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.

Obama is playing the US public like a cracked violin.

Each time these blacks spread out and attack more police, then the Republicans will be voted in en-masse and then Obama will be neutralized with the full backing of the majority of the country.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Unless Obama exploits every racial crisis so he can declare martial law ( the Insurrection Act) and cancel the 2016 election.Its all planned my FRiend. Watch it and weep.Obama has no intention of relinquishing his power.

I think the Obama operatives have thought of that and they are not going allow a defeat at the ballot box. Millions of illegal aliens are going to vote and states are going to be prevented from checking IDs and determining legal status to vote.

All this is coming straight from Rat Party Headquarters. The Senate is at stake after all!

...there have been protests planned across the country via Twitter

Community organizing just went national. People will get hurt, property will get damaged or stolen. Who cares about the little people? Not the Dem party? Those ghetto mongers are just cannon fodder for power.

If Obama can’t stuff the ballot boxes, then he will cancel the election by declaring martial law ( Insurrection Act)and cancelling the election because “minorities “are prevented from voting due to violence, or some such excuse. The UN elections commission will assist Obama in this.

“Without those suburbs, the northeast would collapse worse than Detroit.”

Unfortunately, the suburbs themselves are being ruined by job losses coupled with high taxes. Here in NJ, Trenton has run out of money to re-distribute to the cities, and everything is deteriorating. When Newark NJ laid off 160+ cops a few years ago at a time of record shootings, the writing was on the wall: There was no state aid left to save those jobs.

Depressing to watch; “For Sale” signs in front of many homes, and many businesses shuttered up.

Riiigghhttt.
You do know this has nothing to do with cops shooting a black guy right?

This is about the Dems playing this up to get their base out to vote in the upcoming elections.

The cops are being used by the black panthers, Sharpton, the left , the socialist, communists, the cop haters, and the Dems as an excuse.

I’m not even American and I don’t view what Lincoln did as great or anything. He ruined a great Republic. He went for central control.

The union army “liberated” a lot of blacks to then force them into service. That’s why so many were trying to escape into Canada.

As for these riots...it has to start to sometime, and if it has to happen, let it happen sooner than later, so we can have a chance to right the ship. Everyone knows trouble is coming, and I’m one who hates waiting for it.

WHAT? No looting in the Big Apple? Things are slipping.

Is that satire or were there REALLY “thousands marching” in Time Square? Perhaps to be more precise, these “marchers” were commuters getting off work around 5:00 PM? We all know the media has a way with words, its called "distortion".

I agree that peacefully demonstrating against militarization of police may not be a bad thing if it can change behaviors. Blacks are not the only victims of a warrior culture by some that needs reigned in. My belief in this has changed over recent years. I do not want to live in a country where citizens are seen as the enemy.

I think white neighborhoods, specifically suburbia are about to be targeted.


As fred reed said, if they ever leave their neighborhoods and go for suburbia, they may be shocked at just how many handguns, shotguns and hunting rifles are stored in closets and drawers there. And when you attack someone’s home and family, they suddently take a bit more agressive stance.

For them, this would be a bridge too far.
