[quote=Brovo] If the gun could not have been pointed at Brown when it went off, how did six bullets find their way into Brown's body? Unless you mean that the gun did not go off in the vehicle? [/quote] I will explain my meaning further, I can see how it was a bit confusing(I do tend to get ahead of myself when writing and not include things I thought I did/was thinking about). What I meant was, the fact that there was no residue on Brown at all meant that when the gun went off inside the vehicle(there was one shot that occurred during the controversial sequence with Brown at the window of the vehicle the officer was in separate from the others when the officer was outside) it was not pointed at or nearly at Brown as the gunpowder residue is distributed in a rough cone 1-1.5 feet in front of the muzzle. This, at least in my mind, indicates a struggle for the weapon. [quote=Brovo] You were merely damaging the arguments of others on your side, not helping them. Just food for thought. [/quote] Indeed, ad homs accomplish nothing. Also, further, just because one doesn't have experience in something does not mean they can not partake in an argument or discussion about that as long as they are thoroughly educated. For example, I wasn't there when Stalin rose to power, but I could certain describe much of what happened, what living conditions were like, and the lasting effects of his legacy to the extent of my knowledge. Would someone who lived under Stalin have their perspective to share, perhaps countering(or reinforcing!) my points? Certainly, but that is the purpose of a debate or discussion, mutual understanding. That is what I believe, along with sharing our opinions on the matter, is the point of this thread, yes?
