Remind me of the last time there was a "peaceful" race riot? "Excuse me, sir, please move aside while I pilfer your rims and other automotive accessories. Thank you!"

Many law-abiding citizens are watching....and buying more guns.

If Brown had been peaceful, would he have been shot?

The nationwide protests on Thursday were named, “Day of Rage.” Such a nice warm fuzzy peaceful name.

A nation where Cliven Bundy supporters are allowed to meet federal force with their own force and allowed to aim guns at federal officials and have those officials fall back while in Ferguson, protesters were tear-gassed.

A popular talk show host has a different take vis-a-vis Bundy.

Violence, looting, burning, destruction, rioting virtually everything short of mass murder. The Obama Administration sends federal suits to investigate ways of nailing the cops.. in particular one policeman.

Bundy and family peacefully going about their ranch business are surrounded by and in the sights of heavily armed militarily outfitted federal employees and contractors. Far more deadly than Waco even.

So who's the racists? Obama and Holder or the Bundys and supporters?

Thoughtful Americans are coming to strongly suspect that the cop was,after all,justified in shooting the anything-but-gentle giant.

Should America have listened?
How about if the protest documented white on black killings an compared them with black on white killings?
If this cop did something wrong, I want him in jail. SO far the evidence is incomplete and much of it exonerates him. Should America have “listened”?

This wasn’t a ‘race’ riot.

It was a false protest followed by a planned looting spree in which the looters protested the response of LE to the looting by rioting.

Being heard isn’t all that matters.

What is America “listening” to? None of the rest of the country is going to get Wilson into a trial, or fix the destroyed businesses, or convince the owners not to pick up and move to a city that doesn’t treat them like dirt.

If you want to be treated like a “man”? ACT like a man... and, not a freaking animal.

I am not sure there was anything they said that was a) true or b) worth listening to.

They were rioting for justice and against the right of self defense.

I have no doubt that this is going to end badly! If you are black and killed by a white your life is worth something, but if you are black and killed by another black, your life is meaningless............

Another community thing that has been overwhelmed by outside liberal influences. Where are the local citizens, community appointed leaders, their fact finding committees, and a list of their grievances and recommended solutions. Must everything be resolved by these outside influences?

Like spoiled children, no give and take, only gimme one way, my way solutions. No other facts, no other compromises, no other ideas, no implied responsibilities from anyone. Only gimme an instant resolution to the old lingering issues that have been around for decades.

Same old faces. Same old victims. Same old results. Same old sh*t. Insanity! (Doing the same old thing and expecting a different result)

Instead of burning the community down, why don’t they try building it up for a change.

The victims of police shootings are disproportionately black.

Typical omission of the other side of the equation which balances it all out: "The perpetrators of these crimes is disproportionately black"....

If they ever get beyond "New Math" and learn to balance the equations out, they may have an epiphany...
