    Is the whole area burning down yet?

  2. bh says:

    Apparently there’s going to be an Obama statement?

  3. happyfeet says:

    i hope in the wake of this decision nothing bad happens to where I’m inconvenienced

  4. Of course, the rat bastard has to stick his jug ears into everything.

    Not until the next ginned-up crisis appears.

  6. sdferr says:

    Keeping crises scotched up is more tasty.

    watch where the "el" goes. don't go there.

    “The members of the grand jury acted stupidly.”

  9. sdferr says:

    ClownConYouStupidVoters understands people who think they know what they don’t know. They’re his kind o’ people.

  10. Darleen says:

    When the hell has any President come out to make statements about grand jury proceedings????

  11. Darleen says:

    “This is an issue for America”

    AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!

    baracky fatigue syndrome ho hum

    What we learn is that you shouldn’t invest money in some areas because it’s just a dumb move.

    Obama is doubling down on that.

    Next time you drive through a grand old area of a once fantastic town like Philly, Chicago, or Milwaukee and see the closed up businesses for block after block after block? Yep.

  14. newrouter says:

    ignore the “civil rights” community. no “rights” or “civil” there.

  15. sdferr says:

    ClownConYouStupidVoters says America is at fault for Michael Brown’s decision to attack a police officer, a decision ClownConYouStupidVoters makes sure to never mention (and which police officer, by implication, couldn’t possibly have been using “best practices” in his policing since he too didn’t prevent Michael Brown’s decision to attack him).

  16. bh says:

    Guy just committed a strong arm burglary while stoned.

    It’s a wonder he wasn’t shot right then.

  17. palaeomerus says:

    Shots fired, car flipped, bricks and bottles. Heck of a job Barry.

    Nothing but a meal ticket for Al and Jesse and community organizers everywhere.

    It’s awful nice no-one got cracked in the head tonight while they were looting their neighbor’s stores and burning them down. Any police violence against robbers and arsonists might send the wrong message, like that theft and arson isn’t going to be tolerated.

  20. bh says:

    Capital investment won’t be tolerated either.

    An Idle Theory: the police aren’t going to lift a finger to stop the rioters from burning down the stores and businesses in Ferguson on the principle that “Oh, so you don’t want so much of a police presence? Fine, we’re ghosts, do what you will. Oh, and good luck getting liquor, prescription drugs, or tasty chicken nuggets any time soon. Idiots.”

  22. Ernst Schreiber says:

    The store keepers and business owners in Ferguson are the ones who do want a police presence. The looter class will shamble off to the next town for their liquor and tasty chicken nuggets.

    Prescription drugs will still be sold on the street.

    All the burning and looting is just to strike out at the ….

    “[P]etty bourgeois” professions – the classic base of fascism.

    […]

    When Leon Trotsky looked at the emerging Nazi movement that mushroomed in Germany after 1929, he argued that the Brownshirt marches, parades and street violence had the effect of terrorising their opponents and giving political direction and the illusion of strength to the movement. He described this effect as “turning worms into dragons”.

    Of course the Reds had their own street gangs. Doesn’t everyone have one? No, and that’s the point. Conservatives don’t do stuff like that, at least not naturally. They have to be forced to even think it.

    Conspiracy is so ingrained in the Left they are forever mirror-imaging themselves in conservative groups who completely lack this sense of consciousness. For example, some posters at the Democratic Underground really believed members of the FreeRepublic posting board are brownshirts. It is entirely possible that many on the left actually think of the Tea Party are incipient “domestic terrorists”. They see themselves in others.

    They can’t believe that conservatives have no process for “turning worms into dragons”. Whether that is good or bad I leave to the reader. But the fact remains that “dragons” are qualitatively different from “worms”. There is no doubt about this. Worms are inhibited. Dragons have lost that key sense of restraint. Worms will trust in their elected leaders to represent them to the King. Dragons will breathe fire, such as at Ferguson.

    There is the widespread misconception that people can be radicalized by suffering. Alinsky showed this was not true. People can only be radicalized by acting on suffering. Just getting beaten over the head is never a radicalizing experience. It just always results in a headache. Fighting back, however feebly, is always radicalizing.

    The heat of emotion is only for the foot-soldiers. The leadership will be, needs to be, cold as dry ice.

    Fire up, people!

    Put that up as a post, Geoff. Wasn’t sure how to format the first section but I think it reads okay.
