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.

I think it may very well wind up getting us President Cruz.

The “Silent Majority” have had enough.

Just viewed some more of the videos from these riots.....as far as I’m concerned they’re simply doing what they usually do on a daily....it’s just that this time it’s a collective effort.

They don’t want solutions to their own issues.....they want excuses to do what they want without consequences.

I honestly don’t care anymore what their grievances are because they don’t or they wouldn’t have burned their community down and or would have stepped in to stop it.

I don’t want to hear the National guard didn’t step in....they were asked by the leaders of these protesters NOT TO let them on the streets nor near the protesters....those same leaders said they’d control their own....well now they see they can’t or won’t.

There’s obviously more of them who enjoyed these fires and the violence then those who didn’t. ...And they wonder then why more blacks are in prisons then others.

Help clean up!....Heck NO!...let them sit in their own mess and figure out how to fix it....might stretch their brains if they were given that “Opportunity”. But I believe they’d just sit it in without doing much more than make it livable.

I think the black vendetta has gone on long enough. I am tired of seeing authorities back down from their duty, letting them loot, burn, hurt and knock out innocent civilians; letting them break our laws with impunity.

I am tired of racial divides. We are Americans and as MLK stated, we should be judged by the content of our character.

Weak. Fueled by the media.

The jury was a mix of black and white. I heard on Fox that the decision was unanimous.

Here is a reference that generalizes coverage exclusions:

http://personalinsure.about.com/od/personalproperty/a/Property-Insurance-Policy-Coverage-Exclusions.htm

Note the section titled "Extrtemely Hazardous Events.

I would classify riots and insurrection as being different than vandalism. The distinction may lie in how the local governments classify the events i.e. disaster areas or martial law decrees.

It would be a good idea to familiarize yourself with any policies in the regard. You can bet that any gray areas would benefit the insurance companies.

Rational societies destroy rabid animals in their midst.

The Ømerikan electorate forfeited that claim in 2008.

The Fergidishu CF is a vivid reminder for the terminally naive and the kumbaya crowd.

Lock & load, whitey .. it ain't over yet, not by a long shot.

I said this on an earlier thread, and I think this is what Fergeson means for me:

**********************

I had this discussion with a local teen.

He had his IPod stolen from his locker.

He said “I guess it is ok, the kid was probably poor and needed it more than I did.”

I was all over him.

I said: what an arrogant insulting statement you have made. Assuming poor people are not moral people. Assuming that one cannot have integrity or honor in poverty.

You are so wrong, There are many many books about impoverished people acting with integrity. Learn your history so you will not say anything as insulting again.

Never mistake immorality for poverty.

All the rioters, looters, and arsonists had IQs under turnip level. In other words, typical Dem voters.

“What do y’all think about the riots in Ferguson? “

Time to divide America: CIVILIZATION vs SAVAGES.

Exactly. Not all of these protestors are bussed-in, bought-out professionals.

I’m with you; I really don’t care about their issues. If they want change, let them teach their women to keep their legs closed unless they’re married, and their men to show up as fathers and hold down decent jobs. If they aren’t willing, they should be made to live in the burned-out ruins they created.

What a disgrace!

I'm surprised they haven't blamed it on Bush!

Feral blacks perpetuating the age-old stereotype. They have set themselves back 50 years.
