Yes, we know you are a white dude and you are down with your homies. You are one bad ass mother*******. You were one of the badasses that kicked Reginald Denny and you were right at the center of New Orleans to loot and destroy during Katrina too, right? Tell us something new that we do not know about. <eyes rolling upward>


I was simply conveying a point that the media singles out the black people looting in situations like this. It would be nice if they were fair and showed everyone involved, but we all know that will never happen.

This is from the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, it's how the media works 99/100 times.

Look like Brown beat the cop before the reaper took his ass to hell! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/2...en-before-shooting-michael-brown-says-source/
Meh. "Source" says a lot of stuff. Wilson's name and picture are already out; given that it is completely in the interests of Wilson, the Ferguson Police Department, justice and the greater Ferguson community's safety and peace of mind to produce this evidence and all interests served by anonymity are now moot, I don't see why such evidence - if it exists - remains a matter of anonymous sources.

I'm sorry, are you claiming there's a contingent of white people looting in Ferguson over this?

Of course there are, you won't see video or mentions of it on CNN though. Rioting isn't exclusive to one ethnicity of people. The rioting in MO will mirror much of what happened in LA during the Rodney King riots. And there were groups of everyone rioting there, I saw it 1st hand. But the news didn't feel the need to report on all the others then and apparently they don't now either.

I saw a lot of signs of "Hand Up, Don't Shoot" but no signs of "Hands Up, Don't Loot".


Where are the Civil Rights of those small business owners? Where are the throughout investigations of blatant Civil Rights violations for those minority shops/businesses owners?
That still does not trump the right of citizen of the United States!!

that's BS......I just love the way you add.....you won`t see this mentioned on CNN......of course you won`t see it mentioned.....because it is BS!! It`s easy to spread rumors and not provide links...

That's easy to answer -- They still have to prep the anonymous source and pick the person who will become the anonymous source...

You mean like the rumor the cop was almost KO'ed and suffered massive injuries. But you can see him on video taken just after the shooting happened looking unscathed and walking around normally? Apparently you are under the thinking that 100% of the rioters in MO are black, so it's pointless for me to try to say anything here.

I did riot in LA in the 90's, and I watched the news report on black people rioting. I saw large groups of whites, I guess MO could be different but I seriously doubt it. Mind you, I didn't say it was 50/50, hell it could be 90/10 but there are still plenty of caucasian people in MO tearing up buildings and looting. Times like these are an excuse for poor people to act a fool.

You do realize that you're accusing NBC, who is PAYING Al Sharpton to push the narrative that Brown was gunned down in cold blooded murder and that this is common practice, is simultaneously conspiring to make black people look bad when "everyone's doing it"?

But only one group had a racist mind set on killing another race, that is blacks targeting and killing 50 innocent whites. Most of those whites were likely Rodney King sympathizers but we'll never know since they are dead. In modern day society, no other race in America does that. It's just blacks. It's like a portion of the black community is still stuck in 1960s. We have a Black president and Black guy head of the DOJ. When does the mentality that the white man is still singling out and only targeting blacks end?

Could be.

"Johnny, you're going to be our anonymous source on this one. You witnessed the whole event, and -"

"Oh HELL no!"

"Um, okay. Susan, we'll need you to -"

"Hey, leave me out of this!"

"But - fine. Raul -"

"No hablo Engles, senior."

"Ja-"

"Uh-uh!"

Not saying this didn't happen exactly like "source" says, but the longer we go without concrete evidence the more skeptical I become. Even at the very least, if every single mitigating factor anonymously given is G-d's Gospel, these people have a hell of a lot to answer, as much of this rioting could have been forestalled by evidence indicating Wilson's innocence. And the longer we go without it, the less believable such evidence becomes - assuming it isn't simply a computer recreation if and when it comes.

I can completely understand some need for secrecy until Wilson's name and picture came out, but anything mitigating should have been immediately released after that. And mitigating evidence should have been presented as early as possible, to the extent it could have been while preserving Wilson's safety. This isn't simply conspiracy talk; the longer people believe something with strong emotional triggers, the more vested in it they become.

That's an oddly worded post considering that until the sixties, white people targeting and killing black people was vastly more common than the reverse, and often with tacit government protection in the South. I doubt the mentality in question ends while we implicitly deny that within my lifetime, the reverse was the accepted order.

Wrong. Fact is, the media shouldn't be covering this stupid story in the first place.

I saw the video on CNN, some female took it from her apartment window. What I saw didn't jive with what "sources" have came out saying happened to him. Was there a physical altercation between the 2? Possibly, maybe even probably but it wasn't what the "sources" have painted. The the shooting could have still well been justified, if he attacked the officer even if he didn't beat him up. Just attempting it is reason enough for a justified shot in situation like this. But I have to question if even that happened with the BS story that's been released. Until I see proof of the damage I'm calling shens, I'm not saying it's bullshit, but without proof I'm definitely not going to just believe sources that aren't even being released.

But only one group had a racist mind set on killing another race, that is blacks targeting and killing 50 innocent whites.

I'm a bit confused here, and you saying the KKK and Skinheads are fairy tales? You said blacks are the only race that does that, I saw a CNN story about a black person who was found lynched, and it was by a white person. I'm not talking about in the 40 or 50's, this was in 2014.

Nope, I haven't heard about any lynching. When I turn on my 6 o'clock news, all I see are blacks destroying their community.

You wouldn't see anything on that video, imo.

It's not good enough, and it's too soon.

Even if all he got was a mild black eye, it wouldn't even have developed yet.

The ambulance that was called for at 12:04 apparently also took Wilson to the hospital, so Wilson left the scene pretty soon after the shooting.

Unnamed source is complete bullshit. If cop was beaten badly a single picture would corroborate. So where is it? We already know what the cop looks like.

Just like Fox News to publish garbage.

What happened to that broken orbital we were told about?

Cops spreading a lot of lies.

FWIW, I read a piece quoting the SLCPD chief that basically said they never release evidence that they are putting before the GJ, and they would not in this case either.

Edit: I believe it was the DA.

Can't handle the facts, get out of the debate kitchen. Still no signs? Yup, nothing, nada, zip, nothing. Again, if they really try to stop the looting, then why so many businesses were looted and destroyed over several days?


Robbery? You mean like specific targeted non black businesses to attack, loot, burn, and destroy via social media networks are not Civil Right violations? Uh huh.

Here is a quote about Civil Rights:



Since you like to quiz, let play a little quiz. Do you think those protesters and looters/rioters have jobs? They surely have a lot and lot of time to protest, loot, burn, and destroy businesses in the last few days. Must be nice to have such cushy jobs with so much time off with pay. :D

I didn't see robbing a store in you own quote.

You are so adept at foaming at the mount non-sequiturs you can't answer your own questions.

When believers want to believe they will believe anything that supports their belief! Moses did indeed come down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments! It's a fact! It says so in the bible, just like the fox story is fact! Some anonymous source said so!


The animal instinct is to protect the herd, I understand this, all groups do this, I just thought that one of the human traits that makes us superior was the ability to use logic and reasoning to overcome our basic instincts.

I guess some people are more primative than others.
