Unrest has broken out for a second night in a St. Louis suburb where a young unarmed black man was fatally shot by police.

I think they are more uncivilized, than they are angry. It’s just how they (mis)behave.

Unrest has broken out

Big Media lies.

Again.

"Unrest" does not "break out".

Evil people choose to riot, commit burglary, robbery and Arson for their own evil purposes.

Meanwhile 2-4 dozen young black men will be shot by other black men in Chicago in the next seven days.

Does the angry mob have the tear gas and tanks, or do the police have them? I think today’s “reporters” just type something on their tablets and email it right to the printing presses! ;)

Read the article. The police are using the tear gas and I presume the rubber bullets.

The parallel will be drawn, to be sure.

“Unrest has broken out for a second night in a St. Louis suburb where a young unarmed black man was fatally shot by police.”

This has to win an award for the stupidest politically correct sentence ever written.

1. It is not “unrest”. It is violent vicious criminals burning down and looting stores, stealing ATM machines throwing bricks and bottles at cars and threatening to kill innocent people.

2. Unrest doesn’t “break out”. This is a failure to use the English language correctly because correct words must be replaced by a vague, incoherent phrase.

3. The use of the excuse of the death of a young man to loot stores sometimes miles away from where he lived is reprehensible. Criminal activity is common in this area. This is just a slightly higher level of violent crime. The implication is that somehow the store owners and innocent bystanders participated in the death of the young man. That could not be more stupid. But it is necessary to pretend that the looters and rioters are not at fault, the store owners and other victims are.

This is good; it destroys the myth that our token president has done a damn thing to improve anyone’s lot, especially that of the unassimilated permanent underclass.

Blacks I work with are (like whites) much worse off since Obama took office; this advertises that to the world.

The TopRightNews page linked for this article contains something that took down my entire computer. Not just IE11. I had to reboot the whole machine.
