Riots over a shoting turn into free jordans and 40's

I think he is pretty much suggesting that if you have a more liberal tilt here your odds of getting ban are lower given that most of the active moderators here have more than a gentle leaning to the left.

Of course that's just a thought that has no scientific backing. :P

Truthfully I don't have a clue who gets ban and who doesn't, I got zap years ago - I think by Bill but I'm not sure - but I bet I deserved it.

Sure miss these days.

On thread.....I wonder if the police officer receives a no charge if that will motivate people of color to come out and vote? That narrative is already being used, but I'm THOUGHT the dead line was Jan for the grand jury to report?

Why do whites run mostly black town?
http://www.cnn.com/

This is the headline right now on CNN.com.

I'm sorry but this is sensationalizing the issue. The answer is simple; because until 4 days ago the black population in Ferguson didn't care who ran their government. But you won't find that in the CNN story. You'll find statistics about white v. black crime, hiring, arrests etc.

Again, I'm thinking most of the protestors are not from Ferguson. The interviews I was seeing when the riots were at their worst, was that the local black population wished all the outsiders would go away, were scared for their safety (because of the outsiders rioting) and realized fully that there was a significant number of people in their community who were not contributing to their community and lived to make trouble. They were scared to leave their homes to go to work for fear of what they'd find when they came back...
If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

******Sorry, your face is too ugly to have a valid opinion.



How the fuck did you get out of this without a ban or even a warning?

Because it was seen in context with the messages before I assume. Regardless that poster and I have had a chat in PM and all is good.

Context matters, even if it wasn't really the smartest or nicest thing to post.


Might work for you and other favored libs .Does not work for many of us with whom the mods dont agree.

I guess beating people up runs in the family....

Michael Brown’s mom may face felony armed robbery charges. Lesley McSpadden is accused of enlisting a group of people to “beat” another group of people who were selling Mike Brown T-shirts in Ferguson. One T-shirt seller was allegedly beaten so badly that hospitalization was required, and another seller was allegedly beaten with a pipe.

Lesley McSpadden and a group of about 30 people allegedly drove up to a group of Mike Brown T-shirt vendors and “rushed” them. One of the Ferguson Michael Brown shooting beating victims was reportedly the teenager’s grandmother and McSpadden’s former mother-in-law, Pearlie Gordon.

>personally I'm more interested in the actual shooting itself. The lack of any >meaningful statements from the PD thus far is bothering.

Agreed. I heard one interview where the chief of police said (in effect) "well, since I am interested in this investigation being as impartial, fair and just as possible, I'm not going to say anything substantive." I have a feeling they are getting ready for a very ugly legal battle.

Why do black people riot like this? All it does it hurt other people. Businesses who provide services FOR them, and whos taxes SUPPORT them in general



Quote

Anyhow, to answer your question (Why do black people riot like this?) more directly, it's because historically

nothing else seems to work.



Edit to add: Billvon, Andy908 and Kelp diver went completely off the topic. The OP's original question was why do black people riot like this? Rioters hurt businesses and their communities that provide for them.

If you believe that they loot because they're angry at police and the injustice to all subjects of these type of incidents, then you all support an apocalyptic and destructive state where protestors are allowed steal, hurt others in order to voice their opinions regarding these incidents. Wow just WOW

Rioters do nothing but serve an injustices to businesses and the community.

Regardless if they are black, white, yellow, or purple. Rioters are ignorant, at some point in time were criminals to begin with, and most of all, opportunistic.

The OP presented facts and statistics to the table. Let's not argue about irrelevance. Stay on the topic for crying out loud! :S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S
What do protesters want? Dead cops! When do they want it? Every 2 weeks!

You've got it all wrong... from another article on the story...

Quote

Ivery came into the pub separately and "was being very unruly," Nice said. The pub's management asked Ivery to leave, which he did, but he came back shortly and had a gun.

"At this point, the restaurant patrons looked to Officer Winebrenner, knowing he's an officer, and needed his help," Nice said. "Officer Winebrenner began to deal with Mr. Ivery as a law enforcement officer. Ivery shot him at that point."

...

The police chief expressed disappointment with the state's conceal carry laws.



When white people are shot and killed it isn't because of racism, it's because of the NRA.

Why would they? It doesn't support or expand racism.

Here is another recent event to help prove my point. Two black panthers were caught by the Feds trying to buy explosives to set off in the "protests"...



Which point does that prove? Setting off bombs during a protest is a lot different than indisciminate rioting/looting.

I for one am VERY concern about how people will react if they charge the officer. You just don't know how these hot headed whites will respond. Should the officer be charged I'm glad that the national guard, state patrol and local law enforcement are prepared. It certainly seems reasonable that a few local business get burn to the ground or looted.

(disclaimer. While you may not like my humor it is insane that some believe - no matter what the decision - that actions of looting are acceptable)

Grand jury has reached a decision. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/grand-jury-reaches-decision-in-case-of-ferguson-officer/ar-BBfDcHR

Let the riots... or... celebrations begin. :|



the tweets on this show a preponderance of idiocy, pre-judgment, and irrationality to the point of violence. also a lack of understanding of the legal process or basis

the sheer stupidity and on-purpose ignorance is terrifying

doesn't matter the result of this stage - it'll be a pile of crap
