Ferguson protestor Cat Daniels, along with a number of others, have caused quite a controversy following their recent statements during an interview with USA Today. The 53-year-old financial consultant has openly shared her disapproval of her generation’s impact on their children’s lives. Unfortunately, she feels her generation has failed, and the series of events that have ensued following the highly publicized death of Michael Brown has only made her perspective more evident.
Daniels, affectionately known as Mama Cat to younger protestors, feels that little progress has been made since the civil rights era, which is why the fight for justice continues today. “This is 2014, and we are still confronting the problems that our mothers and fathers confronted back in the civil rights era,” said Daniels. “My generation came along, and we fed off what they did. We didn’t fight and keep the fight going. Now, because we didn’t keep the fight, our children have to fight.”
Another avid protestor named Jay Daniels also shared his perception of the message America sends about the importance of African American lives when officers like Darren Wilson are not indicted. Now, as a result of the grand jury’s decision, many are fighting back with a vengeance, which could unfortunately lead to the death of many. Potential martyrs in this defining moment are open to leading the new civil rights movement and reportedly aren’t worried about the possibility of fatal consequences.
“Some people are going to have to die for the cause. It’s sad to say, but this is the new civil rights movement for our generation, and there will be casualties and there should be bloodshed.”
However, arguably many readers have a different perspective of Brown’s death as a “defining moment.” Although Brown was an unarmed, African-American teenager killed by a white police officer, many are viewing the fight for equality as the support of a “thug” who robbed a convenient store. Many readers have stated justice “would have been served” if the store owner had killed Brown instead of Wilson — an officer allegedly just “doing his job.” Others see the Ferguson protestors as agitators, inciting riots and havoc, instead of individuals partaking in a civil rights movement for justice.
Here’s what some readers had to say:
“Justice would have been served if the shopkeeper Brown robbed and assaulted had pulled a pistol and shot the 6’4 drugged-out 300lb thug Brown dead on the store video… that would be justice… and save an innocent policeman trying to do his duty from being assaulted, beaten, having his career and life destroyed… and saved all the innocent Ferguson store owners from having their property looted and burned by mindless, violent, lawless criminal Democrats… It’s all about skin color, when racists call a ‘child’ a 6’4 300 pound thug who robs and assaults an innocent little shopkeeper, then attacks, assaults, punches, grabs for the gun of a Cop..Brown was armed… with aggression, hatred, bad attitude, and a 300 pound body..”
“Starting a civil rights movement by supporting a thug criminal like Brown? Yeah that makes sense…NOT. Here’s a movement for you – try to not commit crimes, push around shopkeepers, and attack cops,” wrote Brett Guyer via USA Today.
“The ones who deserve to die are the communist/anarchist agitators. As they should, thanks to our second amendment given to us to fight this terrorism and tyranny,” another reader wrote.
Do you think Michael Brown’s death is a defining moment in civil rights? Share your thoughts.
They want to die, I’m all for it.
I just don’t plan to go out with them.
The Obamaite community organizers are the bane of America.
They cover their faces. Too afraid to show their faces in the name of justice. I won’t be too afraid to show mine when/if they come through my neighborhood. Meow?
be ready
Yep, there are no other alternatives. /s

They got their wish. A young white Serbian man in his car with his wife at his side had his head smashed in with hammers because of all the race baiting.
What happened to laws forbidding wearing masks in public? Were they struck dow by SCOTUS? If not, why are they not being enforced? TAKE THOSE MASKS OFF, YOU COWARDLY ANARCHIST PUNKS!!!
They are going to rue the day that they opened up this particular box of Pandora’s.
Because once they open it - shutting it is going to take more than any person alive can imagine.

Well, at least there’s another reader out there that has read the accounts of the Commie/Anarchists stirring up the easily stirred up in Ferguson. Also the “Palestinians”. What in the ‘H’ have any of them to do with the shooting incident? NOTHING, but for some reason they managed to turn the incident into a rally against jews.
Well, alrighty then, what's your problem? Brown, that's one down. Next...
Cowards!! If I have something to say, I don’t cover my face, especially if I’m adamant about it. Yep, bank robbers, thieves and cowards cover their faces.
The reason things are more desperate now is that the population of the earth has tripled since the civil rights era. Resources are more and more scarce, and we are struggling to keep up.
It has nothing to do with a change in whites’ attitude toward blacks, which has improved greatly, not gotten worse.
Look at the big picture. It’s not about cops and teenagers.
They want to live like downtown Mogadishu? Fence it it and let them fight it out themselves.
You have bought into the television version that the leftists push.
Look at the REAL big picture. And how peak oil didn't happen. Or a Malthusian catastrophe with food production.
The entire population of the world could be squeezed into France, and the population density would be less than Mexico City.
Do the math. The real math, with the real numbers, and don't rely on TV to do your thinking.

We’re in a bad place: the Zenith of zero’s Community Agitating, and the Nadir of Republican leadership.
Jarrett has arranged this: the schism, or rather fault-line where it all breaks apart if we let it.
The GOPeSTAB gave the signal to blast today, as did zero in meeting with the Ferguson Thugs.
Don’t take either’s bait, let their momentum pass, fade and die.
Gonna be a lot of shenanigans between today and the new Congress.
Unfortunately genuine civil rights concerns have been lost in the noise of the the Big Lie. Law-abiding citizens will only tolerate so much, especially when law enforcement has been crippled.
These people are mental cases.
If you attack a cop and try to take his gun - if you attack ANYONE and try to take their gun - there is a very good chance you will be shot.
All their rioting has nothing whatsoever to do with Michael Brown dying during his attack on a cop. They know it, we all know it. This “hands up” mentality is not based in reality, it’s based on Dorian Johnson’s lies.
The time is coming when they will have to have some sense beaten into them - your threats, your arson, your looting, is unacceptable.
There have already been bloodshed. The guy the ,In the words of the media. “teens” beat to death with hammers. If the whites wish to continue to allow the Black thugs to slaughter them with impunity, I say to the Blacks, have at it.
No, if they wanted to die, they would go to some redneck one horse town and start doing the same things they did at Ferguson and elsewhere. The rednecks would make short work of them. No, they pick and choose where they know that they can get away with the crap they pull.

Maybe the ‘reason’ they aren’t calling it a ‘hate crime’ is because she was unscathed.
Of course, had she been raped, brutalized then beaten to death with a hammer, it would have been COMPLETELY swept into the gutter.
If these TV stations and radio outlets and press would GO HOME, I am sure this BS would end in a day or two.
In an ‘on scene’ interview one of the protesters(??) declared ‘we will come out here as long as needed’.
Bet your Bippie by the time ‘they’ figure the cameras and public quit ‘caring’, they will go home...
Kind of like CNN’s old coverage of ‘riots’ in mid east cities against the “USofA” where they would show the riot police, protestors, stone throwers etc and declare the ‘whole country’ was up in arms and go 3 blocks from the Embassy and the city was in ‘business as usual’.
Back in the early 60’s the ‘student protestors’ in Yokosuka Japan would gather at the main gate of the Naval Base and try to ‘disrupt’ day to day business.
The Base CO had his fill of it and said if traffic was going to continue to be blocked and people harassed coming and going, the ENTIRE TOWN would be placed Off Limits.
Funny how all of a sudden a ‘deal’ was worked out that the protestors were allowed to set up ‘camp’ at one of the 3 side by side gates at the main entrance.
The shipyard workers (Japanese) and bar owners etc in Yokosuka wanted ‘no part’ of any disruption to the business of relieving us young sailors of our money......
