There is video evidence of Michael Brown's father yelling for the crowd to "burn this b**** down". I'd say that's pretty good evidence of their role in the riots.I would like to see the city countersue for the damage caused in the riot that they played a big part in inciting.
Wonder how the family would feel if he filed a counter suit for the mental anguish of having to kill another human. The thug was under 18 so doesn't that make the parents still legally responsible?
In a sane world, the city and the former officer would counter sue them and all their family members for contributing to the situation...and for 2-3-4x the amount. Include the parents, all siblings, all grand parents, any/all family friends they can identify. Every. single. one of them. Perhaps all those folks feeling the pressure would trickle down into some thicker skulls and the original suit would be dropped.
As an aside: Are YOU ready for a civil suit? Or three? Because if you ever use a firearm against another person or persons, it'll happen.
I thought there was a statute in Indiana that protects you from civil lawsuits?
Now what do you think about this?
