“ALL Americans”? Uh, speak for yourself, buddy.
NBC News legal analyst Lisa Bloom is still seething over the Ferguson grand jury’s decision not to indict Darren Wilson. Here’s a small sample of tweets showcasing her disgust:
Darren Wilson described Mike Brown to the grand jury as "like a demon," like "Hulk Hogan." He had more than a month to come up with that.

Darren Wilson testified both he and Mike Brown used profanity in their altercation. Of course, his was justified, Brown's wasn't.
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
The kid glove treatment of Darren Wilson in his grand jury testimony I've been tweeting about today was all done on the public record.
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
How to not get charged: 1. don't talk or do incident report 2. lawyer up, review all evidence 3. get prosecutors who don't ask any hard Qs
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
We're all entitled to due process of the laws, but in #Ferguson, some people get more process than is due.
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 25, 2014
Many parallels between failures of prosecution in Trayvon Martin & Mike Brown cases: dehumanizing victim, failing to ask tough Qs of shooter
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 26, 2014
George Zimmerman & Darren Wilson: both said brutally beaten, refused medical treatment, then went. Docs found only the tiniest of injuries.
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 26, 2014
G Zimmerman and D Wilson: both hassled, then killed unarmed black kids, and magically got prosecutors who forgot how to prosecute.
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 26, 2014
But this … this is what really gets her:
Reading the Ferguson grand jury transcripts, this one line haunts me the most. Darren Wilson re Mike Brown: “it looks like a demon.” IT
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 26, 2014
Everything Darren Wilson said in his testimony was after practicing with his lawyer. STILL he disparaged the community and called Mike “it.”
— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) November 26, 2014
Other members of the Outrage Brigade nodded in agreement:
Research this: That's KKK Speak.@LisaBloom

@LisaBloom letting that disgusting characterization go unchallenged made it clear the DA had no interest in "truth". Purely attack on Brown.

@LisaBloom Don't get me started! I went off when I read that!
— Lisa Campbell (@LisaCampbell102) November 26, 2014
Did you, now? Well get back on, honey. Because, just like Lisa, you left out some pretty important stuff:
@LisaBloom you took that totally out of context.
— Lochlass (@lochlass) November 26, 2014
@LisaBloom in context, he's referring to his face. Read it again.
— Allen Henry (@Allen247Now) November 26, 2014
"Demon" comment and the word "it" were tied back to reference to Brown's "face." The "it" is Brown's face. @LisaBloom @Donna_West
— Witness 40 (@Witness40) November 26, 2014
Lisa, he was referring to MB's face. As you well know. @LisaBloom
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) November 27, 2014
FYI, the “it” Darren Wilson was referring to was the look on Brown’s face. That is an “it” you disgusting hack. @LisaBloom

Hi, @LisaBloom what were the words immediately proceeding that part in the testimony. I’ll wait.

Here you go:
For those pushing the "Wilson called Brown an it", theory, here is the full response from Wilson pic.twitter.com/VMkrFk8RtS

Context is everything, Lisa. You should know that.
So basically, @LisaBloom left out half of the quote, hoping to incite rioters. That is criminal. RT @MomMilkshake: pic.twitter.com/ctoXU9Axtd

At the very least, it’s dishonest. But that’s just par for the course with her.
@LisaBloom You full of BS. Ambulance chaser. You're part of the problem,an enabler.
