Dumb, dumber, or just flat out malicious?

I’m going with malicious. They don’t bother to check their sources? They post based on wishful thinking that this is what Wilson might actually look like had he been as badly injured as Hoft and Chuck Johnson had asserted with absolutely no evidence.

So they continue to spread the lie.

It has to stop.

This isn’t Wilson. Not even close. It’s a guy who died years before Wilson’s name made headlines for killing Michael Brown. In fact, the injuries occurred years before that.

But it doesn’t matter to the right wingers who mindless post this crap based on what a few sites say. All it takes is someone like Hoft or Elder or Johnson to post that this is Wilson, and it spreads, even though it’s easily debunked with a google or tineye search.

It doesn’t even look like Wilson.

This all stinks to hell, and it all starts at the FPD and county police for failing to release any basic information and failing to follow policies and procedures. Throw in Hoft and Johnson’s malicious endeavors, and you’ve got a fecal-matter sandwich for the ages that will undermine any potential prosecution (assuming that the prosecutors will even get that far) by tainting the jury pool.

It’s the same thing with Johnson going after Brown’s juvenile record (which clearly indicates he wasn’t involved in any of the asserted claims by Johnson - that he was involved in a 2d degree murder). Smears for the sake of bolstering Wilson’s possible defenses and going after a guy who was gunned down by a cop even though he was unarmed and witnesses indicate he was surrendering.

You sound really pissed.
