Repugnant. Throwing Officer Wilson to the wolves so big mike’s parents can have justice.

The Show Me state just showed me the Gov is an appeasing moron.

I have read that what looked like Black Bloc agitators (possibly from Oakland) have been sighted in Ferguson. That is what media reports mean when they mention Communist agitators.

Philly for the most part was spared most of the riots, but still the destruction of west philly took place. it’s like dresden.

“It was worse in the sixties. This went on in many cities.”

You’re not kidding. I clearly remember the major ones but there were a lot of smaller ones as well. It all seemed to begin with the Harlem race riot of 1964. Here’s some numbers I culled off of wikipedia:

Harlem, July 1964, 6 days, 1 dead, 118 injured

Rochester NY, July 1964, 2 days, 1 dead, 350 injured, 204 stores damaged

Philadelphia, August 1964, 3 days, 341 injured, 225 stores damaged

Watts, CA. August 1965, 6 days, 34 dead, 1032 injured, $298 million dollars damage

Cleveland, ‘Hough Riot’, July 1966, 6 days, 4 dead, 30 critically injured, 240 fires

Benton Harbor MI, August 1966, 6 days

1967 featured 159 race riots across the U.S.

Newark NJ, July 1967, 6 days, 26 dead

Detroit, July 1967, 5 days, 43 dead, 1,189 injured, 2,000 buildings destroyed. This riot set in motion the demise of Detroit as a major American city.

Orangeburg SC, February 1968, 3 dead 28 injured

April 1968, Martin Luther King is assassinated, up to 10 days of rioting breaks out in:

Detroit, Washington DC, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Wilmington DE

There were more but these are enough to give you a flavor of what was going on. And of course we also had anti-war riots in addition to all of this.

"So I ask that we continue to stand together as we work to achieve justice for Michael Brown, restore hope and peace to the streets of Ferguson, and march together toward a future of greater opportunity and understanding for all of us,” Nixon said.

Well. Let's all join hands for a hopey-peacey march to "achieve" justice by a lynch mob.

'Way to go, Gov. With a little luck and a fair wind, you could wind up in the white hut, where all community organizers go.

This filthy lifetime Rat was Attorney General of Missouri from 1993 until 2009.

He knows exactly what he has done. He just sealed the Officer’s fate.

It is unethical to support a criminal prosecution for political reasons. Except in North Carolina. And Florida. And now, Missouri.

Nixon was an Eagle Scout. He attended law school locally, and, immediately after law school, ran for office, where he’s been since 1988 in various positions.

His father was a politician.

He has done nothing else.

Has no life experience.

He is not doing well with this situation, to say the very...No, he is messing this up very badly in a way that only a bo lackey democrat can get away with.

SERIOUSLY? I had to check, recheck and check again to see if this was a post from The Onion, the People's Cube or some such satire site. Something this over-the-top I would expect from Obama - but he doesn't have to bother when there are sniveling cowards like Nixon at the ready.
