If it is true that people who witnessed the shooting were threatened, then that means that dozens, perhaps hundreds, of people knew DAMN WELL that Brown was guilty, that he brought the shooting on himself; and that they instead acted as if he were innocent.
This is disgusting.
People like this DeAndre Joshua are the hope of the black community. It is an abundance of people willing to do the right thing, even though unpopular, which makes white America work. If this is true, this kid showed both a lot of courage and a lot of integrity.
People like that are worth being proud of. They do the black community proud.
And the people who shot him, if we are understanding this story correctly, are the BANE of black America. They are the ones who drag it down, make it hellish, make it impossible to get ahead. They should be fought at every corner, across every front, every hill and every valley until this useless rage is removed and replaced with common sense and common decency.
Don’t hold your breath though.
