The Ferguson Fix Is In
FrontPage Mag ^ | 08/20/2014 | Matthew Vadum

As mass hysteria over the fatal shooting of a Ferguson, Missouri resident Michael Brown grips the progressive movement, President Obama is sending the most divisive, corrupt race-baiter in his cabinet to the riot-torn St. Louis suburb where the suspect died.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who has single-mindedly focused on converting the Department of Justice into a racial grievance incubator, is scheduled to visit Ferguson, Mo., today in an appearance billed as an attempt to restore calm to a community that has erupted in almost daily violence since Brown, a young black man, was shot Aug. 9 by a police officer. Left-wingers who believe as an article of faith that America is racist insist, despite the growing body of exculpatory evidence, that Brown was murdered by a white policeman. They will not be dissuaded no matter how much proof accumulates that the officer fired on Brown because he believed his life was in danger.

The visit comes as the Left’s narrative that the nearly 300-lbs. Brown, who had just robbed a convenience store minutes before encountering decorated policeman Darren Wilson, was an innocent gentle giant trying to surrender, unravels more and more each day. More witnesses are coming forward to identify Brown as the aggressor in a vicious attack on Wilson in which he tried to grab the gun of the six-year veteran of the Ferguson police force and inflicted head injuries so severe that the officer may lose an eye.

Yet the belief that Brown is the real victim remains strong in many circles.

If I was the ferguson police department, I would walk. Tell them they can have the city.

But

That is what the left wants. Ferguson and other cities lawless so they can take over. What kind of sick mind do you have to have to want chaos?

Amazing how a few minorities place in key positions have set back race relations 60 years, if not more.

Are you trying to tell me that MAYBE the media twisted related the story to make the COPS look bad and Michael Brown look like the innocent angel?

I am SHOCKED, just SHOCKED and well, SHOCKED.

Another small town police department gets a bad rap. Trouble is, the policemen are going to have a tough time finding work elsewhere. "Ferguson" is simply toxic.

===========================================

Time to get outta Dodge.
If the middle class (of whatever color) leaves Ferguson the jobs will disappear too. THEN there will be even more problems.

Those who made the mess will deny that they made the mess, as they walk all the way to the Food Bank, the unemployment benefits office, the Welfare line and to the media to cry: "Woe to us. Poor us."

--------------------------------------

The way life works is, in THIS ORDER:
1. Get an education;
2. Get a job;
3. Get married;
4. Have children

ANYTHING out of that order is listening to SATAN.

Plus the governor of the state has spoken openly about the need to have justice done “for Michael Brown.” He’s not the one who might be put on trial.

Exactly right. It will be a kangaroo court.

1. Maybe not. A cop's stint in Ferguson may give him status in police departments ALL OVER THE WORLD.

2. You got that right.

How many of these businesses being torched in Ferguson, MO are owned by Blacks or at least provided jobs for Blacks in the neighborhood? Soon the local thugs will have no place to go to steal their Swisher Sweets and Skittles.

Detroit is the shining example for THAT scenario. Only, in Detroit, it took place over decades... it was inevitable, but it took a while.

In places like Ferguson, the process is accelerated by the MSM, the Liberals and a President who doesn’t give a s%$# about the residents (no matter WHO they are) just so long as HIS agenda goes forward.

We have one stupid and selfish SOB in the WH and it will take forever to recover from the damage he does, almost on an hourly basis.

Officer Wilson will shortly be a political prisoner and then a casualty of the war that Obama and Holder are conducting against the US. There will never be racial equality and peace as long as the political Left is in charge. There is too much money and power to be derived through the endless conflict.

And every merchant in the city will do the same. Small business owners providing food, clothing and living necessities will abandon the city because it just isn't worth the cost, pain and suffering.

And then the same race-baiters will yell and stomp their feet that the merchants left them and predictably and lamely blame it on racism.

Holder and Obama want a blood example for the rest of the sheep.

(when did this one drop of blood rule with regards to Obama? Instead of saying he is of both “worlds” he elects to go with the most zombie voting.)

Why are we hearing nothing from law enforcement organizations?

I think they are in shock at the veracity of the racists in this.

The goal is to polarize and enrage and foment even more racial tension and violence to distract from Obama’s seemingly endless political problems, as well as to energize the Democratic Party’s base so they vote in droves in November. Democrats who aren’t in denial are now deathly afraid of the electoral tsunami approaching that seems increasingly likely to leave Republicans in control of both houses of Congress. A GOP recapture of the Senate no longer looks dicey; the only question is how big a majority Republicans will have in that dusty old chamber where good conservative ideas go to die.

This guy nails it. Everything in Ferguson is being staged by the White House for the purpose of getting Blacks to the polls in November. Without their reliable votes, the Democrats are going to experience a monumental ass whooping and they know it. This is nothing more than a plan to mitigate that disaster. See what you can do when you control the government, have a compliant press corps, and are completely unbound by constraints of law, morality, and Constitutional constraint.

===============================

WE also have a duly elected Congress in D.C. and in every state and they support the Democrat party, elected TWICE into office.
We have to look in the mirror for SOME of the blame, don't you think?
