Quote:To announce that at 9 pm had to be one of the dumbest decisions made by a government entity in a long time. That being said, it did not really matter. The outcome was given. Humans looking for a reason to act like animals. Business owners should have protected their stores themselves with whatever force necessary.

 

One of the reasons they gave on why they announced it at night was hope for most people to be at home and not out shopping or in the streets during normal business hours.. Whether people agree with that or not is a different story, but given the circumstances, I don't think it would have mattered what time they made the announcement.. Idiots are going to be idiots and thugs are going to be thugs at any time of the day or night..

^This is likely the case.  The decision is nothing but an excuse for them to act like uncivilized animals.  I don't like to call them animals, to be honest, because it's at a different level than that.  

 

Watching this saddens me to the core.  I thought we had come further than this in society yet here we are.  Martin Luther King Jr would be ashamed.

 

"Do you know that Negroes are 10 percent of the population of St. Louis and are responsible for 58% of its crimes? We’ve got to face that. And we’ve got to do something about our moral standards. We know that there are many things wrong in the white world, but there are many things wrong in the black world, too. We can’t keep on blaming the white man. There are things we must do for ourselves.”  Martin Luther King Jr in 1961

 

Martin Luther King knew, 53 years ago.

Edit, I'll add this as well..

 

<p style="margin-left:60px;font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">FERGUSON, Mo. – Sixty-one people were arrested overnight in St. Louis County amid the unrest that erupted in Ferguson following the announcement of the grand jury's decision to not indict Officer Darren Wilson.

<p style="margin-left:60px;font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">The arrest numbers were released by St. Louis County Police Sgt. Brian Schellman. He says at this time he doesn't have totals for property damages, burglaries, thefts, and arsons because it will take some time to compile.

<p style="margin-left:60px;font-family:arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);">Of those arrested, 59 are residents of St. Louis or the greater St. Louis area, and some were arrested for more than one crime. They range in age from 17 to 66-years-old. The first arrest happened at 9:20 a.m. the last was at 3:40 a.m.

losers demanding street justice

It was well document in August crowds from as far as New York and Detroit where showing up in mass at Ferguson, that said they just announced on the news most of the arrest last night where from locals so that's surprising.

Maybe the majority of those people were part of the peaceful protest crowd then, because 59 of 61 arrests last night came from local idiots and thugs.. 

Quote:How many here would slam the door on a cop while he's trying to get out of the car, let your DNA get on the cops gun, walk away when told to halt. Then turn around a charge the cop?

And expect no consequence? I would suggest normal,average people don't do this.


Then, trying to make sense of this and want justice, you review the few facts. Then try to make a non judgemental decision on your perception ( I know...perception) .... Believe testimony of victims witnesses or video of victim and testimony of a store owner who was just thrown to the side when he asked victim to pay for an item and victim walks out without paying. Then called a Gentle Giant?

Who has more credibility?


We all know if it were white on white, black on black....there would be little reaction.


Pathetic .

 

That's the real tragedy here.

 

If the black community would show half as much outrage when blacks kill one another as they are showing towards what happened in Ferguson, their communities wouldn't be in as bad shape as they are.

 

There's a culture problem, not a "systemic" one as many apologists would claim.  There is an environment created that fosters consumption and destruction, not one of betterment and prosperity.

"A dangerous Black man is someone who is intellectual, highly educated, wealthy, and has power who cannot be controlled, or manipulated. That present's the ultimate fear"

 

"A black man who is a criminal is not a threat because they can be easily jailed, deprived of education, manipulated, and financially illiterate"

I notice that those are quotes.. So what jeanyus said a black man who attacks a police officer isn't a threat?

Couldn't you replace Black with White, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian and have the same exact thing? Or just omit color/race from it altogether?

Quote:With that said, I agree with the grand jury and officer wilson did his job.

 

Yeah, because you were there and saw it all. And I'm sure you've already been through all the testimony and exhibits.

 

You're a joke.

 

I think your description of people as "animals" gives a pretty clear clue as to where you're coming from.

 

Truth is no one posting on here has any idea as to what happened and why.

 

But, I'm sorry - I interrupted your ignorant postings. Continue...

I'm a joke? Did they act like animals last night or not? I think they did..

 

Apparently the Grand Jury knows what happened and they decided to not indict. So I'm ignorant.. Riiiiiight.. Keep on keepin on..

And the rioters are any less ignorant?

Didn't you JUST chastise me literally 5 minutes ago for saying "fact is" in the college football forum? Then you say "truth is" in your very next post?


How ironic... But go ahead and spin that as being any different.


Funny that you are calling "fact", conjecture... And your "truth" is conjecture at it's finest.

99% OF BLACKS DID NOT RIOT: In The Words Of Michael Brown Sr. “We Are Stronger United.”
 

Unfortunately, we all watched in horror last night as the streets of Ferguson, Missouri erupted into flames, police cars were smashed, and buildings were destroyed. Do you know what we saw? We saw hours of video showing predomenatly young black people rioting in the streets of Ferguson. They were bashing in store windows, shooting guns, lighting fires and looting every store they could break into.

Most of those people rioting aren't even from Ferguson, so burning that community to the ground means absolutely nothing to them.

So, in your opinion, is it okay to riot, burn buildings and vehicles, and steal from local businesses if a court decision doesn't go the way you think it should? 

 

Do you think it's possible these types of court decisions are  being used as an excuse to cause civil unrest and mayhem under the guise of "racism"? 

 

I watched the video, and saw the looters running around clearing out liquor stores, rental stores, convenience stores, a Public Storage business, a Little Caesar's, several other locally owned small businesses,  and a Walgreens.  Many of the stores they looted, in fact the majority of them, were minority owned.  So, as they're screaming "racism" as they set fire to businesses and trash the community, they're only hurting themselves and their cause even more. 

 

There are ways to protest things like this without burning the place to the ground, but it's a mob mentality that was stoked by idiots like Al Sharpton and other race hucksters who need those fires burning in order to keep their pockets lined.

It's the 1% of the people that they appeal to. The lowest common demoninator

Quote:It's the 1% of the people that they appeal to. The lowest common demoninator

What's interesting is that anyone who dares to use facts against these hucksters wind up being labeled racists.  If you point out that more than 90% of black murders are committed by blacks, they ignore that fact.  There's a huge problem in our society today when you can't look at what the REAL issues are here, preferring to manufacture a white devil because that's better for the fundraising efforts. 

 

They're burning down Ferguson because a white police officer shot a black man.  Nobody is doing anything in Chicago where blacks are killing each other like it's a war zone. Not even their former senator has dared to talk about the race violence in his adopted home town.
