‘No justice; No peace!’ chants in Ferguson are actually saying, ‘We want revenge!’
The Washington Times ^ | August 18, 2014 | Ernest Istook

In Ferguson, Missouri, a desire for revenge has replaced a desire for justice.

A police shooting was the first tragedy there, but more tragedies have piled on top of it. Those who complain that the officer rushed to judgment are doing their own rush to judgment themselves. They seek to dictate the consequences even without knowing. And unlike the officer, they have zero first-hand knowledge.

Instead of waiting out the investigation, they’re chanting, “No justice; No peace!” as a politically correct slogan that actually means, “We want revenge!” That attitude makes bad things become worse.

The police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown was the first tragedy. Ferguson police compounded the impact when the young man’s body was left lying in the street, uncovered and highly visible to all in the black neighborhood where the shooting happened.

Some media and black leaders quickly stoked outrage and rushed to judgment— acting with the very haste for which they condemn the policeman who fired the fatal shots. Officer Darren Wilson says he defended himself when attacked by Mr. Brown, and says that Mr. Brown tried to take the officer’s gun. Video evidence of Mr. Brown’s strong-arm tactics in allegedly robbing a convenience store that day is not proof that Officer Wilson was attacked. But the video demonstrates how the 6-foot-4, 292-pound Mr. Brown was physically intimidating and had been willing to use his strong-arm strength only minutes before the shooting....

The justice that is sought means jail for thousands of black criminal acts

The criminals are those running and screaming and looting and burning.

Communist tactic: create civil unrest and disorder, leading to a destabilization of the civil order, giving the left an opening to rush in and establish a Peoples’ Paradise.

Though Holder would never consider having black panthers arrested for inciting violence, IMHO, this DOES meet the standard of not being allowed to shout “FIRE!” in a crowded movie theater...

“Who do we want? Darren Wilson!”
“How do we want him? DEAD!”

Okay, I get it. They want revenge? Then, let them have it. Then I will be able to get revenge on every public school official who didn’t like what I had to say in class trying to get the students to straighten up and live right and not become “Ferguson” types. If they get their revenge, then all of us everywhere who have abhorred what authority has done to us will get our revenge too. Bring it on.

Ah the French, what a waste of twin flotation devices near the end.

” They’re sowing a bitter harvest with their actions.”

Not really. Once Ferguson is fully torched, and everything of value is looted, they will go to the next town and demand (and get) the free stuff they got before. There is nothing bitter for them, only taxpayers.

Their goal is justification to steal. Ghetto animals. Does the National Guard have permission to shoot looters?

Michael got his justice as did Trayvon — summarily.

How many perps have to attack others without reason before they find out that justice often comes out of the victim’s gun barrel?

There are good, hard-working Americans who are paying for these protesters’ cell phones, bandanas, and gas for their Molotov cocktails. I’m so sick and tired of hearing “Poor me.” Get out and get a job. A change is not gonna come until you work for it and quit expecting handouts. It’s outrageous.

In short, that mob in Ferguson is acting like the animals in a herd like writer George Gilder described way back in the 1980’s.

“steal, kill, and destroy”?

Cut off the handouts,

and after a “brief disruption” in civil society,

all will be made right again.

The clown Obama tried to appoint to the DoJ civil rights division last year said if he was confirmed he was going to be targeting police.

This has been in the works for at least a year they were just waiting for the right “incident”, the spark to ignite the flame, they could then ratchet up to a raging inferno.

“Prairie Fire”-Bill Ayers-Weather Underground playbook.
