So, in other words, you have no facts to refute the claim.  That's kinda what I thought.  It just HAD to be someone else...because....it just has to be    :o

I suggest that since snopes is a vastly more respected authority than you will ever be, that the burden of proof lies upon you. No way that guy is 6'5" tall.

Without a measuring tool, or something else to use as a basis of comparison, within the shot, I'd opine that the person could very well be 6'5".  Now, prove he isn't

Six foot five is very tall. Comparing this guy to the others there makes it pretty clear that they are all about the same height.

I will take snopes over you any day of the week.

Perspective is everything.  Most people think Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise are over 6ft, but when they stand next to people that one KNOWS their height, then you can deduce an actual height, which in their cases, is no more than 5ft 8".  If you look at a huddle of football players, most all look the same height.  But when you put them next to a referee, the actual height becames apparent.  Point being, simply standing next to another person means nothing, unless you know the height of the other.  The others could be nearly as tall.  I'll take truth over yours and snopes non-valid assumptions, any and every day of the weel

I don't know the people involved well enough to recognize them in this video, but whoever they are I see them needing arrest pretty badly.

If this isn't Michael Brown, perhaps he still needs arrest.

If the topic is Michael Brown, then this video is not sufficient without a good connection, perhaps the person shooting this video could tell where and when it happened.

It is unclear why they are beating up this guy. Still, this is seriously bullying, and the person shooting the video is more an accomplice of the perps than the victim, and I do not  think that the guy who recorded this would voluntarily reveal anything. This is clearly a case of assault and battery. 

There were phony Trevon tapes, and this is a phony Michael Brown tape. 

The accuser (in this case the person accusing this of being a tape featuring Michael Brown) always bears the obligation to prove the accusation.  Snopes I have found to be trustworthy. sirs and CU4 will believe anything that favors their reactionary anti-Black cause.

Showing a black victim of a sickening "black on black" assault is "anti-Black"?
Ha Ha...yeah sure.
What is anti-black is your ilk sensationalizing "white on black" incidents
diverting attention away from the much larger problem of "black on black" crime.

It is simply fraudulent  to claim that a video that is supposedly shows Michael Brown as a thug that is not actually a video of Michael Brown proves that Michael Brown somehow deserves the death penalty .

It's even more fraudulent to claim that Brown deserved a death penalty by anyone that doesn't agree with your mutated POV
