Dorian Johnson recanted his version to the prosecuting attorney, then went on CNN and stood by it 100%...
DJ just got out of prison, his 2nd stint, he gave false testimony against someone in another criminal prosecution and was caught...
both were members of the "Bloods" street gang...
M Brown was 18 and his drivers license was already suspended for getting a DWI...was known for using his size to bully or intimidate...known to verbally abuse and threaten police....he was on his way to college, weeelll, on his way to one of those privately owned business/trade schools in that area because with his Mom being on welfare the state of MO. will pay the $33,000+ for a kid to go regardless of their high school GPA...but not a real college!
3 more of the public schools in that school district lost their State accreditation last year for low test scores, low attendance, and excess violence....
The kid was a thug, grew up in a poor area that was very violent, with piece of sh!t parents, and didn;t have much of a chance, but still a thug!
21 yrs ago a very good friend of mine who had a small repair business was on a call in that neighborhood...3 kids approached his car and shot him in the head before he could even get out of it....he was killed for $30 and a tool kit, in a apartment complex at 3pm, 30 ft from a school bus unloading kids, with people walking everywhere, but nobody saw a thing!!!
I regret the fact that they burned down 5 businesses during the protest(riots actually), I would have preferred they had burned down the entire town...
Here is another little MB/Ferguson tidbit...2 leaders of the "Black Panthers" were arrested for plotting to blow up the "Gateway Arch", and assassinating the Ferguson police chief...these geniuses bought pipe bombs from undercover agents with there EBT cards...for those that don't know it, a EBT card is a state issued "Food Stamps" card....
Ignorance abounds in this whole Ferguson story, including the Ferguson police and Governor of MO, along with the main players, and their lawyers....
