FERGUSON, Missouri — It took seven University of Pennsylvania students piled into a rental van nearly 16 hours to drive to St. Louis. They had raised $600 in three days from a Go Fund Me account that was supposed to last them through the weekend. They slept wherever they could crash for free — the basement of a St. Louis couple’s home, or packed on the floor of a church at night.
But once in Ferguson, it was nothing like the war zone they had seen splashed on their television screens exactly two months earlier.
Instead of armored vehicles blocking suburban intersections and stoking chaos in the streets, police squad cars were escorting peaceful marches that were careful organized and tailored during the day. Instead of training assault rifles on the faces of protesters, officers were standing idly by, at times even joking around with anyone within earshot.
“I guess we are feeding off of what we saw in August,” 22-year-old Laura Krasovitzky said one night in Ferguson, looking around disappointedly as the crowds outside the police department began to disperse at an early hour.
“We all came because we saw the footage on TV of what happened,” she added. “I think people were shocked because this was happening in the U.S.”
Without the heavily militarized law enforcement response to what started as local outrage over the killing of a young black teen by a white police officer, young people like Krasovitzky may never have joined in demonstrations held months later. But as calls for the officer’s arrest grow more desperate, the movement takes on a greater meaning for supporters hundreds of miles away who seek an end to police violence....

White leftists make me even more sick than the militant blacks.
It would be nice if there were some counter-protests such as a fundraiser to raise money for the guy whose store was robbed.

What they get, will probably not be what they want.
Go to Cuber and Venezuela. The revolution is already complete there and utopia has been achieved.
The Duke’s statement no longer true today with govment doing everything for the “stupid” so to speak
The children are our future.
upper class white kids from an Ivy League school that don’t have the sense God gave a june bug, proving aid and comfort to professional race baiters and subversives who are ultimately out for nothing more than their own enrichment.
They should stick around, there is a sequel coming out. All the violence and mayhem they can stand.
Of course, these are probably goofy misguided white kids that will become victims of the very ferals they purport to be there to assist.
They should ask Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn about social injustice. . but then again, I doubt they've read any Solzhenitsyn.
Has Furgeson worried he’ll walk free? Yes, nothing like people who weren’t even there trying and convicting a guy. It’s Zimmerman all over again. Try and convict before any trial, any court date before any evidence is presented. What would that most closely resemble? Oh that’s right, racism against the cop because he’s white. It would be interesting to see their reaction if he were black.
Rebels without a clue.
What exactly did they "see"?? At least be honest- they are reacting to what they were spoon fed by the left wing media.
WE pray for the revolution they want. PLEASSSSSSSSe
