DON LEMON, CNN: First With Marc Lamont Hill, let's talk. You are in New York City. The gentleman there, he said he is up in Harlem. He's marching. He said listen, this generation, we have a voice and they don't want police brutality. He's got to get back to Staten Island. That's another issue. But we're looking, you know, at the protesters there. Is this a generational thing? Is this a young people's movement, Marc Lamont Hill?
MARC LAMONT HILL, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: It absolutely is. You know, Dr. King used to say when dogs bite us in Birmingham, we bleed everywhere. I mean, this is a reenactment of that practice, you know. Someone got hurt in Ferguson and we're bleeding everywhere. You see around the country protest. The protest chants in Ferguson last night was if we don't get it, shut it down.
You see people shutting down highways. You see people shutting down roads. You see people shutting down games and operas over the last few months. It's an exciting moment for young protesters. As again, the violence is one thing. And we can bracket that for a moment and talk about the 99.9 percent of the protesters who are trying to make change in the spectacle of protests and through organized action, cop watch programs, educational intervention, voter registration drives. This is what activism is like. This is what democracy looks like.
LEMON: Yes. This is what democracy looks like. You sound like you've been out there, Marc Lamont Hill, among protesters.

aka The Mob Rules
The rioters could burn down his house, and we’d see what he’d say then.
This is why the Founders wanted a Constitutional Republic rather than a democracy. Their fears were borne out a few years later by the French Revolution, which was a democracy.
He’s exactly right. This is what a democracy looks like. And that ain’t good. Some prefer the rule of law in a republic.
Precisely why the founders chose a republican form of government, not a democracy. Funny how Lamont’s degrees haven’t made him any smarter. I can’t imagine he was graded differently than anyone else.
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
They want a big government and yet think they can limit the police at the same time.
I believe it works like this:
The .1% shoot some of the 99.9%, and the 99.8% that are left fall in line pretty quickly, and Marc Lamont Hill's "democracy" suddenly looks like a dictatorship.
In dumps like Ferguson.
It shows you how well the Democrats have done in their ongoing effort to keep Blacks ignorant and voting on their planation. This guy is bucking to work in the big house.
And this is what republicism looks like...
Yeah, this is what democracy looks like in Africa or a banana republic.....
Thanks Hussein.
Im rather surprised that there were no “NECKLACINGS” in ferguson.
Yes, the Founders and Framers knew that very well. Democracy is mob rule. That is why they created a nation with a republican form of government structured by the US Constitution, and furthermore established the requirement that every state also have a republican form of government.
Those Temple Blacks are sure great for the news...
No, This what anarchy looks like!
Is it possible a black hole swallowed up Ferguson?
