The fifth night of demonstrations in support of gunned down Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown saw scores of protesters marching through the streets of New York in a vigil that culminated in Times Square Thursday night.

Tensions flared as some protestors attempted to shove their way through a police barricade set up in their path toward the beating heart of the city.

Police held their own and tempers soon calmed, but as night gripped New York, the already congested Times Square ground to a halt as thousands flowed into the streets to demand an end to police brutality and militarization and justice for 18-year-old Brown.

Come hell or high water, they are going to have their riots. No big screen TV in any appliance store is safe.

how many years ago was it when this went on with the chant of “burn, baby burn” or something like that. This is the minor league of the world-wide anarchy movement.

I hope there is a riot; then all the liberals can get a dose of fear that normal people live with on a regular basis. I can only suppose that once the hipsters start getting beaten at the hands of the thugs they think of as their ‘bros,’ their attitudes will change. Irony is, that once things start getting out of hand, the hippies will start begging the police to help them out once the thugs start moving into the posh areas of their neighborhoods.

If there are riots and the country flares up over this, a Republican Congress will be elected in to sort all this out (as they always do after the Rats make a mess of things) and then order will be responded, with the spoiled brats mouthing off about evil Republicans.

Which means that victims, like the spoiled hipsters, won’t be getting help from the very police that they condemn.

Dear Leader of NY will be hiding in his police guarded mansion while he tweets support of the rioters. Or in fact, he’ll be leaving the country with his family to a secluded area, likely a heavily guarded island, where he will tweet support for the rioters while his guards seethe.

And this is the reason Lincoln has 5 tons of concrete and a steel cage at rest.

Thousands of unarmed blacks killed by other blacks - crickets.
One unarmed black killed by a (presumably white) cop and there's hell to pay.

The rioters; his wife is of course encouraging this and I think her son will be out there getting his fair share of ‘fun’ in.
