"there’s a story for the media: A community in which honest people can’t tell the truth for fear of running afoul local thugs enforcing 'the narrative reported by the media.'"
We'll come back to that...
"That the claims made against Mr. Wilson were doubtful should have been clear within days of Brown’s death, and again in November after a grand jury, having heard from some 60 witnesses, declined to indict the officer"
"Yet if anyone was openly and shamelessly mocking the criminal-justice system, it was so much of the media itself, credulously accepting or sanctimoniously promoting the double fable of Ferguson: that a 'gentle giant' had been capriciously slain by a trigger-happy cop; and that a racist justice system stood behind that cop. "
“Witness 109 [...] repeatedly refused to give formal statements to law enforcement for fear of reprisal should the Canfield Drive neighborhood find out that his account corroborated Wilson.”
Witness 113 “gave an account that generally corroborated Wilson, but only after she was confronted with statements she initially made in an effort to avoid neighborhood backlash. . . . She explained to the FBI that ‘You’ve gotta live the life to know it,’ and stated that she feared offering an account contrary to the narrative reported by the media that Brown held his hands up in surrender.”
Now there’s a story for the media: A community in which honest people can’t tell the truth for fear of running afoul local thugs enforcing 'the narrative reported by the media.' Or is that more of a story about the media?"
Witnesses to a grand jury said they feared telling the truth when a man's life was on the line because going against the obviously false Narrative created and perpetuated by media (and this administration) might get them hurt.
That's an attempted lynching. Every member of the media who reported the lies holds a noose. Every single person chanting "hands up don't shoot" holds a noose, enabling the next victim to be strung up. Every person still defending this is holding a noose. Instead of the rope and tree limb of old the crowd supports the media and the Democrat Party picking a victim and lynching them. Make no mistake, none of these people is better than anyone in a KKK mob looking to hang someone.
