What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson?

Posted on 11/26/2014 10:28:50 AM PST by Jim Robinson

What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson? Rocks, bottles, bricks, Molotov cocktails thrown. Stores looted and burned. Private property destroyed. Cars burned. Churches burned. Smoke, tear gas. Gunfire, including from automatic (assault) rifles. Looked and sounded like a war zone.

Dang. Almost as bad as those tea party rallies the DHS has been warning us about.

Where to have the most anger towards...hmmm. Obama and Holder continually hating on law enforcement, mangling up the rule of law to serve their interests and disavowing the police at every turn while giving the thugs a heads up to riot and to destroy as the Obama regime moves his radical agenda; basically against whites, on through.

It’s sickening also to see the media making a narrative (actually, brainwashing), in making these protestors as some kind of a beautiful and monumental expression towards supporting an idea of stopping white cops from killing black children. They were poor due to the white establishment. Heaven forbid, they look to the liberalism they themselves gave power to.

On the bright side, ha.. if you are black and angry, go riot, loot, rob and burn because you have an excuse because Obama said the blacks have a reason to feel the way they do about the poleice..

If you are tea party, you are a terrorist.

*It showed how utterly contemptible the media is in driving their agenda.*

IMHO there would’ve been no riots if not for the extreme Leftist media. Part of the Socialist’s plan is to instill distrust of the police.

Instead of “Hands Up Don’t Shoot!”

It should be “PANTS UP! DON’T LOOT...”

Obama and Holder declarations from the first day of the death of the young Black killed by white cop were directed to incite the racial riots. Upon their conscience, or lack of it, rest the main responsibility for the Ferguson riots.

Disgusting. Having said that I think the bulk of it was done by: Anarchists from out of town Local looters I think this neighborhood is controlled by the local chapter of the Bloods (or is it the Crips?). The stepfather was obviously involved: The entire thing was an orchestrated drama served up for network coverage.

You had the mother and stepfather standing around waiting for the announcement as though they didn't already know that Wilson wasn't being indicted. The announcement was made, the mother wailed on cue, the stepfather yells "Burn this mother down!" on cue, and they torch the Autozone.

There was no mob mentality. No one was killed** or seriously hurt, and no cops were shot, even though there was a good bit of gunfire.

** There was one death. A man named Deandre Joshua was murdered. The rumor is that he was a snitch who testified honestly to the grand jury.

Fox got boring for a time this morning, so I flipped to CNN. They were doing everything they could to whip up more riots.

"What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson?"

I'm glad I live where I do. (Far from Ferguson, in more ways than one.)

Curious why the Missouri National Guard wasn't stationed all over the city 10 deep before the verdict. Because the governor was worried that -- it would make the residents angry???

Protest stories abound as the media reports on
some 170 cities where events have been held:
A few examples........

130 people were arrested during Ferguson protests in downtown Los Angeles.

44 people were arrested in Chicago in a second, calmer night of protests.

The Atlanta police arrested 21 demonstrators and reported some vandalism.

Thousands of Minnesotans joined the outcry.

RE CNN:

Of course they are. It’s CNN. I’m surprised they didn’t send Christiane Amanpoure or whatever the hell her name is to “The War Zone” for “in-depth reporting” on the “Freedom Fighters demands” so she could have her breathless moment...

I feel bad for the normal people trying to make a living there who don’t buy into the idiotic crap being spewed by the racist agitators.

I think all the people protesting should be maced, cuffed or more, and the media personalities egging them on should be fired.

Period.

What kind of stupidity does it take for people to not like something, and decide to burn their neighborhood down? Yeah.... That’ll really help things! LOL

Of course, I’d bet money, most of the people doing the REAL destruction don’t live there, and are from far out of town. The people living there will be the ones paying the price as the mess is cleaned up, and will be unhappy as many of those businesses don’t rebuild/come back.
