Character Assassination: Conservative Blogger Digs Into History of Michael Brown’s Stepfather

Posted by | September 3, 2014 19:54 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


The slain Ferguson, Missouri teenager’s non-criminal history was revealed today, which didn’t sit well with Charles C. Johnson, a conservative blogger who filed a request for information on Michael Brown’s history, which should be irrelevant at this point.

Johnson has written for the Daily Caller as well, so his credentials are already suspicious.

When the news came out that the deceased teenager had no top felonies on his record, Johnson started spinning the news and wrote, “Gotnews.com has never said Brown was convicted–only that he was involved in one.”

He did by proxy via his Twitter account on August 19th.

 

Now he’s asking what a ‘serious felony’ is.

On GotNews.com he breathlessly wrote:

Juveniles, particularly those involved in gangs, aren’t usually convicted on a first offense. They are usually given probation, a plea bargain, or a reduced sentence.

Notice how he uses the word ‘purported’ then moves on to Brown’s stepfather. 

This purported lack of a criminal conviction is entirely consistent with what GotNews.com sources said. Brown’s stepfather, Louis Head, has a long rap sheet that includes gang activity. GotNews.com is currently working to obtain that entire arrest record but here are a few snapshots.

I am not going to include Johnson’s snapshots of the stepfather’s alleged activities. This is pure character assassination. I hope no one ever judges me by how my father acted in life. He was a jerk of the highest order, but that has nothing to do with me as a person. Suggesting that Brown was involved in a gang without proof of any sort, is despicable. It’s easy for him to do because of Michael’s race and the fact he’s no longer alive to defend himself.  That “long rap sheet” Johnson refers to consists of two arrests. If Michael Brown was complicit in criminal activity, or his stepfather was, that still does not mean he deserved to be gunned down on the street while unarmed. We’ll never know what kind of man Michael could have become, or the contributions to society he may have made, because his life was taken from him by Darren Wilson, who Johnson seems to be supportive of. Twitter users answered Johnson’s question for him. 

Keep digging, Charles. You look mahvelous! I’m not even going to do a Google search, but I’d bet that Charles went after Trayvon Martin with vigor. Just a hunch.

A far, far, far right wing blogger tweets:

Too late, Jim. You took his claim to heart previously.

    Charles C. Johnson should check his own closet first before he attempts to find skeletons in others.

      They would just say that he was confused and needed some mental help.

      • M D Reese September 4th, 2014 at 00:24

        Or if his daddy’s rich and his mom is good looking, it might be a simple case of affluenza. And of course he’d be deemed too pretty to go to prison…

    No matter how much they might try. They can not use Michael Brown father’s past to try the case. The case is to be decided on the execution of a jay-walker and his executioner (Wilson-the cop). Once they locate Wilson.

    So what is a “top felony” exactly? Can someone please explain to me what does “top felony mean?”

    Of course Browns criminal history is important.

    It tells us of his character and whether he is violent or not. If his thinking is clouded by drug use.

    All we have right now are videos of Brown violently robbing a store and toxicology results that show he is a drug user.

    As for his step fathers criminal history, that might help also, it might allow us to understand what kind of lifestyle Michael was raised in.

    Being around violence and gangs is never helpful to the upbringing of our youngsters and it could help us understand how the parents react.

    At this point, we now know that his step father was standing with the crowd the night of the verdict, with his pants down, showing half his underwear for the World to see and yelling at the crowd to burn the city down. A very different person than is being portrayed by the left wing media.

    Next up, we get an excuse for him inciting a riot, you know, the whole we understand why a father would pull his pants down and yell burn this city down excuse just like the outrage shown when the video of Michael being a violent thug was shown. Remember back then? When people were angry about the truth being show, as if it had nothing to do with Michael Brown?

    Now I am seeing a reenactment being shown that clearly is different from what the physical evidence showed. One story after another of lies to keep us all angry and logging into the news.

    I hope C.N.N. makes a bundle of money on the lies they get to sell.

      And as I have said, I’m glad that the police in my affluent white neighborhood treat the kids who behave that way very, very differently, as though they are the children of the people whom they serve, as opposed to the honors student a violin student who played in the school’s string quartet, (20 miles away in the city) who was beaten to a pulp by police as he walked the block from Mom’s to Grandma’s house.

      No indictment there either, but A split verdict in a civil suit in which a jury awarded Jordan Miles more than $119,000 for a false arrest in 2010 but found against a claim of excessive force.

          Here, the cops are a benevolent force and see themselves as protecting the young and stupid from themselves.
          They don’t see summary execution as their job.

Somewhere along the road of history people got the idea that they can do whatever the F they want whenever they want to, including not obeying the law and the lawful orders of law enforcement personnel. “Don’ mess wit my macho” seems to be the rule of the day and some people pay the price for their idea that they are self-important and above the laws.
