Ferguson Megathread

[Anglo-California]

A riot is the voice of the unheard, abused, and oppressed. Here's hoping there are maximum casualties on the side of the thugs who provoke this violence behind their uniforms.LMurderers and allies to murderers the lot of them.

Well if that isn't a declaration of war...

[Vjaarland]

I agree. At this point, I'll support most anything the police need to do in order to restore order. I'm honestly a little concerned for my safety right now.

I live with a black dude. I'm good.

The great irony of the whole situation is the staggering amount of black on black violence in St. Louis.

Cut it out. We don't need to have more warnings and bans.

Appologies...that is just a little personal seeing as he is wishing as many officers as possible die tonight.

They've burned down my grandmothers workplace, she is a cashier at the Walgreens. Well....was....it's gone. What the hell is going on, we're the show me state....we have more couth than this.

I've been to Missouri. I really liked it. I loved the towns of Joplin and Springfield. And St. Louis was pretty slick, too. The Midwest is just great.


Well, word is that rioting is going to break out in Oakland, but in California, this sort of thing happens all of the time, especially in Oakland.

Of course, is New York still peaceful?

Police are retreating from Toys R Us and O'Reilly Autoparts.

I was listening to that on their scanner. There unit at the Toys R Us is very lucky to have gotten out of there, as it was just that one cop against the occupants of like 100 protester cars.

Honestly at this point, the National Guard needs to be sent in to restore order before this gets any further out of hand.

They should use live ammo too.

Don't mistake a declaration of political edginess for a declaration of war.

[Wisconsin9]

Apparently the KKK jerkwads have joined the action too...

Good. Paramilitary forces to put down riots is always good.

The Klan isn't some noble group of concerned citizens swooping in to save the day. They're racist fucks who just want to fan the flames.

There's nothing constructive offered in this post.

Go to hell.

*** Warned for flaming ***.

Understood. And what of his statement? That is not inflammatory at all?

Oh I live in North Carolina...but this town is so hippie infested I could see riot breaking out just cause.

If it concerns you, report him. Which is the more reasonable thing to do.

White on white violence is also at an all time high, but I don't see the need to classify it by race. Why not just you know....crime.

As long as they don't hit any white people it can all be ruled justifiable. *nod nod*

St. Louis County is actually fantastic. Even Ferguson in particular is really not known as a bad place.

[Hornesia]

I'm gonna be honest, I'm surprised nothing's kicked off in Atlanta yet.

Maybe this is their chance to change their image?

[Skappola]

Protests have also broken out in Chicago, Sacramento, and Oakland.

Protesting is great, the US could do with more organized protesting on more than just racial issues

Rioting over a case in which there is so little evidence that could be used in a prosecution that they couldn't even indict the man is silly. We need less of that

As an American though, I'm most proud that the justice system is capable of resisting pressure from protesters who lack the proper information to accurately judge potential guilt or the ability to prosecute said guilt. It's sad that so many people saw this with the mindset of "If he's indicted the justice system is working, if he isn't its racist". These jurors are people selected before the incident by a judge to decide, after strenuous and careful review of the evidence, if there was enough with which to proceed with criminal charges.

It was a unanimous decision no, and they're going to release all the information to the public to show us how the decision was made so I don't see what the fuss is really all about.

The (modern) KKK is just as bad as the New Black Panthers.
They are both racist thugs, and both out to incite hate for their own gain.

(Although I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the leaders of the KKK and the NBP were like best buds who just hang out on a yacht and discuss ways to get their respective ignorant followers to incite more hate)

There is not a single part of that post that was in any way constructive, insightful, or helpful, and I say that as someone utterly dismayed by the Grand Jury's decision.

The police created this problem, every step of the way they have upped the ante of violence. They rent this riot to happen. They want the cover so nobody challenges them. They want the opportunity to kill with impunity. They do this every chance they get. Had they not been excessively violent leading up to this, had they not tried to excuse the murder, had they not lied and obstructed and failed to do their jobs, this would not have happened. They deserve every bad thing coming to them.If they don't like it they should quit being the hired muscle for our racist capitalist power structure.

I know this won't make much of a difference, but here's one more person adding her voice to the mix and hoping that everyone in these areas stays safe. I need to get some sleep, but since this seems to be the place where people are congregating, I wanted to join in and add my support to those in Ferguson and outlying areas before logging off for the night. I'm sorry this is happening, and I hope order gets restored soon.

Bring out Ben Garrison!

Yes, but they're also unaccountable and therefore free to unleash violence. And violence solves all problems.

This is a dark day for America, and a dark day for justice.
