Ferguson: In Defense of Rioting (Time Magazine Defends Assault, Looting, and Vandalism)
Time ^ | November 25, 2014 | Darlena Cunha

Posted on 11/27/2014 12:00:33 PM PST by Timber Rattler

The violent protests in Ferguson, Mo., are part of the American experience. Peaceful protesting is a luxury only available to those safely in mainstream culture.

When a police officer shoots a young, unarmed black man in the streets, then does not face indictment, anger in the community is inevitable. It’s what we do with that anger that counts. In such a case, is rioting so wrong?

So Time thinks MLK Jr protested within the protection of main stream culture?

So Time thinks shooting a strong-armed robbery suspect who attacks a police officer should be a crime, just because the thug wasn't armed? This event and the attempts to justify the mobs are going to destroy any hope that the police will ever enforce any laws.

Let's hear it for concealed carry licenses.

You’re being too gentle to the Thug. By going for Officer Wilson’s pistol, he was in the first stage of trying to murder Office Wilson. After all, what else was he planning, to take the pistol to the nearest AME church for a gun “buyback”? The whole thing was repeated attempted murder and the monstrous, subhuman Brown was justly, morally, and appropriately exterminated like the vile vermin he was.

Waiting for the FBI to pay Ms. Cunha here a visit for inciting and supporting violence....

Not a chance. The FBI is run by the Justice Department. Why would they want to stop her?

A: What they did was destruction and theft. Imagine if one of those businesses had been yours, Darlena.

B: If these "protestors" are angry at law enforcement and the justice system, why didn't they vandalize the police department or the courthouse? Why did they wreck their own neighbors' means of livelihood and steal what belonged to others?

The American newsmedia is putrified with the moral rot of decadence.

Read an article in the L.A. Times today that said some believe the violence, looting and destruction of others and their property is ok because it’s a form of their expression.

Cunha is sanctioning anarchy.

The civilized way to effect change is through peaceful protests, using sound and convincing arguments, and petitioning government. If that fails, use the ballot box.
