Chanting “hands up, don’t shoot,” marchers walked under a police escort, pausing in intersections for bullhorn-amplified speeches as they wound their way through Capitol Hill and into downtown Seattle, ending at the U.S. District Courthouse at Seventh Avenue and Stewart Street.

Organizers, including representatives of the Seattle King County NAACP and United Black Christian Clergy, said the march was to demand a federal criminal indictment of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

While the march was peaceful, the rhetoric was fiery, as demonstrators carried signs declaring “Jail Killer Cops” and “America Hates Black People.” Speakers decried what they said is deeply entrenched discrimination in law enforcement and government.

Is it possible these dunces have not seen the photos of Brown roughing up the store clerk where he stole the cigars?

They would never allow the facts to destroy the Myth of the Gentle Giant.

“Is there a virus, A genetic basis or some solar phenomena or something that causes people to WANT to make themselves look like idiots? Because it happens a lot.”

Thousands, perhaps millions of years of human civilization progressing, “evolving”, learning, developing technology - to landing little droids on comets and a zillion people carrying smart phones, but the actual human is still stuck on stupid. Astounding.

In pain? if you don’t have to drive I5, SR520 or I405 to work everyday, where’s the pain?

Community in pain???

Get yer frickin priorities right.

You didn’t cry about the 18 blacks who died this weekend in Chicago?

7 in Dallas?

11 in KC?

other numbers abd statistics around the country?

Michael Brown, who demonstrated he was in fact a robber and a thug moments before, on film, is precious, kind, gentle and innocent?

Get over your self.

Why not work on improving the character of the children, men and women of your segregated community.?

Be an agent if change and stop being a victim.

Winners aren’t victims. They adapt, they overcome and persevere.

Don’t be a whiner, be a winner.
