What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson? Rocks, bottles, bricks, Molotov cocktails thrown. Stores looted and burned. Private property destroyed. Cars burned. Churches burned. Smoke, tear gas. Gunfire, including from automatic (assault) rifles. Looked and sounded like a war zone.
Dang. Almost as bad as those tea party rallies the DHS has been warning us about.
I’d never heard of him until Weird Al parodied one of his songs. Nice to know how he really feels.. No need to buy anything of his.
Could care less. Black families in America are just horrible. That’s the real trajedy. Not some dead thug.
Well,it wasn’t the *last* thing he did.The two last things he did were to try to take the cop’s firearm from him...and then,having failed that,he charged the cop.
I think the looters would have looted, burned and rioted even if Wilson was charged with First Degree murder. What bothers me is there was nothing done to prevent the mayhem. Suppose this was done by ANY other entity other than blacks.
Regrettably, Jim, as expected.
That split screen of President Obama talking while Ferguson burned was the perfect image of the Obama presidency. On one side of the screen, Obama was asking for calm and praising his Attorney General Eric Holder for the work he did to promote peace and calm. On the other side, Ferguson was under attack- being looted and burned. That’s “the money shot”- the iconic image of the Obama presidency. It was almost as if Obama was saying to Ferguson, “IF YOU LIKE YOUR CITY, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CITY.” Obama's Ferguson speech turned out to be as truthful as the Obamacare speech…with the same result: crisis and disaster.
Fall debris & mayhem bring spring showers and new growth, mostly weeds, where businesses used to stand.
It takes a rabble rouser to really ‘organize’ a community against itself.
While on the phone, did you determine if she is a conservative or a lib?
Wondering how they would do this to their own black neighbors who worked and sacrificed to make a better life and get ahead?
And then it hit me.
The ghetto trash who did this don’t want their fellow blacks to get ahead and do better and own businesses that offer a better way of life. If it can be proven that blacks are just as capable of whites at building enterprise and living better without welfare and handouts then their own hand-out payday is over.
Al Sharpton doesn’t want blacks to pull themselves up their own bootstraps and make a better life for themselves, either. The more independant blacks there are the less cash in his pocket and less influence on people’s souls. Ditto Jesse, Barry, Sheila, and the rest of the black caucus.
So take that, Natalie Dubose of Natalie’s Cakes - who you think you are gettin all fancy? You got to be down wif da shtruggle, girl! Get your black ass back to the hood and take the welfare!
Am I wrong?
Isn’t that the truth. Great one. Simple but right in the bulls-eye.
Just heard a brief interview with a leader of the group that shut down the freeway thru Atlanta. Interesting comment: “we want too show these young people how few it takes to shut things down.”
That’s a very good idea there.
Tea Party people should flow into these areas and help clean up.
Let the media spin that.
The parallels with Ferguson and Benghazi are very telling. One could easily argue that Ferguson was a terrorist attack commanded by Al Sharpton and other professional rabble rousers.
Race pimp orchestrated, media instigated.
We need an organized entity with a national reach to buy into this. That is where I am currently stuck. Anyone got further thought/ideas? We have to do something. Our media has become a bigger sell-out than the far left.
I think it’s a crime that our king in DC has helped promote this violence, along with a few others. They should all face charges along with the Governor of Missouri. Paid protesters sent into cities to incite violence. Punishable crime!
Jim,
The one takeaway that I had(among other well stated opinions here) was how the rioters not only destroyed their own towns and the very church Michael Brown attended, but they turned on the beloved news reporters that usually pander to these folks. I had a good chuckle over that!
Remember how defiant Saddam was after being pulled out of the spider hole...
