The New York Times published information about the address of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson on Monday in a move that has generated controversy. Tensions are running high in Ferguson, Missouri, as the world awaits a St. Louis County grand jury’s decision on whether to indict the white policeman for the Aug. 9 shooting death of unarmed black teen Michael Brown.
Wilson received death threats after he was identified as the officer who shot Brown, and as community members and activists plan to protest if he is not indicted, the location of his home could potentially endanger him, his new wife, and his property if the protests result in violence, some of his defenders say. Wilson’s home address is a matter of public record, and it has been published in numerous media reports beginning in August.
But printing his street name in the nation’s most influential newspaper on the day the grand jury is expected to hand up a decision on the indictment could reignite interest in -- and awareness of -- the location, and some critics worry that it could result in protesters descending on his home. Slate even went a step further than the Times, publishing an article featuring a photo of the modest, red-brick house on Monday....

They NYT, the report and the owner of that rag could find themselves in a whole lot of trouble or chaos in the coming days should ANYTHING happen to Officer Wilson or his family, possessions, whatever. The “Blue Fraternity” extends a long ways across this country.
Hope somebody can find out and post the addresses of the Times’ entire editorial staff along with the names and if possible photos of them and all of their family members. See how they like it.
From posting #24 Or armed to the teeth.
I have to apologize to dhs12345. I had read posting 23 and then I read posting 24. I blew my stack!. I thought, without investigating, that dhs12345 was advocating not having a weapon. Then I realized dhs12345 was responding to a much earlier message. In fact the same one that envisio was responding to with message #23.
I was all prepared to start saying the dhs12345 must want to have Queen Elizabeth presiding over him because of his comment. I was going to say "Thank God, our forefathers were armed to the teeth AND NOT HESITANT TO USE THEM 1776 - 1781".
So dhs12345 I apologize for thinking bad of you and I most heartedly agree with what you said, i.e., STAND YOUR GROUND.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
The nytimes is contributing to the downfall of this once-great country.
The International Business Times “journalist” is an idiot.
The “address” in the article is on the Marriage License. The photo of the license is the only address in the article they linked.
It is the address of the judge’s office that performed the ceremony.
Yes, but my bird and dogs enjoy peeing and pooping on it every day. Oh yes, I do not subscribe to it but I do buy a copy about once a month to use as the s***t paper in the cage and the doggie box.
YOU!..are a funny man..excellent graphic...perfect.
Well , in my case, they would have to get through a gate, past four dogs, down a half mile driveway, past an ornery bull... then only to be in firing range from well armed inhabitants of the house, and a few armed rednecks silent in the woods.
I am not sure I mind anymore. Tree of Liberty and all...
Wow.. the left really, really, really wants him dead.
Everyone who works at the NY Slimes should have their throats cut.
Of course, I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Sure would be a shame if their addresses get hacked and published virally on the internet.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
And so should everyone on that street
I suppose the officer and his neighbors can look to the paper’s deep pockets, should something go awry and somebody get damaged.
Nope. The NYT does have a copy of the marriage license with a judge's address... but further in the article is Wilson's street. They thought they'd be cute leaving out the number.
Yes, unfortunately.+
Perfect opportunity for an ambush. Turn the lights on and off, show a little movement inside and have SWAT waiting to block the road.
Hopefully the Guard will arm it’s soldiers. I can’t imagine any leader sending troops into a matter of civil unrest without the ability to defend themselves. I guess we will see later tonight if the riots are uncontested.
Okay. Thank you for the correction.
