T-Shirts, hats, vacations, book deal, movie deal ...

[FlingWingFlyer]

A bigger scam than “global warming”.

[NohSpinZone]

F’ing ghouls, feasting on the flesh of their thug child. The rioters should march on their house and demand their cut.

[antidemoncrat]

That’s not the only one. There have been several payouts recently for black families that have had sons killed by police. Even if the police were exonerated over the killing.

[kaehurowing]

Black Privilege

[Gay State Conservative]

OK,now that that filthy clan has their $1.5 million it's time for the shop owner and store clerk in that video to sue for $3 million.

[lee martell]

#1. $1.4 Million is not all that much money considering how many fees and taxes will be sliced off first. Considering how internationally infamous this story was, and the copycat riots it inspired.

#2. I hear that ex-policeman is still unemployed.
That’s a sad waste of training and ability. I get it that he could no longer effectively serve in Fergusson, but surely there must be someplace not ruled by racism, or give him a new identity in someplace like Hawaii, Guam or Alaska.

[FES0844]

My heart aches for the cop.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Families of whites killed by police don't get these huge payouts, so WHY do blacks get PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT? What about that black b*tch mayor who gave Freddie Gray's family MILLIONS and BEFORE the officers' trial where they were ALL found not guilty? Do the taxpayers get their money back now? WHY ISN'T THIS MAYOR BEING PROSECUTED?

Has anyone noticed that now that Trump is president we're not getting any burning cities in black communities like when Halfrican Baracko Odumbu was president?

[Alberta's Child]

Rodney King was awarded $3.8 million by a jury when he sued the City of Los Angeles after the beating he got at the hands of the LAPD.

He died at the age of 47 -- drowned in his pool while apparently strung out on a combination of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, and PCP.

All the money in the world ain't enough to civilize some people.

[SkyDancer]

Now maybe those businesses that were burned down because their idiot son can sue them.

[DUMBGRUNT]

A fool and his money...

[Responsibility2nd]

1.5 million dollars.

I’m guessing 2 years max.

2 years before these grown up thugs piss though that money with nothing left. Nothing to show for it. And nothing left to do except go back on the Welfare gravy train.

[Responsibility2nd]

F’ing ghouls, feasting on the flesh of their thug child. The rioters should march on their house and demand their cut.

 

Indeed. Many of the rioters and looters bussed in to Ferguson by Soros and other scum-wads never got paid.

Wass-up wit dat?

[I want the USA back]

It’s reparations with another name.

[Bubba_Leroy]

He died at the age of 47 -- drowned in his pool while apparently strung out on a combination of alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, and PCP.

I was really surprised that he lived as long as he did. I bet he would O.D. within a couple of years of getting his big payoff.

[Steely Tom]

1.5 million dollars.

I’m guessing 2 years max.

2 years before these grown up thugs piss though that money with nothing left. Nothing to show for it. And nothing left to do except go back on the Welfare gravy train.

I'm guessing three months. Maybe three weeks.

[Seruzawa]

The $ will be gone in 6 months. Frittered away on cadillacs, fancy grilles and cocaine. Or maybe they will buy a house that will be a flophouse for crackheads inside a year.

[mass55th]

They’ll go through that money faster than Grant took Richmond.
