It is from the Washington Post, now owned by Jeff Bezos.  Here\u2019s the headline: &#8220;County Investigation: Michael Brown Was Shot from the Front, Had Marijuana in His System.&#8221; (gasping)  Oh, no.  No wonder Holder wants to do a third autopsy. <\/p>\n<p>Oh, no.  I have just practiced character assassination.  Do you know that, folks?  With the aid of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/post-nation\/wp\/2014\/08\/18\/county-investigation-michael-brown-was-shot-from-the-front-had-marijuana-in-his-system\/\">Washington Post<\/a>, I have just participated in a smear and character assassination because I am reporting what the Washington Post news alert is.  &#8220;Michael Brown Was Shot from the Front, Had Marijuana in His System.&#8221; This is gonna be a problem for the Drive-Bys.  It\u2019s the St. Louis County medical examiner, but she\u2019s a woman, and the Republicans have a War on Women. So the Democrats can\u2019t come out and say she\u2019s incompetent, unless of course they find out she\u2019s a Republican medical examiner, but then how could she be in St. Louis? <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_94907\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/FergusonAUtopsy2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So now they\u2019ve got a problem.  So now we have shoplifting of Swisher Sweets, which are well known among the doper community to be ideal for the manufacture of blunts.  And we now find out from an autopsy, from the St. Louis County medical examiner, marijuana in his system.  (gasping)  Oh.  And this is in the Washington Post.  Mary Case, the St. Louis County medical examiner, &#8220;declined to comment further, citing the ongoing investigation.&#8221; This according to another person familiar with the county\u00c2\u2019s investigation that told The Washington Post that &#8220;Brown had between six and eight gunshot wounds and was shot from the front.&#8221;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>See, the original story was he was shot in the back while running away from an overeager, overzealous racist pig cop.  But again, go back to the video, the shoplifting video, the gentle giant knew that he had just robbed a store.  The cop did not.  So the cop doesn\u2019t understand this erratic behavior at the sight of him.  The cop thinks, &#8220;I\u2019ve just gotta get this guy off the street. He\u2019s in the middle of the street, I gotta get him off the street. There are cars in the street. We gotta get him on the sidewalk.&#8221;  The gentle giant reacts in a way the cop doesn\u2019t understand because the cop doesn\u2019t know that he just robbed a store, but the gentle giant knows it.  Now they find marijuana.  I didn\u2019t know you could find, I didn\u2019t know tox reports came back &#8212; they don\u2019t come back this fast on CSI. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s another thing.  I guarantee you that the low-information people say, &#8220;Wait a minute! They\u2019re making this up.  I watch CSI and they never have a tox report before four to six weeks.  I know!&#8221;  You wait.  Check it out. You watch. There are gonna be some tweets, gonna be some posts on website, &#8220;Cops\/medical examiner making it up! I\u2019ve seen it on NCIS. They can\u2019t get tox reports for six weeks.  So how do they know marijuana was in the system?&#8221; (sigh)<\/p>\n<p>What is they say about marijuana and behavior? Anyway, that\u2019s the latest news, the latest smear, the latest character assassination from the Washington Post.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I just became aware &#8212; and I\u2019m gonna have to try to pass this on to you via memory, because I don\u2019t have this written down. But I just became aware of Officer Darren Wilson\u2019s account of what happened, and it\u2019s&#8230; Well, needless to say, it\u2019s markedly different than the myth that is being told.  Essentially the officer\u2019s version of events is he\u2019s in his patrol car, and he encounters Michael Brown and his buddy jaywalking.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re walking in the middle of the street, and he approaches him in the car and tells him to get off the street and the sidewalk.  And then the officer admits that at that point he\u2019s heard a radio call on the robbery. At this point. But he doesn\u2019t know that this guy\u2019s the suspect yet.  But he\u2019s heard the call. He sees that Brown is carrying what looks like a box of cigars, and he might in fact be the suspect in the robbery. <\/p>\n<p>But, remember, now, Brown does know that he robbed the store at this point.  The gentle giant knows that he robbed the store, and it\u2019s safe to assume that he thinks the cop knows.  I mean, if you had just robbed a convenience store 10 minutes earlier and a cop approaches you, you\u2019ve got to think it\u2019s already&#8230; I mean, the cop knows. So that is going to factor into his reaction. <\/p>\n<p>Then the cop\u2019s version of events is that Michael Brown reaches into the car and attempts to get the gun and engages the officer, Darren Wilson, physically. Pushes him and so forth. Tries to get the gun.  You\u2019ve heard evidence of that that some in the media pooh-poohed. &#8220;That couldn\u2019t be! Would never happen! He\u2019s a gentle giant, blah, blah.&#8221;  At one point, he did get the gun, and then the officer got out of the car and somehow got the gun back. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8594\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_94906\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MichaelBrownVideoPIX.jpg\"\/><\/a>The officer\u2019s account is he said that the gentle giant appeared to be on something, because he got the gun back. The first shot was an accidental discharge. The gun hadn\u2019t been aimed or anything.  After the suspect reached in the police car, shoved the cop, was taunting the cop, and then the cop gets out of the car and the suspect runs away with the cop giving chase.<\/p>\n<p>Then the suspect stops, turns around, and starts taunting the cop and saying, &#8220;You\u2019ll never shoot me! You\u2019ll never shoot me.&#8221; Some more shots ring out, and then the suspect bum-rushes the cop, starts running right for the cop. That\u2019s where the cop said in his opinion it looked like he was on something.  There were more shots, one to the forehead, which is now the one on the top of the head in the autopsy.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect then fell to the ground three feet from the officer.  No shots from behind.  This account has apparently been repeated by somebody who is a friend of Darren Wilson, who told this story after having heard it from Darren Wilson. He told it to other people. So there are two people telling the same story, so that\u2019s it. And I\u2019m sorry. That\u2019s as much as I\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s as much as I was able to grab in the brief break at the top of the hour that the officer was bum rushed by the suspect, the suspect reached in the window of the cop car and attempted to get the gun, and the officer thought suspect was on something. If this version is true, if that\u2019s what actually happened, it is a far cry from the story that has been out there all week long.<\/p>\n<p>That story is: Innocent young gentle giant just eagerly anticipating his first college classes, on his way on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to his grandmother\u2019s house &#8212; over the river and through the woods to grandmother\u2019s house &#8212; was accosted by a typically white racist cop and gunned down for no reason.  That\u2019s been the story that\u2019s been out there all week. <\/p>\n<p>The latest, by the way, from the Washington Post (just to reiterate, if you haven\u2019t heard this): The county medical examiner, Mary Case, has revealed that Michael Brown was shot from the front, and by the way, all the autopsies so far agree with that (there were no shots to the back), and that he had marijuana in his system.  So that\u2019s the Washington Post participating in its character assassination and smear of the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>So as I say, I\u2019m repeating that largely from memory. <\/p>\n<p>I made some real quick notes as I was hearing this be described, but that\u2019s the officer\u2019s version of things, the officer\u2019s account. He did say he was afraid. He was afraid for his life \u2019cause the suspect appeared out of control, had reached into the window of a cop car, was bum rushing him after some shots it already been fired. He was taunting the cop, &#8220;You\u2019ll never shoot me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You\u2019ll never shoot me,&#8221; and it was when he bum rushed the cop in the middle of the street that the shots, the fatal shots were fired.  So that\u2019s that.  I\u2019m sure as that version gets out there, it\u2019s probably going to cause more looting and more rioting and more agitation from the people like Michael Eric Dyson, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=8593\">Marc Lamont Hill<\/a>, and, let\u2019s see, who else? Eric Holder. Who else would be out there upset with this? The governor will probably be upset with this. Who knows?<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people will be irritated that this account has gotten out there, \u2019cause the myth has been carefully crafted.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Back to Bob in Roswell, Georgia.  You called about the press conference with the family today.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Right.  We watched the press conference that had the attorneys for the family and Dr. Baden and the gentleman that was helping him with the autopsy.  And the thing that got my attention was the first gentleman that spoke, he kept using the term how the policeman &#8220;executed&#8221; the young man.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  That was the family attorney, Mr. Crump.  He was from Florida. Well, he was the Trayvon Martin family lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, just using the word &#8220;executing,&#8221; I mean, what does that say right there?  You know, obviously it sounds like maybe he\u2019s, to use what you spoke about earlier, maybe he\u2019s trying to reestablish the myth, if you will, and what else is he doing?  He\u2019s out there potentially souring the jury pool if this all comes to a trial because this man, I\u2019d heard at least twice and maybe more, he kept referring to the policeman that &#8220;executed&#8221; the young man.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right, because that\u2019s what everybody already thinks.  The myth has already been established.  The myth was established early last week.  He\u2019s just perpetuating it with that, and that, to me, I think that\u2019s irresponsible.  Of course you can\u2019t say that because he\u2019s a minority and therefore a victim, and we have to understand the rage, and we have to understand their anger and so forth, but that\u2019s incendiary to me.  This whole thing is incendiary. This whole thing is a myth.  The whole thing is based on a myth, that it happens all the time. <\/p>\n<p>This whole thing is based on the fact that this is a common occurrence, not just in St. Louis, but in America.  And, as part of the myth, once again, the minority community is fed up with it and they\u2019re not going to put up with it anymore, and so they burn and loot their own neighborhoods.  To talk about this as an execution poisons the jury pool, but it also is designed to make sure that if there is another version of this that\u2019s the truth, that it won\u2019t be believed.  Poisoning the well, I think this is called.  But remember, this is a family press conference, a family lawyer, and this is designed to convey the family\u2019s feelings about all of this.  Anyway, I\u2019m glad you called, Bob.  I appreciate it.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Mike in Wilmington, North Carolina.  Glad you waited, sir! Welcome to the show.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Good afternoon, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes!<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  First-time caller, longtime listener.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Great to have you here.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Quick question for you about the Michael Brown case.  The video that was released showed Michael Brown and an accomplice clearly shoplifting &#8212; or robbing, if you will &#8212; the convenience store.  My question is: Why hasn\u2019t the accomplice been arrested? You know, he\u2019s come out as a material witness in what happened later on in the shooting, but he hasn\u2019t been arrested as an accomplice in that crime.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  And he may have been. I don\u2019t know, either. But I think that\u2019s interesting.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, he\u2019s not the primary perp.  We may never know.  I don\u2019t think he\u2019s gonna be arrested. Can you see \u2019em arresting him now?  Ha-ha! (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) No, no.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Can you see \u2019em make an arrest now?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  I guess you\u2019re right, but at some point he needs to pay for what he did.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Well, he\u2019s the only eyewitness.  Oh, I take it back now! There\u2019s another eyewitness.  There\u2019s a 19-year-old woman who\u2019s an eyewitness, and she happened to be videoing it.  I have the transcript of what she said, and it is a problem, because she clearly says that he\u2019s running away, and then turns around and runs back at him. &#8220;&#8216;The next thing I know &#8230; I\u2019m thinking &#8230; the dude started running\u2019 (garbled something about &#8216;he took it from him\u2019),&#8221; meaning Michael Brown took the gun. There is another witness to this.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well, the witness that I\u2019m talking about, of course, was with Brown in the store, and the video clearly shows that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah, but I don\u2019t have the memory of the video right in front of me. I don\u2019t remember much about the witness I remember the gentle giant, and I remember the proprietor comes up to him as he\u2019s walking out the door, and the gentle giant pushes the proprietor away, points a finger at him, and the proprietor shrinks away.  That\u2019s just a gentle giant being a gentle giant.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Well &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  &#8220;What\u2019s mine is mine.  Possession is nine-tenths of law, store owner, and I\u2019ve got it right now.&#8221;  Anyway, the eyewitness is been lost in the mix for at least as far as I\u2019m concerned.  If there\u2019s anything to know about it, I\u2019ll find out, and if it\u2019s worthy and relevant, I\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019ve just been handed a note, ladies and gentlemen.
