SIX TIME in the stomach and chest.

I'm having trouble with that.

On TV, you seldom see an actor be able to take even two bullets; three
max. before going down.

The only time you see an actor take anything over three bullets without
going down is if they're playing a zombie. (You can't kill a zombie
becaue they're already dead.)

Am I the only one that figures Wilson pumping 6 rounds into Brown wasn't
called for. The only way I could see that is if Wilson pumped more
bullets into Brown AFTER HE WAS ALREDY DOWN, and I don't like the sound
of that.

I heard that this morning on TV. Were they mistaken?

The saddest thing of all is that people actually made up testimony. Then
that testimony was repeated as fact by the media, and once into the public
domain, impossible to erase. Years ago the media was far MORE responsible.
had rules to not publish anything without corroborating
evidence/additional sources. Also they had something called 'investigative
journalism' which even more sadly today has disappeared and been replaced
with 'lazy' reporting - merely transferring the PR/misinformation straight
through. And now the media considers itself more of a revenue generating
'entertainment' industry. In the time it takes to stir up questions and
thoughts to make people watch their drivel,they could have said some basic
facts and been done with it. Enticing people to watch to fill in details.
And what happened to 'professional' looking/acting peole to present news?
They've been replaced by clowns and women dressed as crack whores. oops,
sorry digressing here.

Recent film based on a real life story is "Find Me Guilty" to me an
absolutely riveting storyline. The main character had been shot four times
by his cousin and then appears completely recovered acting as his own
defense attorney in the longest trial ever conducted i New York [Ithink it
was]...successfully.
