Than you've no sense of moral equivalence.
Nah I just believe in the law.

if defies logic and isn't reasonable.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?
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.

First, what they hell are you saying?
Second, could you fit another adverb in there? Jesus H...
BREAKING:Fox News Hosts Panel On "Race In America" Composed Exclusively of White People.

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.
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.
His father was saying "May it fall on your house tenfold" just like you said.
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.
So the point was that it took longer than 5 minutes. Like I said.
if defies logic and isn't reasonable.
Nah I just believe in the law.
So you believe he needs to be jailed for inciting a riot, correct?
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.
Absolutely. 100%.
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.

First I heard of it. Did you start a thread?
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.
Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you. However, the outrage here from many people appears to be quite selective.
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.
