Fellow justice-seekers expressed solidarity. Palestinians, accustomed to surviving under military occupation, tweeted advice to Ferguson protesters about how to deal with tear gas, even as Israeli air strikes were demolishing Gaza and killing thousands of Palestinian civilians.


So the author equates Palestinians with American street thugs. I don't have a problem with that.

The unfortunate tragedy is that there’s more blacks than whites committing crimes because they think they’re entitled. They’re told by the Democrats that they’re victims and that they should lash out at evil whitey.

I’m long past caring about what the rest of the world thinks. They believed Obama was the Savior of the Universe, too.

“Brown’s killing was a familiar American tragedy in a country where young black men between the ages of 15 and 19 are 21 times more likely to be shot by police officers than young white men of the same age.

Ironic how the author cites a statistic which ably demonstrates how such black male youths are so much more prone to commit lethal felonies than their other peers.

By now even Wolf Blitzer of CNN has been instructed by MO authorities that Brown’s corpse was left in the street until the crime scene was thoroughly searched and all evidence was recorded and secured. That took four hours. It was not a sign of disrespect, as the fevered race baiters in Ferguson publicized it, but a matter of following the law.

If you don’t want to have your body in the street, don’t attack a Missouri cop there.

...in a country where young black men between the ages of 15 and 19 are 21 times more likely to be shot by police officers than young white men of the same age.

Could it possibly be that young white men of the same age have real fathers at home who teach their sons to be good citizens and obey the laws, stay in school and get a good education, graduate and get either a college degree or a skillful trade, raise a family and don't steal?..................................nah..........................

::::::::

Exactly. Both countries have many useless troublemakers and PAID THUGS to create unrest, damage and chaos. As well as a government that keeps throwing gasoline on the fire....so to speak.

What I’m seeing is most think American blacks are oppressed and murdered daily by the evil white man.
Some of these people need to spend a little time walking through any American ghetto. If they manage to make it out alive, they will change their tune about the ‘poor oppressed black man’.
Then spend time in rural America. Black folks in rural America are just working neighbors.

Given the drivel provided the world by our low IQ MSM, what matters what they say?

Brown was a thug.

And he could be the Obamadork’s sun.

I still think Wilson handled it wrong. He should have called for backup before attempting to arrest Brown. Once he confronted him “feeling like a 5 year old” (eyeroll) it was too late.

You don’t arrest a huge guy by yourself just because you have a gun.

One word: Disappointment. This is some seriously weak rioting. They are just going through the motions.

It’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of rioting.

Bud, the toilets today aren't worthy of the name. They come in designer colors, they're too low, and when you flush 'em they make this little weak almost apologetic sound.

Not a Ferguson. It only comes in white and when you flush it...Bam! Whooosh! That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, "I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot." Oh, if only a Ferguson could speak, the tales it would tell.

According to the FBI website, 27 police officers were feloniously murdered last year, 25 were white, 2 were black. No information was forthcoming about the races of the cop killers.

21 times more likely to be shot? How many times more likely to be caught committing a crime?

If you exist in a criminal thug culture, you are likely to have conflicts with police. Watch the riots and tell me they do not exist in criminal thug culture.

Also, if you confront police instead of cooperate with them, they will feel threatened and you will not be safe.

Brown did not want to be arrested for theft, assault, and drug possession. So he decided to fight.

FURTHERMORE, this is not a collective case. It is an individual case with individual facts. There is no excusing the rioting no matter what.

LAST, yes, the parallel to arab thugs is certainly well made.

Young black men between the ages of 15 and 19 are 21 times more likely to deserve being shot by police officers.

The comparison is a good one. People rioting-destroying their own communities- while screaming ‘LOVE US’, WE AR NOT ANIMALS, WE ARE GOOD- just illustrates the very prejudice they protest! Muslims scream ‘we are peaceful’ while demanding death- ironic!
The reason young black men are considered thugs is that SO MANY of them act like thugs, perpetuating the discrimination! Then their community supports that behavior and demands society stop pre-judging them? Insanity. Stereotypes have their basis in fact somewhere, in this case it’s self-perpetuating. Rioting and destroying things NEVER gets you more love and respect.

At http://www2.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/santacruz/progressive_politics.html Santa Cruz is defined as “The Leftmost City.”

It is not surprising that their paper caters to their audience and cherry-picked comments “from around the world” to try to show that they have world-wide support for their liberalism.

Every family seems to have an uncle of whom they are embarrassed. It stands to reason the paper could find on such person in any country they chose, that agrees with their ideology.

I even agree with the libs that it is time to have a serious discussion about race — but not with their delusional, one-sided blame-game starting point.

This would necessitate empirical data and research and yes, even Charles Murray’s Bell Curve... no matter how uncomfortable this makes one feel.

No problem can ever be solved if you ignore half the research (or in the instant case — the vast majority of the research)no matter how displeasing and uncomfortable the research makes us feel — even if it does force us to admit certain truths.

You see, the truth is not racist — people who hide the truth and/or twist it are.

An honest discussion is long past due.

This is a completely anti-white American piece of racism.
Michael Brown was caught on camera stealing items froom a store, seen on that video shoving around the store owner when confronted about stealing, was asked to get out of the street by the cop, attacked the cop and then tried to grab his weapon and got shot inside the Police car.
He started to walk away when the cop got out of the car to arrest him, then Michael Brown charged the cop thinking he was faster than the cop, but was shot dead.
Anti-white racists who just hate white people for no reason, think this was about police brutality, but ignore that this 18 year old MAN, old enough to be a MARINE or SOLDIER was a thief, committed assault on a store owner and a cop, and then got shot attacking the cop a second time.
Stoopid people also use phrases to incite, like, “His body was in the street 4 hours”. Thats because there was a police investigation going on, collecting evidence, photographing the scene, taking video, collecting spent ammunition from the cop, taking witness statements...It takes more than 5 minutes.
This incident is being used by the standard anti-white race baiting hate mongers who make money of other people’s troubles.
The comments that black men are more likely to get shot by a white cop is totally misleading, for over 80% of all black men killed in the US are killed by other BLACK MEN in crime situations, yet for some reason, when a criminal attacks a cop, tries to steal his gun, and then rushes the cop a second time AFTER being shot and he loses, for some reason it is a white person’s fault?
The anti-white racism in this nation is due to the brainwashing of the American black poopulation by our media and the democrat party, who use black people as photo ops but never do a thing to lift them out of their poverty, but try their best to keep them on welfare or help their women kill their babies through abortion. Our media is quick to exonerate every black person of any action, and will cover up all crimes and bad behaviour of a black man or democrat politicians, white included, just to blame all things on white republicans and people even remotely associated with being Christian.
Ask yourself, why are almost all abortion clinics in the black sections of cities?
GOOGLE the word MAAFA, watch the video, right from the start, the democrat party was all about murdering and controlling black people, it was democrats who wrote Jim Crow laws, voter literacy tests, gerry mandering voting districts, segregated water fountains and bathrooms, sterilization of black men, and allowing black men to suffer from syphilis for decades for medical experiments, democrats did that, and when republicans were trying to speak out, we were called crazy.
One last thing, the NRA was created , as one of its purposes, to train and arm former slaves to defend themselves against the KKK. Republicans did that.

All I see in the article is what the rest of the liberal world thinks about the US. I don't give a SH!T what they think. Though it would not matter, I would like to see what conservatives around the world think just to see if they have a voice. Fat chance, I know.

Furthermore black people made up 47% of murder arrests, 49% of murder victims, and 30% of people killed by the police in 2012. This according to the website The Straight Dope.
