Riots in Missouri - Part 1

[ChrisBaleBatman]

You've gotta wonder, what were they thinking realeasing this information at this hour...when you had the Ferguson police force complaining months ago about protesters at night.

Going by their logic, why not release this information in the day rather than at night? Why complain about the cable news outlets when releasing this information at this time puts you right in their prime time wheelhouse?

There's some odd decisions, even on the release of this.

I heard a Chinese restaurant was destroyed. That **** is inexcusable and does nothing for their cause.

I bet you probably wouldn't have been a big fan of the Civil Rights Movement either.

I wouldn't compare this to the civil rights movement... that was a lot worse..

 

[Howlett]

And here we go again with the cops and tear gas. It may as well be ****ing 1960s again.

I bet you probably wouldn't have been a big fan of the Civil Rights Movement either.

Maybe don't break police car windows and loot businesses?

Peaceful protest, may ass.

All of your posts read like someone's angry grandma on Facebook.

Not everyone protesting is being violent/destructive. In fact, the majority are probably not. The people breaking stuff an flipping cars are in the wrong, but when you say "the protesters" like they are all one and the same, you lose all credibility.

Again, OVERALL, this protest movement did NOT succeed peacefully, that's the problem!

It does NOT matter that some were peaceful, but OVERALL, it FAILED!

Pretty sure the protesters don't have tear gas.

No, but reports say that some protesters are shooting guns into the air. And possibly a police car being flipped, or in the process....but no, they don't have tear gas.

To some of us, if you're not black, you're white.

I think Governor Nixon and the way they released this information, they pretty much put out a call for all trolls who want to simply be involved in causing chaos.

I really think it was a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy with how the state handled things.

how typical...

Great attitude.

I will say this. I feel for the businesses that got their windows busted in. They didn't do anything wrong. It doesn't matter what the protest is about. It's not justifiable. The golden rule is such a simple concept. It doesn't even matter if you are a member of Brown's family.

Ok, Grandma, what's your point? A few idiots are acting wrongfully.

Let's use your logic in another setting: since a small percentage of drivers drive unsafely, drivers in general are terrible and shouldn't be allowed to drive.

A Chinese restaurant?!! Dammit!!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Why did they do this at night by the way? Seems so stupid.

They attacked police (FIRST) with other means!

What is amazing is how they have avoided shooting these evil protest.

You really need to calm down....seriously, chill.

Silly name calling is not going to further the discussion here, let's refrain from that please.

Aggression being met with aggression? Of course.

Oh, don't you know? This is SJH's schtick. He likes to sensationalize his posts when he's discussing a dramatic news event.

Remind me if I ever go to a protest to buy a gas mask

you cant use logic on people who have already made up their minds that everyone involved are "criminals"

Just like the title of this thread is GROSSLY misleading.

There are no riots, there are police attacking protesters who are FED UP with being shot and killed for sport.

but most of you here, like people everywhere have the Mystic Veil of Privilege that pretty much stops you from seeing that.

Fixed.

At complete lack of any sound judgement.

Burning police car on MSNBC.

Make that a full head gas mask. The tear gas really stings the eyes.

There are riots. And these riots are a direct response to this continuous BS that allows minorities to be beaten or gunned down by the "right people". Whether they be cops or not. Sometimes people get angry. It isn't right, but God do I understand it when you see what people get away with.
