“We’re going to tie it down, going to lock it down,” Anthony Shahid, one of the lead organizers of the rally, told supporters from the stage at a Ferguson park. “I want the highways shut down. I know it’s a holiday, but it won’t be no good holiday.”

I just don’t get the abuse of the term “unarmed” - as if arms (guns) are the only thing that can hurt people. Is Chuck Norris unarmed if he doesn’t have a gun? I think he would laugh at the silliness of that idea. Is an irascible 300 pound man really “unarmed”?

It’s taking a national publication from Pakistan to get the facts out

see my comment #6 which begins
WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE FERGUSON RIOTS ?

All this inflamatory reporting of confrontations between black youths and authority is ruthlessly designed to keeping the black segment of Obama’s political support riled up so that any thought of instituting a richly deserved impeachment proceeding goes nowhere.

Wow. The further one looks, the worse it is.

Who's Afraid of Anthony Shahid?

(NOTE: this article is from February of 2003)

"Both men have led civil-rights protests, but Shahid's a professional agitator, an agitator who makes even his allies reach for water. "

This quote makes my point, and my thinking when I posted the article.

That's partly due to the misuse of the word 'gender' to mean sex.

Every white person/business should move away from Ferguson and let the leftovers drown in their own drool.

And the name Shahid sounds so muslim. Perhaps his purpose is cultural jihad.
