A Missouri state senator believes the town of Ferguson is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder following the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown in August.

Speaking to CNN on Thursday, state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal said that there should have been health care professionals dispatched to the streets to help the residents of Ferguson.

“What should have happened since day one is we should have had counselors out in the streets and psychologists because this community is experiencing PTSD right now and frankly, I think some officers are, too,” she explained to CNN....

Well, the IRS is a major perpetrator of PTSD upon the citizens of America. Guess you reap what you sow.

I do believe MS Nadal is related to Representative Hank Johnson.

Some of these people HAVE been betrayed and lied to—by the race baiters and hustlers.....and even THEY know it.

Remember when Jesse Jagmo got booed for trying to get money in the wake of the protests?

The descension of professional organizers and thugs, sent to agitate with the winking nod approval of the Obama-Hitlery-Holder Axis of Fascists, also stirred the pot.

Someday, I truly hope more of the black population awakens to the truth that those people NEVER SOLVE PROBLEMS. All they do is foment hate.

Some are waking up. I've been chatting with Black Conservatives on twitter about the importance of a good secretary of state.

This woman is way beyond PTSD. She is batshit crazy and there is no cure for her except to be defeated in any election she runs in for the rest of her life. That would be an earned PTSD (Putting the Shit Down).

As for the citizens of Ferguson. The rioters are mentally unbalanced, taught and inbred into them for all of their lives. The whites who flocked there to attack the police are leftist ideologues and self-hating liberals. They are too stupid to re-educate.

You may have noticed that the MAJORITY of the blacks in Ferguson DID NOT RIOT, ATTACK THE POLICE, BURN and LOOT, or generally destroy their own city and homes. Let’s give them some recognition for behaving like decent people despite any feelings that had about the shooting.

This is a perfect example of how a few agitators, including Sharpton and Jackson, can whip up a crowd of lowlifes and the undereducated into a violent mass, and the media fell for it.

Also, the role of outside Communist and black agitators has not been examined by the MSM, thought FR had one excellent report with photos and details.

I’ve seen this since the riots of 1968 and nobody has learned how to counter the Left and the racial extremists. I used to speak on this in classes on Police Science and before small discussion groups. I could just update what I said by changing the date to 10/24/14 and leaving the text intact.

If WE don’t change our national mindset, nothing those of us who have been involved studying/explaining riots, propaganda, communist agitation, and media malfeasance will make any difference.

All I can say is if Fort Hood was “workplace violence”, and our leaders believe that BS, then America and 51% of our population are beyond salvation, and America goes down in flames.

Nothing looting a few 60” plasma TVs from Walmart couldn’t cure, I’m sure.

Maria Chappelle-Nadal

Kudos to the lovely (and charming) state Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who was going to stab - or was it be stabbed by - the equally lovely (and talented) state Senator Jamilah Nasheed. Perpetual theft & shakedown disorder needs to be addressed, and it is about time someone had the courage to say so.

This has been the longest running civil disturbance in the history of the United States.

It has not yet reached the lofty “most violent” but there is still plenty of time to go.
