“the anger may momentarily subside”

His resignation would be a good start.

I imagine this grand jury took its duty seriously.

The Grand Jury didn’t bend to political correctness. That took courage.

***********
Too bad our so-called leaders don’t have the same courage and integrity. They do everything for purely for political expediency.

The masses decided to vote themselves free stuff. When the takers out number the makers, the makers lose, and the country slowly dies.

Exactly what’s happening now. We are a country is serious decline.

And by the way, our national debt will hit $18 TRILLION in just a few days. Nobody seems to care as long as they keep getting their free stuff from the gubermint.

“The Grand Jury didn’t bend to political correctness. That took courage.”

There apparently still are a few honest people in this country. Frankly, I believe that had the colors been reversed, I would hope that it would have come out EXACTLY the same way.

Is their “racial injustice” in this country even today? Yes, and in addition to that and much, much worse, there are the corrosive effects of 50 years of liberal “help” for the “oppressed”.

Was this incident good example of this injustice? No.

Blacks really wish it was still the 1960s. It’s was like their day in the sun and they want a repeat.

That’s right....to him, it could be worse. He’s doing his best to make it happen.

Obama are you going exact ANY responsibility from YOUR PEOPLE?

I didn’t think so. In your warped mind they can go on living the thug life, loot, kill, rape, knock out whitey - its all OK cuz they are black?

How dare you speak of Rule of Law, you sick, sick delusional liar. Shut up.

The most epic image of my night was the split screen on Fox. The president lecturing us on staying calm (which I muted when he brought up racism) in the right split and fires and tear gas in the left split. To me this image is the icon of this moment in history, and the icon of Obama’s legacy. The first black president...race riots. The ultimate political fail, and I have a copy of the image.

Excellent points, I hope Rush Limbaugh articulates the sentiments in your comments this morning.
