"The people riot in this particular case to demonstrate the basic contract of civilization, you obey the law and I’ll obey the law. When the cops don’t obey the law, why on earth should anybody else?"

Since Obama and Holder refuse to uphold the law, obey the laws, and follow the orders of the court, I guess I don't have to either.

From the link:

“We were doing a story on an app that describes ‘sketchy’ neighborhoods,” Lenghi said. “It led us to the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest, and I’m not going to call it a ‘sketchy’ neighborhood, but as folks were telling us that it was a good neighborhood, and that not much activity happens around there — as that was being told to us, our van was being robbed.”

“We got back to the news van,” he continued, “and noticed that the lock was popped out. Got in there, and noticed that all of our stuff was gone.

The problem is not that one criminal was shot.
The problem is that not enough criminals have been shot
= = = = = = = = = =
Very true.
But the longer ‘we’ let this go on - like I said, about 50 years now - it becomes almost impossible to stop.

Going in with a ‘Swat Team’ guns a blazin will put an end to it BUT ‘we’ have condoned this behavior for so long that before you know it, ‘others’ will be participating in the festivities because they have no reason to believe ‘we’ will do anything to stop it.

That is the sorrowful part....

You actually side with the subhuman rioters?

I don’t see why anybody should obey the law presently, quite frankly. Holder and DOJ are a perfect example of what I am talking about.

I side with those who are livid about lawless police treating the people they are supposed to serve and protect so abusively.

I believe we have a winner. Only I would have called them communists. Same difference, though.

You'd think that would be a valid defense in any criminal case. Once a criminal act is de-criminalized, doesn't it become a legal precedence? For instance: If Holder isn't going to enforce the federal offence of illegal immigration, I can rob a bank (a federal offence) and claim I'm innocent because of selective enforcement.

“Crowds reportedly yelled slogans including “kill the police” in protests that broke out later. Police sent SWAT teams and anti-riot squads to contain the full-scale riots and looting”.........

What happened to all those used armored military vehicles various police departments are getting from odumbo? Those vehicles are being sent for just such purposes, RIOT CONTROL. (Our local police in a city of approximately 6500 has one). You want to quell a riot, see one of those babies with a 30 cal mounted on the roof lumbering towards you, my bet is most rioters would scatter.

= = = = = = = = = = = =
Supposedly someone on a twitter or twatter or whatever the obozo phones can carry the message on (reportedly) twatted that the looters should move into the white neighborhoods.

That game just may get interesting then..Maybe not so much in the ‘affluent’ suburbs of a large city but I would imagine some of those little outlying hamlets wouldn’t mind getting in some ‘range’ time.

Speaking of the obozophones etc, this may be the ‘army’ he had said he wanted to ‘start’ with the citizenry.

Maybe the flash mobs and knockout games were just things to see how much we would take.

However, I do find it hard to believe there is much ‘intelligent’ planning involved here...more reminiscent of the old Mickey Rooney movies where the theme was ‘lets put on a show’.

They, apparently with ‘OUR’ blessing, (as a whole we have sat back and watched this festering boil grow to where it may appear the only solution is an armed conflict) have been building to this moment since the ‘Great Society’ was birthed.

NOW that is something that should have underwent an abortion.

‘WE’ now have a couple of generations that have been coddled and given absolutely no will to ‘live’, just hang around and get the freebies and ‘hope’ for the opportunity to ‘tear shiite up’, just to get in ‘Whiteys’ face.

I am afraid there is a 2014+ version of Concord Green coming and ‘Paul Revere’ won’t have to leave his house to spread the word.....

It won’t be ‘Don’t fire till you see the ‘whites’ of their eyes’, it will be “When you see someone in a hoodie in 100 degree weather, wisely discharge some of your ammo”.

This mismaladministration has managed to worsen a long running ‘crisis’ in the cities, added with the invasion from the southern border we may be in for some memorable times.
Who was it that said all they had to do was sit back and watch is ‘destroy ourselves from within’?

Mob rule? I see both points—let them “burn off” that energy; after all, it’s only property, versus apply force and possibly exacerbate the situation. I do not support this stand by and let the widespread destruction occur of property and people’s forms of livelihood. This mentality also sends a clear message that has enabled flash mob thefts. Utter nonsense.

‘Swat Team’ vs the Twatter team!

And I the taxpayer pay for everything.

"While reporters were playing “oh so offended liberal elites”, thieves broke into their news truck and "stold" their stuff. I'll see if I can find the link..."

That's funny on SO many levels.
