I was trying to be reasonable about the whole thing but frankly once I heard that the NAACP is having to protect black witnesses from these "protestors".....I really got angry. Eff em. They don't like the GJ ruling and want to attack innocent people and loot stores etc. then I have the same response if they were the KKK.....shoot them and yes, if people were trying to break into our homes and hurt our families we both know we'd respond the same way.

For every one of these violent turds there a host of others that might not agree with the GJ but aren't going to hurt people over it. They live in these neighborhoods and will bear the brunt of the bad actions of others and they need protecting because we dang well know thats where the worst of it will occur.

So whatever. I think it's more a case of people WANTING it to happen.
That is exactly how I feel. The media and others here on C-D keep repeating it. They want it to happen so they can sit at home and watch it like they are at the movies and point at "the blacks" calling them lazy, animals, thugs etc. You would think there would be more posts hoping it wouldn't happen and that there would be minor altercations in the Ferguson area, but no. They're excited about the prospect. It's sad really.

Interesting view.....

People in Ferguson act like fools......and it is not their fault.

We "willed" it to happen on C-D.

Obama will coordinate his EO on Illegals to coincide with Ferguson and distract the media / people.

Nothing like a good riot to make people ignore a bigger problem.

This is the site I have been watching.

One lady hopes the GJ CONVICTS Wilson........some of these people sound just plain stupid.
They are conducting a play in the middle of the street. "Freeze" and then shoot and the idiots fall down in the street. Now they are screaming "We shut s**t down."

Any thinking person, if they have not already moved out should high tail out of that lost city and take their money with them. Let the them shut it down like they want. See how long they last without financial support. Let them figure out how to run their own city. Why any cop would stay working in that area is beyond me. There would not be enough money to make it worth while.

When you have two groups of racists siding up on an issue, it's generally good advice not to pick a side.

I side with the poor residents of places like Ferguson that will have this mess in thier laps through no fault of their own.

Trying to make excuses for one group of buttheads because there are other buttheads complaining about them is not a wise tactic imo.
