LIGHT THE BUILDING ON FIRE" sideshow that was so eloquently displayed by these great citizens of Ferguson last night is hardly a solution but just makes the majority think these people are idiots and uncivilized. These actions do nothing but discredit anything valid in their argument. It is a shame because there is likely some institutional bias out there int he justice system, but these people pick such idiots to hitch their wagon to. Why not pick someone who was legitimately wronged and not someone who followed up stealing from a convenience store with assaulting a police officer? Stop picking such low-life losers to defend and find something valid. That shouldn't be that hard if this bias really does exist.
Cold hard truth. Wow even I would have been a little more sensitive, but the corndog is right here.

That's why Asian Californians fought against bringing back Affirmative Action earlier this year. It's an evil that doesn't help. It's like denying VISA to the highly intelligent, highly educated and highly skilled immigrant students but giving amnesty to thousands of uneducated, unskilled illegal immigrants. Statistics don't lie.
