Ferguson is currently deadlocked due to race conditions.

Gee, maybe there should be an investigation, followed by a trial?

Did Sava really leave because of this thread?

Let's play, "spot the white person".

Such as the woman protester hit by a car in Ferguson ? She looked mighty white to me.

Still, you're the real expert on race relations and sensitivity, aren't you, Mr. Terre Blanche ?

[Patroklos]

I am pretty sure that was not in Ferguson, but rather Minneapolis.

[Kidlicious]

There's some white morons too.

You're quite right, my mistake for reading a newspaper story in which the photograph was part of a series of photographs run next to the main story which was about Ferguson.

I apologise for misleading anyone who thought the incident happened in Ferguson. Meanwhile, can Sister Bendy now inform us of the people in the image he posted, who was it who set fire to a building ?

Because presumably he's trying to say only African Americans set fire to buildings if it was meant to be some sort of serious reply to my post. Given his comments about African Americans, black people in general and his whole-hearted approval for conditions in apartheid South Africa in the past, perhaps he thinks they're all engaged in some common purpose conspiracy....

Furthermore the protesting in the entire state was not associated with any rioting so it didn't really help Molly make any sort of point about the rioters.

The boy was holding a sign that said "Free Hugs", and the police sarge asked for one.

So let's look at the assumptions here: a) all black people (in the U.S., who knows, probably in his tiny mind, in the world too) are in one big club

b) it was all black folks done burn the buildings down


Are you a trained remote viewer too ?

Or simply Johnny-On-The-Spot ?

Molly I think you may have been doing HC a disservice here.

original thread was as follows:

Businesses torched in Ferguson - my first reaction was "I'm surprised there's anything left to burn"

Let's burn black businesses to protest the poor treatment of black people! THAT'LL TEACH THE COPS TO MESS WITH US

Nowhere does HC even imply in his post any assumption of the racial identities of those who burned the buildings down. He simply suggests that burning the businesses down as a response to grand jury decision is an absurd and inexplicable decision.

Your response to his post is so unjustified as to raise doubt that his was even the post you intended to reply to.

Wilson has resigned. Does the civil law system in Missouri allow for a wrongful death lawsuit?

Don't think so and even if it did, the evidence is massively in favor of Wilson. Seriously just look at the physical evidence. There's a good analysis of it here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014/11/28/the-physical-evidence-in-the-michael-brown-case-supported-the-officer/

Brown was wounded in the hand from very close range and his DNA was found in the car AND ON WILSON'S GUN, demonstrating he did go after Wilson's gun.
The sequence of blood splatters shows that he was indeed running toward Wilson when he was shot.
The fatal shot was to the top of the head, indicating Brown was tilted forward (like he was running) when he was killed. The other hits would not have been incapacitating.
(among other things)

Any prosecution would be a slam-dunk acquittal and no lawsuit could possibly succeed.

Who would have thought a thug would have attacked a police officer? Is this bizarro world?
