Criminal behavior is not a civil right.

What a load of bollocks.

So there you have it: Michael Brown was shot because slavery is still legal.

[cripplecreek]

Yet the mayor is white. The city council is overwhelmingly white, as is the school board.

And who is at fault for that?

The Koolaid is strong in these two.

Chief Justice Roger Taney, a Catholic Democrat from Maryland, kind of like Nanzi Pelosi.

These individuals neglected to mention riots, arson, and looting.

Funny, that ...

[spodefly]

It took TWO people to write that ...

So Mike Brown wasn't a U.S. citizen? What was the point of this drivel?

[Reddy]

I was driving home tonight and picked up some radio station-maybe Chicago, the guy was named Nathan and he and his callers are black. It was like listening to facts from some other, unrelated case. They claimed Brown paid for his cigars, had his hands up (despite autopsy reports indicating that could not happen) and otherwise was an innocent bystander in the whole event.

It was seriously disturbing that they actually believe the cop killed Brown because he hates black before all the evidence is available.

Oh boo hoo...

” an unarmed African-American teenager in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. “

I figured out why the ‘media’ keeps putting the world ‘unarmed’ in the sentence.

Because... that is what made him unique.

If it’s bleeding it’s not a corpse, not yet.

Professor john a. powell (who writes his name in lower-case letters) teaches courses on Dred Scott.

Gee, I thought that privilege was reserved for e. e. cummings and various and sundry lesbian writers.

In regard to the Dred Scott decision:

It was decided against Scott in a 7 - 2 decision. Chief Justice Roger Taney was a Democrat. The six concurring justices were either Democrats or (where their political party is unclear) were appointed by Democrats.

Of the two dissenting justices, John McLean was a Republican, and Benjamin Curtis was a Whig.

Justice Curtis later resigned from the Supreme Court, partly because of his disgust with the decision.

The cognitive dissonance of the left never fails to manifest itself.

Due to start college? What college? Occidental? Columbia? Harvard? On the Klown “ghost” plan?

"The Dred Scott decision of 1857 is considered by many to be the worst one in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. It ruled that African-Americans, whether slave or free, could not be citizens, ever."

Yes, and the Roe v Wade decision was of the same ilk, employing the same sort of rationale, and even more evil than The Dred Scott decision. Roe ruled that children prior to birth are not even persons, much less citizens. And I'm sure that Amy Goodman celebrates Roe, oblivious to the moral and legal inconsistencies. Her mind is too made up to confuse with any facts, as the drivel in her article demonstrates.
