FERGUSON PROTESTS MOVE TO TARGET, WAL-MART STORES

MANCHESTER, Mo. (AP) -- Dozens of people have interrupted holiday shopping at major retail stores around the St. Louis area to speak out about a grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who fatally shot Michael Brown.

The protests began Thanksgiving night and continued early Friday. Protesters spent a few minutes at each store, shouting inside. Officer in at least one store ordered them to leave. There was no immediate word of any arrests.

According to Johnetta Elzie, who had been tweeting and posting videos of the protests, demonstrations occurred at a Wal-Mart and Target in Brentwood, two Wal-Marts in St. Charles and one Wal-Mart in Manchester.

On the other hand, we have a national party, the GOP, sucking the hind teat of government when they want the front teat

In my years here I've often wished publically how I wanted the GOP RINOs to "grow a pair of b@lls" and act like men.

I have come to the final realization that even if they grew them, there would HAVE to be a spine from which to hang them. And, now I am back to the wishing well. :0)

I think America has been set up by Unions, King Obama's communists empire, the MSM, and Hollywood types. I feel all this is leading to such a course that King Obama term will be extended and he will transform America into a dictatorship. The communists tools are riot, destruction, and forced marshal law to open the path. Nice try but King Obama will be crushed in the end.

You know, these protests remind me of the last time I went on a Prairie Dog hunt in Wyoming.

Most of us had .223's (Hornady's Varmint Express is the best) and we just plinked away, most of the day, from about 500-600 yards killing off the local rancher's vermin.

Maybe someone should organize a Prairie Dog hunt in downtown Ferguson and do the REAL locals a favor!!

A street thug has reached saint “hood” status. This week, a black campus cop shot an unarmed white 18 year old. Where are the riots?

Get ready for the flashmobs/organized looting in the major cities today.

Get ready for citizens to go "Charles Bronson" on the radicals and anarchists.

One protester tweeted that they targeted the stores because... “Capitalism is one of many systems of oppression,”

They TWEETED this. From their IPHONE.

The same forces behind all of the protests at WTO meetings around the world, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and labor union uprisings are behind Ferguson. The local population there had their say already. Now it’s a bunch of agitators stirring the pot. Make no mistake the worldwide socialist/anarchists have their fingerprints all over this fiasco in Ferguson, MO.

The black community has been convinced that they are entitled to take what they want because white men have consistently over the course of a few hundred years systemically denied them happiness and prosperity.

It's called Black Privilege.

Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner!

You notice this is right after his illegal Executive Order to break the law.

Guess he does not want people talking about it?

From what I'm hearing is that most of the people trying to start the Riots were NOT from Ferguson. They are communist agitators mainly from Chicago.

So why the city of Ferguson burns these communist agitators go back home to their safe neighborhoods in Chicago.

These protesters are really nagging the heck out of everyone.

It's becoming obvious that these are real naggers.

“Hands up….can’t loot. I like it.”

I liked “pants up - don’t loot”.

Yeah something else is going on here, someone or a group are purposely riling gullible people up because this is way over the top, beyond ridiculous. This is a thug who just robbed a store, all the evidence points to him trying to take the cops gun, something that has happened 100s if not 1000s of times before in this countries history, but all of sudden we have these mass protests?

"The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution":

The title of [Hillery] Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause – his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action – whether civil rights or women’s rights – is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power. Battles over rights and other issues, according to Alinsky, should never be seen as more than occasions to advance the real agenda, which is the accumulation of power and resources in radical hands. Power is the all-consuming goal of Alinsky’s politics

This focus on power was illustrated by an anecdote recounted in a New Republic article that appeared during Obama’s presidential campaign: “When Alinsky would ask new students why they wanted to organize, they would invariably respond with selfless bromides about wanting to help others. Alinsky would then scream back at them that there was a one-word answer: ‘You want to organize for power!’ In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote: “From the moment an organizer enters a community, he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing, and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army.” The issue is never the issue. The issue is always building the army. The issue is always the revolution

"You even get the feeling something is a bit off here? That something else is going on that we are not being shown? When have these kind of protests ever happened before? Rodney King was a different story, that was a video of cops beating the hell out of King - although it was edited. This though, Zimmerman, Brown...clear cases of self defense..and then then Occupy Wall street terrorists..These protests, riots, looting all seem a little over the top wouldn't you say. Why? Could it be a certain Kenyan gremlin we know be involved here?"

It is irrationalism and Marxism and postmodernism (nihilism) at work in this country and Europe. Obama is just a part of it, more a front man than a prime mover.

Target and Wal-Mart have no more to do with the Michael Brown case than do KFC or Ben & Jerry's, but for the rabble on the Left they are symbols of corporate, racist AmeriKKKa.

Yep and with all the hype and media coverage, people are going to exercise proper precautions as they exercise their right to move about. Somewhere a mob is eventually going to run up against armed citizens with good aim.

One of the best summaries of the facts behind these, now-international protests, designed only to achieve demoralization, on all sides has been put together by Daniel Greenfield at FrontPageMagazine:

Your comment is further proof that conservatives understand the Left better than the left understands conservatives. The Left believes a lot of myths, stereotypes, falsehoods, and half-truths about conservatives, but conservatives see the Left for what it really is: authoritarian, intolerant, statist, internationalist, willfully and programmatically deceitful, elitist, nihilist, and anti-Christian.

“that was a video of cops beating the hell out of King - although it was edited.”

It sure was edited! I saw it the first time it was broadcast,,,, before editing. King refused to get on the ground and stay there. He kept getting up, and trying to run around the back of the car. He refused to obey the leo’s orders.
