Maybe there is more to it than that. Maybe there is some third compound added to the mix that I don't know about. But this is a regular occurrence. Laugh it off if you like. The kid is sick. He gives up the dope and the booze or he dies. I'm not confident he will make the right choice.
White protesters??
Looks like putting a black cop in charge talking compassionate didn't stop Sunday or Monday night's riots, anymore than Obama stopped war around the world, contrary to liberal elites fantasies.
The only whites I saw there at last nights riots , err peaceful protests, shown even on MSNBC were from the media itself like Chris Hayes from MSNBC (weeknights 8pm) and I had to laugh when morning Joe played a clip of ‘peaceful’ (as he calls them) protesters hitting white Chris Hayes with rocks last night (ouch LOL) .
Rev Al was not on camera last night 'No justice NO PEACE'
“...Rev Al was not on camera last night ‘No justice NO PEACE’...”
What exactly IS he (all joking aside?)
He’s not an elected official... he’s not in any official capacity, what possible relevance does he have to anything going on in Ferguson?
Is he even a real ordained minister?
Last night it was 400+ cops vs. 150 demonstrators.
The MSM did their part to make it look like WW3.
He gets to double dip, as Megyn Kelly pointed out last night he plays journalist on MSNBC (very badly) while in Ferguson he stirs up the rioting and looting,
...as MSNBC journalist he concludes that the only way to stop the violence is to arrest the police officer, and that making the video public of the deceased criminal robbing that store caused the rioters and looters to go back on the offensive. (much like the Benghazi video)
Still funny to see them pelt Chris Hayes with rocks, whitey!
RE journalist:
I get that part... but what was his claim to fame? He’s not a mayor, or a representative or senator at the state or fed level, so what is his business there?
In the the Jim Crow South, blacks were not able to elect their own leaders because so many were denied the vote. That's why MLK was a black 'leader'... rather than an elected official. Back then it was the only way for Southern blacks to have a voice. After '64 when blacks established the right to register AND to have their vote counted - the need for the unelected 'leader' ended.
The problem was folks like MSNBC's Sharpton took advantage - and 'self appointed' themselves as leaders. Jesse enjoyed the power of not being elected except by himself - and cashed in also.
It worked because others got on board - the press and white liberal elites were looking for 'edgy blacks' who would carry their message of white self hatred (sham - but it got them elected) and rage. They bypassed elected black officials and went directly to the unelected hucksters for quotes and power.
In the meantime blacks tended to vote in responsible black representatives who were no where near as colorful and quotable as the self appointed poverty pimps. Hucksters like Sharpton exist in today's world because the press counts on them to fan the flames of racial hatred and better ratings. And higher circulation...
His presence in that area is not helpful, at all. He will get people killed, then go on his merry way.
You’re right on that - that’s his pattern.
The whole mess is starting to feel sad...
Obama's fault.
