Ferguson’s black community must not be given the same ‘justice’ as Trayvon Martin
The Manchester Guardian ^ | August 22, 2014 | Gary Younge in Ferguson

Posted on 08/23/2014 12:25:40 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Only the courts can judge Michael Brown’s killer – but this is the system that let George Zimmerman walk free.

Just outside a mall in Ferguson, Missouri, shortly after 10 o’clock on Wednesday, a black man in his 30s was stopped and frisked by around eight white policemen. As he gingerly emptied his pockets, careful not to move too quickly, he yelled at them. It was a soliloquy of pure rage; a fluent, apparently unstoppable oration against not just the men who had apprehended him but the system they represented.

“Yes I’m angry,” he shouted. “Four hundred years we been here. We built this place for free and y’all still hate us.” A man filming the incident was told to move on but did not budge. When the police let the pedestrian go (whatever they were looking for he didn’t have), the man recording went too. “I’ve done my job,” he said.

“All books about all revolutions begin with a chapter that describes the decay of tottering authority or the misery and sufferings of people,” wrote Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski in Shah of Shahs. “They should begin with a psychological chapter, one that shows how a harassed, terrified man breaks his terror and stops being afraid. This unusual process demands illuminating. Man gets rid of fear and feels free.”

For the past fortnight, the black population of this St Louis suburb has been shedding its fear. Since Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was shot six times while raising his hands in a surrender position, they have asserted their humanity in ways big and small, beautiful and ugly. Every night they marched up the main drag in the black part of town, past militarised encampments of heavily armed police, chanting: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, killer cops have got to go.”(continued)

The author, an admitted communist, thinks that a small minority is going to start a revolution?

By all means, start a fight. The problem with these kind of wars is that they escalate. There is the Law of Unintended Consequences.

They already have a death grip on the courts, the media, schools, and get away with threats on a regular basis.

This is not very well thought out. A small minority may start it, but I seriously question whether they can finish it. If there is a communist take over, rather than being in charge, they will be the first ones lined up against the wall and shot. Wanna be commies never seem to understand that.

I can’t help but think that ‘social justice” is defined as whitey laying down as a black man beats you to death. Sad stuff to admit. Until the race pimps stop referring to our black American citizens as “African” Americans this nonsense will continue. I am just as African as my black friends. In other words NOT AT ALL. We’re American. I’ve never called myself a Polish American. I’m a frickin American.

No. This is the system that punished George Zimmerman for defending himself against a black thug.

Listening to this guy, he's not your average public school Sheeple.

He's a rent-a-Marxist, shipped in from Berkeley by the Rats

The interactions between these angry Marxist speakers and the MSM "reporter" is contrived political street theater. It's an Alinsky tactic called the "Diamond strategy" -- used at public meetings, to make society believe these nuts are more numerous in the audience & in the political arena than they really are.

Shaddup and sit down, you jerk.

Should those business destroyed by the resulting riots sue The UK ‘s Guardian ?
These are inflamatory lies designed to create unrest published in a UK left wing publication about the circumstances involving the death of a black thug who was killed while assulting a local police officer that wound up in a hospital.

The author, an admitted communist, thinks that a small minority is going to start a revolution?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It started in 2007. America has its head in the sand.

Ho hum. Obama has crapped the pooch. $hite the bed. Like most late second term Dem prexidents with failed policies, he has created a war. This one will be a World War.

Thank you to all those who voted for Obama the Usurper. The Nobel Peace Prize winner without a dinner.He is a snake that is fulfilling our Free Republic prophecy that he would bring death and genocide to millons of human beings. This was predicted after we observed his conduct in Kenya in 2006/2007, when he counselled Odinga of the radical Islamist Orange party to creat mayhem and genocide through protesting the 2007 Kenyan election results. The result was that thousands died, including 70 old men, women and children in an incinerated church, after the Orange party terrorists locked every door and window, and applied the torch.Obama is nothing but a curse on the world, a horrible blight on the plant of American liberty.

We saw the future writing of history on the fascist wall in 2007, but no statement we could make would make any difference to a nation traduced by emotional inducement , and a disguised radical evangelistic Obama.

NOW we are saddled with an isolated, disconnected, treasonous so called president, who will destroy our nation rather than compromise his leftist principles to comply with the Constitution he swore to defend.He rejects his own Secretary of Defence and those who would defend our nation.

The entire free world and its innocent inhabitants will suffer horribly through starvation and disease. Sons and daughters will go to war and die for several generations, and nuclear warfare is a distinct probability rather than a remote possibility, as it was at the outset of the term of President Obama, the Reamer/Dreamer.

May Obama and every one of his running dogs rot in hell.Cursing the day he was born and his first breath will become common fodder to a nation that would at one time have deserved much better, but fell asleep at the switch and bought the created pap and emotional imagery fabricated by the left in America ( Zowie!...swoon....Americas FIRST BLACk president, as if his race would wash away any imperfections that dare manifest as it already had done in his true historical record, skillfully obscured.). America , you have been had.

All America can do now is bend over and take it right up the collective arse.And vote for another leftist in 2016 too, and watch the complete fall of a once great nation as it decends into Ferguson, Missouri style discivilization, brought about by hooting street apes with their pants down below their butts, championed by a nutter, cross eyed, caucasian phobic, radical Attorney General, Eric Holder.We have seen the mirror of America’s future, and it is disaster writ large.

Everyone who has the means should get out of a sinking nation while they can and if not, then move out of the cities and urban areas into the wide open rural areas of America.Buy a rifle and as much ammo as you can. Much worse is yet to come as Obama unleashes the dogs of demographic and conventional warfare on a still unsuspecting nation that voted to suffer its own treason. SHAME ON YOU!

What we have seen in Ferguson will be spread to every corner of America as planned by the well organized and well funded left. A lynch mob. Nothing more.

The Republican party is out to lunch. They do not even know what is happening.So we are done. Defeated. A lost nation down on its knees with international carrion collectors about to feed on the twitching corpse of a once great nation.

Ferguson is nothing more than a manifestation of civil rot.

Four hundred years we been here.

This guy is a regular Ponce de Leon, as he has found the Fountain of Youth. I need to find out how he has been able to reach this age... it's gotta be more than yogurt.

The fact is that today's disenchanted have no relation to slaves (and freemen) from the 1700's.
