This city is really on edge. You can feel the tension in the air.

I hope the cameras are in place but still, you Yankees don’t know how to riot worth a dam.

Another day, another mob of rioting blacks.

What difference does it make now? They will either be rioting to “celebrate” or to show displeasure at the verdict. Not much difference than when a sports team wins or loses.

(from the near-suburbs) The tension is heightened awareness. The cinema mayham a few months ago was successfully diffused by several local PDs. There were reporters who tried to gin it up by finding parents upset that their little darlin's were dispersed, and that's upsetting. After that, some inner city folk caused some mayhem and injury at a Parma ChuckECheese and an Independence Denny's. We wonder if people who just want to destroy things will try to start a situation they can rally around.

Everyone was more than a little upset that the Police Chief let the Ferguson-inspired protests disrupt things last year. I think the city is ready for anticipated flashpoints. What they have to watch out for are things that don't happen on schedule.

I hope Cleveland gets through it without chaos. We're not like Baltimore and Ferguson, where folks were naïve enough or stupid enough to think the chaos would ebb on its own.

If the cop is not guilty, how is it “justice” to convict him anyways?

may the HAPPY FACE memorials not turn sour...

Free liquor and TV’s coming soon to a town near you.

Too late. The community organizers, race pimps, vultures, looters, etc. are already in place and planning the riots way ahead of these folks. Sad.

Anybody remember the Hough Riots?
National Guard called in for that one.
At that time, we lived in the thick of it all.
I could look out the window and could see a jeep full of soldiers with weapons just feet from the house.
On top of the bus stop, were two more soldiers with what looked to my child eyes,a weapon similar to a machine gun.
God,how I wanted out of that neighborhood.

Media: “Oh are you planning to burn down something? Wait- let me get set up for a good shot”

[robowombat]

Anyone remember when Fred ‘Ahmad’ Adams and the merry men of the ‘Black Liberation Army’ went to war with the Cleveland PD in the summer of ‘68. That was one the media had to report but dropped it as soon as they did the minimum reporting. After all here was a group of heavily armed blackamoors led by a crazed racial fanatic that set up a large ambush and drew police in by having a shooting and then waiting for lots of police to gather and then dropped the ambush on them. This was a real war and all perpetrated by black revolutionaries with a distinct Black Muslim twist to their organization. This incident just like the San Francisco Zebra Murders has been shoved down the memory hole.
