I feel guilty but.....

So last night they burned Ferguson Missouri. Again. I guess it was so effective last time in affecting change.

The local race baiting rag, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, had a lovely picture of the fire storm in Ferguson on their front page this morning. Good for them, maybe they’ll get a Pulitzer for visual coverage of Ferguson rioting. Again.

Well, this is interesting. From Reuters about the Biden campaign staff.

Doesn't the District Attorney determine the severity of the crime and bail amount?

What’s your source for the Mussolini t-shirt story?

dh SAW the guys on the local tv news wearing said t-shirts!

I predict lots of race war advocates, white nationalists, anarchists, and other out of town troublemakers will be arrested. Some already have been.

The police attacked at least one peaceful demonstration that included a journalist and camera crew last night on video. Mob mentalities don't seem to favor one side.

So you don’t believe in the rule of law and trials to determine innocence or guilt. Got it. Glad that you’ve clarified that yet another supposed republican position (like fiscal responsibility) is just a stupid effing lie.

Not when people are caught red handed in the act.

I know people who live in Minneapolis who are locked and loaded to protect their homes. You can be damn sure that if the scum start hitting residential areas at least some will be shot.

The group being donated to pays the bail after its been set. I’ve seen a number of lib celebrities on Twitter donating to pay the bail of arrested “protestors.” The quotes are mine.

Chicago has essentially blocked off downtown. Access is only allowed for those who live/work in the area or have essential business. Only the Lake Shore Drive and Columbus Street bridges across the Chicago River are down. All the other bridges are still up. Public transit service is suspended downtown. I’m guessing the freeway exits to downtown are still blocked. Curfew from 9pm to 6am in effect until further notice.

So the penalty now for stealing a tv is death? I don't recall reading about any legislatures making that change. Or any of them getting rid of due process. Please correct me if I missed it.

You put me in mind of an old joke about our Midwestern Berkeley wannabe. “There was a race riot in Madison, and a few black people came to watch”.

From what I read the rioters came after the protestors left. They broke into city hall and set a fire. We had a 8 pm curfew which is why the restaurant had to close. They were pepper sprayed numerous times. Our black population is only 3%.
