The apathy of this board towards the Mike Brown shooting in Ferguson is commendable.

So according to you living in a not so well reputed place/ below average neighborhood makes someone more respectable? Highly unlikely. It is very it is easy to do the math that all these rioters and looters are at least 80% Obama voters and welfare cases for sure. Race baiting brings nothing positive as much as looting and adopting the thug behavior. Discipline is discipline and the law is the law, if you put an end to two these values then it is anarchy.

Your ignorance is boundless, apparently, since you aren't even astute enough to comprehend what I was conveying with my post. For the benefit of those who might be as dense as you are, let me try again.

I lived there when I was a kid back in the 1960s....way before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye, Georgie. The demographics in Ferguson were quite different back then but began to rapidly change as urban sprawl in west St. Louis County led to some serious white-flight and the area became predominantly black. Even back in the '60s, however, Ferguson was a tough, blue-collar, lower middle-class and predominantly white neighborhood that saw more than its share of trouble. Still, there are plenty of good and decent people who live there to this day and the looting and rioting is being committed by a vociferous few, some of which may not even be local residents. They should be identified and dealt with accordingly without making broad judgments about the entire community. Conversely, an overreaction by skittish police who needlessly teargas peaceful demonstrators does nothing to defuse the situation. If the cops treated the peaceful protestors as protectors and peacekeepers rather than like someWaffen SS battalion the situation might not be so volatile and cooler heads might prevail on both sides. Again, St. Louis is and always has been a tense city from a racial standpoint and overreactions by either those who protest or act as police only serve to exacerbate the situation...that's what I meant. ¿Entiende usted?

You don't even need controversy to find rioting and looting. Just let your city win a sports championship.

Or lose one. What is it about either one of those scenarios that makes some people want to burn cars and throw rocks through windows?? :dunno:

Dammit, Jagger, quit bringing relevant historical perspective to a politcal thread!!!!!! That kind of typing leads to actual thinking and realizing there is no cookie-cutter solution to the probem. Damn you, Jagger. Damn you to hell.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Better put the needle in him before anything could come in to exonerate him. Hurry up! We need to balance the slate today! We're here looking for justice, after all! All sales final.

Seems to me, justice is the LAST thing they want. Vengeance is more like it, and no matter what ANYONE finds in the way of facts, they'll never be happy, because this isn't about a crime, or a bad cop, it's about race.

If he did wrong, he should go to prison, or receive the death penalty, and if the cop acted appropriately, the family of the guy killed should have to pay for EVERY single bit of damage, and all of the cost for all of the civil service that was needed.

Coming from you, feller, that really means a lot to me. :hatsoff:

Your post made total sense until the part about the family of the young man who was killed being held responsible for the damage. Why would that be justified? The family has repeatedly called for calm in the aftermath of the shooting. :dunno:

Well, I don't think the tax payers should pay for it, if the cop is innocent. Just because they're publicly calling for calm, doesn't mean they aren't `enjoying the show. I know that's a little cold, but, lets face it, in situations like this, it always seems attention whorism, reigns supreme. Plus I'm feeling a little annoyed by all of this crap...I can see this becoming a lynching as retribution for the Trevon Martin bullshit.

I see multiple interviews from Ferguson residents to their mayor saying they don't have a "Race problem". If what you're saying is true, are they truly that blind to the situation, or is it being overblown by this incident?

It is sad that people want to take action before getting all the facts. Both sides are taking ironically counter-intuitive actions: The rioting to protest the shooting of a robber, and an army like police presence amid police overreaction. Even more ironic that the store that Brown robbed was also rioted... and now has a boarded up window spray-painted with "Thank you for your support".

Why would they arrest him for doing his job?

Because of his actions, the city Ferguson is falling apart and affecting the entire country in a bad way.

What charge are you filing? Tugging on heartstrings is not a producing of evidence.

 

[Jagger69]

Those aren't grounds for charges to be filed against him. We will have to wait until the investigation is complete before any preliminary judgments can be drawn about either Michael Brown or Darren Wilson.

The City of Ferguson is falling apart because 80% of its residents are retarded, not because a cop did his job right.

Anything of value just secure in the library. That's the only place in town that doesn't need bars on the windows. Be more dominating and humiliating than prison if they were trapped inside and accosted by the librarian.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Scold us all you want. I was favoriting, sharing, and discussing shit on FB and Twitter. All I can really do is bitch about and counter a lot of the shit that the media and the police were/are saying.

I didn't like anything terrible. I was just agreeing with what some people on there were saying.

The Ferguson cas is just among many and it's time for people to rise, and speak-up and refuse to live in a police state...

I'm surprise that officer Darren Wilson haven't been arrest yet which could ease the tension going in Ferguson a bit.

Police state

Because of his actions, the city Ferguson is falling apart and affecting the entire country in a bad way.

Idiots. Every fucking one of you. My information was correct from the get go and still you insisted on race hustling and patronizing. Brown got exactly what he deserved and the mob couldn't accept it.

 

[xfire]

That's like shooting the neighbors cat because his dog shit in your yard. George Zimmerman has done nothing but prove what a feeble piece of shit he is since he was acquitted, this cop was just doing his job. If anyone in Ferguson thinks they're getting retribution for Trayvon Martin then they're even dumber than they already appear.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Well of course Zim's life turned to dogshit. His every waking hour was filled with over zealous race baiting scumbags and biased media excoriating him without the benefit of knowing what the fuck they were talking about. Spike Lee-type assholes published his alleged home address and that shit stressed him out probably as much as the trial that no prosecutor actually wanted to bring forth because they knew they didn't have a case. So, yeah, he was probably predestined to do some really stupid things afterward. I'd like to see any of his critics go through that same kind of ordeal without some traumatic stress.

If you can't have a 100% intelligent discussion without any emotions, why did you even start this thread in the first place?

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

To root out scumbag cop-hating douche bags who get their news from Huffington Post, fb and twitter. And to troll them mercilessly.

There's no parallel between the two incidents other than the black/white angle. I don't believe that this is retribution for the Trayvon Martin incident....it's a whole new entity all on its own. Anyone who doesn't have a direct emotional connection to the Michael Brown shooting should reserve their judgment until all the facts are in. I'm not taking a position on this until a source more credible and universal than the Gateway Pundit is reporting the Officer Williams version of the story as fact (so far, that hasn't happened). If it is a fact, everyone needs to simply shut the fuck up and go home. If not, well, let's see what happens. Again, I would hope that cooler heads would prevail on both sides of the equation but I suppose that is too much to ask for.

On a side note, the other shooting that took place in North St. Louis today is irrelevant to the Ferguson situation other than it might prove to be an incendiary component to the Michael Brown shooting. I hope it doesn't but fear that it will. Racial incidents suck if for no other reason than it proves how far we still have to go to live up to the tenets of our constitution.

I'm sure he was and continues to be under a great deal of stress, that doesn't excuse the stupid shit he's done since his acquittal. You know you're a fuck up when you can't behave as well as Casey Anthony, to her credit she hasn't had any run ins with the law since her acquittal.
