STEIN: The idea of calling this poor man ‘unarmed’ when he was six-foot-four, 300 pounds, full of muscles, apparently — from what I read in the New York Times — on marijuana, to call him unarmed is like calling Sonny Liston unarmed or Cassius Clay unarmed.
He wasn’t unarmed, he was armed with his incredibly-strong scary self.
We live in a country where words have no meaning if your skin is colored.
Michael Brown did not possess a weapon and thus he was unarmed, but according to racists he was armed with his scary fists.
