A pox on the media.
Communists and anarchists love riots and are very disappointed when black people let them down by not dying in large numbers for the cause.
You mean half of America is not burning?
I’ve been watching that new news network OANN. Pretty impressed. It’s definitely refreshing, crazy as that sounds tonight, to not be able to predict what the reporters and anchors are gonna say before they say it...,
It’s like in Rwanda where the local radio stations were encouraging the Hutus to slaughter the Tutsis.
Three businesses on fire. One cop car on fire. Dozens of rounds of gunfire.
I missed Bingo Night for this!?
I demand a refund!
I think you are out of the loop.
There is far more going on then you are suggesting.
Maybe you should hit up the police scanner to get an idea.
Wishing it weren’t so isn’t making it true.
In fact, the MSM, and Fox News in particular, are overly dramatic and hyperbolic ....
Yep. I was saying that earlier tonight.
Well, been watching on CNN. Appears the idiots in Ferguson are burning their own town down. Police and fire depts backing away because of gunfire. They can only move about in armored vehicles. Looks like a war zone.
Are you here in St. Louis tonight?
Yep. Propaganda to incite racial antagonism has been used during economic lows, off and on, for a very long time. It’s a kind of distraction propaganda used to distract from some of the real causes.
The best answer that I know of is to reject and ridicule politics during such times, and to engage in a project for lowering personal costs of living (home energy, food, etc.) and less centralized, more distributed production (build something useful, like a tractor).
Rise to compete! Everyone invited!

Actually this is much worse.
I’m watching a piece on abc 15 in Phoenix right now. Two people showed up for the big “gentle giant” verdict protest in Phoenix. A mother and her son. Oh well, they tried. Arizonans are a bunch of party poopers. LOL!
“They’re eating children in the Superdome because nobody’s sent bottled water!” - paraphrasing Geraldo’s report to a weepy Shep Smith after Katrina.
your getting snippets from the media. Ferguson is on fire. BAD!
Listen to the police scanners!

Everything’s quiet in my little corner of Oakland. The idiots are all out trying to loot a freeway ;-)
No reports of book stores being looted.
