What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson?

Posted on 11/26/2014 10:28:50 AM PST by Jim Robinson

What do y'all think about the riots in Ferguson? Rocks, bottles, bricks, Molotov cocktails thrown. Stores looted and burned. Private property destroyed. Cars burned. Churches burned. Smoke, tear gas. Gunfire, including from automatic (assault) rifles. Looked and sounded like a war zone.

Dang. Almost as bad as those tea party rallies the DHS has been warning us about.

I don’t know why the fire department, guarded by National Guard, isn’t spraying hydrant water high over the punks’ heads’ and letting it come down on them as a cold drizzle. If the little thugs got cold & wet and started sniffling, they would pack it up in a New York minute.

But I suspect the local authorities got a phone call from Capitol City (from the guy with half a name, Jeh prolly, since Obama only learns about stuff like this the next day in the newspaper, heh) forbidding anything like that.

Zero’s “Hang in there guys!” encouragement to his community organizer soul mates is going to be the subject of a lot of talk around groaning boards tomorrow, and I further suspect that his (dis)approval figures are going to plummet even more.

Worst. President. Ever.

I listened to the St. Louise County Command integrated police scanner both nights. Half of the chaos has not been reported. Such as, three cars driving around shooting and fire bombing throwing Molotov cocktails starting fires. Several of these cars reported with Illinois license plates. The Toy's R Us and other businesses were looted by hundreds of cars driving from each store and looting systematically. There were two patrol cars at the Toys R Us that were ordered to stand down because there was no back up. The Ferguson PD was so overwhelmed they called in a Code 5000 asking for any and all assistance from any LEO in St. Louis or nearby to come to their aid. Hundreds of rounds fired and one open mic from a patrol car taking fire that you could hear the semiautomatic rifle fire. Fire Departments told to stand down because of the incoming rounds and random shooting. A dead body found burning who ended up being a grand jury witness that backed Officer Wilson's description and obviously killed as a snitch by the rioting hoard. If the National Guard had been deployed the first night most of the fires and looting could have been stopped by freeing up the police forces to patrol instead of protecting City Hall and other civic structures that the Guard could have done like last night.

Obama and Holder are responsible for this more than anyone for not standing up for law and order and supporting a LEO who was protecting his community. Obama jumped to conclusions again and frankly I believe he did it on purpose to stoke the flames and bring about this madness. It is obvious that all his actions are to bring about destruction and disunity.

...”all because their skin color makes people afraid to stand up.”....

Well the fact they’re well know for violence would make most avoid and or run.....and they know well that they create that perception.

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
Packed up and ready to go
Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
A place where nobody knows

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I’m getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, I lived in the ghetto
I’ve lived all over this town

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain’t got time for that now

You are right that Dorian Johnson's life is apparently in great danger. I suspect this is the reason that the lawyer trotted him out for the interview on MSNBC yesterday. He has to try to convince everyone that he stuck to his story, since everyone knows he cut some sort of deal with the FBI and/or prosecutor.

Also, the murder of Deandre Joshua happened before/simultaneous to the grand jury document dump. It gives the appearance of a mole in the prosecutor's office.

Well, the mostly peaceful protests by millions and millions in Ferguson and thousands of other cities in the country were for a good cause as they were trying to show America how racist it is and how it keeps the blacks down and in slavery.

The TEA party activities were of course just a handful of extreme far-right racist anarchist radicals out to further enrich evil mega-corporations and banks which control the world and are causing the rapid destruction of the planet through global warming.

Well, at least that's the gist of it as told to me by the very unbiased (ok, they are pretty right-wing) MSM.

Respectfully, after having talked to her, donations are not what she wants, just the opportunity to earn a living, in business, for herself.

I specifically asked her to deliver a pie to a Veteran’s group, a church, or some similar organization. There must be people hurting, in her area, because of the knuckleheads congregating, in town, who could use the comfort of a fresh slice of pie.

Thanksgiving blessings to all.

Bingo! Almost wrote the same thing. Manufactured Obama Crisis, ongoing communist 'forward' push. . right out of the Marxist playbook. . same ole same ole. . Do people get it yet? I'm hoping the one silver lining with all of this is that more and more people are starting to wake up.

What a week. . Monday Hagel, Tuesday Ferguson, Tues, Wed - Riots, Thursday Thanksgiving and football Thurs thru Sunday. Sunday night? Monday, What Amnesty? . . or the other 88 scandals.

Time for the 10 million car caravan to Washington D.C. yet?

Hark Jim.
I've been laying low on this issue but keeping abreast of what
has gone down since day one.
I pose two questions no one should feel, obligated to answer.

1. Is this Dorian Johnson not the weasel shown in the store security camera video
of the gentle giant stealing the cigars?
2. Why is he not locked up as an accessory to the crime, and
for his two misleading so called witness accounts saying
Brown had held his hands up and said "don't shoot", then
on local news had said "as Brown ran from the patrol car
the police officer shot him in the back".

This whole affair IMHO, is nothing more then a news driven event,
fraught with mis-leading so called witness first hand accounts,
that later are found to be lies.

That's my two cents on this issue.

That's true. They know they can get away with it. They should be met with firepower.

It was planned right from the start. It’s absolutely unforgivable.. Our current government wants the complete destruction of our country.

Another case of “never letting a crisis go to waste.”

I want to respond, but when I do it turns into 30k word rant, so I’ll pass. Thanks for the opportunity though.

Anyone who wonders how the media and the Black Grievance Industry played this event from the very start would enjoy this wonderfully detailed account :

http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2014/11/24/mike-brown-shooting-understanding-the-acquital-and-how-the-media-again-got-it-so-wrong-the-initial-media-witnesses-were-false/

Once someone knows who Anthony Shahid is, one has to wonder, although he’s generally from the St. Louis area, just how he showed up almost immediately and began working the crowd and helping shape the false media narative that was unfolding.

Her story about how she saved and saved to start her cake shop is an inspiration.

Very sad that she had to pay the price. She is trying to support her kids and live a good life.

He changed the lyric from “and I think to myself” to “and if Justice will unfold.”

He didn't voice an opinion he advanced Propaganda. It's time we called a spade a spade and acted appropriately when we personally encounter these “opinions” That's my plane for the future, at any rate.
