Ferguson Protesters Storm Walmart, Shut Down Another
Pundit Press ^ | 10/13/14 | Aurelius

Protesters in Ferguson and surrounding area have stormed local Walmart, forcing them to shut down or bring in police.

In Maplewood, Missouri, west of St. Louis., protesters stormed a Walmart, forcing police to be called:

Protesters were also screaming "shut it down" in front of the same Walmart. For some reason, even though Walmart had literally nothing to do with the shooting death of Michael Brown, protesters see it as a capitalistic embodiment of a racist system of oppression.

...A number of protesters at the Maplewood Walmart were arrested.

At a Ferguson Walmart, the store was forced to shut down early because of protests. Again, though Walmart had nothing to do with the recent shootings, protesters held "end racism" signs and blocked entrances to the store:

They’re used to getting stuff for free there at the taxpayer’s expense. What do they have to be mad about?

I am the one that should be upset. I have to help pay for their stuff. I am also upset that they’ve made our cities unsafe with their violent crime.

Revcom. Anti capitalist communist revolutionaries have been agitating since about day 3.

Occupy Oakland, the hub of the ongoing occupy movement, has people on the ground in Ferguson,and is providing financial and legal support to the continuing protest movement there.

Attacking Wal-Mart is a clear clue/link confirming who’s driving this program.

Is this supposed to be the October Surprise Bob Bechtel promised, to make sure that the Senate stays in Democrat hands?

Do you have to pass an ugly test to qualify to be a protestor?

It’s really pretty basic. They looted all their local stores of all their stuff, so they can’t loot there, anymore. WalMart has stuff. Way more stuff than the stuff they already looted. So they want to loot there. Under cover of “protesting for Michael Brown,” of course.

Well, if it keeps up, you will see a dead zone around Ferguson for many miles around the place. Who in their right mind, even among major chains such as Wal-Mart, will choose to operate retail outlets anywhere near Ferguson after this????

Cut off the bums’ EBT money. These misguided losers have an extreme need to get the what-for.

Walmart gets a lot of its business from ebt cards. These are Walmart’s favorite customers. I guess if you lie down with dogs, you’re gonna’ get fleas.

Doubt that many of those are locals but bussed in paid union rent - a - protestors.

Any store that was targeted like this needs to shut down for a few weeks to let the people realize they need the stores in the area. The stores only care about the color green and only care about being in the black instead of the red.

There are plenty of Democrats who really believe that the guiding principles of the Republican Party are to maintain white male domination over "people of color" and women, and that people will shun the Republican label if they just realize that. So they could see riots in Ferguson as a means of educating the masses.

The question is whether Valerie Jarrett, Barack Obama, and the DNC are thinking in those terms in connection with this election.

Well, if any liberals come out and say that Ferguson protests are due to Republican political positions, it would only reinforce to me that I should not vote Democrat. I fear for this country if any critical number of voters look at all of this, and have it convince them to vote Democrat.

Can't decide if shutting down Walmart is a good thing or not.

Anglo-Saxon jurisprudence is another universe for them. All they understand is tribal justice. White cop kills a black guy, then you go murder the white cop, or someone else who’s white if you can’t find the cop. Walmart is owned by whites, so go shut it down or loot it. Other businesses won’t open up in the neighborhood, so go find some white-owned businesses somewhere else, harass their customers and shut them down. That’s justice. Yeah.

Meanwhile, their fellow tribesmen, Obama and Holder, they’ll open up their stash and make sure there’s enough goodies for da brothers. Economic justice. “That ‘s why we love Obama.” Yeah.

This is all right out of Rules for Radicals.

The action is secondary and doesn’t necessarily need to make any sense or specifically target anyone.

The Re-action is all that matters. These people are playing Ghetto Lottery on the Grand Scale.

Angry and ugly. You’d want these people around, you’d want to give them an opportunity, you’d think they might be of benefit to your company....why?
