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...

So the lib media wants to keep it alive, so they find some black guy at a basketball court willing to feed the fire. I’ll bet that was tough...LOL

In 1911, Booker T. Washington wrote:

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”

From the experiment in Ferguson, it appears that some new policies set for establishing more control in suburbs around the country will be rather expensive. Have fun. Enjoy the slide.

Now that the retailers have had time to replenish their inventory, it’s time to boil over again.

Yep, someone spotted a delivery truck at Beauty Town!

Any retailer stupid enough to continue doing business in that hell-hole probably deserves to be robbed. There's a reason for so-called "white flight," folks, even if many of the people fleeing are not white. Let the Amish start their own businesses there.

If instead of giving out EBT cards we required those on the dole to wait in line for hours for a loaf of bread and a block of cheese and to wait in line for hours at a “free” clinic for medical care, losers would not have the energy to create mischief.
