As I'm writing this, people are in the streets in Ferguson, Missouri for the sixth night in a row. Journalists are being threatened and detained—not arrested, so, God forbid, they will not have their day in court and force some semblance of legal reckoning—and therefore kept from performing their duties. These are duties which are, remember, firmly and unequivocally protected by the very first amendment to this country's supreme law.

Amnesty International, the human rights organization normally found in war zones like Gaza and near terrorist organizations such as ISIS, have dispatched observers to Ferguson, their first time ever doing so in the United States. This is not a move they make lightly; they didn't do it in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and they didn't do it after the L.A. riots. It’s done now because they recognize that human rights are being violated.

Acts of despotism are being carried out, by a mostly white militarized police force, upon a mostly black, mostly lower class populace. When our President addressed the situation in Missouri today, cutting short his vacation in part to do so, he said that the people of Ferguson should be calm and stifle the “small minority” who are undermining the peaceful protests with their violence.

Speak for yourself, a$$hat.

It takes a village to raise an idiot.

Sorry, I work for a paycheck. My bad!

FYI, I was just kidding. Actually, he used a knife, because no spears were available.

You’re right. I Fed them, housed them, medicated them, provided publik ed for them, cleaned up their riots, thefts, murder and mayhem, basicly enabled them and their parasitic life for the better part of my 53 years.

Whatcha say we stop that? Let’s see how long this Cancer on Society survives without a host to live off of!

We could start be demanding anyone causing mayhem in Ferguson would immediately lose all social services for life.
The streets would be barren tonight!

Black population is the most “pampered” citizens in this country..and still they complain.

There’s no reason they shouldn’t have to work for their benefits.....put them out there on community service...and if they’re fathering children and not providing for them jail period...and a lengthy jail sentence. A years jail for every month they refuse to pay....per child!

OK, James Joiner. I’m at fault.

I pay my taxes. I’m white. I show the police respect. I have issues with thieves. I rely on myself.

Mea culpa . . .

...and who militarized the local police departments across the country????

Answer: The Black president and his cadre of Post Modernist Progressives. The excuse is sometimes that if citizens have military style arms, the police need to have stronger arms.

The problem is that the Blacks were never the intended target of the militarized police. The targets were supposed to be TeaParty tip homegrown terrorists and members of the NRA.

But the Statists in charge are not above nuance and are adept at pivoting to take political advantage of any crisis and control the narrative.

Before the age of the internet and conservative talk radio, this was the narrative most Americans had to read...the narrative of the clueless, white liberal who identifies with the "downtrodden" and "oppressed" black underclass. I doubt few libs like Joiner actually interact with the BU. They're probably safely ensconced many miles away from the criminal class.

Let's have Joiner join (ha ha) a policeman on his rounds in the inner city for a few months, and then see what he thinks. Better yet, have Joiner walk around the ghetto past midnight for a few weeks, unarmed, and see how he fares.

"perps are not responsible"

White libs have been spewing this garbage for fifty years...it is never the fault of the dead, black perp. There must always be some evil white person who is forcing the poor, innocent black child to do things that gets him killed. Perish the thought that blacks are responsible for their actions.

Also reminds me of the best conservative cartoon show ever, Rocky And His Friends. I especially remember the Dudley Do-Right episode where Snidely Whiplash was on trial and defended by Nell Fenwick. Nell argued that society was responsible for Snidely’s crimes against the protests of Dudley and Nell’s father Inspector Fenwick. Snidely smiled innocently at the jury the whole time.

This was where David Horowitz exactly, exceept he was a communist, a red diaper baby. This held until the Black Panthers murdered the bookkeeper, because she had the goods on the fraud and theft going on. Other's stayed true.
