Ferguson, Missouri is a litmus test. If you think Michael Brown, who happens to be black, was a victim of police brutality, you’re probably a racist. If you think the Grand Jury should indict officer Darren Wilson, who happens to be white, you’re most likely a racist and/or a Bolsheviki dupe.
We all know the salient facts of the Ferguson shooting incident. Michael Brown, entered a convenience store, after taking a few hits from his favorite blend of herb, and perpetrated a strong arm robbery. The 6’4”and nearly 300 pound Brown shoved and menaced a diminutive store owner to complete his crime and effect his escape with his stolen goods. A short time later, Brown encountered officer Wilson. Brown attacked officer Wilson, fracturing his orbital socket and causing other injuries. During this battery, Brown attempted to take officer Wilson’s firearm. Just before officer Wilson was beaten to the point of unconsciousness, he fired at Brown, fatally wounding him. Additionally, autopsy reports do not support the claim that Brown was in a position of surrender, with his arms raised, when he was shot. We also know, through Grand Jury leaks, that there are several black witnesses who support officer Wilson’s version of the incident.
Ferguson, then, isn’t about objective facts but about black bigotry and racism.
Anyone familiar with the rudiments of the law governing the use of force knows that it is irrelevant whether a perpetrator is armed with a weapon. The standard is the same for police officers and civilians alike. The test is simply, was the victim in imminent jeopardy of serious bodily harm or death? If the answer to this question is yes then the self defense exception to statutory murder is satisfied. Serious bodily harm or death can be accomplished through the use of a weapon or by dint of disparities in size or strength. Attempting to seize a firearm from a police officer while in the performance of his or her lawful duty is a priori deadly force.
Or put another way, Michael Brown attacked officer Darren Wilson, attempted to seize his firearm and was shot—he got what he had coming to him.
So, what’s all the fuss about? The world-wide left has manipulated the animosities in race relations since the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. The natural feelings of civil unrest, initiated by the Democrat policies of Jim Crow, found focus and leadership in the 60’s through civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The legitimate struggle for black participation in civil rights, including due process, was at some points manipulated by marxist elements. The destabilization of American society and its exploitation as an opportunity to radicalize vulnerable minorities was and is a chief objective of progressivist revolutionary elements. The modern democrat party is a cesspool of progressive, marxist, and socialist opportunists.
The American left seizes on any opportunity to pit race groups in opposition to create notions of class and to agitate for their conflict. This is the great marxist dialectic in operation. Conflict militates for change in the status quo and demands radical political resolution. Once demand for change is fomented, the marxists stand ready to offer their illusory solutions of hope in the form of a utopian, compassionate collectivism. Race is a ready made catalyst for leftist elements and Ferguson is the perfect Petri dish in which to grow the virus of class and racial discontent. The only chemistry needed is an incident involving disparate racial elements. Context is irrelevant. Facts are irrelevant. Black America has been the subject of a racial dialectic in which truth is always subjective and relative to the dictates of the politics of manufactured racism.
Though long dead as a pervasive and institutional phenomenon, racism is an electrifying charge that easily invigorates a counterculture of antisocial malcontents, loitering in self-imposed exile, calling participation in American free enterprise, education, and politics a betrayal of black identity and subjection to Uncle Tom. The black elite have rebranded participation and success as cultural failure and betrayal. A permanent underclass has been created on whom grubbing, black elitists feed their avarice. Greed and covetousness are made virtues while participation in the promise of a self-reliant free enterprise is demonized. Conversely, a slavish dependance on and obedience to party and big government are celebrated as culturally authentic. Black America labors on the Democrat plantation—the Dixiecrats are alive and well.
Far from an organic uprising, the demonstrating, rioting, and racist rhetoric in and about Ferguson are all manufactured and organized by a privileged and monied league of black agitators. Beginning with the lead revolutionary, Barack Obama, the politburo of racism militates against the fundamental principles of the civil rights movement.
When apparatchiks like Eric Holder, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and their obsequious underlings boldly deny the right of officer Wilson to due process they undermine any notion of due process rights for all Americans. In fact, they affirm the lawlessness that inspired reconstruction lynchings and the democrat formation of the Ku Klux Klan.
If we are not all equal before the law, maintaining the fundamental notion of innocence until guilt is proven, then we have in an instant devolved to the wretched state of subjects, vulnerable to the whims of a petulant oligarchy. The Bolshevist progressives have stripped officer Wilson of his civil rights and have thrown him to the lynch mob, a sacrifice to a twisted notion of reparation.
While bounties are placed on officer Wilson’s head, the leaders of the racism industry militate for violence in the name of Selma. The irony could not be more grotesque since the peaceful Selma marches were in reaction to the racism and bigotry of southern Dixiecrats.
Ferguson isn’t about justice or due process. Nor is Ferguson about the death of a common thug or the ruination of a law enforcement officer’s career. Ferguson is a bludgeon in the hands of a cynical few who are hell bent on the implementation of their socialist agenda, men twisted by fictionalized injustices and consumed by ideology, greed, and the lust for power. They community organize and rabble rouse, biting the hand that feeds them. They rage against a caricature painted by long dead European elitists.
The mob will take their orders from the bobble-head Sharpton and from the lecherous Jackson, both of whom serve their master in the White House. Whatever the outcome, officer Wilson’s fate is our fate.
The sad thing is you have a lot of good people essentially, as you said, trapped in that city.
Property values have gone to hell and those that want to leave can’t because they cannot afford to get out. So the only solution may be to treat the place as a toxic chemical spill and let the Government buy everyone out at appraised value so they move someplace else.
There are no winners here just a nice city that has turned into a sewer.
He did not need any other weapons
= = = = = = = = = =
For the most part, VERY true.
Of course like ‘they’ say don’t bring a knife to a gun fight, if nothing else the lessons that should have been learned from the Trayvon and MB cases - the one POSITIVE link -
If you screw with someone that is armed, you are liable to find yourself in a tight spot.
Now Trayvon may have had reason to believe the GZ was not armed, especially after GZ probably showed a lot more restraint when it finally occurred to him to ‘shoot the SOB’.
Even Trayvon knows (well..) that in ‘his world’ he would have been shot long before he had inflicted so much damage.
Same with MB... In ‘his world’ he would have been shot long before he had attempted to go for the gun .. AND he knew the Cop was armed....
We will never know exactly what happened and at this point it wouldn’t make a difference if we did. One side or the other is going to be unhappy with the ruling.
The Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and their “Useful Idiot,” Barack Hussein Obama, believe a diverse population can be manipulated and used to fundamentally change/destroy this country, and they just might be right. One look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.
Countries don’t naturally form with diverse populations, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations are forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grows among them and the more violently they break apart, but break apart they will, or genocide will settle the issue once and for all.
The current “celebration” of diversity and multiculturalism in the American population was introduced in the 1960s and 70s as a deliberate divisive revolutionary tool wielded by Marxists like Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Richard Cloward, Francis Piven and other radicals. It became dogma taught by Marxists in our universities, then spread by our leftist controlled news media and leftist controlled Hollywood. The intent was, and is, to split American culture along race and class lines and set off a “proletarian” revolution to destroy capitalism. The Left has now managed to elect a half-Black radical as President and their revolution is proceeding along very predictable lines, with him using every opportunity to stir up more division and discontent. A reading of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA at this link should make clear their goals and methods: http://revcom.us/Constitution/constitution.html
At the beginning of the 21st Century, the American people are about to learn the savage lesson of Communist Revolution the Russian people learned at the beginning of the last century. Millions died in Russia’s Communist “experiment” before they learned Communism just doesn’t work, as the concept of Communism (“You didn’t build that”) is completely alien to basic human nature. Now it’s our turn to learn what Russia after a century of death and misery now knows.
However, the coming American Communist Revolution that Karl Marx and his acolyte Barack Hussein Obama is bringing upon us won’t progress in the comparatively orderly fashion as it did with the Bolsheviks in Russia. The cursed diversity within the U.S. population will quickly turn this Communist Revolution into a no-holds-barred, and to-the-death, Race War. How our country with its Constitution intact could possibly survive such a blood-bath is a near impossibility. It once appeared as if our country might one day become a mixed race people of olive skinned, brown eyed, black haired, Spanish speaking Muslims, but Barack Hussein Obama has started a Communist Revolution that will undoubtedly destroy any possibility of that ever occurring.
White Liberal Democrats in their “Gun Free” zones will probably be among the first casualties of this Communist Revolution turned Race War, as the American experiment in Democracy joins all previous Democracies in the dust-bin of history.
” Whatever the outcome, officer Wilson’s fate is our fate.”
Excellent summation.
Because the protesters won’t stay there. In fact they’re planning to drive up the freeway and protest in an affluent white area.
...they’ve discovered CARS.
Because you never give in to evil. Many good Ferguson merchants and store owners get their livelihood destroyed if you let Democrats riot. I say you bring in the National Guard MP units, guard every store, and if bring in a bunch of CattleCars from Ft. Leonard Wood to round up the rioters.
You shouldn’t blame the parents or the Left.
The poor boy’s grave is probably unmarked at the request of the cemetery’s custodian.
He is probably worried that if the grave was marked the grass would never grow on the grave because there would be so much urine on it.
Bookmark.
If the Guard is brought in, wanna bet they won’t be allowed ammunition?
At least the cops will have ammo and riot gear.
I was being sarcastic but there are no winners here only heartbreak.
Agree. Brown’s mother, with another last name(not unusual), got into a physical fight with the grandmother who was selling Michael Brown shirts /merchandise. In the hood I guess it is “like mother like son.”
Same thing I thought. Is he channeling Sanford? Otherwise it’s excellent.
SYT? Please decode.
I would think they would loot a store that sells belts.
Just blockade all the roads in-and-out of Fergie and let the perpetually discontented, up at noon, to bed at 3:00 AM welfare leeches go at it until they're spent. I feel safe in saying that the productive half of the country is sick of their whining over a good shoot.
Democrats are rioting over the actions of a democrat city.
” Community Organizers......Don’t they know how to Organize for the GOOD of the people they are intimidating?”
Call them what they are, “community agitators “, and you have your answer.
