Do you respect Michael Brown as much as Vladimir Putin?

There has been a lot of talk recently about how so many people on the right respect Putin for his strength and toughness.  They claim that it does not matter how evil Putin's motives are because they can still respect him for being a tough guy.

But I don't think he is any tougher than Michael Brown.  Remember how tough he was when he stole those cigars from that convenience store?

So those of you who respect Putin must have also respected Michael Brown.  Nothing deserves out praise more than a thug who is not afraid to use his power, right?
