Ben Stein certainly packs a lot of head-scratchers in his recent comments regarding Michael Brown being armed with his "incredibly strong, scary self." But really, just as a thought:
How would Michael Brown disarm? One can lay down a gun or a knife, but how does Michael Brown ever exactly lay aside his size, or the perception of being "scary" to...some people?
It seems like the argument we are having is whether this young man's body was inherently threatening. Another thought, then--
How would he ever have the "reach" on a gun from yards away?

Stein's BS is just more chaff covering the rightwing subtext that 'blacks are inherently dangerous and criminals' which is why conservatives will always justify the killing of black youths.
I guess he would have to actually cut off his own arms. A no-armed guy, even a big one, is not that threatening. "Disarm" indeed!
