Darren Wilson's Testimony Reads Like Ramblings of a Paranoid White Supremacist

[madokie]

Pathetic.

If you have not yet read Darren Wilson's testimony to the Ferguson grand jury which decided that he would suffer no ill consequences for his decision to kill Michael Brown, please do so.

Wilson's description of the events on the day that he decided to shoot and kill an unarmed person cannot be adequately relayed to you by a second party.

The absurd, unfathomable, and fantastical story which Wilson spun out of the whole cloth in order to justify killing an unarmed black teenager combines the deepest and ugliest white supremacist stereotypes and fantasies about black folks' humanity such as the negro fiend", "black beast", and "giant negro", with white racist paranoiac thinking, and dialogue from blaxploitation movies.

Darren Wilson's grand jury testimony purports to be an accurate description of his encounter with Michael Brown. In reality, it is closer to an amateurish summer stock theater production of the movie Birth of the Nation as performed by the KKK and/or Neo-Nazis.

1. I don't believe a word the little weasel says. he was a scared little white man with a gun.

2. The judge, jury and executioner

all rolled up in one big asshole murderer

[noiretextatique]

4. he was scared

Why would he be? He is a liar.

7. I agree. Wilson was scared and needs to find another line of work

I am sick and tired of all these cowardly cops whose first instinct is to shoot their gun at black men.

I say to Wilson, "get some guts, you signed up to be a policeman, which by definition takes courage."

And by the way, Wilson is 6'4" tall and well over 200 pounds. He not a small man. He just acts that way when his "badassness" gets him in trouble.

3. after I heard about the "demon" comment

I knew it was complete bullshit. A reliable racist fantasy that would make his intended audience salivate like Pavlov's dogs. It worked.

5. This guy is gonna be a target

For the rest of his life..

9. A target for whom? Name one instance of a revenge attack on an American cop.

That doesn't happen in the USA.

Mexico, yes. But not here.

6. Every sentence out of Wilson's mouth is carefully crafted by his attorneys to match the statute

while vaguely keeping to a moderately reasonable interpretation of the evidence.

It is so contrived that anybody with a lick of sense discards it entirely as the self-serving statement of somebody having committed a serious felony.

I mean, really. We have two versions of even the initial conversation. Wilson claims he politely asked the two youngsters (I'm using this word to signal the same ridiculous Mayberry feel that Wilson's lawyers concocted for his story) to walk on the sidewalk. Dorian Johnson says that Wilson said "Get the fuck on the sidewalk."

Which is more believable? I mean, honestly. But if you don't believe Wilson's anodyne rendering of even those first few words - and it is truly a ludicrous retelling, then Wilson begins his testimony with a self-serving and obvious lie. When does he stop lying? When? Never.

Then we're to believe that after Brown yells at him to fuck off, he returns calmly, and does a "C'mon, fellas, I'm just looking out for your safety" sort of second ask, while at the same time just then perhaps recognizing that Brown - described to a goddamn T in the dispatch (yellow socks up to his knees!), may be the - gasp - store robber. (Wilson got the color of the shirt wrong on his own retelling, notably.)

Do I believe Mike Brown said "You won't shoot me, you pussy!" No, because that's beyond ridiculous, and was invented by Wilson's attorneys to craft a state of mind for Brown.

It's ridiculous. His entire testimony is ridiculous.

And everybody knows it.

10. You're spot on.

Black teenagers don't talk like that, especially the, "You won't shoot me, you pussy!"

That's so obviously concocted by a white person coaching Wilson.

"You pussy"? Black teenagers rarely, if ever, use that term. It would have been more believable if he had made up this:

"You won't shoot me, mother fu_ker!"

[gollygee]

8. There's a good reason for that

I wouldn't be surprised if Anon's thought that he had ties to the KKK was true.

[starroute]

12. The Anons claim it's more than just a "thought"

The last thing I read said they had a source but couldn't reveal any specifics without putting the person's life in danger.

The KKK's Ghoul Squad is a kind of auxiliary group for Klan supporters who have jobs that would be at risk if their support was known. Obviously, if Anonymous proves Darren Wilson was a member, it will be explosive. But they haven't proved it yet:

"In the last week the hacktivist group has been carrying out a campaign entitled #OperationKKK after a local KKK group - the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (TAKKKK) - began distributing leaflets in Ferguson promising to use 'lethal force' against any protestors. ...

"In it latest statement, Anonymous claims there is a strong link between the TAKKKK and the Ferguson police department, and in the last week has published evidence showing that three high-ranking members of the TAKKKK attended a support rally for Darren Wilson in Imperial, Missouri - evidence which has now been removed from social media websites.

"The group claims members of the law enforcement community in the area are silent members of the TAKKKK and call themselves the 'Ghoul Squad'. This claim is substantiated by an ex-member of the TAKKKK called Henry Harrell who told Anonymous: 'I know for a fact that the TAKKKK had a lot to do with what went on in Ferguson.'"

11. Wasn't Wilson just reading Zimmerman's testimony from two years ago?
