Unbelievable...all they had to do was indict the shooter and let it all set for a year (with him out on $3 bail with pay)...morons. By then they would have worn out and gone after some other thing.

Morons.

I’m watching a live cell phone video stream and she is reporting a lot of Illinois car tags.

[Eagles6]

Let’s hope it doesn’t spread to other cities.

[goldstategop]

Now... Freepers! From Three Days' Grace, a tune fit for the night:

[Verse 1]
If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down
If you feel so angry, so ripped off, so stepped on
You're not the only one refusing to back down
You're not the only one, so get up

[Chorus]

Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot

[Verse 2]

If you feel so filthy, so dirty, so f*cked up
If you feel so walked on, so painful, so pissed off
You're not the only one refusing to go down
You're not the only one, so get up

[DJlaysitup]

Going for auto parts? Odd.

[P-Marlowe]

Unbelievable...all they had to do was indict the shooter and let it all set for a year (with him out on $3 bail with pay)...morons. By then they would have worn out and gone after some other thing. Morons.

They did the honest thing. There was no reason to indict him. He acted completely within the law in self defense. Further, if they had indicted him, he would not have been paid. When a police officer is indicted, they are placed on unpaid adminstrative leave.

Moron.

Justice demands that I steal my neighbor's Porsche.

For Mike.

Dead Kennedys “Riot”

Rioting-the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it’s all gonna blow right now:.

Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking peoples’ ass

But you get to the place
Where the real slave drivers live
It’s walled off by the riot squad
Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighborhood
Burning to the ground instead

[Chorus]
Riot-the unbeatable high
Riot-shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot-playing into their hands
Tomorrow you’re homeless
Tonight it’s a blast

Get your kicks in quick
They’re callin’ the national guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car

Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy
Quickly-dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don’t get caught

Let’s loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don’t fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun

[Chorus]

The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
Now

The raging mob has lost its nerve
There’s more of us but who goes first
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they’ve won

It’s all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please

[Chorus]

Tomorrow you’re homeless
Tonight it’s a blast

[tumblindice]

“blows the case for gun control”

And Obama, Holder and all the other usual suspects should have stayed out of it. Ferguson is just one more pooch these half-wits have screwed.

Tomorrow, that photo will be my computer wall paper.

Adv. Auto Parts now on fire.

[shoedog]

No way would that work. They wanted Wilson dead. If this did go to trial and he was found not guilty, this would have started all over again.

[DJlaysitup]

Actually, Wilson is actually probaly a typical dog shooting piece of sh!t.

Not being on the crook’s side but these cops are stupid sometimes. I don’t trust them.

[FDNYRHEROES]

Tin soldiers and Governor Nixon coming…We’re finally on our own...

[goldstategop]

From the graveyard of forgotten favorites:

The hills are burnin', fields turn to steel
The big house is haunted with what we don't feel
All the streets are empty, no one ever comes around
So you know they won't make a sound
Burn down this town

My lungs are blackened with smoke and sobs
So just be a man and finish the job
And I'll watch you from this distant place I've found
Oh, you know I won't make a sound
Burn down this town

The clapper jail and the co-op board
The garden club and the bedroom door
Sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
The christmas tree
Just burn it all

The sky is falling with the ash and mud
They gotta make a promise
Yeah, blood to blood
So shut the door and then slowly turn around
And now you know you can't make a sound
Burn down this town

The clapper jail and the co-op board
The garden club and the bedroom door
Sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
The christmas tree
Just burn it all

Burn down this town
Burn down this town

[Cowboy Bob]

I’m sure this will all help to stem the flow of whites from the Democrat party. /sarc

.30 cal, almost quiet as a mouse, lever action, 10 round magazine. You can order it online for overnight delivery too :) Say goodbye to wayward large screen TV's!

[DJlaysitup]

Adv. Auto Parts now on fire. That's a nice fire...almost as good as the $200,000,000 rocket we blew up trying to get to the ISS. ;^)

Trouble Every Day - Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

Well I’m about to get sick
From watchin’ my TV
Been checkin’ out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it’s gonna change, my friend
Is anybody’s guess

So I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ‘em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day

Wednesday I watched the riot . . .
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched ‘em throwin’ rocks and stuff
And chokin’ in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin’ ‘round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin’ down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

And I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ‘em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day

Well, you can cool it,
You can heat it . . .
‘Cause, baby, I don’t need it . . .
Take your TV tube and eat it
‘N all that phony stuff on sports
‘N all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head begin to hurt
From checkin’ out the way
The newsman say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so

And further they assert
That any show they’ll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They will be the first to tell,
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin’ hard and doin’ swell,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can’t be beat

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They’ll send some joker with a brownie
And you’ll see it all complete

So I’m watchin’ and I’m waitin’
Hopin’ for the best
Even think I’ll go to prayin’
Every time I hear ‘em sayin’
That there’s no way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin’ every day

Hey, you know something people?
I’m not black
But there’s a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I’m not white

Well, I seen the fires burnin’
And the local people turnin’
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite ‘em
And they say it served ‘em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it’s the same across the nation
Black and white discrimination
Yellin’ “You can’t understand me!”
‘N all that other jazz they hand me
In the papers and TV and
All that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
Because the color of your skin
Just don’t appeal to him
(No matter if it’s black or white)
Because he’s out for blood tonight

You know we got to sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won’t be many live
To see it really end
‘Cause the fire in the street
Ain’t like the fire in the heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don’t you know that this could start
On any street in any town
In any state if any clown
Decides that now’s the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree
There ain’t no Great Society
As it applies to you and me
Our country isn’t free
And the law refuses to see
If all that you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store
You know that five in every four
Just won’t amount to nothin’ more
Gonna watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor

Blow your harmonica, son!

There’s OIL in them auto parts stores... Oil can start fires...
