I’d label the scribbling from this indecent piece of Leftist scum troll-bait, but based on his past writing, he really means it
The media reaction to the rioting has thus far been uniformly ridiculous. As much as we all love AutoZone and Doritos, hysterically sobbing at the sight of the former being burned and the latter being looted is a tad over the top. A clip of bullets was unloaded into an unarmed black boy and then his killer was ushered through some sort of cop-loving kangaroo court, after all. Some charred car refreshers are hardly something to get worked up about in moments like these. […]
Rioting that occurs in response to gross police misconduct and criminal system abuses imposes costs on doing those things. It signals to police authorities that they risk this sort of destructive mayhem if they continue on like this. All else equal, this should reduce the amount of police misconduct as criminal justice authorities take precautions to prevent the next Ferguson.
Let’s not let the facts of the case — like the forensics — that supported Darren Wilson’s account and the eye witness testimony that the person responsible for Michael Brown’s demise was Michael Brown. Truth and Justice are to be discarded when supporting The Narrative …
Of course, chilling police authorities has other impacts beyond saved lives. If we can scare police departments away from being so needlessly aggressive towards blacks, we can reduce incarceration, which commands enormous amounts of economic resources. And that is not even to mention the hedonic value that blacks, and people of color more generally, would get out of not being constantly in fear of police oppression. […]
Thus far, the rioting question has been focused on whether it’s good or bad, as if those are the only two answers. From an economic perspective, surely the question is whether the level of rioting is optimal: Do the potential benefits of Ferguson rioting as a police sanctioning tool outweigh its immediate wealth destruction? I suspect it does and, in fact, that the current rioting level is likely economically suboptimal.
I guess if we want to “discourge” Matt’s bad behavior in writing such drivel, we should just go burn down his house.
After “liberating” his flat screen & computer.
We can let him keep his dog-eared copy of My affair with Uncle Joe Stalin by Walter Duranty.
It’s only fair.
That’s some industrial grade idjit, there.
i still think they should bring futurama back
not that i ever watched
just cause so many people miss it
> from being so needlessly aggressive towards blacks, <
i really should put together that video of "unarmed black teens" playing the "knock out game"
It’s responses such as Bruenig’s which demonstrate the wisdom of a) making a complete record of everything likely to be admitted at a trial on the merits and b) releasing that record to the public. There can be no other conclusion that the Bruenigs of the world are proceeding in bad faith. Sadly, they know that they can lie with impunity because most people will not take the time to compare Bob McCulloch’s statement with the record.
Greetings:
I’m thinking that he missed his second year in (hopefully) college and his daddy hasn’t found the time to drive the sophomoric out of him yet.
My own father had an observation that he used rather successfully in that regard during my second year in high school. If I remember correctly, it went, “You’re getting too smart for your years.”
i don’t think the graphic atop drudge’s page is anywhere near as dramatic as he seems to think
but i might could be jaded
I just saw an embarrassing segment on Fox where the question was whether Mike Brown’s step dad shouting “Burn this bitch down!” upon finding out the grand jury would not indict officer Wilson contributed to the riots and arsons later that night and whether he was legally culpable for the consequences of his outburst as an illegal public incitement to violence and lawlessness.
This was presented as an emotional moment that may not have literally been a demand for fires in the streets so much as an expression of disgust for the corrupt prosecution system.
The people advocating for him were DEAD SILENT when Sarah Palin using a cross hair like targeting symbol on her political campaign map was being held as directly (and perhaps intentionally if covertly) responsible for a nut (who was a democrat) shooting Gabrielle Giffords in the head at a grocery store event and killing six other people.
The press is rotten and stupid and vile.
Saw this from Mister Ace:
…which struck me as kinda “fundamentally unserious”.
Modern speech is marked not by its focus on the statement itself but on the act of making the statement, and how that act (allegedly) credits the speaker.
I take it then that Ace didn’t write that, just his numerous cats playing on the keyboard and those are just marks on the screen that kinda look like a statement.
Somebody publish this jerk’s address so his windows can get broken
for the good of the economy of course.
>}Let us now imagine that one day something in our greengrocer snaps and he stops putting up the slogans merely to ingratiate himself. He stops voting in elections he knows are a farce. He begins to say what he really thinks at political meetings. And he even finds the strength in himself to express solidarity with those whom his conscience commands him to support. In this revolt the greengrocer steps out of living within the lie. He rejects the ritual and breaks the rules of the game. He discovers once more his suppressed identity and dignity. He gives his freedom a concrete significance. His revolt is an attempt to live within the truth. . . .
{15}The bill is not long in coming. He will be relieved of his post as manager of the shop and transferred to the warehouse. His pay will be reduced. His hopes for a holiday in Bulgaria will evaporate. His children’s access to higher education will be threatened. His superiors will harass him and his fellow workers will wonder about him. Most of those who apply these sanctions, however, will not do so from any authentic inner conviction but simply under pressure from conditions, the same conditions that once pressured the greengrocer to display the official slogans. They will persecute the greengrocer either because it is expected of them, or to demonstrate their loyalty, or simply as part of the general panorama, to which belongs an awareness that this is how situations of this sort are dealt with, that this, in fact, is how things are always done, particularly if one is not to become suspect oneself. The executors, therefore, behave essentially like everyone else, to a greater or lesser degree: as components of the post-totalitarian system, as agents of its automatism, as petty instruments of the social auto-totality.
{16}Thus the power structure, through the agency of those who carry out the sanctions, those anonymous components of the system, will spew the greengrocer from its mouth. ….<

Let’s take a moment to examine this bit of drivel:
Two things: First, the police in Ferguson are chilled, so the hedonic value of chilling police authority lies in wanton theft and destruction. Second, lives wouldn’t be saved in the aggregate. Take the present case, for example. Had Officer Wilson hesitated to act because his authority to act had been chilled, he’d be dead and Mike Brown would be sitting in jail facing murder charges.
it’s hard to believe that’s just two things
Just imagine the economic benefits to be realized from Matt Bruenig being maimed for life! All that money to be spent on his medical treatments and corrective surgeries! All those jobs to be created and/or saved!
C’mon Matt, take one for the team! It’s for The Greater Good!

Hey! Speaking of turkeys. Would you like to see a roasted whole turkey marinated in buttermilk overnight?
It is the tastiest, moistest, easiest, fastest most insouciantly roasted. whole turkey ever. Not basted at all, it is not so prettily evenly browned, but la la la, I don’t care. I mean, what I’m going to do, show it off and photograph it or something? Wait.
i want to eat that turkey off kimmy k’s

That the people of color would now be in fear of ‘oppression’ writ large (e.g. rape, murder, assault, etc.) from the decidedly less predictable – and no-longer-incarcerated – black thugs is but a minor issue.
There’s no burden too great for some poor darkie to bear, if it means that a white journalist can feel better about himself. They’re magical, dontcha know.
It only takes a small percentage of the population not obeying basic civil laws for a society to break down. Having those who are currently incarcerated for non-drug offenses running free, plus the obvious fact that this would signal that laws will not be enforced, would be enough for anarchy. And, of course, a cry for the state to clamp down.
Which is what the progressives want.
As with the Zimmerman/Martin affair of 2012 there is a message being sent. You should think hard about being anywhere where you might have to defend yourself or others with deadly force. Neighborhood Watch or cop, don’t get too involved, too pro-active, just look away and your life will continue down its nice path. De Blasio in NYC has set up things in a similar fashion for the PD there.
Detroit went down a similar road after the 1967 riots and with the ascension of Coleman Young. Before too long the city limits became like a national border with cops from the surrounding cities not allowed to cross them in hot pursuit of criminals who had committed felonies and knew they just had to make the city line to be home free.
This is to add to what Cranky-D said just above. The left sees chaos as their friend, a comrade who never fails to deliver their fix of power. Too the corruption that goes with it makes for some nice living as things slide downhill.
Rotherham the model.
This only applies if you are white, or “white hispanic,” and shoot a black guy. Black guys shooting anyone get a free pass because they don’t know any better and are oppressed and stuff.
“We can let him keep his dog-eared copy of My affair with Uncle Joe Stalin by Walter Duranty.”
But first use a magic marker to black out the most pornographic parts. That would really hurt him.

I didn’t even read what the bloke wrote, la la la, I only read the non-italisized words in regular letters that you wrote, la la la, because I am a very serious person. And I figure, don’t give malevolent people any of the oxygen they require to persist in their malfeasance . Just be miserable and unread, starved of attention. Filters, you see. I get the all the pure clean refreshing water with none of the skank dirty unsanitized douche-nozzle. Allowing me to remain a charming fellow.
