What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson?

Posted on 11/26/2014 10:28:50 AM PST by Jim Robinson

What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson? Rocks, bottles, bricks, Molotov cocktails thrown. Stores looted and burned. Private property destroyed. Cars burned. Churches burned. Smoke, tear gas. Gunfire, including from automatic (assault) rifles. Looked and sounded like a war zone.

Dang. Almost as bad as those tea party rallies the DHS has been warning us about.

I think it may very well wind up getting us President Cruz. The “Silent Majority” have had enough.

No, HRC Is The One that the American people demand to "fix" everything. Yes, they are that stupid.

Which is why Job One for the GOP is to tie Hillary to Obama as much as possible.

That is one of the most inspired lessons that I have heard in awhile. Hope you don’t mind Chickensoup that I copied this for my profile page. Inspired. That is the kind of response that we need to bend the perspective back the other direction and change the paradigm in this country. Hats off to you!

I am with Giuliani, this crap should have been nipped in the bud. First rock thrown, first road blocked, first window smashed, it’s an unlawful assembly - arrest them - and shut it down.

I expect a little less talk and a lot more action. The Governor has been an EPIC FAIL in this situation.

Giuliani made another interesting point. He got a little frustrated and said words to this effect: Look, these are professional racist arsonists and you, I, and the media know who they are.

Well, LSM and Fox News haven’t been reporting on any “groups”, but the local media did report something last week. They reported that Communists, New Black Panthers, and Occupy types were in the area and handing out flyers/agitating in the area.

Two Black Panthers were arrested, and they had Molotov cocktails, and I don’t know yet what the charges will be. This is very reminiscent of the 60s. And who were the groups then?

Communists, Black Panthers, Weather Underground (Bill Ayer’s group of bombers). Back then the commies wanted a race war, and they hooked up with the Black Panthers and “peace nicks”. Is this the same old ideology and goal?

With the spread to other cities, I believe that this is organized and coordinated. I have no doubt that there are ties back to the White House and all the other radical left commie/Marxist sympathizers.

I’ll just point out that the majority of the people in Ferguson, were not out doing this stuff. Nor were the other black neighborhoods out burning and looting. Make no mistake these are criminal thugs/arsonists and useful idiot grinning looters.

When people who have been respected, do things that are really criminally stupid, most people observing the situation remain very quiet, then act appropriately.

In the case of Ferguson, those who have been protesting and attacking the rule of law, have been given patient tolerance by the majority of America.

They have now firmly entrenched the resolute notion that most of the liberal and Obama tolerant left are now completely criminal and never to be respected.

Even better, those who lack wherewithal or any love for their fellow man, expose themselves as they continue to bolster the cause of those who think excessive force was used or that the police are prejudiced.

The enemy is exposing themselves for who they are and foolishly believe they are winning.

I sort of pity their incompetence,..but not really. They are incredibly arrogant.

Now let’s not get carried away and pass on inaccurate information. The State Legislature is Republican controlled - both house and the senate.

The Governor’s days are numbered - term limits, but even without those, I think his mishandling of this situation would have resulted in resounding defeat.

St. Louis and Kansas City are majority Democrats, but the rural areas tend to be Republican, and the Democrats in those areas tend to be social and fiscal conservatives, supporting gun rights and pro life. They would be “Reagan Democrats” if we had a Reagan today.

What's remarkable is the left’s almost magical ability to pick the wrong fight. We know racism exists, but when the left choose an example to hold up and riot over they come up with people like George Zimmerman and Darren Wilson. A public examination turned up no racism.

I believe they intentionally select cases to exploit where they KNOW the white person is innocent and will be exonerated. This produces maximum outrage among the people they are trying to influence. It also prolongs the outrage through subsequent appeals, civil suits and federal charges.

I believe Ferguson was exploited to drive blacks to the polls and save the dems in the last election. In that context, the effort was a failure and anti-climactic.

I suppose we will be seeing a case like Zimmerman/Wilson before every election from now on.

outsiders were for sure egging this stuff on. Communists, New Black Panthers, and occupy movement were all in town. to agitate, train , and prepare for the days of riot. The news last week reported on them. Two were arrested and their Molotov cocktails confiscated.

I suspect that the arsonist in the drive through pillage, loot and set a fire group had a back pack of kerosene arson bombs. was a member of the New Black Panthers group, but it could have been the CPUSA. They were fast, and rolled the car up jumped out looted and left a fire in very short amount of time.

The people that burned Ferguson weren’t from Ferguson.

Some may have been, but that isn’t what this was about.

By helping, we contrast who we are as opposed to who they are.

I live in KC... when I say demoncrat led, all the big cities are demoncrat, and with a democrat Gov, it is my humble opinion and for all practical purposes, demoncrats are in control... You’ll notice that while Peter Kinder, Lt Gov, has voiced great concern over Mo Gov’s handling of Ferguson, he has no real power, IOS...
