MSNBC Host Falls Apart Over Ferguson Curfew
Truth Revolt ^ | 8/16/14 | Caleb Howe

In a press conference this afternoon with Governor Jay Nixon, State Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson, and other officials, a state of emergency was declared for Ferguson, MO, and a curfew instituted. After the press conference, MSNBC's anchor T.J. Holmes begins with editorializing ...

"Wow. Folks, um, what you just heard, was pretty remarkable. To a community that has been shouting, expressing their anger, their outrage, understandable anger and outrage for the past week about being denied their rights, and about a young man being denied his right to live, they are now being told that their right to just leave their home is being taken away. A curfew in place tonight, starting tonight, in Ferguson, Missouri. You cannot be outside on the street from 12 midnight until 5 am. How exactly their going to enforce that curfew is still a question we didn't get a very good answer to."

... and ends with a bit of sermonizing ...

I watched both “ABC World News Tonight” and the “CBS Evening News” Saturday evening.

They showed a business owner in Ferguson whose convenience store was looted last night.

On ABC, the man said he called the police, and the police told him, “Not my problem.” Not their problem? Business owners pay property taxes, and a slew of state and local taxes which in turn pays the salaries of these supposed police officers. Unbelievable.

On CBS, the same business owner was shown armed, along with some of his friends who were also armed. The business owner said he was mad at the police for not responding, and he, the business owner, said that he was going to protect his property.

read the liberal comments on other websites.

It’s truly amazing how many of them admit to getting their information on this ordeal from MSNBC

then again, most of them still think Trayvon was stalked and killed because he was buying candy by a neo nazi who was ordered to stay in his truck. They also still claim Z and po-po faked the injuries he sustained

Why doesn’t he have a discussion with black liberal congressman Elijah Cummings who is calling for MARTIAL LAW?

Obama promised redistribution.

"If we can't take what we want, how can we redistribute."

“Would love to hear a piece on the economics of looting - prices go up, insurance rates go up, taxes go up...”

Awesome!

CNBC could do it, but if not, Fox News or Fox Business News would be the natural place for such a report.

for the past week about being denied their rights,

Exactly what rights have they been denied?

Seems to me nobody is having their rights denied: robbery, looting and property destruction are not rights...

WHAT rights are they being denied? Did she explain that? (I won’t click to give MSNBC the hit).

The guy on the right is taking a picture of items on the shelf and has a bottle of some sort of drink in his pack.
