The NRA and Tea Party haven't said a word. Can we just conclude that they don't care about black people?
On August 5, a man named John Crawford was playing with a toy rifle in an Ohio Wal-Mart. Someone called 911, and police showed up and shot him in the chest. He died.
On August 9, a man named Michael Brown was walking in the street in Ferguson, Missouri, when a police officer stopped him. According to the friend that was with him, Brown put his hands up to show that he was unarmed. The officer shot him in the back. Brown's body was left in the street for hours before being removed.
Since then, the incident in Ferguson has overshadowed the Ohio Wal-Mart shooting. Protesters have been gathering, and demanding answers from the police, who have become increasingly skittish and violent. Journalists are being told to turn off their cameras, local residents are getting tear gassed.
Nobody knows exactly what happened, but whatever the facts may be, things certainly look bad now. To most Americans, this is the stuff of horror films: A sleepy rural town being terrorised by an advanced military.
All of this then, begs the question: Where is the National Rifle Association (NRA), and where is the Tea Party?

> Tea Partiers have too much sense to get involved in this madness.
Yeah we’re too busy working for a living to pay taxes so those protesting don’t have to.../s
a 6’ 4” , 290 lb, black male and his buddy rob a store and attack the responding officer. during the attack, as they were trying to get his gun, the gun goes off and they run. as the officer recovers and shouts for them to stop, the 6’ 4” 290 lb black male stopped... turned... and charged at the officer. the officer discharged his weapon 6 times in fear for his life.
does this have anything to do with being over taxed or government growing too large?
no.
then why would the TEA party (the Taxed Enough Already party), care about the event?
it doesn’t... not more then anyone else.
what about the NRA? do they care?
sure. they’re thrilled to see the officer be able to defend his own life in the line of duty. but not more so then the countless other law abiding citizens defending themselves every week against the criminal element deliberately loosed on the populace.
The Tea Party folks have their hands full trying to get justice for the crimes of Lois Lerner.
My answer to them: Because we are not F***ing stupid you “Al Gore-Get-Zero” piece of camel dung!!!!
Are gay men welcomed in Qatar?
“California-born, Tokyo-based Dexter Thomas, Jr is a scholar of hip-hop and contemporary culture at Cornell University. He is finishing his book on Japanese hip-hop this year.”
A sleepy rural town being terrorised by an advanced military?
It’s a St. Louis suburb inside the beltway...
bad idea of the decade
possibly bad idea of the century
you do recognize a lot of the Tea party is older folks who bring their own lawn chairs and pick up all the trash in the demonstration area?
Yeah just what a black fascist Molotov-throwing mob needs
sheesh
How about Tea Party Militia to PROTECT STORES AND BUSINESS FROM LOOTERS?
Think that would fly???
They are too busy trying to keep their small businesses alive and maintain margins since they take the lives of their employee's seriously, they are considering downsizing to less than 49 people to comply with Obamacare, and are spending an inordinate amount of time with their HR person and they try to find a new "policy" for the remaining 49 employee's since they lost the old policies and this crap is always changing, not to mention trying to comply with EPA and "other" reg's that may effect their business....
——The Tea Party has a militia?——
Of course they do !
They also have SAM’S, Manpads, RPG’s, probably even a couple of suitcase nukes....
I’m sure this douchbag thinks we are domestic terrorists....
Most Tea Party people have jobs.
Or...you can say that they believe in letting the facts come out instead of causing more problems by interfering for the sake of interfering...
Why haven't the Boy Scouts sent a militia? Do they not care about black gay boys?
Where is the AARP militia? Do they not care about old black folks? I could go on but we all get the point......
What do you have against rats ??? (evil grin)
