It is less than 2 miles from the St. Louis city limits.

which explains why of the 10 arrested and charged today 9 were from St Louis City and 1 from Texas [probably a tourist visiting there for the night life].

For the great majority of the rioters/looters wealth just happens. There is a magical, endless supply of everything they need without them having to lift a finger to make it happen. Why should they think otherwise? Big Gov. has more than happy to bestow goodies on them for fifty years without them having to do anything but exist. We’re talking about people with IQs in the turnip range. And then they wonder why few or no businesses want to locate where they live.

The looters were probably bussed in by the DOJ.

Whiter than the audience at a Guy Lombardo reunion concert, Baby! (But really, being an honorary white person, it's not so bad. We white people don't think worse of you if you ask why somebody is being vicious and stupid. But then again, maybe we should revise an old chestnut: "Reality" - it's a white thing - you wouldn't understand).

Black culture has become a criminal culture, and it isn’t sticking neatly to black communities. It’s just that criminals and gangs have a tendency to stick close to home, or go where it is safe to practice their cultural festivities. As they press the limits, and find out white people are easily intimidated and unprepared for black culture, blacks will expand the sharing of their culture.

“Honestly, they’ve been empowered for the last 30 years. They can do as they please.”

In liberal sh*tholes run by rats, this is true. Now, let’s head to South Carolina where a gang of black savages tried the knockout game in Columbia, the capital of SC.

The thugs were caught and charged under the state’s anti-lynching law. Each thug faced 10 to 30 years in state prison. If the victim had died, the thugs faced the death penalty.

The local black religious revrunts spewed split pea soup that their black congregationists were charged under the anti-Klan ( KKK) laws which have been on the books for decades. To no avail.

The point of this little story is that there is little in the way of riots or polar bear hunting because punishment is certain and swift in SC.

Maybe other states can adopt South Carolina’s anti-lynching law and deal with their savages.

Jack outlined for us what may actually have happened:

There seems to be some disagreement (surprise!) about how or why this happened.

Brown supposedly stopped at the QuickTrip (but may have been another convenience store) that was looted and burned down and stole something. The store employees called 9-1-1 about it. While he was walking home the cop stopped him not for stealing, but walking in the road. The cop told him and his buddy to walk on the sidewalk. Brown mouthed off to the cop and that was the trigger for the cop to stop and give them the once over.

When the cop tried to get out of his car Brown pushed him back in his seat and then jumped him. Brown went for the cop’s gun, one shot being fired, but missed. The cop got his gun back, pushed Brown back (who suddenly raised up his hands in surrender) and shot him once. Then the cop got out of his car and shot him three or four more times. Brown fell down to the ground and the cop shot him a few more times.

Unfortunately, the cop did not have a dash cam or any other recording devices that would help determine the facts. There were several witnesses to this and they all say that the cop murdered Brown.

If I am wrong about what I have just stated in the above be sure to correct me

Jack's not sure, Doughty if this is the whole, or straight story. But it sounds even-handed and plausible, so far. That info is just not readily forthcoming.

Of course she's "acting white." But that's a good thing. White people believe that obeying the law and respecting the person and property of others are good things. They might not always act like it, but you'd be hard pressed to find a white person who thinks that looting and generally acting like a thug is a good thing.

Black people? Not so much.

So, yeah. Be white and proud of it.

If this is the true story, the cop’s deep in the smelly brown stuff. Once Brown tried to surrender the cop’s job was to cuff him and arrest him, not to continue shooting. Shooting after a genuine surrender attempt would make it murder. BTW St. Trayvon of the Skittles (SBUH) was the subject, not victim, of a legal and legitimate killing.

“A huge squad of cops showed up too, but about 5 mins too late to grab anybody.”

That is by design; the cops have families to feed, and have been ordered not to molest black perps.

If this is the true story.......

Facts not thick on the ground there yet. As "witnesses" get coordinated and lawsuits filed, they may never be.
E.G.: Not clear if Michael Brown had a record. Cop's story not out yet. Not clear if the Brown kid (said to be 6'6", 300+) got in the police car. Not clear if he made the old "furtive move toward his waistband," according to the cop. Not clear if the cop suffered any injuries. Not clear if Michael Brown was alone, or acted alone.

Rioters will continue to tear up where they live and won't stop until they realize that it's where they live.

But your dead right about one thing. This officer had better find another line of work in another locale, whether his as yet untold version checks out or not.

It really bothers me that there hasn’t been any coherent explanation by the cops of what happened, even by now, which is several days later. Indeed, the roles almost seem to be reversed vs Martin/Zimmerman. There Zimmerman immediately told a consistent, logical story that was rapidly corroborated by the physical evidence while his persecutors’ stories always disappeared into a cloud of BS as they approached the vital details of the last three minutes before the shooting. Here, so far, the detailed consistent stories seem to support Brown while the cops seem to be having trouble getting theirs together, especially an explanation for the apparent shooting at a distance.

......hasn’t been any coherent explanation by the cops....

This is quite disturbing. However, the local media has utterly failed to get the story, perhaps because conditions on the ground are too violent.

The cops in this PD probably realize that the CoP in the Zimmerman affair, although he acted very properly, and very quickly, was nonetheless ignominiously sacked anyway. With this possible rationale, the local cops are figuring that it will be better for them to wait for the formal investigation before committing themselves.

As the tribal war dances and the arrival of the usual suspects begins, The cops must realize that there is no way out for them, regardless of what happened or didn't happen. The shakeup in command starts now, with an Affirmative Action nincompoop or two already in the wings. Next chief: black, or increasingly nowadays, some politically correct female ex-dispatcher.

apparent shooting at a distance ...

?? No good news coming out of this case.

Disgusting. Of all the people involved in the M/Z case, the most fair and accurate was the CoP and he was the one who got smeared and fired.
