"When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it is I felt like a five-year-old holding onto Hulk Hogan."--imagery of full-grown police officer Darren Wilson who shot a teenager to death
--------------------------------
By Kevin Stoda
I thought I was reading the thoughts of Henry Fleming in Red Badge of Courage when I watched and listened to this trained-police officer, Darren Wilson, in Missouri this past week. As you millions of American readers of the tale know, Henry Fleming entered the battle and saw all kinds of mythical dragons and similar imagery on the battle field. Quite clearly, we see a great similarly between Darren Wilson's misguided imagery given in "clear conscience" as the well-armed police bully recalls feeling like a 5 year-old boy as he took on the supposed giant monster in the form of Michael Brown. Lord, take guns out of the hands of such misguided children.--kas
