It's not even certain that a crime was committed. A longer version of the security footage makes it look like Brown paid for his pack of Rellos.

If I were Fox, I'd be more worried about defamation or libel lawsuits.

KJ, yes

SPK, you cannot defame a dead person. Defamation is a cause of action for damage to your reputation. The general rule is that once you're dead, your reputation is of no value to you

Fox News also went to court over the ability to straight-up lie on the air, and won.

"Ask a Black Dude." Thanks, Fox!

Let's test this out.
Abe Lincoln fucked dogs.
Walt Disney's mustache was made from the pubic hair of Filipino boys and spirit glue.
Marie Curie huffed paint and had a lifelong, very vocal hatred of Gypsies.
George Washington Carver killed and ate George Washington.
FDR never had polio, he was just too lazy to stand.

Thanks ashtar

You need to try defaming a dead person whose image is sold by an douchey estate and generates income.

So dead actors that had leading roles in movies that are still popular, leading musicians whose works aren't public domain, authors, etc.

There's no money in historical figures, and estates cant sell history, so no one will bother with the expense of suing you.

Politicians don't own the right to their image, so you can technically say anything about them.

Obama is a Secret Kenyan Muslim Terrorist.

Dick Cheney rapes babies.

Al Franken has never once been funny.

I've been trying to figure out what happened because there have been totally different stories playing out in the media. It's fucking ridiculous.

The store is now saying he didn't steal anything, probably because they don't want to lose business or become the object of anger from the community after the riots.
