Liberal failures and the real lessons of Ferguson
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/29/14 | Tom Delay

We still don’t have all the facts about happened in Ferguson, but we can already draw one big lesson

Clearly, something tragic happened during the confrontation on the street that day that left a young man dead and a community in chaos. Certainly, our hearts go out to the family and we can all hope that the investigation into what happened will be swift, thorough and fair to all parties.

Liberalism’s drive for state control

Already, of course, the shooting of Michael Brown has sparked a much bigger debate on a range of topics, from the state of civil rights in America and community policing methods to the growing militarization of local police forces. For some, of course, Ferguson is all about race, hatred and division, and many of those who have come to the grieving community since the shooting have been all too anxious to push that narrative.

Is this ‘Tom Delay’ the same ‘Tom Delay’ of Texas fame?

All the author has to say is largely true. It’s been true for the last 60 years. The fact that its true is pointless because as a fact it’s been long ignored and will always continue to be ignored.

The greater truth of Ferguson is that it points to the abject foolishness of having a suburban community that is 66.667% African with a White Mayor, a White city council and a White police force. Imagine for a moment that the opposite had been the case. A suburban community 2/3 white with an African Mayor, City council and police force.

I can only imagine the “tragedy” of Ferguson was caused by sheer greed and avarice of the whites in office and city jobs who should have more rightly left years ago.

The lesson of Ferguson is simple. When you, as a white person, wake up of a day and realize your severely in the minority and that there are 2/3 more Africans than whites in your region...get the hell out of town or be prepared to suffer the consequences. And more importantly, don’t try to be the Mayor of such a region, much less a beat cop.

No.
The fact is that we know EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
Now, the left must LIE about it to further their cause.
The rule of law is OVER.

The lessons to be learned from Ferguson is that if you are an easily identifiable huge, arrogant, fat black thug that just strong arm robbed a convenience store with your buddy and feeling invincible... don’t walk down the middle of the street nearby calling even more attention to yourself... don’t attack a policeman and try to take his gun and cause it to go off in his car... and don’t run straight at him when he orders you to stop. That is called suicide by stupidity.
