Congressional Black Caucus denounces Ferguson grand jury
The Politico ^ | November 24, 2014 | Kendall Breitman

Posted on 11/25/2014 12:37:16 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus on Monday called the grand jury decision not to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson a “slap in the face” for those seeking justice for the death of Michael Brown

“The Ferguson grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the death of Michael Brown is a miscarriage of justice,” CBC Chair Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) said in a statement released after the decision was announced late Monday evening in Missouri. “It is a slap in the face to Americans nationwide who continue to hope and believe that justice will prevail.”

“This decision seems to underscore an unwritten rule that Black lives hold no value; that you may kill Black men in this country without consequences or repercussions,” Fudge’s statement continued. “This is a frightening narrative for every parent and guardian of Black and brown children, and another setback for race relations in America.”(continued)

So you can be elected to the House of Representatives and still not know the first thing about civics, the rule of law, the constitution or the most basic functions of government?

You apparently need only an abundance of hubris. And a total dearth of intelligence and wisdom.

Justice was served on August 9 when the thug was put down, and again today with the decision of the grand jury vindicating the police officer. They don’t like, screw them and tell them not to raise their kids to be thugs...Pants Up, Don’t Loot.

...and another setback for race relations in America.

Who says so? Race relations can only be improved if both sides accept that justice is colorblind. Black people are not entitled to be excused from responsibility because of their skin color. The problem is that they have been allowed this excuse for so long that they have come to think of it a a special civil right.

Incredible response of elected officials. Does this group also vote en bloc?

One hundred years ago it was the KKK. Now it’s the CBC leading the lynch mobs. Only the skin colors have changed.

The party sure hasn't changed. The KKK, CBC and the neo-Nazis are all just facets of the socialist DemonRATs.

Especially if the ones doing most of the killing are black. The most dangerous person a black man faces today is another black man.

When Saddam Hussein was in jail after his first attempt at an overthrow, he spent his time studying Hitler.

Insofar as their actions constitute a breach of their sworn duty to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, i.e. abridge the rule of law and foment a lynch mob, these scofflaws need to be impeached and removed from office for cause.

No, the decision underscores the written rule that whites have a right to defend themselves from physical assault by violent black thugs.

If you really gave a damn about black lives, then you would thank Darren Wilson. Violent black thugs are more likely to kill blacks than they are to kill whites.

EVERY DAY about 20 black men are killed by their fellow blacks. It’s been over 100 days since MB was shot. Thats over 2000 dead. Why don’t THOSE lives matter? Where are the screams to prosecute and get “justice”?

It's best to ignore these people completely. If we even pretend to care about what they think, it will send the wrong message.

Who publishes this nonsense?
