Women hold the front-lines of Ferguson
MSNBC ^ | October 12, 2014 | Amanda Sakuma

FERGUSON, Missouri — For a time, little more than a few inches of space separated a delicate line between peace and chaos.

Protesters tested the limits to the invisible boundary Friday night, toeing dangerously close to the row of officers lined up to protect the police headquarters here. Warnings from law enforcement officials that they may soon begin arresting people were easily drown out by music and chants from the thickening crowd. Photographers readied their cameras, waiting for something to pop as demonstrators on the front lines stared down their opponents, leaving little room to breathe.

All except for Shermale Humphrey — she was facing the other way.

While the fallout of a teen’s death at the hands of a police officer focused heavily on the day-to-day injustices incurred by young black men, it’s the women who helped turn a string of protests into a movement, by seamlessly shifting between the roles of the peace-keepers, disrupters, organizers and leaders.

In Ferguson Friday night, Humphrey knew exactly what to do when she saw a young man — barely 15-years-old — struggling to contain the energy and anger building up inside him....

It seems the ACORN funded activists group has decided they must sacrifice a female on the altar.

Riot Makers.

This whole business is being carefully planned, fomented, and controlled by leftist agitators.

Anybody think Barack Hussein 0bama isn’t involved?

I bet these people are being controlled directly from the White Hut.

“She’s got an officer in SWAT gear inches from her, and she’s just says, ‘You know what? Ain’t nobody putting their hands on him,’”

It’s funny how that happens when you don’t shove, spit on, or verbally threaten police officers.

What a mess. I’m thankful there’s not been more violence than has already occurred, but I still fear things will turn very ugly if and when the Grand Jury finds Officer Wilson acted appropriately in the situation.

I hope I am wrong, of course. (About the violence, not the grand jury findings).

The USPS should do what they did during the Rodney King riots refuse to deliver mail, then these clowns would be having to stand in line all day at the welfare office.

Welfare and food stamp money has been transmitted to a debit card for many years. There are no checks.

The mama couldn’t decide if the baby was a she r male.

Fergason cops should walk off the job and let the chips fall where they may.

Shermale Humphrey? How do we know that’s a woman? That’s one “R” away from a Hermaphrodite.

They should wait for daytime high temperatures to drop at least another 10F before announcing the grand jury results. Preferably after the election.

Why bother to stop him? He either screws up now or later. He can’t see that he is insuring he has no future, no place with jobs close to where he lives. Probably thinks school is for “the man” or those who want to “act white”. The longer he behaves, as it were, the longer we will feed and house him.
Guess, I am just tired and getting more cynical as more this happens.

You can see in a number of the video reports that a bunch of white “occupy” types have joined in. Anarchists should help out with the race baiters and what must be very tired and angry police.

One of the most prolific live streamers, BellaEiko is from Occupy Oakland.

She also calls her friends that were arrested last night “comrades”.
