Ferguson grand jury decision: Brown's death should be call to action not violence
Fox News ^ | 25 Nov 2014 | Juan Williams

Posted on 11/25/2014 5:56:33 AM PST by Hoodat

Where is the black leadership now that a grand jury has decided not to indict the police officer that killed Michael Brown?

Where is Al Sharpton? He advertises himself as a spokesman for the best interests of black America. But he is absent.

Where is Jesse Jackson, another popular media personality who says he speaks for black America? He’s missing in action, too.

It breaks my heart to see televised images of violence from Ferguson, Missouri juxtaposed next to President Obama, the first black president. The president represents black power beyond anyone’s imagination just a few years ago.

President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have been meeting with younger civil rights activists who are on the front-line in Missouri. . .

Where are the Black leaders decrying the Thug Culture that Mr. Brown was engaged in when he attacked a shop owner and then attacked a law enforcement officer?

No amount of external guidance will help them if they are unwilling to change from within. The first step would be for black women to kick their current baby daddy out of bed until they get a wedding ring. The next step would be for them to encourage children to excel in school instead of dragging them down.

Lt. Gov. on FoxNews, questions why the National Guard is just now moving in. The Gov. had called a national emergency DAYS previous. Yet, not NG in Ferguson last evening when the GJ decision was made and rioting started.

Lt. Gov. wonders whether the WH and DOJ Holder put pressure on the Gov. to keep the NG out of the area last night.

Lt. Gov. is blaming the riots on the Gov.

Well said, Mr. B.

For good measure, I’d throw in some regular attendance at church.

> Real change comes but it comes from people who work, who stand up, work some more, and work toward a vision of justice that inspires others to work with them.

IOW, one of the race card beneficiaries thinks lynching a white cop is a vision of justice.

It’s a call to quarantine Ferguson. Build an inescapable fence around it and don’t let them out until the survivors prove they can live together and build up the community instead of tear it down.

I seem to recall Orrin Grant Hatch lauding Juan Williams from time to time. Orrin though hasn’t spoken about Ferguson, has he?

Here is a list of things that the residents of Ferguson burn down buildings for.
1. Lumpy oatmeal.
2. Having a rock in their shoe.
3. Cold coffee.
4. The guy at the drive through forgot the fries.
5. The cable goes out.
6. Some guy looks at you funny.
7. That old lady won’t make a left turn even though the nearest other car is a mile away.
8. The milk carton is empty, again.
9. The telephone starts ringing during NCIS.
10. Your Mom calls and wants you to bring candied yams for Thanksgiving and you put the last of the little marshmallows in your hot cocoa last night.

“It is about time the Black Urban Community look inward and start to fix the cultural issues that lead their youth to violence.”

I guess we will never see on Obama’s desk a plate that says, “the BUC stops here.”

The statement that there will be certain criteria to qualify is just the usual Obama bullcrap.

The word “work” has been removed from the subhumans’ dictionaries. It’s been replaced by gimme, gimmmeee, gimmmeee or we will take it by force.

Our Gov is useless. If you call out the NG use them.
At the risk of further stirring up the pot, how about a Shoot Looters on site command? It would only take a few before there is no reward for looting mentality to catch on. The same goes for those burning and shooting.

I think the elitist/civil rights types thought the had the situation under control with their "outreach" and "discussions" and "calls for calm". Liberal poppy cock that sounds great in meetings and university class rooms, but means nothing on the streets.

The elitist were clearly caught off guard.

And the store manager says, “That’s true, but ...” and he lifts the lid on a washing machine, “As you can see, the agitators are all black.”

Heard that one back in the 60s, with MLK as the complainant, and the punchline "there's a black agitator in every one".

In a classic example of pure Orwellian Doublespeak, the Governor issued a statement at 1:30 am that he was sending in more National Guard troops.

The Black Community’s problem is racism. They need to stop being racists.

Here is a test. Are you a racist?

Do you abide by the grand jury decision?

Now, let’s flip the races of Wilson and Brown. Do you still abide by the grand jury decision?

NIXON PIDDLED did exactly what Obama and Holder told him to do WHILE FERGUSON BURNED.

There, fixed it.
