Don’t these fine folks have jobs to go to? You know, those shovel ready jobs this incredible president created for them? Why aren’t they busy? Where are the jobs?

Hate missed the Abbott and Costello duo ... Wow!!! Glad wasn’t in that vehicle with them ... LOL .. Would have been telling them about the Halls of Karma ... This duo would have probably have tried to throw me out into the street while the vehicle was moving.

Still believe there are more good people than bad people in the United States. Am probably wrong when looking the worldwide thingy, but it ain’t over and won till it’s over and won and Ferguson Leaders had a Great night (imho). The looters, agitators and many of press ... not so much a good night for those three aforementioned and that is a Great thing to witness.

How many times have we heard that going into Iraq only made the situation worse?

Funny we don’t hear that now.

They don’t want some thug with a gun getting shot and killed or it’ll be yet another ‘senseless murder of a promising teenager by militarized police.’

Seriously.

I watched quite a bit of this.

IMHO, most of the press has been a sick...and I mean, sick...joke.

Half or more of them might as well join the ranks of the outsiders agitating for violence. Many of the rest are incompetent.

Johnson, IMHO is far too lenient and in sync with the thoughts of many of the protectors who are isolating police orders. Either give an order r on’t, but if you do, enforce it. Otherwise you embolden the crininal element. .But that is why he was brought in there in an attempt to placate them. To some extent it is working...but not with the hard core trouble makers who are either:

1) Pushing a violent agenda, wanting chaos to advance their political and ideological views, or

2) Criminls looking to be ble to loot and stel nd omit ahem under the cover of the violence.

The most hopeful thing I saw were the lines of peaceful, black protestors interposing themselves between law enforcement keeping the violent ones back...and then later working with law enforcement to point out the real troublemakers. Probably half of the arrests last night were a result of that.

God bless and keep those people...they were heroes and represent the bet in America. The did yoeman’s work lat night and had to really be a surprise and a huge hindersnce to those trying to use ll of this for political purposes.

As with Trayvon Martin,, again we have a false narrative of a peaceful, young black boy, brazenly gunned down by whites, in this case a white police officer.

The truth is not even remotely close to that.

What you had was a giant, strong armed robber/thug who refused a lawful police request to get out of the middles of the street. Then when the officer got the report of his robbery and went to question him, the 6’6”, 290 pound 18 year old, who was not overweight, but very fit...first argued with, then struggled with the police officer trying to keep him in his vehicle. When a shot rang out during that struggle, the criminal ran. When the police officer gave chase and ordered him to stop, the big man charged the officer and was fatally shot.

That’s what went on, and all of it needs to be investigated...but not abjectly lied about, which is what is going on, to push a political agenda in the ensuing chaos.

Interesting contrast between cnn and fox coverage this morning.

Fox shows the looting footage (focus on thugs) but also showing overall tear gassing etc.

CNN shows the police using tear gas (focus on police). Interesting how they can shape perceptions just by excluding video.

correct about if the media left and the rioters would go home , but we have to remember most of the media are Dems who need to push this for the Dems to get their votes out from blacks as they have nothing else to run on.
Remember Sharpton talking about getting out the vote there? Then there was the registration table right across the road from where the thug got shot.
Now if that is not tacky and sending a clear message from the Dems then I don’t know what is.

- DISPARATE & BIASED TREATMENT BY GOVERNMENTS &/or LAW ENFORCEMENT :

- - Obama & Holder rush to hang a police officer : (both have admitted records of Felony Acts)

- Fort Hood #1 - radical Muslim killer of unarmed US Military personnel

- Fort Hood #2 - radical Muslim killer of unarmed US Military personel

- radical Barack Muslim killer - Barack American fragged a tent of US soldiers pre Desert Storm

- Mexico/Frito Banditos - Mexican government hold a US Marine for ????? months

- Chicago Chicago - (that toddlin’ town)

Baracks are not “special” &/or deserving of Affirmitive Action &/or a “Free Pass”

- - 6’4” / 300 pound “Little Mikey” Brown would get a minimum of two (2) years in state prison for attacking &/or striking a law enforcement officer - plus much more for attempting to grab a cop’s handgun (I could cite the exact case but I am not dumb enough to let Obama/Holder put me on their Barack racist hit-list)

Obama is not medically well is my gut reaction. I am surprised more people don’t talk about it. It is very noticeable.

I don’t disagree with your statement, given most Americans are not black leaders.

Playing some Frank Sinatra rather loudly may send the punks running.
