Well, they caught the asshat who shot the two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri. Jeffrey Williams, 20, was charged with first-degree assault after he "acknowledged his participation" in the double shooting, St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McColloch said at today's presser.
So I suspect Williams is going to blame the gun as the other participant in the shootings.
Actually, Williams claims that he wasn't aiming for the two officers, but the shots were part of a dispute with another person in the area, said McCulloch. We now know two things about Williams: he sucks as a marksman and he is still guilty if his admission is true. He can be charged with life in prison, but if Eric Holder has his way, Williams will get an official commendation from the Department of Justice.
Are we supposed to feel better that he was not aiming at the cops, but aiming at a civilian? And are we supposed to believe that's true? It's possible, but I don't think so.
The shooting of the two officers received mixed reviews from the protesters. Some felt that they got what they meted out, which is senseless as they weren't even from Ferguson. Some felt that it was wrong to shoot them (gee, that's deep).
But one thing the demonstrators emphasized was that the shooter had no connection to their movement, in spite of the fact that he connected to their movement by demonstrating with them in the streets of Ferguson. Maybe the people in the movement don't realize that demonstrations are made up of individuals, all with different minds who may see things in a different light than others.
Oh, and is it worth mentioning that Jeffrey Williams is not white? I know Al Sharptongue will probably not touch this story with a ten-foot Polish person. It doesn't fit his agenda and the pay is poor.
When the shootings occurred, Eric Holder held a presser where he called the shooter "a damn punk." President Obama hopped aboard Air Force One to meet with the families of the two wounded officers--just kidding--he tweeted and said "there was no excuse for violence."
Michael Brown's family (the victim of the police shooting) issued a statement condemning the shooting, but the step-boyfriend jumped on the hood of another car and said, "I ain't gonna sign no paper 'till they burn the b**ch down!"
Al Sharpton was not available for comment as he was probably busy drafting a heartfelt speech condemning the lack of target-practice opportunities for the downtrodden minorities that pay him to say that.
