National Guard Ordered Onto Streets of Ferguson, Missouri
NBC ^

Posted on 08/18/2014 12:17:02 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Missouri's governor ordered the National Guard onto the streets of Ferguson early Monday after another night of violence following the shooting by police of an unarmed black teen. "Tonight, a day of hope, prayers, and peaceful protests was marred by the violent criminal acts of an organized and growing number of individuals, many from outside the community and state, whose actions are putting the residents and businesses of Ferguson at risk," Gov. Jay Nixon said in a statement. "Given these deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent attacks on lives and property in Ferguson, I am directing the highly capable men and women of the Missouri National Guard to assist Colonel Ron Replogle and the Unified Command in restoring peace and order to this community.”

I’m hoping these riots spread to every State that has a Senate election in November. The Democrats will be Shiiteing bricks.

I think they might want that. It could introduce a lot of chaos and confusion into the voting process, and that would facilitate fraudulent voting.

This is the job for police. This is why the police were militarized. It they’re impotent, fire the entire management chain.

Rather, you will see come this November a CONSERVATIVE takeover of the Senate. The incidents in Ferguson tip the scale towards having a law and order spate of USA Senate elections.

In terms of D and R I don’t think the anarchy and violence on the streets of Ferguson is in the best interests of the Democrats prospects nationwide.

Unless, of course, if you are like the dems and want to see such unrest that martial law is declared.

You will see Democrats and Indies crossing the voting line and voting for conservative GOPers, who will be law and order oriented.

Rather you will see the NG put the troublemakers in their place.

They will be “well prepared”, and fully ready, mark my words.

Didn't say it would. It's what Obama and his regime are pushing for, though. They want complete control over society.

I wouldn't discount their ability to manufacture fraudulent ballots and find a judge who will allow them because of "extraordinary circumstances", not letting a perfectly good crisis go to waste.

I do speak with CONFIDENCE though that I will be spot on. Count on strict monitoring in that area to protect against voter fraud.

Just thinking... I wonder if Holder ordered Nixon to put out the NG?

Underdiscussed: police are being portrayed, by their own actions, as laughably impotent. All that tough paraphanelia does nothing. This is so encouraging the criminal element to distain police more than ever.

I was wondering how the Dems and media were going to spin last night. And there it is. The mayhem is being caused by “outsiders.” Not the peaceful Ferguson protesters. Imagine the media reaction if the tea party were the ones burning, smashing, and looting an entire community during their protests.

"I'd like to see a lot of Liberals get mugged over the next few months."

The only non-African-American people who are not armed and wearing body armor who are going to step into that mess over the next few months are reporters -- who are about 97.5% liberal. I think you might get your wish.

In 1966 or 1967, it wouldn't have taken a week to call out the National Guard. Maybe a day.

I wish I had your confidence. Dems control those areas, and I've given up believing there a bottom to that barrel.
