5th Night of Protests Planned in Brooklyn for Kimani Gray

Demonstrators planned to protest in Brooklyn for a fifth night Friday against the fatal police shooting of a teenage boy, who officers claim had a gun when he was killed.

No major clashes were reported on the fourth night of demonstrations Thursday in East Flatbush, after protests earlier in the week resulted in arrests, looting and minor scuffles with officers.

Carol Gray spoke publicly for the first time Thursday, choking up as she talked about her son, Kimani Gray, who was killed Saturday in a confrontation with police. Police have said the boy had a gun, but his supporters dispute that.

"He's my baby, and he was slaughtered, and I want to know why," she said.

This is awfully unchristian of me, but I hope they burn down that rat’s nest of a city.

The revolution has to start somewhere.

It sounds like the people are starting to lose interest.

“He’s my baby, and he was slaughtered, and I want to know why,” she said.”

Because he had a gun you brain dead twit. I would no more believe one word of his friends or witnesses than I believe anything that comes out of PPOSs pie hole.

It’s Friday night, just more of an excuse for obamas’ kin to pillage, vandalize and rob.

Are you KIDDING? Do you realize the HUNDREDS of dollars in damages that would cause?

Oh, don’t be so culturally insensitive.
This is how people of this culture “hold a vigil”.

>>>”He’s my baby, and he was slaughtered, and I want to know why,” she said.<<<

I’ll answer you, Mom:

Your “baby” was a criminal and gang member who pointed a loaded weapon at two police officers, who were forced to shoot him to protect themselves and others.

Are there any more questions or can we move on?

Isn’t it interesting that the only time they come out to riot is when the cops shoot somebody. You never see them rioting when a thug with a gun shoots someone.

Perhaps we should just outlaw Black people from owning guns?

The gun murder rate would drop by 50%.

And there would be no reason to riot (oops, sorry, I mean “demonstrate”) in Brooklyn.

Of course, my theory assumes that gun control laws actually work.

Wonder if BO lent his “community agitator” expertise to these clowns? Maybe even his staple gun, so they can post agitation flyers around the “community.”

[Police released surveillance video of two of the convenience stores, where people are seen throwing fruit and stealing. In one, the cashier cowers in a corner as people loot the shop.]

These shootings always become a holiday for looters and arsonists. A common phenomenon is for the rioters to burn cars in their own neighborhood which makes little sense.

Just tell him they are all drinking 32oz Big Gulps. He'll be right there!

I miss the days when Bensonhurst was all Italian and things like this were taken care of by the neighborhood “association”

They do eventually. Almost the exact same thing happened in Detroit within 24 hours of this and aside from some complaints from the family there has been no real outrage.

One thing the media ignores: Gray thought those “civilians” didn’t have any guns there in NYC.
