What part of these events now have the media so confused, that

Please. The media is not confused. They are channeling black anger into riots.

Yes, you’re right of course. I have such a hard time thinking like that, but you’re right.

Meanwhile at Sharpton HQ

“START THE RACE WARE NOW!!!”

...

“Thanks for the call, Barack. We’ll get right on it.”

“black anger”

What do they have to be angry about?
I drove past these guys in the early PM for years, seeing them play b-ball while I was working, the best years of my life. Oddly enough, very few were fishing, or doing something that might put food on their table.
These grasshoppers looked to working suckers to do that, feed and house them, having lived their entire lives “depending on the kindness of strangers”. Now they get free health care while our premiums skyrocket, but hey ...
let me see if I understand: *they* are angry?
Why?
Not because another thug bit the pavement (yawn), but because he wasn’t smoked by another thug? Gimme a break and show me the money, Jesse.

I agree. They do the same things out here.

I’ve been off here for 10+ day

It's been a good 10 days to be off FR. It's really ugly out there. And I doubt it's gonna get better any time soon.

As to your question, I have no idea. There are lots of people hoping the cop will be found guilty. IMHO, that's one of the reasons Holder and his people are in town. To make sure there's not another Travon.

Here is something I find very interesting: MICHAEL BROWN: A VERSION THE SHARPTONS AND JACKSONS OF THE WORLD DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT

The cop had six years on the force. Hard to imagine someone with that experience losing it and shooting at a perp like that.

“A couple of reporters were arrested. For conspiracy to commit journalism, I suppose” Jake Tapper, CNN just now

Clearly, a first time offense.

“black anger”

What do they have to be angry about?

I'm not going to expend energy explaining black anger. It's certainly not peace and love they are projecting.

Why does anyone even try to stop them? Let them riot and destroy their community. They can all just pitch in rebuilding it themselves after all the decent shop owners abandon it.

They can truck in their own food, provide utilities and live without the evil white man.

Thank you, I’ll have to go read that and try to catch up!

These protests are always described as starting off peaceful.

Yep - the smoke and rubble of the aftermath kind of belies the "peaceful" adjective.
