‘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....

Young black hooligans aren't 'asking for trouble' they're just being lower class and tacky. Could it be that it's all they know?

Maybe our response should be more like the democrat response - give them a new youth center... tell them 'yes, yes, we understand your pain' and then bring in Hispanics to do entry level jobs.

It's possible democrats understand blacks better than we do...

Ferguson's a war on police. A war on order... and the rule of law.

Obama’s using chaos...

Just like Benghazi was an exercise to show the military they were impotent against evil, Ferguson gives that horror to police departments around the country. Police may NOT protect themselves or their citizens any more than the military could protect their SEALS.

That's the message.

Alinsky said to use a groups ‘rules and beliefs’ against them... hang them with their own rope. Interesting to watch. It's not going to work - Obama and Holder will lose - but it's mildly entertaining to watch.

What you are seeing has been the Clintons MO since 1991.

Every time since 1991, when a Clinton has their sight set on the WH or staying in the WH, there has been planned or orchestrated civil unrest.

Time after time after time the Clintons have orchestrated civil unrest around a “R King” type incident.

Really? Tragic only in the sense that the deceased's compounded bad choices in life led to his early death.

eft lying in the street, uncovered and highly visible to all in the black neighborhood where the shooting happened.

What's so special about a "black neighborhood"? Is the author admitting that there's something fundamentally broken in "black" urban culture?

Some media and black leaders

I keep seeing this term "black leaders" ... but never "white leaders"? Is the author admitting further evidence that "black" urban culture is terminally broken ... hence the need for racial/racists "leaders"?

"Some people partially hollow out a cigar and fill it with weed. They may feel they can smoke this cigar in public and not be detected. A marijuana-tobacco cigar is called a 'blunt,' said to be because Phillies Blunt cigars were originally used. Swisher Sweets brand of small cigars are often used to make blunts, along with Garcia y Vega and White Owl cigars. This practice may have started being popular among the rap music crowd but it has spread much farther today."

I’m reading it as them telling “outsiders” to get off their turf, that the thugs are in charge - and any who cross them will be destroyed (just like the store that reported the instigating theft). Drawing tribal boundaries.

Something else people better pay attention to.

In 1991 with the R King video is also the time period the terrorist began planning for the 1st WTC bombing in 1993.

The 1st WTC bombing was timed to correspond with the 2nd trial of the LA police and the left are on record planning more race riots.

Each and every time since the 1st WTC bombing in 1993, when the left gins up civil unrest there is a terrorist attack in the works, it’s never failed.

With Benghazi we were told it was just a “spontaneous” protest followed with a “spontaneous” terrorist attack.

There is nothing “spontaneous” about it, the left is orchestrating civil unrest for the terrorist attacks.

With 9/11/01 they began planning the attack somewhere around 1998-99. At the same time the Clintons started their plan to get Hillary into the WH which they called their “20 year plan”.

B Clinton president 8 years, 4 years for another president, then Hillary for 8 years.

Not only did the Clintons have to make sure Gore didn’t get elected they had to come up with a plan to bring down a sitting president and or make sure he didn’t get reelected.

Following the 2004 election OBL released a tape or statement where OBL made it clear the objective of the 9/11 attack was to bring down the president.

There is no other reason for OBL to be planning an attack 2 years in advance to bring down the next president unless the plan is to replace him with someone more to their liking.

The same time the Clintons are hatching a plan to bring down the next president and get Hillary into the WH, OBL is hatching a plan to bring down the next president and get someone to his liking into the WH.

In my mind there is no way possible that can be just a coincidence.

“No justice; No peace!” is an Islamic phrase.
Justice = Sharia law.

Imagine what life would be like if we were disarmed.

What concerns me is if we become dis-ammo-ed. Same thing if the magazine is empty.

Time to fix bayonets.
