CNN reporting gunshots just fired at the FErguson Police Department.
Numerous Media sources saying Obama was to speak live at 10PM EST, but he is late, as usual.
These are great images, and commentary, caww. I was also impressed by your contributions during the overthrow of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Are you a ‘journalist’?
....”If my business was burned down, I would take the Insurance money and move elsewhere”....
Most will do that....and nobody will bring a new business in there now. Why should they? I sure wouldn’t.
I think our media has become very much ineffective when it comes to what's really going on in the world....and oddly enough other nation leaders and peoples see it as so quite easily.
When you are acquainted with other news sources besides the US you get a much better handle on events.
I enjoyed very much doing the Egypt Revolution....it was exciting because we got on it here on FR quite awhile before the news was reporting so we were able to sift through things more accurately because of that. There were three of us bouncing information and bringing it here in order to tell the true story...and some others who would chime in.
Generally once a story gets moving then the pundits etc begin to put their own twists on it, often grasping for straws to make sense of it as things move along. Also to often they haven't done any homework to understand what is really at the root of things.
Egypt was all about the Muslim Brotherhood and taking them down and out..once again.... but Washington had a pretty strong grip on what the news could say about the Brotherhood since they work with them....World Wide. So the news agencies were often getting it all wrong ..... I was so happy when SISI took over, even though many were opposed to him doing so,...the country NEEDS a firm hand and that's just how it is in many of the Muslim country's.
Bank of America burning in St. Louis City. Shaw and Jefferson.
Thanks for posting all the pictures.
Are they still at it??
Sudan,Africa
That's what you get from a steady diet of no jobs, no fathers, some Jesse and Al, and butt-loads of resentment.
Yep...I;ll Check on St Louis
I am thinking exactly the same.....
The same dichotomy applies in the current protests as it did in Egypt. The self-serving line promoted by Obama is that it is all about race, while the truth is that it is orchestrated, and all about a diversion from Obama's unpopular agendas in healthcare and immigration. That is as far as my own struggle to understand this has taken me.
Obama has already shunted blacks down the interest-group totem pole. In this evening's speech, he referred to them as "people of color", a term that predominately describes Latinos. Obama now plays the Latino race card, in subtitles, after cultivating blacks for his entire career.
The torched Ferguson businesses remind me of the burned Coptic churches, both symbols of callous disregard. Ted Cruz may be our el-Sisi.
So sad ... I like modern cars’ reliability, longevity, and astonishing power/weight ...
But the bumpers ain’t what they used to be ... that fat sow in the tank top is just beggin’ for it.
Fire is now out @ Bank of America. Arrests were made.
instead of positioning the guard and offering up a very strong deterrence, the gov and the rest of the leadership allowed the destruction of the city..
Oh they can get jobs...they just don't want to...and the fact so many of these people have been demonstrating for so long now they likely don't have jobs. Some even boasted they left their jobs. Protesting gives them a sense of purpose in their otherwise boring and dead end world....and another reason gangs are so popular with many, it gives them purpose and "family"......but they eat them up and spit them out when they're done with them. Few survive.
The only ones who think anything of Jackson or Sharpton are the low level Blacks....those who have broken out of the mode and mindset of the culture thinking know fully well the Sharptons and Jacksons make things worse for them.
The resentment is 'a culture issue' for all blacks.....it's a resentment towards other blacks who have made it out of the ghetto lifestyle and off the welfare rolls and drug scenes.
Holder and Obama were in on it as well.
For what political purpose did they permit this destruction, in your view?
