African-Americans in Ferguson, MO are demanding justice over the shooting of Michael Brown. But, a clear-eyed observer might conclude differently: what they really want is vengeance, a public lynching, hauling out Officer Darren Wilson in chains, watching as he pleads for mercy, then asking the crowd to shout out its judgment and guilty verdict announced, dispatching him as gruesomely as possible while the crowd roars its approval. This is hardly a new idea -- recall the festive public guillotining during the French Reign of Terror or mob chants of “to the Wall” in Castro’s Cuba. And, truth be told, I suspect that many non-protestors might be willing to sacrifice Officer Wilson to end the violence.
But, let’s assume that cooler heads prevail and American style justice -- not vengeance -- does triumph. Would this satisfy the Ferguson demonstrators?
As Yogi Berra once said, making predictions is hard, especially about the future, but let me suggest that dozens of “No justice no Peace” placards aside, the Fergusons rioters do not want American-style justice. Indeed, if American “justice” showed up as per demands, it might precipitate even more rioting and inflammatory rhetoric.
Libraries are filled with treatises on “justice American style” but let me note certain core features and, sad to say, these elements bear scant resemblance to what Ferguson protestors demand.
First, American justice is slow, usually painstakingly slow and this is especially true in high-profile murder cases under close public scrutiny. After all, punishment is not to be decided by ill-informed hot heads. Recall that the O.J. Simpson trial began in June 1994 before ending in October 1995. Between the alleged crime and the verdict, months will pass so as to collect evidence, secure a grand jury indictment, find and interview witnesses, employ lawyers and prepare the defense and prosecution....

No. Lynch mobs want blood.
Who do we want? Darren Wilson! How do we want him? Dead!

This is all about REVENGE, not justice because they feel an “injustice” was committed therefore, (in their logic), justice must be served again, but only by killing Darren Wilson.
Nothing like MOB RULE, eh? and supported by this administration.
Justice is a pair of looted shoes.
>> I suspect that many non-protestors might be willing to sacrifice Officer Wilson to end the violence.
And that many can rot in Hell.
Not for a second. Suppose, however the roles were reversed, and the cop was black and the dead guy was white. Would there be any protesters at all, let alone ones who only wanted justice?
What a mess ! With all the finger pointing away from where it started ...The “Bully Pulpit”
A democrat (in name only) party governor goose steps along with the party’s agenda. Conflict and division designed to perpeptuate racial division to make impeachment an imposibility. Which now demands a hanging of a police officer who defended himself attacked by a huge black thug by calling for, not justice, but “vigorous prosecution”.
That governor over rides local jurisdictions places in command his commander of his state police who decides making peace is done by marching with black terrorists and flashing gang signs.

Which naturally turns in chaos. Neighborhood businesses destroyed, people shot.
And once again black callers to conservative talk shows
Which have black callers in complete denial never told “You can’t handle the truth...
They and their kind will never vote right. Therefore, they should be written off.
The louder they whine, the uglier the spectacle they create, the more other votes will go the right way.
Whatever irritates them should be done more often!
They wouldn’t know justice if it hit them in the ASS.
And race baiting hyenas such as Jesse Jaaaaackson, Al Sharpton (including our fearless leader) and the likes of Black Panthers etc. see to it and make an effort to make it happen and cash in on it. So is it any wonder when Homeland Security is stocking up on ammunition and military style vehicles and equipment. They know and anticipate what may be in the offing, what ill guided socialism has sown and we are now in the process of reaping. Except for most of the ignorant and political dumb public who just goes along with the flow and will have a rude awakening down the road.
To paraphrase Butz,
Looted shoes, good sex, and a warm place to use the bathroom
Sunday, Aug 10 Missouri State Sen. Jamilah Nasheed said she would on Monday, Aug 11 petition the U.S. Justice Department for a formal investigation of the Saturday, Aug 9 shooting. - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/18-year-old-shot-dead-missouri-witnesses-article-1.1898333
Looks like she got her way.
Now Nasheed has launched a petition to remove St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch from the case. - http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/19/us/ferguson-prosecutor-mcculloch/index.html

Yes, it seems to be true.
“This is all about REVENGE”...
Nothing more, nothing less. Odumbo sends Holder “The Hit Man” down to keep pushing that revenge and everything will be just fine.......Not! The bas4ards will continue until this entire country is in total chaos all because their ancestors were slaves and “whitey” owes them payback.
I do NOT see this ending pretty and believe it to be exactly what odumbo wants. Then he can claim his targeted “Marshall Law” and become POTUS (now King) forever.
“what they really want is vengeance, a public lynching, hauling out Officer Darren Wilson in chains, watching as he pleads for mercy, then asking the crowd to shout out its judgment and guilty verdict announced, dispatching him as gruesomely as possible while the crowd roars its approval”
That’s exactly what I want to do to the Ns creating this mess.
