Times Square Shut Down By Thousands Marching As Ferguson Protests Spin-Off Across The Country
Daily Mail ^ | 14 August 2014 | By Josh Gardner For Mailonline and Louise Boyle For Mailonline

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.

All manufactured.

Let’s see. Last time around black voters were depressed about the Zero economy and them being the biggest losers.

ZIMMERMAN! WHITE GUY SHOOTS ST. TRAYVON!

This is how they fire up the base. Every week there’s some killing they could pick. This one fit the bill.

Chirp, chirp, chirp. All I hear are crickets chirping. No words or cries for justice from these protestors, rioters and opportunists over unarmed blacks being murdered almost daily just north of Ferguson in Chicago...by other blacks. This is all ginned up as a racial issue, when in fact it is a violence in the black community and the country as a whole issue.

Until the facts are determined in the shooting of this young black man in Ferguson, law-abiding people will wait for due process under the law to take place for justice to be carried out in the courts. Others think that rioting, burning, looting and more violence are the answers to finding justice. They are NOT THE ANSWERS. They are the CAUSE of what happened. Until this country starts talking about that problem, none of this will ever change, especially as long as we have the Obamas, Eric Holders, Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons and other race baiters of the world trying to stir up every incident and issue as racially motivated. They are their own worst enemies.

The answer is - we’ll find out, won’t we?

Hopefully, not. But that isn’t up to you or me.

I understand there’s a lot of animosity between blacks and Latinos.

I wonder how that’s going to play into it.....

"Hands up! Don't shoot!"

If he'd had his hands up, he wouldn't have gotten shot. Too bad his momma didn't give him that advice.

You can tell a REAL geezer by the way they complain about how people on welfare have “color TV.”

Ask a DemoRat: “Has ANYTHING gotten better since Obama was elected???” Iraq? Illegal immigration? Israel? Unemployment? Libya? Korea? Race relations? Russia? Obamacare? The Deficit?
What can they say except “Hmmm... uhhh... well you can get stoned in Seattle without getting arrested, and Adam and Steve can get married!”

“...the media will inadvertently enable others to coordinate rioting and also be encouraged.”

Oh, I pretty sure the media will know exactly what they're doing. The msm is loathe to let a good crisis go to waste, just like Rahm and the girls and boys in the Dem party.

They didn’t get what they wanted squeezing blood from Trayvon Martin’s event, so they are doubling down on this guy to make America the most racist nation on the Earth. International A.N.S.W.E.R. is most likely behind it all.

“”While I in no way can justify the rioting and looting and there’s plenty of conflicting reports of what happened in that shooting, they do have the point about police militarization.””

See post 31 and the accompanied Mike Brown crime scene video at the thread link. Ignore the audio and focus on the first half of the video.

This very well could have been a legitimate shoot.
