The Ferguson thread

[ghuns]

Big fire sale in Ferguson last night. Prices were criminally low, practically a steal

Best Pre-Black Friday sale evah! Everythins for free!

 

[Bluejeeper]

So was rioting contained in the Ferguson area, or did it spread to any other cities? I've been having trouble keeping track of it all.

There were people that tried to get riots started in St Louis and I believe there was some attempted looting. I'm not sure about other cities

Serious Question; Michael Browns stepfather stands on a car in the streets and screams "Burn this mother F***er down" repeatedly. Why has he not been arrested for inciting a riot, or domestic terrorism? I know if I got down to the circle and do the exact same thing (with no riots already going on mind you) I would find myself in marion county jail and probably be talking to the FBI.

Don't read the comments: Darren Wilson tells ABC he has a ?clean conscience,? and would shoot Michael Brown again

This guy isn't doing himself any good speaking to the press right now at all. While I think he was justified in his actions, he isn't helping his image or anything. He's reading Zimmeran's playbook and needs to just put it down now.

Because people would freak out for arresting a member of the Brown family right now?

He could probably punch a cop in the face himself and they'd do nothing for fear of the idiot mob.

Sympathy and politics.

That headline is a little deceiving, imagine that. He just said that he wouldn't do anything different, big difference from, "I'd shoot him again."

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Agreed. Claim you wish it never had to happen and shut up.

And that it exactly why we are in the position we are in today with idiots burning Ferguson up. Authorities are afraid to act.

 

[jd4320t]

I'd bet Darren Wilson is only talking when they say he should and saying what they think he should. I'm sure he has a lot of people advising him. They're deciding when to let things out.


If he says something along the lines of wishing he'd acted differently or he shouldn't have shot Brown then that could be used as admitting guilt.

And there is the double standard we are forced to deal with.

This was going around on Facebook a while back. Maybe it was after the Trayvon Martin (or however it was spelled) shooting.

Auto parts store?


"Auto parts" implies a willingness to WORK to install said auto parts. What relative or associate of Michael Brown has indicated an inclination to actual work?

Now the Federal investigation will proceed.
If charges are filed, Officer Wilson will be driven into bankruptcy.

I wonder if some officer will now decide to just drive away, rather than chance a confrontation and civil rights [STRIKE]persecution[/STRIKE] prosecution.

And there is the double standard we are forced to deal with.

Ive heard it referred to as "white guilt"

I absolutely hate that in 2014 everything has to become racial.
I could say a million things that have already been said, but its like something like this happens and race relations fall back 50 years. Martin Luther King Jr is probably rolling in his grave right now at the way these people are acting in Ferguson.

Every police officer in the country should just go home if the indict him after his peers found no probable cause.

From the article.

The best analogy to use here is that of playing chess with a pigeon. It will clumsily knock over the pieces, take a crap on the board, then fly back to its friends to brag about how it won the match.
