Ferguson decision is in -- NO INDICTMENT

[ChristianAnarchist]

Bottom line:

Brown was a criminal who assaulted and stole as he pleased. He assaulted a cop and tried to take his gun. Got shot. //

All the BS protesting would have happened anyway. This has nothing to do with Brown. Looters gonna loot.

And Goons gonna goon...

That's fine, and you can think of it in principle, but the black "experience" in America is one that finds they're disproportionately targeted and discriminated against. Like I said previously, if you simply don't want to talk about racism for whatever reason, that's fine. But to pretend racism doesn't exist or play a role/impact the life of a person who's "guilty" of having the wrong skin color. Your average black person who has seen this first-hand isn't going to think about the "principle," they're going to (correctly) see that there's a long history of abuse on those of color. They're going to (again, correctly) realize that latent and systemic racism has been dealing them an even worse hand. I think it's more productive to address both the racist element AND the overall principle. They're not mutually exclusive.

I already acknowledged that the "black experience" is littered with police abuse and long standing outrages at the hands of government.

Where you and differ is that I don't think black folks are idiots that cannot understand and handle freedom, especially Second Amendment freedoms, because of that.

Its always seems to be the true racists that go around pointing and screaming calling others racist the loudest.



No, I don't. Most of those cops still carry off duy when they look just like some mundane. The point is people see blacks with guns just as much as whites, I think you are using outdated perceptions or just biased yourself.

Ahh, the classic "you're the one talking about racism so you're the real racist!" line of thought. You'd do well to throw away that fallacy.

Sounds like the people in the silver car stopped and bailed out. They got one, and are still looking for one. Chopper going up to relieve the one that is getting ready to land.

They caught the other guy from the silver car.

I don't think they're idiots either. Never implied that. With that specific line of reasoning, you'd have to imply I think all people are idiots because I believe everyone needs to be educated. This discussion is specific to the black community and their experiences. I do however, realize the real impact social conditioning and years of subjugation can have on people. We'll have to agree to disagree on that point.

No, I think its your own comments that have exposed you this evening.

Fair enough, don't want to derail the thread any further anyways.

I thought you wanted to leave everyone alone. Abolish the state my ass. You're about as sincere about that as Marx was. Without the state, you'd have no mechanism to force you views upon others.

Or better yet, re-educated...amiright?

Apparently there are private security details out there. There was one in a parking lot around a business, and some on the roofs of buildings. Police will ride up to them and call it in, dispatch will tell them if they are authorized.


2 individuals identified from the crowd to be throwing bricks at the police line.



People with molotovs and guns around the Ferguson PD.


A number of residents have been calling in criminal trespassing on their property.

I bet they have enough sense to steer clear of the 'good ol' boy' areas, and....there's no way these are spontaneous.

They're just the same, only biased toward another race.
