There is a pro-Ferguson rally happening in front of the Police Station. Franklin Graham Ministries, which has parked their van where the protesters had been, watched a peaceful pro-Ferguson rally last night.
It sounds like you’re fighting the good fight there for family, home and community. Never give a inch when you know you’re right.
No way, that’s not Bathhouse Barry’s style. You’d never be able to prove it, but I’m betting that: 1) Michelle got artificially-whatevered to have two girls, and 2) over the course of their entire marriage, Barry has spent a grand total of 5 minutes in the same bed with her (on their wedding night).
What is your guess on the sack time he spent with Reggie Love versus Michelle?
Not only that, but the last word I got (via the media -- not been real spot-on thus far) was that the shots were fired from at least 100 yards in distance. I'd like to know by what quirk of fate some punk caps off several shots and scores two hits, one in the face -- with a handgun??? Especially at 100 yards.
Best Wishes to you and any other sane people. I pointed out on several threads in August that the majority of the citizens in Ferguson were not our rioting and looting etc.
Nor is it helpful for the media to talk about it as just a small Midwest town in Missouri, like it was some isolated rural town. It’s part of the large metro area of millions of people, and section 8 types from the other areas can flood in there and add to the mess.
There were a lot of targets in the larger area to guard, but there were also a bunch of the guards sitting in a large facility watching TV as the city was burning that could have been there within 15 minutes or so. Gov. never sent them out.
I appreciate your posts, and appreciate your standing up for you city. I attended UMSL, worked in St. Louis City, and in Clayton for a bout 20 years, so I have a little bit of understanding about how the area is organized politically.
Keep us posted about the inside stories you know. Thanks.
By my calculations, the persons participating in violence and stomping up and down are 5% or less of the population.
95% of the citizens don’t act that way, and don’t support destruction and violence. I refuse to paint the whole city with a brush that is only accurate for a small number of section 8 thugs.
More power to you.
And welcome to FR.
You know the former Mayor (a Dem IIRC) has been critical of Knowles, and would no doubt like to get back in office.
Ping to post 8.
What a wonderful bit of news about how God is moving.
Welcome to FR and thanks for the report.
People like you are what we need to take this country back, or have any chance at all of ever again seeing it what it once was.
Keep us posted on what is going on, especially spiritually. That side will NEVER be covered by the MSM.
That is precisely why the Internet must be controlled so we can be as well.
BUMP
pics? tweets? anything?
I’ll second those “best wishes” too. The MSM, and often many other sources, vastly prefer a juicy story, or one they can twist to their agenda(s), to accurate reporting with any kind of reasonable perspective kept in mind. In this case, part of the “reasonable perspective” is that 99% of the metro population was and has NOT been involved in the protests, and especially not in any violence.
That said, one thing about the DOG report, concerning the justice system in Ferguson, does bother me: The part about those persons with an “in” being able to have tickets and fines “disappeared”. I do not see that as a black / white issue, I see it as a corruption issue. Ferg, what’s your take on that? Or does anyone else have a comment on this issue? As a citizen, I would want heads to roll...
If that's true then 95% of your citizens have failed to address the "small number of section 8 thugs" ...the 5% causing 'your problems'......so your solution was to spit in the face of the legal system 24/7 and fire your police force???....How's that working for you??????
BTW...if my community of 95 people had 5 rapid dogs in the neighborhood.....we’d be helping the dog catcher take them out....or deal with it ourselves if they didn’t.
So your argument has no basis.
I give no room for this happening.......or anything which occurs from their stupidity. ...and it was just that from the beginning. I don't care what issues they had with the police.....obviously if they could get an audience at the Untied Nations it wouldn't of had to be hard to have their grievances dealt with at the state level if they weren't satisfied.
So no...the report, the happenings, and all which came about from the get go lay squarely on the Ferguson communities shoulders....and primarily on that of the black community for not addressing their own inner community violence.
How about nothing...I get no photos on line nor social media...no news...nothing on Franklin Graham....zip zero....
since Graham is behind this supposedly you would have someone uploading somewhere for his organization at the very least....not to mention most of the Ferguson crowds enjoy being uploaded.
