scene he observes two black males walking down the center of the street and while passing by directs them to move to the sidewalk.  The two do not, and at that moment he again receives a call from his dispatch with description of the perpetrators and realizes it is those two males walking in the street.  He turns his patrol car around, notifies his dispatch he has contact with the two perpetrators and requested back-up.  When he approached the so called gentle giant, then the confrontation began while the officer was sitting in his vehicle.  This then led to the gentle giant attempting to grab the officer’s gun and if he had been successful, in all probability would have used it against the officer.  Fortunately, the officer was successful in maintaining control of his firearm and during the scuffle at least two shots were fired and it appears one bullet struck the gentle giant in his thumb.  The gentle giant them attempted to leave the scene and the officer than pursued the now felon (Two felonies, the store robbery and the assault on the police officer) on foot where the next confrontation took place.  The officer directed the gentle giant to stop and the gentle giant then turned to face the officer and walked toward the officer.  Having nearly lost his life in the initial confrontation, telling the gentle giant to stop, and then seeing the gentle giant was not listening to his command and undoubtedly with the initial life threatening confrontation that just took place previously, and fearing the next confrontation could be fatal to the officer, the officer fired his firearm again.  Now the gentle giant after being shot again was closer to the officer and then in an apparent rage, began to charge at the officer with his head down as if he was a football player going to tackle another player, but this time the officer fired again and one of the bullets entered the top of the head of the gentle giant, killing the gentle giant.    Both forensic evidence and witness statements, collaborate the officer’s statement of the facts of the incident.  Also, these witnesses were also black that verified the officer’s statement. 

Some people say that the officers should have delayed his second confrontation with the gentle giant until additional officers arrived.  However, if this gentle giant was brazen enough to walk down the center of a street after committing a robbery shows his complete disregard of any fear of being confronted.  However, officer Wilson arrival changed that assumption and we now know the rest of the story.  The officer was assaulted and any thought of the officer remaining in his car after narrowly escaping with his life awaiting backup is contrary to what a police officer would do.  If this gentle giant could attack a police officer what would he have done with anyone else in his way as he was fleeing from two crime scenes.  Even though the officer had called for backup, he was still obligated to continue in attempting to arrest the gentle giant.  Remember, Ferguson has a 53 man police force and how many of them are on patrol at any one time and how many are performing in house functions is unknown at this time.  But in all probability, there may have been only 7-10 officers on patrol for the entire city.  So, a quick response for backup may not have been forthcoming quickly. 

As for the body of the gentle giant remaining on the ground to the displeasure of some of the residents and the family, I would remind everyone that this was a crime scene and before anything in the crime scene can be moved or handled, the crime scene personnel must perform their function.  Yes, the body of the gentle giant should have been covered and it was, but maybe not as quick as some would like.  But police vehicles normally do not carry sheets for such events. 

The District Attorney did the correct thing by presenting all evidence to the Grand Jury, since crimes of this type must go to a Grand Jury to hear the evidence and determine if an indictment is required.  Yes, we all heard the Grand Jury could indict a ham sandwich, if the DA presents evidence and withholds other evidence to get an indictment.  However, the Grand Jury presents an opportunity for all witnesses to testify under oath anonymously, without fear of their names being divulged that could lead to threats and intimidation to them and their family.  You can rest assured, especially after witnessing all the violent demonstrations in Ferguson and other parts of the country, that any witnesses identified in this case would have received threats to prevent them from testifying.  So, the DA did the correct thing.  It is just that some people cannot find any decision by a Grand Jury acceptable if it does not meet what they wanted.  By the way, I do not remember violent demonstrations when the OJ Simpson verdict was announced where a black man was accused of murdering two white people.   You decide that one. 

In any event, this officer’s life is destroyed and what his future holds remains to be seen.  Rest assured, Eric Holder will make sure the DOJ finds something to charge this officer with if only to advance his agenda.  The officer will beat the charges, but it will be costly and drag out for years. 

Immigration Fallacy

President Obama in issuing his unconstitutional immigration order deceived the American people again when he claimed these illegal immigrants will add to our economic output.  Of course, what he failed to tell you is that most of these illegals are low skilled and low educated people that will work in low skill jobs that pay close to the minimum wage.  As a result, these illegals will not be adding income to the treasury since they will not be paying income taxes and will be entitled to so called government entitlements such as food stamps, Medicaid, and other tax programs where they will be getting benefits and money and not adding income to the economy.  In addition, with the percentage of those working below 63%, the lowest in 40 years, this means some low skilled workers in this country will lose their jobs to these new illegals that will take a job for less than those already employed.  Just the nature of the beast as an employer to keep cost down.  Oh, I forgot, we cannot not call them illegal, but undocumented people.  Another lie.

Immigration

Is our immigration broken because our country has no immigration laws or is it because our president and DOJ refuses to enforce the laws already on the books?

Why are we not surprised

It is interesting that we have a White House administration that has no business experience, never held a real job, never had to make a paycheck or manage a business or organization, but they believe they have the intelligence to tell us what we should be paid, what we should eat, what we should wear, what we should drive, what our thermostat should be set at and it just goes on and on.  Of course, we have the present debacle with Obamacare that just goes to show their elitist attitude that they are better educated, and they know what is best for you.  And yet, the people in this country have been so dumb down that they are clueless and these elitist rely on that to accomplish their mission.  Their mission contrary to what some may believe is to destroy what our Founding Fathers gave us and why is that?  Because they know better what we need.  Instead of electing those who believe in our constitution, we have elected socialist and Marxist who have only one mission as I have indicated above.  Destroy the United States and mold it into what they want.  Government control of all aspects of our life. 

More lies and deception

All summer we saw all these unescorted children enter our southern border from countries in South America and we all said “How could parents allow their children to travel these 1200 plus miles unescorted and not travel with their children.  Well, yesterday we found out the answer.  Under the Obama unlawful Executive Order, part of his 10 part plan is all the parents of illegal children in this country will be granted amnesty status to remain in this country.  So now we know the rest of the story.  These parents will now come into this country and be granted legal status.  This entire operation was preplanned by the Obama administration and all those parents who allowed their children to come into the country were told this through representatives from this country what was coming.  Another lie from this administration like we now see with the Obamacare debacle.  So much for the most transparent administration in history.   

 

Net Neutrality ?

The president has proposed another attempt to have the FCC impose net neutrality on the Internet.  What the president is attempting to get is government control over the internet to have it regulated like Television.  We will see regulations that will restrict free speech and what people can and cannot say on the Internet and what can and cannot be shown on the Internet.  The days of open and free Internet will cease to exist as we know it today. 

The lies are coming home to roost.

We know this administration has constantly lied and obstructed investigations in all the scandals since Fast and Furious, thru the NSA, IRS and now the deception used to pass Obamacare (AKA Affordable Care Act).  The recent admissions by one of the architects of Obamacare, Professor Jonathan Gruber, MIT, shows the contempt this administration and the democrats in Congress have for the citizens of this country.  Lies and deception were used to sell Obamacare and we now have video evidence of this contempt where this architect, said the lack of transparency and the stupidity of the American people helped get this bill passed.   Yet, as of this writing, most news outlets have ignored this story in their attempt to keep the American people stupid.  Of course we now know the truth and why Congresswomen Nancy Pelosi said “We have to pass the bill to know what is in it”.  Because, keeping the American people clueless they could pass anything.  This shows the contempt the liberal left has towards the citizens of this country and their elitist attitude that they know better than you and they know what you need in life.  They are trying to do this is all aspects of your life.  Wake up America.
