Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60, 267]

Well get your personal bias out of the equation. If Brown was in the state of mind where he could commit a crime, is it a stretch to imagine that he would be in the state of mind to tell a cop to **** off and retaliate when the cop didn't respond by going away? Not in my mind.

Do you really believe that no one has ever told someone who was holding a gun that they are too much of a ***** to shoot me? Or is it just in this case?
if defies logic and isn't reasonable.
 
Hey F&L hope you are having a good day.
I don't see Ferguson being the end of these types of occurances because I believe they are created purposely by design. I went back and read President Johnson's speech in response to the Watts riots.
Here's a quote
"A rioter with a Molotov cocktail in his hands is not fighting for civil rights any more than a Klansman with a sheet on his back and a mask on his face. They are both more or less what the law declares them: lawbreakers, destroyers of constitutional rights and liberties, and ultimately destroyers of a free America. They must be exposed and they must be dealt with".
Now compare that to Obama's response last night.
"We need to accept that this decision was the grand jury's to make," Obama said Monday night. "There are Americans who agree with it, and there are Americans who are deeply upset, even angry. It's an understandable reaction. But I join Michael's parents in asking anyone who protests this decision to do so peacefully."
WTH?
Great commentary at American Thinker breaking down Obama's words and more to the point what he could have said.
Blog: What Obama said about the grand jury (and what he could have said)



The fact Obama even commented on a grand jury is alarming. Just as he appeared to have no faith in the Travor Martin jury, this city can hardly be blamed for having none either.

He was the one who waded in...he was the one self appointed to bring calm. he failed.

And yes, as a matter of fact I am having a wonderful day....dinner in with two lady neighbors while a Pineapple Express drops 15 to 25 inches of rain on us
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

First, what they hell are you saying?

Second, could you fit another adverb in there? Jesus H...

His father was saying "May it fall on your house tenfold" just like you said.
 
No, Disney said that a black person would be, "indicted in 5 minutes", meaning that a black person would get indicted a hell-of-a-lot faster than a white person. Tres proved him wrong.

So the point was that it took longer than 5 minutes. Like I said.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

I'm interpreting Rocket's post for him.

The mother, from the clip, did not seem to incite a riot. She became overwhelmed with grief and became silent after her complaints that they were wrong. The stepfather, on the other hand, absolutely did.

And the stepfather wanted to fight fire with fire. Exactly what Chez was saying

Whose house?

RUN'S HOOOOOOUUUUSE!!!!
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here

Absolutely it does. Whenever a cop is charged, rightly or wrongly, cops always rally around them. When was the last time other than in the movie "training day" did you hear about a cop turning a bad cop in? It rarely if ever happens.

Happens all the time.

Bad cops make good cops look bad, also, and they don't like it either.

There are still good cops who blindly support the bad apples - just like those who blindly support Brown while ignoring the fact that he was a thug.

The sword cuts both ways.

It took longer than Wilson's grand jury did. Like Tres said and very unlike Disney said.
 
Re: Ferguson LIVE announcement video feed links here [W:60]

These race pimps get their power from conflict, they dont have any incentive to resolve things, in fact its the opposite.
This is a way to use a false narrative to divide Americans, nothing less.


The CBC has been focused on this all day, a segment of almost every show is dedicated, perhaps because most of us cannot fathom it, there is zero understanding.

One of the political science/sociologist panels dealt with this matter precisely as we see it in an administrative form here. As with scientific research, poverty and race pimps get attention when the situation is most dire. We once had a federal minister responsible for race issues [wasn't called that] who, in order to trump up her importance made the statement "As we speak, crosses are burning in Prince George." It was of course a patent fabrication and she was exposed and after a reasonable amount of time was fired never to see the limelight again.

And then there is the other problem. Just as no one was surprised here, nor where those who's intent was to exploit the situation, from recruiters of poverty/race pimp organizations to looters to politicians, anyone whose interests will be served in a riot. Certainly any NGO whose membership rolls translate into donations have their tents set up there......

I'm wondering where all this self-righteous soapboxing about rioting and violence was last month when a bunch of unruly white people absolutely ransacked Keene, N.H.

Dude, what's the use of having white privilege if you never use it?

Wasn't made aware of it, but I am unequivocal about denouncing such behavior.

Not your example, but I have seen liberals point out sports fans causing mayhem. That behavior likewise I find repulsive and deserving of swift punishment. College students burning couches during spring break? Punish them. People blocking traffic? Move them to another location and tell them this is inappropriate.

Public disorder is public disorder to me.

First I heard of it. Did you start a thread?

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you. However, the outrage here from many people appears to be quite selective.

That's why I'm seen as an authoritarian instead of a sensible person to any given ideological group on the right circumstance.

College hippies annoy and disgust me as much as Bundy supporters.
 
This in no way addresses what you quoted.

All of which has already been addressed.

We know there were outside agitators as well as outside protestors.
Just as there was local agitators, protestors and looters.

I haven't disagreed with that. In fact the video is in agreement with that. The article I posted earlier that you had a problem with pointing out that most of those who were arrested in Ferguson the first time it went up in flames, overwhelming majority did not call Ferguson their home!!!!!!! And last night was no different.
Those arrested will face charges including arson, burglary, possession of stolen property, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful assembly, according to the county police department. Only nine of the arrestees were from Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb of about 21,000 people.

And yes that is significant whether you agree or not. These folks that did most of the damage don't call Ferguson home.
