Has robbing convenience stores become a civil right?

They might be able to do that. I don’t remember any cursive used on blueprints I’ve seen.

“Ali is among a group of protesters living in area motels, preparing to stay in St. Louis long-term by moving into apartments subsidized by the organization.”

-So long as the “subsidies” are actually paid for with private monies from the group, I could care less. One does wonder, though, if taxpayer money (i.e. subsidized housing, grants for the group, etc.) will come into play.

“A group of protesters stormed St. Louis police headquarters on New Year’s Eve, shouting and pushing their way inside, only to be met by a line of aggressive police and pepper spray.”

-Um, maybe I’m kooky here, but I tend to think that when a mob of screaming people try to force their way into a police precinct (or any other building for that matter), using pepper spray is not aggressive behavior, but a sign of marked restraint.

“Their plan for a sit-in inside the lobby was one of the boldest [and stupidest] actions they’ve taken in five months of protesting...”

-There, fixed it.

“The marches, the sit-ins and other demonstrations in the 150 days following the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, are the same kinds of actions protesters are planning for the new year.”

-Which hasn’t changed, and won’t change, the fact that the grand jury findings and the facts of the case both show that the officer in this case acted appropriately.

“It’s a playbook that has puzzled many in the St. Louis area who aren’t sure what the protesters are asking for, how long demonstrations will continue, or even who is leading the charge.”

-Oh, so it’s OWS all over again?

“That’s because while the protesters are drawing on civil rights movements of the past, they are also drafting their own blueprints.”

-Translation: they’re a bunch of boneheads who really don’t have any idea of what they’re doing.

What a bunch of goofballs.

I can imagine what an author with such a name looks like.

Looking for answers? Look for ANSWER, and the RCP and the CPUSA.

They’re protesting but they don’t know what they want? Ok.

It is according to what color you are. If you are the right color it is.

Where does the money come from?

I am certain there is taxpayer money involved somewhere

FergusonPersons can read a blueprint?

Since when?

Strict proof is demanded.

I would also bet the rent money that the police brass and prosecutors have received orders from Washington D.C. on how to act. And I would also bet that the “protestors” are receiving instructions and advice from the Department of Justice on what moves to make. And you can rest assured that tax money is used to support the “protestors”.

Not sure how the use of longhand is relevant to the rioting...

I’m surprised they can even print a blueprint at all. Prussian blue aint what it used to be.

I’m not even sure if that is supposed to be sarcastic. I mean, the one in the middle?

Photo-shopped. Fake, but accurate.

Ahh...

My knowledge of Photoshop is only to the extent of adjusting colour levels on images scanned from 135 film. I sometimes work with old film, and the raw image, most of the time, is all right—just needs minor adjustment. But I do know how to perform more involved colour restoration...

It’s just one of my many hobbies...
