No Indictment for Wilson

[Guest Judas Machabeus]

A lot of this race stuff is pretty foreign to me. I thought for the most part it was just the black community being a bunch of exaggerters. Until I was visiting Florida and while at a pool party a car went by playing music that someone would stereotype as black music and someone had made a comment. Not having any idea what the comment made meant I asked how they would know such a thing without being able to see the car. a few people laughed that kind of laugh that you give a child that doesn't understand what you just said as you pat them on the head. So needless to say my eyes were opened. But what is happening in Ferguson is only going to add fuel to the fire. It's going to give the haters the justification ( in their mind ) to keep hating which is going to create more resentment and tension.

I don't get it.

What's happening in Ferguson has nothing to do with race or racial tension.   The protesters promised to loot and pillage no matter what the outcome would be.  Even if they got the justice they claimed to stand for, they were going to protest anyway.   So there was nothing that was going to change their minds or their behavior or plans.  This was about looting and an excuse to steal everyone else's stuff.   This is not about civil rights.   They have violated the civil rights of so many people, property and business owners in Ferguson, one guy at least has been murdered apparently.   This is not about race.  It is glaring and ugly picture of the self-destructive culture that exists in the African-American community and it is showing itself in all its vainglory.

I don't think we can blame Brown.  it's the protesters that are ruining lives.

 

Ok poor wording. I meant how many lives ruined because of his one action.

...  I have only been a part of these forums for a short time but it appear that race baiting both flagrant and dressed in thinly veiled derivative concerns seem to go unchecked here.

there are protests going on nationwide, i'm sure. tonight there is one going on in dallas. i am in absolute disagreement with them, of course, for obvious reasons. however, every one of the protesters are remaining peaceful and dignified. the rioters in ferguson should take lessons on the difference between being classy and being thuggish.

30 Cities at least, some with thousands. TImes Square got shut down. Lincoln TUnnel was as well. 101 freeway in LA. Oakland, Portland, Chicago, other cities also had big protests. 

 

This is not going to peter out so soon. It may ebb and flow, but things are going to keep on going in St Louis for sure for some time to come.

The police and national guard need to shut down these protests.  Governor Nixon needs to make the hard decision to eject the protesters from Ferguson and environs.  They are destroying the city.  The protesters are not even from Ferguson.
