FERGUSON, Mo. — Illai Kenney, a telecommunications student in Washington, found herself mesmerized by the constant stream of images flooding into her Twitter feed of protests underway in the small town of Ferguson, half a continent away.
Pictures of women whose eyes were swollen from tear gas. A mother’s anguished weeping. Hundreds of citizens marching through the streets, their hands held aloft in defiance of a police force that had killed an unarmed young black man. She knew one thing: She had to be there.
Kenney quickly packed a bag, got in a car with friends and drove 1,300 miles west along Interstate 70 to Ferguson.
“This is a movement. To see why these people — my people — were marching on the streets was just too much for me to just watch,” said Kenney, 25, who is black....

Riot PILGRIMAGE, huh. A black Hajj.
Oooookaaaaay.
I am really tired of the BS. He was a thug. He deserved to be put down like a dog.

They’re hoping to sell postcards of the Wilson hanging.
The black Rachel Corrie?
Yes it does, but isn't it a bit ironic, that they had to pay money for the transportation to get to Missouri, just to get some free stuff?
The Communists’ goals and methods are rulsing the U.S. like never before. Obama is their man, groomed for the job of supporting and letting loose Islamic jihad and race upon race chaos in the world. Obama’s advisors in the very White House, and Hillary’s main advisor, Huma Abedin are Muslim Brotherhood leaders. The American people and the rest of the world need to awaken from their lethargy.
I’m glad all these people can just get in their car drive to Ferguson to watch people chant to kill people and throw things at police. I’m so glad they have no responsibilities and someone else is paying to support them.
“They’re hoping to sell postcards of the Wilson hanging.”
I’ve had the same thought.
Many people wouldn’t know the historical reference.
Join the Ferguson rebellion! Thanks Maxine Waters....the sub-moron who called the 1992 LA riots (burn that muva down!) a rebellion. Like a slave rebellion. If anything, blacks are slaves to their own natures and impulses. Living in the now, their impulse driven now.
Of course I am generalizing
That “someone else” is you and me, brother.
The media lynched a law enforcement officer with a fictional, race-bating narrative, complete with race-bating Al Sharpton. The true information is coming out after the damage has been done. The media has ignored the case of a young white fellow, Dillon Taylor, being shot dead, executed really, on August 13, 2014, outside a convenience store in Salt Lake City - why? because the police officer was Black. That young white fellow was unarmed and already on the ground, defenseless. Not a peep out of Al Sharpton or Barack Obama about that case. The double standard of this White House and U.S. Justice Department’s head, Eric Holder, is sickening and the worse threat to the U.S. system of justice in memory.
“and the riot squad, they’re restless, they need somewhere to go......”
She’s 25 and probably single.
These sort of things are as much a mating ritual or speed-daring type of social event as anything.
Young adults of all stripes participate in these things.
Something that seems bigger than themselves, seems important and gets their adrenaline going.
Here it’s the left, but it also happens on the conservative side with, say, young people participating in an evangelical crusade.
“That “someone else” is you and me, brother.”
And it makes me sick to think about it.
> Free stuff draws ‘em like flies to ....
The only people that can afford or has time to travel there are either unemployed and living on the taxpayer dime or both (unless they’re the rich liberal race baiting types who do it for sport)
An American Backlash. That’s what all this crap in Ferguson is going to cause in November and don’t think the Democratic Party doesn’t know it. That’s why they’re ratcheting up the race card on this one and throwing in Jesse, Al, and whatever civil rights race hustler they can find to fuel the racial flames in Ferguson. They’re rolling the dice because they have no issues they can run on and all they can do is enrage blacks and hispanics to come out in record numbers to save them at the polls.
Was there a black cop on unarmed white man in Salt Lake city a week ago? If true did media suppress it?
