Bring it on fools, the rebuilding should definitely help the economy. Watts all over again - they are dreaming of the 1960s and are bound and determined to relive it.

The Rev. Al Sharpton has always been keen to maintain his reputation as the least plausible cleric since Elmer Gantry.
The racial tension and riots in Ferguson, Mo. have proved to be the perfect vehicle to do just that.
Not just satisfied with creating unrest in one beleaguered Missouri city, though, the “Reverend” is looking to go national with his “peaceful protests” that worked out so well in Ferguson.
With that, Sharpton’s group, the National Action Network (NAN) has put out a list of national protest sites, because apparently just one city experiencing hellish violence and racial strife just isn’t enough. [H/T Gateway Pundit.]
“In anticipation of the impending grand jury decision in Ferguson, MO, National Action Network (NAN) Chapters are encouraging community members to join them when it is announced,” the statement reads.
“Regardless of what the decision is, NAN chapters in over 20 cities around the country will gather.” So you lose either way.
If Officer Wilson is indicted, the release says, the protests “will focus on what would be a teaching moment on how to deal with national legislation for policing.”
I had personally thought the unctuous, condescending, leaden idiom “teaching moment” had been retired, but apparently it still lives on in the lexicon of the professionally-offended.
“If the Ferguson grand jury decision clears him of criminal charges then NAN will call for protests to remain peaceful and for the federal government to come in with a federal grand jury to move for civil rights charges on excessive force,” it continues.
Yes, just like the “peaceful” protests that Sharpton and other leaders have led in Ferguson up until now..
Given their previous success at keeping their civil disobedience peaceful in Ferguson, you might think that Sharpton and his compatriots might have decided to forego these mass gatherings this time, but no, they’re going to keep right at it.
We all know that when Al Sharpton uses the phrase “peaceful protest,” it’s done with a nudge and a wink.
It’s an meaningless blanket get-out-of-jail-free card meant to keep him out of trouble when these race baiting spectacles inevitably spiral out of control.
It seems that Sharpton seems to sense the writing on the wall as to how the grand jury will go.
This week, Sharpton wrote a piece in the New York Times, suggesting that we do away with the grand jury process (at least in cases like Officer Wilson’s), and merely take the person to jury trial.
Because if the facts don’t work out in your favor, change the rules. And if that doesn’t work, break stuff.

I don’t have a problem with them doing that. The more the merrier. Only when the pain exceeds the pleasure will the law abiding citizens get enough and stop it[them].
I’m not 100% sure, but I think that was a different list.
Also, XOXOXOXO...you’re the best!
In NJ, Newark and Paterson are hellholes that have never recovered the black riots of the 1960s.
They were once manufacturing and retail powerhouses.
Now they look like a scene out of “Escape from New York”.
If they burned down, how would we tell the difference?
What? Baltimore is not on here?
I’m offended.
Here’s a listing with some texas cities

His quote was bang on.
AL IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US TEXANS! WE WANT OUR PROTESTS!
That goes for at least half of those cities. I cannot believe they add Detroit to the list for victimhood. Can’t get any lower, supposedly.
How do you think DC and Balto feel, we bruthas! Left out!
That’s a good one. I was sipping my coffee when I read it. Good thing the coffee hasn’t kicked in and I was forced to deliberate on the quality of that joke, thus avoiding destroying me Macbook. Nacho cheese.
There are some sceduled in Baltimore city too.
Charleston is in SC. Let the games begin.
That’s waisis! Plus, the corn’s already been harvested.

Apparently not.
The DO”J” is reportedly supplying the weapons+
in Operation Fast&Furgeson. The first were
delivered by Black Panthers/Holder.
The Phoenix location is about a mile from my church.
Well, those diamond merchants and interlopers are all over the country. So hundreds er thousands of stores might have to be burned down with the people still inside. Social justice, don't you know.
