Another witness in Michael Brown shooting found dead
December 9, 2014
Another witness of the shooting of Michael Brown has been found dead in a dry channel near River Des Peres in Misssouri, local authorities confirmed.
The man has been identified as 23-year-old Shawn Gray, a black man who testified during the grand jury proceedings over the killing of Brown by former police officer Darren Wilson.
According to relatives and friends, Gray was last seen leaving a restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. The manner and cause of his death are pending autopsy results. However, his family is demanding answers and say the death could have been premeditated murder.
Another witness DeAndre Joshua, also a young black man, was found shot dead and his car was torched outside the same neighborhood where Brown was killed.
Two witnesses of the Brown shooting have now been found dead under suspicious circumstances, while local authorities have not announced any leads in either case, and the press has provided minimal coverage.
The police murders of black young men in recent months has provided a stark reminder to the world of the harsh reality faced by many black communities in the United States. Their deaths exposed the continued persecution of black people.
Mass protests against these injustices have taken place across the country. Protesters are demanding justice for black lives lost at the hands of state sanctioned violence, with over 100 days of peaceful protest ranging from #HandsUpWalkOut and solidarity days with Ferguson.

where is erica what did you do to her you sick fuck
anti-SJs do this really annoying and transparent thing where instead of saying racist/ sexist/ homophobe/ transphobe they say “people you don’t agree with” or better yet “people with different opinions”
"Stop villainizing people you don’t agree with"
"I can’t believe they’re doxxing people just because they have different opinions"
"They attacked me because I don’t agree with them"
look, rageface comics are usually shit but troll physics is so fucking ridiculous but incredible. my high school is literally one of the top STEM schools in the nation and we would just post this kind of shit all over the engineering classroom. I’m sure scientists laugh their asses off at this shit too. you can’t deny the absurd brilliance.
"never use this word because it’s common, instead use all of these things that i’ll call synonyms even though they carry different connotations and will change the meaning of your dialogue if you use them" — very bad and unfortunately very common writing advice

"How did Bill Cosby go from one of America’s favorite TV dads to a man fighting allegations of rape?" Ummm by being a fucking rapist???
The problems with titles like this is that it somehow wants us to maybe rethink and re-evaluate the person’s wrongs / awful and violent behavior because they used to be “America’s favorite dad”. Like I give a fuck about who he used to be? Why should that even be brought up? Am I supposed to overlook a rapist because they used to be this and that?
I am so sick and tired of this rape apologist normalizing manipulative presentation of news on mainstream media. Fuck your “liberal” news companies.
If Andrew Hussie wrote the Harry Potter series Harry would’ve used the fucking liquid luck and time turner to kill Voldemort.
Except it’s not actually Voldemort, it’s a construct meant to resemble voldemort which Tom Riddle won after creating a timeloop in which he provided the magic for his own mother’s love potion and created a super powerful snake which he later turned into his beloved pet. And also Wizards have 9 kinds of romance and half of the cast are now centaurs.
