What an incompetent governor!
He should be held personally responsible for all the damage and lost wages. Like that’s gonna happen...
He was most likely stupidly following the orders of Eric Holder and Al Sharpton, who wanted a big firey explosion.
They got their wish, and they (the black separatists) got almost no blame for the outcome. That will be the Mayor’s problem. Time for some new lies, Mayor Nixon.
This is not new news.
From the get-go, Police and National Guard units were pulled back from the action in Ferguson to allow the rioters and looters to protest and destroy.
This allowed Captain Johnson, Al Sharpton and other racists free reign to egg on the rioters and allowed for far greater damage in Ferguson than if authorities were allowed to maintain law and order.
One must never, never, never resist a Negro riot.
According to the article the Governor was in contact with Valerie, “Stand Down” Jarrett at lest twice on the night of the verdict. Hmmmmmm
IMPEACH NIXON !
“Valerie Jarrett [a top adviser to President Obama] has talked to Gov. Nixon twice, once last night and once this morning,” White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters on Nov. 25, the second day of rioting, according to a media pool report at the time. Schultz said Jarrett was “receiving updates on what’s happening on the ground there and also promising to stay in touch.”
They don’t want to anger the street savages. Better to let them loot and burn than to arrest them and put them in jail where they belong.
The National Guard is under state control until Federalized by the President (title 10). It would seem to be a violation of the law for the President either directly or via his minoms to dictate the movement of the Guard- especially in time of state emergency.
I can also tell you that Guardsmen were sitting in a Bus the night of the riot. They were not deployed around "700 sites in the city and county" as claimed by Nixon.
Listening to “The Dana Show” discuss this very topic with the Missouri Lt. Gov. as I type. This goes far beyond Gov. Nixon, but all the way to the WH.
Big surprise, I know.
you get what you vote for....
I hope the people of Missouri have learned their lesson.
