10:30 p.m. Central Time: Fires continue, and while many protestors are still out in Ferguson, Missouri, reporters say the crowds had dwindled a bit. Some protestors are shouting profanity at police and members of the media. One building is engulfed in flames and is destroyed. CNN reports the building is a Little Caesars pizza restaurant.

Let’s get Border Patrol to quell this riot, they aren’t doing anything right now by Presidential edict.

Did Shepard have a Hands up Don’t Shoot tshirt on?

[bert]

How many dead?

dead protesters can’t loot and burn buildings

The Hispanics are going to take the rest of them out at some point. I lived in a black neighborhood years ago. I was trying to finish school and it was all I could afford. I must say the "natives" left me alone. They knew I was not likely to cause the the drug slingers any problems. Now this was over 20 years ago.

Black cops would not come into any apartment building. If you needed them, you had to go down to the street and meet them. Old timers that had worked all their lives and bought there own homes, were afraid to sit on their front porches. These were black seniors btw. Many of them trying to raise their grandchildren who were running the streets because their parents were either, dead, on drugs or in prison.

You would think that blacks would get tired of this crap and put an end to it. They are the only ones that can stop this crap.

LOL, I don’t think so. But then again I was getting ready for work and just listening to him vamp on.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Is there a confirmed Officer Wilson fund?

[central_va]

We need the Border Patrol up there to put down this riot since they no longer have anything to do by way of EO.......

You are 100% correct BUT that is so very polically in-correct to speak the truth today . . . LOL !

Take a Peek at These Images from Ferguson . . .

LOL !

Looks like ing 0 got what he really wanted . . . a full freaking scale race riot

[GOPsterinMA]

I never understood (or understand) the “philosophy” of sh**ting in your own bed.

OTOH, different lifeforms evolve (or don’t) at certain rates...

“This isn’t justice. It’s racial extortion.”

Of course, but the extortion happened long ago when major companies were in effect forced to locate in very marginal and unprofitable areas. Does anyone really think that after inventory shrinkage, hiring of unqualified staff, and fraud that any of these big box businesses were making any money?

They just got a “get out of jail free” card.

[RKBA Democrat]

Wow. That’s a first: someone posting Dead Kennedy’s lyrics on FR.

Holiday in Cambodia would be appropo as well.

[jmacusa]

Now they’ve been burnt out and they won’t come back. I doubt their insurance will cover all their losses, I’m not an expert on that but for sure Homey has shot himself and his ‘’community’’ on this- again.

[jmacusa]

I hear you and know the scenario well. The “Black Community’’ isn’t going to learn a damn thing from this. A kid is dead. A police officer has very nearly avoided having his life ruined and will have to live with this for the rest of his life, business and people have lost their means of making a living, supporting themselves and being a major tax-base to the city of Ferguson all because dumb-ass Homey is quick to anger and slow to reason.If ever.

[jmacusa]

Yeah, but somewhere a Homey just got himself a free 52 inch Plasma TV.

[RKBA Democrat]

Insurance will cover most of it. At least for the large companies. And the good news is that they can quit hemmoraghing cash on an unprofitable location. And the local “community” such as it is can live with the burned out rubble.

[jmacusa]

This is so very true and bravo to you for speaking the truth. As you're no doubt aware for the race pimps what you said would be seen as ‘’racist’’ but as Orwell once observed “In a time of universal deceit to speak the truth is a revolutionary act’’. God help me for saying this and I'm not trying to be melo-dramatic here and let me say my ancestors fought for The Army of The Potomac to end slavery and I'm proud that they did. That said, I don't remember who said this but some Southerner said prior to The Civil War “Slavery is the naturally intended condition for the black African''. God help us if that were true. Hasn't fifty years of liberal rot enslaved blacks in a different way? They seem to have gone from the cotton plantation to the ''Welfare Plantation''.

[jmacusa]

Btw, interesting screen name. Is that from a “Sherlock Holmes’’ story?

[nanetteclaret]

Don’t forget that the only reason white slave traders had any slaves to trade at all is because warring tribes in Africa sold their conquests to the traders. Blacks enslaving blacks, blacks killing blacks, there is a long, long history.

[jmacusa]

Yes indeed they do. And Muslims were the slaver brokers.
