Ferguson, MO is about 30 miles from me.  Has anyone been listening to the news about it...?
I was pretty up to date until about Tuesday, then I stopped paying close attention(aka: reading all of the live feed).  MWeber has been keeping me in the loop tho, he is temporarily living in Florissant, so he is loving his life right now.
I've been reading about it from the minute it happened, and the news information changes like crazy. There must be now 10 different stories of what had happened.
I am guessing the officer will walk, too much doubt with the other side of the story coming out...but hopefully the autopsy bullet-holes will paint a picture and get as close to the real story as possible. 
On one hand I can see both sides(from hearsay): The officer was assaulted and his gun was almost stolen(and Brown probably would have killed him) and in a potential adrenaline rush he gunned Brown down.  The officer didn't NEED to shoot Brown when he was running away or when he supposedly turned around to "surrender".  But not a lot of people could stop their adrenaline at that point...but is it self defense?  How far does that defense go when the attacker is leaving the scene...can you chase them down and kill(execute) them?
The cop shot way to many times, that I won't disagree with, just the matter in how he shot him(when he was running away and then "potentially" surrendering) that is mildly disturbing.
Like everyone else but the cop I don't know the entire story and that just has to be put thru the legal system to play out as correct as possible hopefully.  But I must add that if you had a badly fractured eye socket it might be rather difficult to aim and/or count the shots.

My wife just walked in from work.  She said she bought me my favorite dish washing liquid.  What the hell, "now I have a favorite dish washing liquid...????"  Is there some sort of transitions going on that I don't know about..???  yikes...
Is this the liquid soap banter?  I am a Dawn Lemon guy myself, sometimes I go bold and get the Original(blue), but only when I am feelin frisky.

Get on Ebay and buy the perfume for her!  She is transitioning from her washing the dishes to you washing the dishes.

Very hard to aim, and a defense to 'stop him from potentially harming others' sounds pretty good if I was a jury member.

Ohh yeah, the green is solid.  I just really like the citrus scent when I am doing dishes.  Anyone have PB infused dish soap?  (that should wake up any lurkers)  :P

Yeah we will just talk dish washing until we piss off the lurkers enough to come alive and post.  Oh yeah, Happy Jam Day in case this falls back over to a Cigar Banter again.

On the topic of cigars, I bought another BnB Tobacco Groupon ($100 for $50) and bought 25 LAdC Mi Amor Duques for $85ish total(with groupon) last night!

And when Dean wakes up in the middle of the night posting then goes back to bed at 4 in the morning.  Then there is Left Coast Dave formerly of NJ who has obviously fallen into the California lifestyle out there sleeping  till lunch.

73° here this morning but heading to 94° before the day ends, glad I will be in the casino all day instead of the mower.
I kind of miss mowing at camp, and all the other work that was needed. I hear it has gone to shit there without me.
Its a shame that you will finally have people notice the things you did every day only after you have left. Someone else's problem now brother, life is to short.
Isn't that always the case?

Very Nice purchase but did they come with any beer or dish washing detergent?
