The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?

In an unusual move, the global rights organization Amnesty International has dispatched a delegation of observers and organizers to Ferguson, Mo., to provide direct support to community members and to observe the police response to protests. The 13-person delegation, which arrived late last week, was the first of its kind deployed by Amnesty within the United States, the organization said.
The St. Louis suburb has been filled with unrest since since Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, was shot and killed on Aug. 9 by Darren Wilson, a white police officer. That unrest intensified once again on Sunday, with reports of gunshots prompting law enforcement officials to respond with tear gas.
Overnight, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) announced that he’ll send the National Guard into Ferguson.
Amnesty decided to send a delegation to the city last week — a day after Amnesty International USA’s Executive Director Steven Hawkins sent a letter to law enforcement officials there expressing “deep concern” about Brown’s death and the way in which the police responded to protesters in the following days.

And all the anarchists.
Oh nooooo! Don’t tell me the “gentle giant” was “openly gay” too!!!
If you broadcast, they will come.
Unbelievable. I read 25 blacks were killed by other blacks nationwide this weekend. What is the response?
*crickets* *crickets*
Then we got genocide going on the middle east, Christian women and kids being slaughtered? Any Amnesty international reps complaining about that?
Just what Ferguson and the country needs. More radical liberals on the scene.
Yup. I’m sure Amnesty would gave shown up to earlier riots, had they persisted. They’re only here now because it’s lasting so long.
I’d say allow them in. But without escort.
You know what, I have an idea. How about the cops in Ferguson go on strike for a week. Let Amnesty international handle things, see how it goes.
Now we know why Obama showed up. He had to make some phone calls. Next thing you know, these home folks in Ferguson will be given brand new homes to replace those that were vandalized...monthly allowances for a year...and free beer at the whitehouse.
The behavior in Ferguson is like what happened when protests in Cairo, Libya, Syria, Kiev (etc) got out of control. The administration demanded that those protests not be stopped, and went all the way toppling govs, with the violence escalated by probably contrived violence blamed on the gov.
So logically how does the gov not allow the protestors to overthrow the gov if that's what the leaders and those inciting them want? Quite a box the idiots in DC have put us in.
It’s certainly much safer than going to Iraq where they’d face the danger of decapitation or crucifixion.
Exactly. Now, it’s complete. Or, has the ACLU yet to make it? They’d better hurry, they’re getting shown up. Leftist organizations never want to lose their spot in the limelight, it’s bad for business.
...can’t even control our own borders anymore?
How embarrassing...
1st world problems... Someone shooting a theif who charges at them and causing it a human rights crisis...
3rd world problem.... ISIS..ISIL.. yabba dabba doo...
So let’s waste amnesty international’s on this issue here in misery....
Typical leftists morons over at Shamnesty international...
They probably worry more about Gaza then people terrorized by Boko Haram.....
What’s next?
Sending in UN troops?
OK by me. Looks like Ferguson is no better than the average turd-world hellhole.
They wear these cute little lime green baseball hats, and they were wandering around in the middle of the riot zone Friday night looking absolutely gormless.
“Amnesty International has come to Ferguson”
Yeah...tell me where they are staying and I will tell you how comfortable they are with the natives of Ferguson. Someone please show us where they are staying...please, please, please. I’m positive it isn’t in the local Best Western near the shooting.
Please show these frauds for who they really are...please, please, please. If they are staying in a nice neighborhood...they have no credibility, period.
American Christians go into $hitholes all over the world and live right in the villages with the locals.
Amnesty International...go live with the locals in Ferguson, then judge. Until then...STFU!!!
Powder blue helmets make really good targets on any American soil.
American Spring?
