Doesn’t that go against Double-Jeopardy? Why should the feds trump state law?

No, because they are charged with a different crime at the federal level, usually ''depriving someone of their civil rights''.

“How do you conquer a population of sheep? You remove the rams.”

You’ve got a funny idea of who the Rams are in our society.

I wouldn’t advise anyone to come boiling out of anywhere and charge at my home.

Remember, that to the majority of the population (the sheep), the thin blue line is the only thing protecting them.

Black criminals are endowed with the right to do any damned thing they please to a police officer. The police officer’s duty it to be severely injured or to die or he violated the black criminals right to attack him.

This would eliminate police everywhere. Who would take on the job knowing if they defend themselves against blacks, their lives are ruined?

They also want it to be the same way with CCW holders or any whites defending themselves against black ferals and criminals, ala George Zimmerman. The object is to intimidate all whites into submission so blacks can safely get their payback for centuries of slavery and oppression and race hustlers like Sharpton get their bank accounts fattened by guilt ridden payoffs.

LOFL at Hutchinson!

"Brown as was King was unarmed. Brown and King were not charged with a crime when detained. Brown as King received injuries after he ceased resisting. Brown as King was abused during an official stop. These, as they were with King, are compelling civil rights violations," he wrote.

-Brown as was King was unarmed. Yes (the only thing known as fact)
-Brown and King were not charged with a crime when detained. Ha! Hard to charge Brown when he was already DEAD!
-Brown as King received injuries after he ceased resisting. Bull! He was running at Officer Wilson--in order to take him out, and maybe even take Wilson's weapon and kill him with it. Autopsy of bullet wounds prove it was frontal. No proof whatsoever of this claim and the Grand Jury heard it and rejected it. Credible witnesses said he ran at Wilson, and any charge without taking THAT fact into consideration would simply be wasting a jury's time. Hutchinson, you dope, do you think Wilson's defense would not skewer the prosecution on this point?
-Brown as King was abused during an official stop. What? How? Walking down the middle of the street like a punk and told to get off the road is abuse? (Right after he strong-armed robbed a convenience store?) If a cop saw anyone of us doing that he would tell us to get out of the road, too. Again, in a fair trial, the defense would bring this up, and the state would have the tough job of proving otherwise. In fact, they couldn't. Face it, Hutchinson, despite the facts, you just want to get revenge, based on bogus evidence and bull. You wasting you reputation on an event caused by Brown himself.

So heroin can be over the counter, but not oxycodone?

Thanks; since that day I have always defended juries’ decisions because we have to separate the facts presented to juries and the filtered news broadcast to the masses.

Seeing black NFL players running onto the field with their hands up was the epitome of misguided ignorance; Michael Brown, according to BLACK witnesses, didn’t raise his hands. All of these young black malcontents spouting “hands up, don’t shoot” are simply repeating a rumor that turned out to be a lie.

At the least, their ability to get close to the facts should be respected. If they make a mistake, it is in less ignorance.

Well put. Also, I have no respect for people who vigorously fight jury duty summons (which understandably are an inconvenience) then later decry jury decisions.

And what does that say about all the white hipsters doing it, too?

And it doesn't matter a crap if it's a lie or not - the masses have received The Word, and The Word shall be spread to every corner of the land.

For he that speaks against The Word is obviously racis'...

The Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI, and US attorney's office should examine why so many young black men are criminals, thugs, and total losers.

AND they need to look at why black culture is the only culture in the world where criminals are defended and supported as being part of 'the community' ...

(Hint: White people are NOT the problem in black communities...)

If white people were the problem (with blacks being criminal lowlifes) - Detroit would have been a CRIME FREE ZONES years ago. Same with every other 97% 'black community'... Some of these black thugs haven't spent 5 minutes a year talking to a white person outside of 'how much is that - and yeah, I'll take frys with that) So please - someone tell black people we might pretend we understand to avoid an argument - but blaming whites in 2014 for criminal blacks is silly.

The whites that are involved seem to be those forced to be in close contact with black populations, trying to maintain some semblance of peace by pretending to care. When I see NYU students playing politics with black malcontents, I see little more than hostages in enemy territory.

I suspect the Eric Garner case might fit here. Anything more would lead to chaos.

Or willing collaborators.

Certainly some are collaborators, but they have no misconceptions about the physical dangers posed to them by young black males.

Au contraire, they are utterly clueless as to the dangers.

They have been indoctrinated to think that by embracing black “culture” and a Demorcat voting record, they are insulated from black rage.

As if showing up at a protest happening wearing 2012 tees, sagging pants and saying “yo brah, I be down wif da struggle” is going to save them.

I’ll be on the porch with popcorn and beer watching the follies.

Those students have been set upon by thugs for decades; if they didn’t know the dangers they’d be dropping like flies.

there is a lot more coming....Andrew breitbart and I realized that “cultural Marxism” was the movement to squelch anti leftism at the universities and NOW in middle schools and top prep schools...Andrew started organizing the college kids that wanted to be successful ...when he died with a red face that’s not the symptom of someone who had a heart attack
