Protesters shouted Hands up, dont shoot as they gathered at the protest, echoing the chant that has taken hold in Ferguson witness accounts say Brown had his hands up when he was shot dead two weeks ago.
T-shirts read Black man walking, dont shoot, Black lives matter and I have a dream, in reference to the most famous speech by the assassinated 1960s civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
Im here today because I dont want my nephews, who are aged one, two and three, to have to march when their generation grows up, said Carolyn Butts, 47, who publishes African Voices magazine, as she headed towards the protest.

Occutard rhetoric. “Here, hold these signs”.
Saw a black man selling “we are the 47%” shirts (who pay no taxes) outside the polls in 2012 (early voting).

This was over when the police released the robbery video. There is no traction on this story. Everything since then are involuntary nerves shutting down.

They need dash cams to cut down on malicious prosecutions by liberal pols, as well ambulance-chasing lawsuits by shysters.

I have absolutely no regard for this crap.
If these people would read and research, they wouldn't make these dumb ass statements...instead, they would work toward keeping their kids in school, providing a sound, moral upbringing, fight the drug culture and teach them the real diversity of life, instead of the "I'm black, therefore I'm a victim" stuff of the Al Sharpless and Jesse Jackasses.

I’d be tempted to federally fund tours to places like Sierra Leone and Liberia for blacks to get a good look at how bad things can really be.

I don’t think I have ever seen so much ignorance in my life. Can people really be stupid enough to believe that the police are the biggest threat to the lives of young black males? I don’t think there’s any hope for people who are so delusional and ignorant.

You're darn right we don't want any more hopped-up, thieving thugs, pushing around shop keepers from whom they've just stolen, and then beating down and trying to disarm police officers.
They are saying that the gentle giant, Saint Swisher Sweets, was looking forward to matriculating in college in the fall.
Would that be another affirmative action appointment like Odumbo and Eric "The Red" Holder?
We don't need any more affirmative action appointments either.

Irresponsible parenting, fatherless homes, unwed single mothers on public assistants, supporting, encouraging and continuing the thug lifestyle with thier young, the young emulating thier parents in all aspects of irresponsibility. Sounds like these issues are thier issues and they want to blame someone other than themselves for thier problems. Look within or is it to ugly and painful. You would rather blame us with the help of the media, feckless politicians and your very own candy man the black plantation owners who are the real ones who are keeping on the farm. Infinitesimal amounts of tax payer monies have been squandered into your communities and programs and still we have to pay, how long how long?
To: Citizen Zed
Good. Take guns away from cops and stuff like that won’t happen. (sarc)

Ferguson_Brown Tshirts are becoming SO popular that even the people who brew Obies Favorite beer even got in on the trend.
