Enforce the laws.
Lock and load...
Yes, and bring in the military if need be for a week or so.
After a week arrest all those that damage property or take things.
Keep the powder dry and aim well.
Step on my land and you’re a target.
I am sick of this Administration. There are approx, 50K people in Ferguson and a group of malcontents from other areas are holding them hostage?
But with winter weather settling in will we really see more rioting? Is there anything left to burn down or steal in Ferguson?
Michael Savage mentioned just now that President Obama has met with the Ferguson thugs. That Al Sharpton made this claim.
If St. Louis burns Nixon, Obama, Holder and company are the prime arsonists.
Make sure to video tape all crimes as it might take a while to track down the criminals.
They (the MSM) have been pumping out the "brace yourselves... any day now..." stories several times a day, every day, for the past month.
They're really trying to play this up for all they can...hoping beyond all hope to get someone (other than the thug residents) interested.
Well, guess what... most of us just want the facts to emerge. Most of us aren't going to riot no matter what the GJ decides... we just want the facts. So just make the results known and let's move on.
Wow.
It’s really “something else,” when ciivlization in the year of 2014, can’t be counted on to behave CIVILIZED!
LAW & ORDER right out the proverbial window and those type of people demand “equality and justice, under the rule of law”?
Considering the current weather, I think right after dusk is a good time to announce the verdict. :)
Season is beginning now. I wonder what the bag limit is?
Such Pu$$ies. Obama, Holder, Sharpton et al have authorities sniveling in a corner afraid of what the natives might do.
WHO CARES? What are they gonna do? Burn down another QT?
Now is the time to bring in tear gas, MRAP’s, rubber bullets, and kick some Swisher Sweet butts.
That part is interesting. Is that in lieu of the National Guard?
Martian LAW!
This is an interesting story.
Considering the current weather, I think right after dusk is a good time to announce the verdict. :)
I Hope it gets to below zero for a while, nothing like not being able to breathe fully due to bitter cold to take the fighht out of the agitators!
