Springtime for Chaos in Ferguson
CVity Journal ^ | March 12, 2015 | By Matthew Hennessey

Posted on 03/16/2015 2:19:06 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

Shortly before shots rang out at Wednesday night’s protest outside the Ferguson Police Department, injuring two officers and reviving fears of return to last year’s social unrest, the Twitter account of Operation Ferguson posted an ominous warning: “This will not end well tonight.” Whoever composed the Tweet was right. Exactly how they knew is an open question.

The Operation Ferguson Twitter account has 70,000 followers. It is run by Anonymous, the mysterious band of online vigilantes and mask-wearing anarchists that allies itself periodically with far-left causes from the Occupy movement to Julian Assange’s Wikileaks. To read the stream of anti-police invective on Operation Ferguson’s timeline is to get a sense of Anonymous’s goals in Ferguson—and beyond. A pair of cellphone photos of cops in riot gear is captioned “punk ass terrorists.” A picture of a young African-American facing off with the police is accompanied by text: “You’ve been killing kids like me for decades. You can’t stop the revolution.” Yet another tweet reads: “protestors have taken streets to usher in the last days of the brutal regime. Same thing happened in #Egypt. #BlackLivesMatter”

During last year’s protests in Ferguson, Anonymous pledged to protect demonstrators from “abuse and harassment” at the hands of police. Hackers affiliated with the group crashed Ferguson City Hall’s e-mail server and, using a favored tactic, threatened St. Louis County Police Department Chief Jon Belmar by posting his home address, telephone number, and photos of his family. “I’ve said all along that we cannot sustain this forever without problems,” Belmar told the media late Wednesday after the shooting. “We were very close to what happened in New York”—a reference to the assassination of two NYPD officers last December. . .

Focusing on a justified shooting is just being splashed all over the media to conceal the fact that most young people in this coverage have no future. In one of the zombie flicks (from England, I believe), a soldier describes how a zombie they’ve chained up will never raise crops or do anything productive. Most of those young thugs in Ferguson are EXACTLY the same; never mind job skills - they are completely illiterate. Liberals intended to deal with them through abortion (and failed), now not only will they have to be fed/clothed/housed for their natural lives, but their offspring/descendants will as well.

I went out to a box canyon near the homestead this morning to practice Peaceful Demonstration. I feel a lot better now. Little peaceful demonstration practice with a couple of nice handguns is very calming. Calms both the mind and the body.

Housing values in Ferguson are dropping like a rock... Businesses will start moving out at a faster rate... Nothing worth protesting about soon...

About time for them to get going on that promised march to the state capital.

Who has the map?

On a side note, how about asking everyone protesting what the capital of Missouri is?

Bonus point if they know the Interstate Highway that runs through the capital.

Time for the St. Louis County Police to get a grand jury indictment for Anonymous because their posting of personal location information about their chief would be “facilitating a felony” re any attack on him or his family/house.

Then the FBI could come in because Anonymous crosses state and country lines in their operations. Time for all internet companies to help put these radicals in jail.

When it became known that the “demonstrators” were at it again in Ferguson, did ANY RATIONAL person not think that
“This will not end well?”
The tweet could have gone out 30 minutes before the news hit the air, and have been accurate.
Just hear the words “demonstrators” and/or “protesters” and you know that “this will not end well.”

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks. - Thomas Jefferson

The race pimps come into a community and get the local idiots all fired up about non-existent race discrimination.

The Race pimps leave the community and use the unrest as leverage to extort money from government and business.

The Mindless Twits remain behind and detroy their own community.

I predict MO Democrats will get routed across the board. All of this is backfiring. If the black underclass believe that there will be compassionate whites who will join them like they did in the 60s, they are surely mistaken.

And the backlash will not be overly present, but it will be there. More businesses will post "We have a right to refuse service" signs on their property. Landlords will decline black applicants' based on their credit and job situation. Whites will decline to go to venues that have a overwhelming black presence, such as NBA games.

Whites will decline to go to . . . NBA games.

Let's hope so.

That is already well underway.

Many we know will no longer go to the State Fair, local parades, or malls, stores, restaurants, etc. near the black parts of the county and town.

They also avoid concerts and movies that might draw a black crowd.

Thankfully we don't have an NBA team within 500 miles.
