I'm really not sure what more those people wanted you to say tbh

They just said an autopsy showed he was shot in the back. I hope this doesn't stir up more s**t, we have too many roads around here closed because of repair we don't need protesters shutting down traffic on the other ones.

Only way this stuff ends is when the people of Ferguson decide they've had enough of the lawlessness.

Well there wasn't anything going on last night other then the normal crime. One bullet to the upper right back to be exact. The part of town where this happened wasn't exactly great. Vacant houses,vacant lots, streetlights barely working and not that many businesses.

Sigh... That's exactly what I was saying. I said absolutely NOTHING about being proud - or not proud - of being black.

If you can't comprehend when someone agrees with you, you're going to have a hard time with your argument.

Good grief.

I hope the people of Ferguson show as much outrage for this innocent little girl as they did for that thug Michael Brown.
They had a vigil for her. It included the policeman who carried her out to the ambulance. No suspects yet. Of course people are outraged, but you can't really protest a criminal shooting. The criminal is not tasked with protecting you.

Police officers cried and crowds chanted for justice as they gathered outside of a home on the 9200 block of Ellison in honor of 9-year-old Jamyla Bolden. Police say the Koch Elementary School fourth grader was sitting on her bed doing homework Tuesday night when somebody fired a round of bullets outside of the house around 9:30 p.m. A bullet hit Jamyla and killed her. Her mother was shot in the leg.

This crap is happening in America. Thank God the terrorists aren't winning. Imagine what would happen if we didn't invade Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Ukraine. We'd all be in deep doodoo.

Then why is black crime so high in the ghettos? No snitching is my motto 2, never trust the police either. Fight the power.

You can protest violence. Which is what some people were doing the other week.

Any person who judges and blames an entire race of people every time someone of that race does something bad is simple-minded and not worth the time of day anyway.
