I suppose Governor Nixon wanted the Ferguson rioters to do what they did. Why else would he facilitate their actions?

Has anyone seen Gov. Nixon's balls?

Hey has anyone seen Jay Nixon's balls? Let me know. They're about this big. They're like really, really tiny little Obama balls, if Obama had balls.

The National Guard had been called out back in August when the first, far more serious round of post-Brown shooting riots and looting had occurred. They remained in the background, guarding the command post and court house and other government buildings. The rioting last night, while serious, were not as widespread as the August riots were so why did they suddenly need the Guard last night?

Actually this is a current conspiracy theory at DU.

That someone deliberately withheld support for the Ferguson PD in order to create the conditions for a riot, and a big show.

Unusually this suspicion is not only shared in FR, it is plausible.

In addition, they agree that much of this was caused by “outside agitators”. This is backed up by the arrest records.

The left and right are coming together !

The DU thinking, such as it is, of course includes secret police provocateurs as the outsiders, starting fires, etc., which is loony.

And there is the question of who benefits. They think its some Wall Street conspiracy to discredit the left.

Anyone can call up the National Guard.

How are you going to deploy them and use them? What are the ROEs?

That's the key. The NG would only have done any good if their rifles were loaded, and they had a commander willing to take the heat for killing a large pile of rioters.

Not going to happen.

Especially not for the benefit of the Republican mayor of Ferguson.

If you saw that absurd presser Obummer gave you know why the Guard wasn’t called in. He said the problem was not the “protesters” but the police and basically said stand down while the “protesters” do what they want. And they did.

Kinder argued the delay in sending additional troops showed Nixon’s administration had probably been pressured by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. He also lamented that the governor’s office had shut him out of the decision-making in responding to the Ferguson protests.

Another stand down order from Obama, this one being an arm-twisting stand down order to the governor.

General Russel L. Honoré, on CNN, admitted that the Governor(Nixon,DEM.) “could have sent the 82nd Airborne” and it still would have happened!
Although I would have to disagree with that BS, about 82nd.
