Well...the posts are not entirely wrong.

I don't agree with the kill whitey idea anymore than I can get behind looting and destroying stuff because you're angry.

But what I do not understand at all is destroying your own neighborhood. It makes no sense to me. If I ever decide to riot and or loot I am dang sure not going to start at the nearby store - a store I might need to buy from the day after.

It's not black vs. white.

It's crazy vs. sensible.

The people who made those tweets, and many of the posters in this thread, are cut from the same cloth.

People become irate when police continue to be violent and untrustworthy, or when (eg. Trayvon Martin) some kid gets killed for walking home, and the cops hear the audio of the white shooter chasing the black kid down the street for no discernable reason and say "Well, I'm sure the black kid regrets what he did", as police Chief Bill Lee did. But they're irate over kids being killed by other black kids as well. Why wouldn't they be? They're their *children*.
Yes. I live in Philly and the community are absolutely doing whatever they can to push back against the violence. Especially the mothers of slain sons. To say no one cares is a gross misrepresentation.

Here they are not doing so.
Riiiight because if the officer lives around there he and his family couldn't possibly be in any danger for retribution?

Guess you don't remember all the posts on social media about where Zimmerman was supposed to live and how he should be taken out etc etc?

Heck, even posters here talked about Zim getting killed off.

Yeah, no possible reason they are witholding his name other than he's guilty.

Maybe he is, don't know yet...but dear lord that's one heckuva stretch of an interpretation.

Wishing that someone aged 18 is not a teen, is not going to make it so.
At least their not calling him a child, or maybe they are.

I'd report him as an 18 year-old. A little longer, maybe more expensive, but worth it to distinguish the victim from a 13, 14 year-old.

That's just great, more black on white murders until they catch up, when do you suppose that will happen?

Did anyone watch the news conference? They interviewed who I'm thinking is the lead protester. Was that guy still living in the 1960's? Saying that Ferguson has 53 cops and 50 are "white boys". He also said that the city of St. Louis promoted 16 cops and 15 were "white boys". In other words, lower the testing standards so that more blacks can become Lt. As a black man, I am highly offended. I don't need the bar lowered for me to make it. I want the same requirements as everybody else.
