The Michael Brown hate hoax set the stage for the devastating Black Lives Matter phenomenon to follow. It was fabricated after the sociopath Brown, fresh from a strongarm robbery, attacked a police officer and tried to take his gun. The disproven lie that he was executed for no particular reason set off race riots and created the Ferguson Effect, whereby police feel they have no choice but to sit back and allow crime to spiral out of control.

The lie that the young maniac Brown was shot while raising his hands in surrender was told by his friend Dorian Johnson — who was just killed by the violence he helped facilitate:

Johnson, 33, was the victim of a shooting at about 8:30 a.m. Sunday at a block of apartments less than a mile from where Brown died…

No need for more riots, homies. Despite early rumors, Johnson was not shot by police.

One person was taken into custody but was released with no criminal charges filed, according to Melissa Price Smith, St. Louis County prosecuting attorney.

“This appears to be a domestic incident involving a claim of self-defense,” Price Smith said in a statement, adding the case remains under investigation and her office remains in ongoing consultation with Ferguson police about possible future criminal charges.

Sometimes there is justice, even in this fallen world.
