One major difference is that both Holmes and Tsarvaev had just murdered and maimed scores of people and were either in possession or possibly in possession of heavy arms. Mike Brown was not armed and not even approaching a level of threat.

Genie, you're free.
If a person's success in life can be measured by how many people they helped to keep going no matter what by bringing laughter to their hearts and reminding them of the sheer joy of living, then I have to say: hands down, Mr. Robin Williams, you won. Thank you for all the times you touched my heart and made me keep…
It's not irresponsible or ridiculous at all. The question is why did killers not get killed and innocents get killed?

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police.

The pubes are the best part.
I finished the course pretty quickly, but I swear to God that never happens.
Gotta get me one of them Nike+ things and do a li'l bit of Dick Prancercise.

You really put in a lot of effort to comment not once, but twice that this is a slow mile. I bet you're fun at parties.
PANHANDLE GET IT?!?!?!
As someone new to running and also proudly slow as balls I just want to say you sir are very discouraging and also go against every inspirational running quote on Pinterest! What happened to "no matter how slow you're going, your lapping everyone on the couch", huh huh?
This woman is a genius.
