Just a half mile away, the site of a QuikTrip that was looted and torched a night after Brown's death is being transformed. The lot that had been the nexus of protests will become an "empowerment" center destined to offer workforce training and employment placement for underserved youth.
Any bets that it'll become a gathering spot to deal drugs.
Liberalism at it's worst.
BTW, expect much coverage of Ferguson this weekend as the drive-bys note the anniversary of the “gentle giants” death
They burned and gutted the town, caused the cops to pull back. Crime increased. Bush’s fault.
Who’s Michael Brown?
Everything changed on Aug. 9, 2014, when a white police officer named Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old. The street confrontation on that sultry day launched the “Black Lives Matter” movement.
And the fact that the black lives matter movement was launched based on a lie doesn’t matter to anyone. That whole hands up dont shoot scene never happened, but was spread as the story by activists and a compliant media.
The fact that the policeman wasn’t indicted doesn’t matter to anyone.
The fact that even the sympathetic Eric Holder justice department saw no cause or ability to bring any charges in the case, as a result of their investigation, doesn’t matter to anyone.
Instead, all that matters is the myth that young black men are being shot for no reason. All that matters is the narrative.
Houses that used to sell for $350,000 are now going for $75,000.
People are walking away from upside-down mortgages to escape.
Nothing has changed in Fergie. It was going downhill and it has continued to go downhill.
Obama, through his new HUD edicts, now wants every town to be a Ferguson.
Add "Hood Gang Headquarters Central," and it's good to go.
The Obama "Newspeak" is the new normal, now, inducing peals of laughter and the idea of the "underserved youth," meaning, of course, indolent career criminals under the age of 25... who will always serve themselves, and also help themselves to anything that isn't nailed down, and if that is not possible, destroy it.
More confiscated taxpayer (non-government) worker money down the black hole...
The one-year mark of the Ferguson Incident is upon us. And at this hour, I have yet to hear anything of any ceremonies, rallies, or any marking by the Left of the date - if anyone else has anything that might indicate, please share it.
We have seen canonization efforts around black martyrs, like Saint Skittles and now the Gentle Giant. How long before we see the Left's version of Horst Wessel?
The Watchman Ping List - FReepmail Old Sarge for details!
Hows that new StrBux doing there ¿?
“an unarmed black 18-year-old.”
Drink!
A 300# man bum-rushing you is a danger to life and limb, period.
More like a "centralization" center for government race card bribe grants that will focus the funds to the pockets with the biggest cards. Also lots of nepotism jobs and paychecks for coming in every two weeks.
IMO it was proven that the white guy did everything right, the black guy did everything wrong along with the rest of the black community. The result is that blacks get rewarded with more council members, more (less competent) black police, and the city will be on a faster track to MORE crime and more liberalism. That’s justice in Bizarro America.
For the better or not? Comments seem to give mixed results.
Yeah, it changed. Ferguson went from a St. Louis shanty suburb to Mogadishu. This is what “room to destroy” looks like.
Sure it’s changed you don’t have stupid kids charging cops.
If the “empowerment center” is anything like the ones around here, no one will be inside using the “services”.and the parking lot will be full of illegal aliens looking for day-labor jobs.
Yea! There are a lot less stores there!!!
“Everything changed on Aug. 9, 2014, when a white police officer named Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old.”
To add both detail and context left out by the Associated Propaganda writer:
“Everything changed on Aug. 9, 2014, when a white police officer named Darren Wilson, in self defense, shot and killed a black thug named Michael Brown who was attacking the officer after having committed strong arm robbery.”
