When a couple of black gang thugs shoots some poor little boy or girl try and find a witness even though half the neighborhood probably saw it-but when some white cop shoots a black gang-banger suddenly the witnesses come from miles away.

Even back in 1957, driving from Scott AFB through East St. Louis across the bridge required a prudent driver to have a cocked 1911, strategically placed under a pillow on the passenger’s seat.

Is this looting day 2 or looting day 3? Looting is the first stage of grieving, right? What’s the second stage?

Quite reasonable. Liquor stores have always been an allegorical representation of oppression by the mostly white oppressor class.

Well, that and free booze and new flat screen TV’s are an elegant expression of the internal rage generated by years of slavery and losing several of the last crap games.
