Wait for answers threatens fragile calm in Ferguson

The conflict in Ferguson, Mo., might have simmered for a time, but the heat is rising again as residents lose patience with the government’s response to the shooting death of Michael Brown.

The mobs of protesters that took over Ferguson streets in the nights after Officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, have dispersed, as has a police presence reinforced by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the National Guard. A St. Louis County grand jury is hearing evidence and will decide whether to indict Wilson on criminal charges in the shooting....

No one else in this society (besides illegal immigrants) gets to "demand" anything. Why do these people have that right? What if the majority started "demanding" things?

Protestors march in daylight. Rioters and looters use cover of darkness.

Hmmm. I heard that “they” are demanding a guilty verdict or else. Weird since no indictment has been handed down as far as I know. Shut down I-70? Say, is that a Mack truck or a Volvo bearing down on us?

What BS. The “wait for answers” isn’t threatening the calm. The racist mob is threatening the calm. And the calm is “fragile” because a bunch of cowardly PC leaders aren’t willing to use appropriate force to keep the calm.

Instant gratification is demanded by those who have never had to work for anything in their lives.

They don’t want justice, they want a lynch mob.

How “calm” do you think the primates are going to be when Wilson is found to be a righteous shooter? Prepare for the worst, announce the finding, and let’s get it over with. It’s coming one way or another.

I will be very surprised if the poor officer is found innocent of wrong doing. There is tremendous pressure for finding him guilty. Threats of a riot is certainly an effective tool against a degenerate society with its degenerate officials.

If the gj doesn’t indict, holder will make sure a federal court will.

Probably already has a judge picked.

I think the question is going to come down to “Who do you want rioting?” If a mob of feral primates can railroad a righteous cop in defiance of the evidence, then whites have a right to riot against political correctness that has spilled over into anarchy. If justice is done, the Victim Industrial Complex will shift into high gear and try to extort more gimme’s out of us. And I think there are a lot of white fokes who are fed up with being shaken down.

Every white person in the area needs to get out and let the darwin losers drown in their own drool.
