He’s either a useful tool, or he knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. You know - just like The Won!
Either way, MO loses. And then we all lose.
I’m expecting a LOT of bloodshed before the week is through. And come Monday - The Funeral.
I swear to gawd, if 0bama attends that funeral, after blowing off his ranking GENERAL being killed, there is no turning back for me. I will go nuts.
Just to be on the safe side, I’ll be in my bunker cleaning my guns and packing shells. Life Is Good. ;)
Indict him for obstructing justice!
From the first time I heard this guy speak I knew he was a POS.
Anyone who doesn’t get that riots are manufactured needs to watch this mess closely.
Would the governor like it if those who were angered by his comments showed up and trashed the governor’s mansion? I doubt it. But that is where he’s at, he’s put it all at the level of mob violence, and is fanning the flames.
"This just goes to prove, that you are the leading asshole in the State."
Must be taking notes while observing our POTUS in panties way of handling such things (beer summit prequel and Trayvon Martin come to mind).
What clause in the Constitution refers to “achieving justice”?
Frist let's have the hanging !
The verdict and investigation can come later.
Let's appease the looters and rioters so life can return to normal, quickly.
Thank you Gov. ,.. you idiot !
This is the most irresponsible comment from a sitting governor that I’ve heard in many, many years.
BTW, this demoncrat filth is right ... vigorous prosecutions are needed.
Lots of rioters and looters in jail that need to be vigorously prosecuted.
The Governor got the Pravda and is following the Ukase from Comrade Holder...
“This governor is stark,raving mad. Has he no idea what he has just done?”
He knows exactly what he has done.
I can be hard on cops. I will always demand accountability for cops. So this carries weight: thay was a good shoot.
So he’s already decide guilt and innocence ? What a sham.
Well, this assures the officer will now have his trial moved.
” So I ask that we continue to stand together as we work to achieve justice for Michael Brown, restore hope and peace to the streets of Ferguson, and march together toward a future of greater opportunity and understanding for all of us, Nixon said.”
No justice for the officer! Not even the benefit of the doubt.
