It's always the "small group" of troublemakers that ruins it for everyone else, it seems.

Young black males are less than 5% of the population but commit 50% of all murders.

What “segregation”?

As black families moved to nicer areas, exploiting newfound freedom, white neighbours fled.

Sounds as though some of the black neighbors fled, too. So is it a (voluntary) segregation strictly of race or also of motivation to better oneself?

White flight is a familiar phenomenon in many countries but the use of armoured vehicles and sniper nests in the height of a Missouri summer has exposed the extent and consequences of segregation in America’s heartland.

Blame Whitey? And to think I never once associated the President's constant blame game with his skin color. That will now change.

Ferguson is a classic white flight suburb. Why whites fled from St Louis to Ferguson you can figure out. Ferguson Went from 25% black in 1990 to 67% black today and after these riots the white numbers will drop faster. Where will they flee to?

I cannot confirm but have read that Ferguson’s black population increased mostly via Section 8 vouchers.

Meanwhile in many California neighborhoods Mexicans/Hispanics have pushed out blacks. Even in Compton which was famously black and spawned Ice Cub’s rap group in the early 1990s. His group was NWA -— Niggas With Attitude

shot him several times as he ran away with his arms in the air

How has this been established in an ongoing investigation? Stopped reading at this point.

"It's always the "small group" of troublemakers that ruins it for everyone else, it seems."

So true. The race baiters step in before the FACTS and get the uninformed stirred up, then the stupid president and his racist AG make comments that stirs up more emotion and has very little truth in them.

It is almost like this is just what they want.
We are one major catastrophe from some real chaos all over this beautiful country, simply because agitators flap those stupid gums spewing lies and getting the crowd in an uproar. Of course the looters are just there for the free stuff and could care less about the situation. They would be holding up the 7-11 somewhere if the situation had not occurred.

Another factor was racial imbalance: only three of Ferguson’s 53 officers are black (94 per cent white, in other words) and only one of six city councillors is black — a product of disenfranchisement and anaemic political mobilisation in a city where two-thirds of the population is black.

What does the author of this piece mean by "disenfranchisement?" That minorities were forcibly kept from the voting booths?

Criticism from Barack Obama [...] prompted Democratic state governor Jay Nixon to put Ron Johnson, a savvy African American captain of the highway patrol, a separate police force, in charge of Ferguson. It worked. [...] But trouble resumed on Friday night [...]

So the fact that the local police force is 94% White wasn't a factor after all! Imagine that!

[...] when a small group broke away from a peaceful crowd to smash windows, throw bottles and loot the store Brown allegedly robbed, although it was a relatively minor confrontation.

I bet that the shop-owner wouldn't have characterized that as "relatively minor!"

Ferguson’s mayor, James Knowles, who is also white, defended his police officers — the ones who waded in looking like Robocop on steroids.

Nice "fair" reporting, there!

Summa summarum: This article is extremely biased, fails to report on crucial facts, and blatantly unobjective by using words like "segregation" without emphasizing that it was voluntary.

Regards,

Yeah, the Arab Muslims (who brought slavery to the new world) should know all about segregation, bigotry, bias, fanaticism, cruelty, pillaging, rape, incest, pedophiles, murder, honor killings and racism...who are they to judge the USA?

“Overall,” according to the ACLU, “42 percent of people impacted by a SWAT deployment to execute a search warrant were Black,” and yet black people comprise just over 12 percent of the national population.

It exposes the need for repatriation of those claiming nationality other than American!

Why should we alone have the privilege of supporting those that don't even claim to be American first?

They claim nationality other than American, stop welfare payments and ship em out!

>>“I keep my sons shuttered at home because of situations like this. Young black men have targets painted on their backs… this stuff’s been going on for years,” said Kesheara Ross, 26, a protester.

She is out in the streets over this, but how many young black men have been killed by other young black men in St. Louis metro this year? Why wasn’t Kesheara out in the street then?

I don’t blame her for keeping her sons on a short leash, but her stated reasons for doing so appear very disingenuous. Anyone with a lick of sense knows where the real danger lies.

Several factors contributed to the eruption. Brown, it emerged on Friday, had allegedly robbed a convenience store minutes before a police officer, Darren Wilson, apparently shot him several times as he ran away with his arms in the air.

Turn him around and he was charging the officer and at 6' 4", 292 pounds and after he had already assaulted the cop, he was shot in self defense.

Bring in the clowns, fat al, jesse and eric with the fbi, the justice boys and we have more reasons to blame the conservatives for not voting in the 2012 elections.

Essentially the idiot writer said something could be “too black.”

~Delmar Boulevard formed a demarcation line known to all: north of it, 98 per cent of the population is black (median income, $18,000); to the south, 73 per cent white (median income, $50,000)~

And what? This article smells like another piece of a class warfare.

A memorial to little Mikey, cut down in the prime of his life; a good boy, who never did nothing to
nobody. Condoms and Mad Dog 20/20, how appropriate.

She's 26 years old, and has at least two sons that are grown men?

Who the heck can blame any decent person fleeing the atheistic evil of these inhumane, unthinking and amoral people that come into their neighborhoods with drug addiction and violent crimes and the entitlement mentality. Nobody respects that disgusting lack of character.

Who the heck can blame any decent person from preventing these atheistic amoral people from infiltrating their more decent communities - nobody decent wants to live in a sewer and nobody decent wants sewers leaking all over their communities. These people are the sewage of humanity and have no values anyone wants their families exposed to - it’s like a disease - quarantine it.

And these types of people prove their lack of decent human values every single day and we are witnessing their proving it yet again on national and international television from Ferguson, MO.

My advice to these people looting and vandalizing and shooting and race pimping in Ferguson - look at yourselves on television and see the lowlife freaks you are. Now ask yourselves, who in their right mind would want to be your neighbor?

“White flight”.

I guess they would prefer whites stick around and be murdered. Shame on whites for staying alive.
