Michael Brown Protesters Show Up At CNN’s Atlanta Headquarters
Daily Caller ^ | 8/19/2014 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 08/19/2014 4:08:53 PM PDT by McGruff

Hundreds of protesters gathered in the rain outside of CNN headquarters in Atlanta Monday to voice their outrage over the network’s coverage of the Michael Brown shooting.

According to CNN contributor Hilary Rosen, the angry crowd was frustrated over the network’s “smearing” of Brown, who was fatally shot by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson on August 9.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, protesters gathered at the network’s headquarters, the CNN Center, located in Atlanta.

With chants of “no justice, no peace,” the protesters marched a mile to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

It is unclear why the protesters showed up to CNN headquarters. The demonstration was organized using the Twitter hashtag #ItsBiggerThanYou.

"I must be watching a different CNN, because they have basically condemned the police officer, found him guilty etc."

Not surprising since they deliberately turned their head to Saddam Hussein's atrocities just so they could keep their Baghdad office.

“Here about 90m north of Atlanta I witnessed an exchange of the Big Mike ‘salute’ between two black employees at Wendy’s. “


I hope you walked out and complained to corporate——I would have.

Maybe CNN can sacrifice themselves for the cause and hurl themselves off the roof

I’d be on the phone SO fast to Wendy’s corporate headquarters. I would also be afraid to eat there. Would you trust such idiots as those two not to spit into the food served white patrons?

This is evidence of a group that can move people to the streets on a hurry. I since the stench of ANSWER wafting through the air back there.

The leechers have no shame.

They should be asked, “What have you done that you have earned the right to take part of my family’s income and then turn around and attack me for this shakedown?”

My quotes from Don Lemon after he witnessed the violence and disregard for private property the other night, “ This is stupid. Ignorant. This is embarrassing!”

They did like when CNN put on a recording by a lady giving the OTHER side of the story, the truth, and now been confirmed by MRI photo of the shooter’s crushed eye and more. They now want to manipulate CNN to retract the truth which kill their spin narrative which falling apart!!!

Did you ever hear ‘if you give them and inch they will take a mile’? I believe Officer Wilson was justified in defending himself during the arrest when Brown was killed.

If these protesters are allowed to use Officer Brown for their agenda of social justice where there is no issuse for it, it will just be the beginning of the race war, and NO ONE will be able to do their job without chaos again, especially the police. And if they try to have black police to police black areas we will be right back into segregation and the Civl Rights Movement where Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson want to be....

Now I understand the New Black Panthers are involved in this agenda, which is Communist Rebels pushing a destructive agenda using whatever chaos they can create.

Nothing must trump the victim-hood of the American black.

Now maybe CNN will get it right.

There is a point when it will turn on the protesters. Even with a liberal media. Fox just announced that Al Sharpton will speak the Eulogy.

Looks like Occupy is being re-purposed into a Michael Brown protest vehicle.

Look for this in other cities.

Protests like this are organized, not spontaneous.
