Im not anti LEO and im not pro-looters, but the problem goes WAYYY deeper than this Michael Brown BS.
Imagine if they had a stop and frisk law in the midwest like they had in NY, white people wouldnt put up with that and would be at war with LEOs way sooner than the blacks. If you dont know about this constitution trampling law look it up....
They don't have "Stop and Frisk" in affluent white neighborhoods where there is no crime... Because... (GASP ) Crime is not a problem in those areas....... Certainly not on the scale that you find it in Harlem and Watts and other ghettos around the country.. I have a real problem with people that are prepared to use the US Constitution as a license to commit crimes. (Just like our federal government does )
Catch them the good'ol fashioned way, hard work, not by making up some new BS laws.
We make hundreds of laws every year to prevent people from breaking current laws...What a joke. |

Maybe we should go back to the old fashioned way..... when they just beat the crap out of them or shot them first and asked questions later.. Is that what you want? |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | So let me get this straight. Margaret Thatcher may be the greatest British Prime Minister in history, and was a staunch ally of the US. When she died, the Obama adminstration didn't send anyone. Is this correct? Yet they sent 3 people to this man's funeral?
Is this actually true? |

You can read the news just as well as everyone else.. You know it's true.. To Thatcher was sent former secretaries of State George Schultz and James Baker III -- as well as the charge d'affaires to the U.K. and the former U.S. ambassador.

So, I guess it's not true then, huh? I just think it sounded odd that people from this administration were sent to this man's funeral, yet nobody from this administration attended Thatcher's funeral. This was a great woman.....one of the greatest female leaders in modern history, if not THE greatest. I would have expected at least the VP or Secretary of State would have attended. By the looks of things, the Obamunists felt his death was more important, in the grand scheme of things. |

Location: I can see the end of the world from here! | It really comes down to how people think they want to live...a jungle or a zoo?
In the zoo the animals all get fed no matter what, sure...they're not really 'free', they are contained to an area & can't live a natural existance...but, they don't have to worry about it either. This is what most Americans think they want. This is whats at stake. Freedom to fail. To die because you didn't put any effort into your own survival. Blame it on the zoo keepers. Who, exactly, are they? Why do we continue to fund this madness?
Me? Hmmm...I'll take the jungle.
This entire issue is just a symptom of 'fighting the fence'. Trying to get the heck out of the grasp of the zoo keepers. It's time we supported independence & freedom while realizing that those things have a cost (hard work) and success is not guaranteed.
Don't be afraid of the jungle...it's where we find everything that has meaning.

Oh No.. It's quite true... For Monday's funeral, the White House sent two officials with the White House Office of Public Engagement as well as Broderick Johnson, chairman of the My Brother's Keeper Task Force.
However, No White House officials were part of the presidential delegation sent to Thatcher's funeral. The Brits felt snubbed by this and I have to sympathize with them... She Was, as you say, a great lady, a great leader and a great friend to our country...

Location: North Dakota | I don't care who's fault it is, the behavior of the people of Ferguson is DISGUSTING. There is NO EXCUSE to go looting innocent businesses, mobbing, setting fires, and whatever the heck else they're doing. I know not everyone is involved, there are a lot of innocent citizens being terrorized by these worthless, shameful thugs. I can almost guarantee this will be another Trayvon Martin case, where the little punk was being a threat and deserved what they had coming. But the media and idiot liberals will side with them ONLY because they're black. If they were white nobody would hear a thing. That is not equality, that is racism.

THAT is how I was raised. That we are all Americans...and that is the only distinction that I should pay attention to and take pride in. I held firm to that belief and treated all decent people the same and felt comfortable as a young white girl in a nearly all black school when I moved to Texas in the 4th grade. They were not white or black..they were my friends.
As I've grown older I have become more and more jaded and cynical. Hearing more and more hate from the black community. I wasn't raised around any white racists. But I have darn sure experienced more and more "minorities" that are openly racist twards whites. It makes me sick.
I don't know if "Black" or "White" are the accepted terms...maybe I'm supposed to say caucasian or African American...but to me there is no such thing as an "African American"...you are either African...OR you are American. Let's just stick with American. The rest shouldn't matter. |

If the policeman was black and the thug was white, what do you think would have happen then?Â
To answer your question.. No.... about the same time as the Ferguson shooting, an unarmed 20 year old white man (Dillon Taylor) was shot and killed in SLC.... a white/Hispanic shot by???? Well, they won't call him black, they just say the cop is not white. The cop also had a body camera. The cops there are being even tighter than the cops in Ferguson with the information... There have been some protests but no riots.
