Already serving 2cnd term, and dreaming of the White House, but this bit of fame or notoriety may put the nix on Nixon.LOL

That would be largely those from St. Louis and Kansas City, among other Democratic strongholds.

Well, that was me being sarcastic. Sorry you didn’t understand it.

You are correct. I sincerely doubt that the police set out to deliberately cause a riot.

I still remember Kent State. Students throwing stuff and people being shocked when shots were fired in retaliation, so there have been worse things happen in riot control than what has happened in Ferguson.

Yea, kinda figured that would be the case. Is in every state pretty much. Say Green Eyes? what do you know about green eyed people? I happen to have green eyes too and had read that we were about one percent of the entire world’s population.

I don't really know much about green eyed people. Genetics is not my forte. I had one class in biology over 40 years ago that spent about 3 days on genetics.

At my age, I barely remember what happened yesterday, but I tend to remember the 60s, since that was when I was a teenager, and the JFK assassination etc.

LMAO. You are hilarious. JFK was shot one month before I was born. Do you have green eyes or just wishful thinking? If you do and are interested in what is said about green eyed people I can share a little of what I have read. I think more women are green eyed than men. I am female. We have some special characteristics. Here is little green eyed entertainment. Enjoy and thanks for the laugh.

As it is, in Ferguson, no resort to the use of heavier weaponry has been necessary, thank God.

Heavier weaponry like tripod-mounted machine guns?

Yeah, thank God they didn't feel the need to mow everyone down to re-establish peace. Because hey, if people riot, what else could they possibly do? There simply aren't any alternatives. And its not like pointing that machine gun incites feelings of fear, defensiveness or anger in already unstable crowds. I mean, it's not like they're cops, who get alarmed enough and incited enough to empty magazines into crazies holding a knife, or worse, if they see someone armed with one-tenth of what they're carrying. That's different.

I keep forgetting, incitement is something by which only the authorities can be victimized.
