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.

Only people who paid a price were the small business owners, cops, and firefighters who had to work overtime.

There are no real words to describe burning you own community to the ground. Some people do not deserve to live in a community with goods and services.

It’s part of the Fabian Socialist (”Progressive”) class warfare which serves as an important goal in the agenda of the Socialist State.

Just an average run of the mill spontaneous demonstration. Kind of like the one in Bengazi.

(314) 398-3951 Natalie’s Cakes & More. I called this woman, she is struggling to keep her business open, in Ferguson, MO. Living in California, I won’t be able to pick up the pie I just ordered, but placed one, and directed it be sent to someone in the vicinity. I strongly encourage you to do the same, she takes VISA/MC over the phone, as she struggles to keep her business afloat. She was actually ordering a new plate glass window, when I called. In the spirit of the holiday, I give thanks to all.

Personally, I believe they were caused by global warming.

I particularly enjoyed watching Chris Hayes on Monday night. He has spent months setting up the narrative that the protests this time would be “different” and “peaceful”. That the protesters in Ferguson weren’t a bunch of looting thugs out to have a good time, but rather grieving citizens who were in pain and looking for justice.

So, on Monday, when things started to burn (literally), he was literally at a loss for words. He was stuttering, and trying to explain it. He actually said at one point that it “only takes one person to set a fire”. Uh huh. He didn’t say a word about the fact that it takes a few dozen to properly loot a store.

We knew this was going to happen. Everyone with a half an ounce of common sense knew it was going to happen. Liberals are supposedly shocked, and desperately trying to find someone to blame. Other than, of course, the people who were actually DOING the looting and burning.

Disgusting. Having said that I think the bulk of it was done by:

Anarchists from out of town
Local looters

I just think the community is going about trying to get change in the wrong way. If they’re trying to improve their relationship with law enforcement, how is it conceivable that spewing hatred at the police and expecting them to endure it silently will help? Law enforcement employees are human too. They are undoubtedly going to be affected by this and its only going to make the divide even wider.

Stay armed. Let the thugs destroy their own sections of town. Should they come to your house, shoot to kill.

Just another Al Sharpton Production. More tiresome now than Lucy re-runs.

All the trappings are there ... but the heart of legitimacy is missing.

Many of us were there in '67, '68 and etc.

The US involvement in Viet Nam was globally acknowledged

Ferguson is the name of my Dr

Taxpayers will pay a price. Just a crazy guess, but I bet they will spare no taxpayer expense rebuilding this neighorHOOD.

I watched some of the live-streaming videos of participants at the beginning. They were all basically Occupy types.

As an aside, I like to watch The Walking Dead. To me it is a metaphor for what is going to happen after Obola succeeds in overwhelming the system. The Occupy types are going to be the zombies the only skill any of them have is to collect checks, from either the government or Mommy and Daddy.

To them, Ferguson is a dry-run for what the plan on doing after the overwhelming.

What they don't realize is at that point we will be as free from constraint as they will be. Right now we cannot respond to their depravity. That will change, and it will be a very hard lesson for the few that survive.

Back in the bad old days, when Americans were even more racist than they are now (if you can believe that) looters used to be shot on site regardless of ethnicity.

Why i'd even wager most of those shot were white.

Just something to consider for perspective as we listen to the whining emanating from Ferguson.

Watched a homeboy on Livestream, cruising around town with a handwritten sing taped in front of the camera that said “Stay Storng”.

Pretty much says it all.

It’s ridiculous! The GJ made a decision based on the evidence. This is all to start a race war and take the heat off amnesty for the moment. Wag the dog!

Just wait till we find out that those business owners will be given federal grants or something to rebuild what those “protesters” burned down. Tax payers will be footin’ the bill AGAIN!

It’s Obama’s Reichstag and Kristallnacht moment all rolled into one.

This is a coordinated and strategically planned upheaval and Holder and Obama just threw gasoline on it the other night.

The riots have nothing to do with the death of Michael Brown. The riots have nothing to do with the verdict of the Grand Jury. These ignorant people will use any excuse to riot, loot, murder, protest to continue the false belief that they have been oppressed because of their race. They are being oppressed alright, by the liberal democrats who have used them and kept them on the plantation for one reason: So they can stay in power. When will they learn to break free from this oppression.

I wonder if insurance companies could sue some of the riot inciters.
