Ferguson demonstrators to march 120 miles to Missouri state capital

By Daniel Wallis and Edward McAllister

FERGUSON, Missouri (Reuters) - Activists gathered in Ferguson, Missouri, on Saturday to begin a 120-mile march to the state capital Jefferson City to protest the killing of an unarmed black teen by a white police officer, a case that has rekindled a national debate over U.S. race relations.

About 100 people were expected to take part in the seven-day march organized by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), with more joining segments of the long walk, NAACP staff member Jamiah Adams told Reuters.

...a case that has rekindled a national debate over U.S. race relations.

“Rekindled” makes it sound like Ferguson is the start of something. In reality it’s the end of something. Namely the end of the average Joe’s automatic acceptance of the modern racial grievance industry’s claims. No one who is paying even cursory attention to the facts of the case can help but recognize what a joke the grievance position is. I think they have undermined themselves this time.

There is a giant backlash coming down the pike.
I just have this feeling.

LOL—somehow I don’t think so. That’s really *work*— or maybe the pay is that good?

They will walk 120 miles for “Justice” but they won’t walk across the street to vote.

[hal ogen]

Why don’t these fools walk to job interviews? Maybe they could walk into prison to save the police the effort and time. I bet if EBT cards could only be used within 10 miles of home, these bums wouldn’t be walking anywhere. Cretins.

[uncitizen]

Ooh that’s an excellent point!

The shuttle bus will have a trailer attached. Needed to backhaul all the Big Screen TVs, microwave ovens, and clothing looted along the way...

[tflabo]

All come to loot on America... plenty of target rich lootin’ stops along the way.

So Michael Brown is the new modern version of Rosa Parks? Poor Rosa sat on her bus seat minding her own business. That fat thug Brown stole cigars and then assaulted a police officer. Morons want to march for that?

[Squantos]

It’s a relay. Each person walks a mile and is replaced by the next person in the chase van.
