Hmmm, we have yellow jackets here. Bad mother f'ers.
When I swat a nest, they may get mad i knocked their nest down, but go somewhere else to build another.

Do the righties not see the ironic link to their insistence that you blame the suspect, not the NRA?

is it a "trumped up" report or was it based on facts. so this is the DOJ's fault for reporting facts? lol. yeah, because the Ferguson pd was so popular before the DOJ report. How come only black people are told to take responsibility? why not frat boys on a bus or police officers who spent years terrorizing and leaching off of the black community?

FTR, I blame Obama more than anyone else.

I feel that the DOJ's trumped up report played a significant role in increasing the animosity to the extent that it probably influenced the shooter's actions.
Do you hold the same view that Charlie Hebdo's cartoon "played a significant role in increasing the animosity to the extent that it probably influenced the shooter's actions?"

Of course not...Republikans preach personal responsibility unless they can attempt to blame a Democrat, Hispanic, Muslim, or black person.

Edit: I forgot homosexuals. And atheists.

Edit: And scientists.

Edit. And teachers. And unions.

So somehow, its the polices fault..

of course it is..

That's just NUTS - the shooters are not responsible for attempted MURDER against 2 police officers standing outside of the Police Department ?????? Exactly what type of "ideology" condones Cop Killing?

Ferguson isn't in "damage control" ..... it's in Free-Fall to anarchy - I hope they all enjoy it.
We agree on one thing -- they need to shut down the Ferguson Police Department and just let the "peaceful protestors" who are shooting at Cops and Burning the city run the place.

Ferguson, MO is all but destroyed by these people -- let them celebrate their Victory.
It's part of the Great Eric Holder Legacy. He won the battle of the City. Ferguson will be little Detroit.
It's "un-savable" at this point.
