Hood Mentality:  Never waste an opportunity to completely destroy your community and then blame it on oppression.

I'm not posting in this thread either.

I have a bad record recently, though not as part of a deliberate strategy. Started that burn pit thread that got locked, though I only posted out of interest. Also got moderated in-game today for asking a Ferguson-related question.

As it happens, it was the most significant, enjoyable and memorable thing which happened during the whole time I was online. Couldn't buy a kill, and my stick was acting up.

Watts, Rodney King, O.J. Simpson, and now Ferguson! Interesting pattern, isn't it?

They would have rioted and looted either way. It's a sad self fulfilling prophecy

In Savannah, in the last week, there has been three children shot during black on black gun fire exchanges.  Two are dead and the third okay now.  No protest there.

Well that certainly didn't last long 

It doesn't matter which side of this people stand on, how does destroying a parts store and a parking lot full of cars help anything? Morons

The sad thing is that people believe "those" people are actually doing this because of what happened. They could care less, this is just an excuse for anarchy. One thing I've learned over the years is society is always on a knife edge between peace and chaos. Remember Katrina? Doesn't matter the circumstances that started, they don't care about that at all.

The media needs to stop calling the rioters 'protesters'.  When you loot and set fire to businesses you are no longer 'protesting'.

Whats the lesson to be learned here?

1) Next time you go to the store to "grab" some smokes and candy, walk home on the sidewalk?

or

2) Cops should not shoot people with there hands up?

    All Good citizens should obey the law in a civilized society.  Prayers for the innocent in Ferguson.

you are part of the problem.  The "eye witnesses" admitted they did not see his hands up and they just reported what they ASSUMED happened. However,  the physical evidence including the thugs blood over 16 feet behind him proves that he was indeed charging at the officer and there were sone witness accounts that confimed that. This was not an innocent boy with his hands up. This was a big thug charging an offericer that he had already punched the officer through his car window and attempted to grab the officers gun. Look at the evidence not the media's report. I was appalled at CNN's race baiting even after the DA went over the evidence.

This whole thing is sad.

I'm reminded of a book by Adam Gopnik (a staff writer for The New Yorker),  Angels and Ages: A Short Book About Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life

http://www.amazon.com/Angels-Ages-Darwin-Lincoln-Modern/dp/B004J8HY3U/

If anyone has the time, it is a short book, you may want to read it.  It is an interesting read.  One theme he goes over is his ideas on Abraham Lincoln's ideas on law and order.  Short of the long of it is that when you don't have a legal process that everyone see as fair you end up with uncivil behavior (Lincoln's view).

I hope that the unrest in Ferguson comes to an end very soon (Today).
