That was the purpose of the post. This has smelled bad from the start. When I discovered that the perp rushed right by the black guy and went purposefully towards others — I started researching more diligently. There are hundreds of X users commenting. Lots of noise, I am sure, but there are credible ones as well. This certainly looks like damage control on Brown’s part. We’ll see.

Jm, I appreciate that. I tend to watch for patterns rather than jump to conclusions. What remains genuinely unpredictable is what happens when firsthand witness accounts are eventually heard, since those can’t be managed the way abstract narratives can. Likewise, when forensic details are made public, they often clarify events in ways nothing else can. At the moment, we have neither direct witness testimony nor contextual evidence sufficient to fully understand what occurred. Jim

Jim,

Thank you for the enlightening article. You have cleared up a lot of uneasiness I have felt about how the coverage and investigation has proceeded.

You revealed alarming details that I had not heard. If she she was targeted then this tragedy is both heartbreaking and infuriating. The murder of the other student is equally horrific. Could that targeted as well? The persons speaking at news conferences do not inspire confidence. What a mess! SMH
