FERGUSON, Missouri — Time hasn’t healed the anger here. Eight people were arrested during protests outside the police station on South Florissant Avenue on Sunday night, and residents say the tension is still palpable, nearly two months after Michael Brown was killed by police officer Darrell Wilson.

At a basketball court in Forestwood Park, about a mile from where the shooting happened on Aug. 9, Tyrone Parker said he feared the community was about to hit a "another boiling point" as a grand jury weighs possible charges. “I don’t see nobody that has calmed down yet,” he said.

Sunny skies and unseasonably high temperatures warmed the players as they talked about the case during a pickup game on Monday...

What’s the temperature compared to hot lead moving at 3,000 fps?

Its almost sad how badly the alphabet news networks want the Ferguson situation to be central in every one of our lives.

But as far as I can tell, no one outside the MSM and racial grievance industry is paying the least bit of attention.

Illegals flooding the country like Niagara falls on steroids making job prospects for blacks even worse, Muslims running amok setting up the next big terror attack, diseases including ebola infesting the country, and they are ticked off because a punk was shot by a cop. Yes nothing like having priorities.

Not enough people got free stuff after the first boiling point. Now that the retailers have had time to replenish their inventory, it’s time to boil over again.

Given that Ferguson is probably being staged for the media, tell the media to leave.

Holder & Obama want it to boil over. It’s how they get to martial law, and that’s how they get to suspending elections and stay in power.
Power and imposing their will over the rest of us so they can complete the destruction of America.

Obammy gladly added fuel to that fire pronouncing the cop guilty. It think it was at the UN.

I didn’t see it in the article, so could someone tell me please? Was Michael Brown unarmed?

There’s a heck of a lot more important things going on that affect the country than Ferguson, MO.

The people there better grow up and the enemedia better give it up.

Send the ebola patient there and really give them a reason to worry about.

Can we assume Tyrone Parker is a black man in his twenties?

NBC would NEVER let a 25 year old white man speak for the 'white community'. We have elected leaders.

This is insulting on so many levels..

The dems don’t need martial law or the suspension of elections. They seem to be doing pretty good as it is.

“Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends”

They are all Commies, the MSM and the agitators in the street.

They know they can create a show.

All because of the race-baiters (including Obama and Holder) and their enablers the MSM.

Sickening!
