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?

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.

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*
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

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

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.
