Grand Jury has a verdict in Ferguson

[Angel Eyes]

Meanwhile, in Oakland CA:




"Early access" indeed.

[onions!]

That^^ reminds me.After watching video of some of the looting I had to laugh at how we/they are conditioned.Many,many times the looters break the door glass and duck under the bar when there's either a full length or just stepover glass pane right next to the door.Odd.Funny.

Rule 1 in a situation like this; once you start, don't stop.  Don't even slow down.

When I drove from San Jose to San Francisco yesterday at about 7am, the main routes were clogged (so it seemed to me; possibly normal for CA) and my GPS said "faster route available, save 15 minutes". I really wanted to get to the Golden Gate before the sun got too high so I punched "accept re-route". Let me tell you,  there was remarkably light traffic through Oakland. Of course I found out on lunch that day there were some riots in the area that night.

Someone got tired of the protests in MN and used their right foot.

Where's that Subaru thread? Their brand just changed from granola-wagon to hippy-proof protest plow.

I wonder how credible this is?

We had speculated that if they released transcripts it wouldn't be that hard to figure out who testified even if the names were redacted.

So, if true, people were so angry about one guy getting away with the murder of a young black man, that they decided to murder a young black man over it? Makes about as much sense as anything else the "protestors" have been up to.

Eh. Not saying I  up the story (I've never er heard of that site) but I see the logic. If true, that young black man was no longer a member of the group like Mike Brown. He was a race traitor.  Using treason against the group as a reason to dehumanize and kill is one of the few human behaviors that crosses all boundaries.

Makes more sense than torching the Wal-mart.

Second MN driver goes through the crowd. These guys need to just go for it if they're going to do it, not this starting and stopping low speed crap.

Far be it from me to suggest that there might be a double standard at play, but ...

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2849736/Church-attended-Michael-Brown-s-family-destroyed-Monday-night-s-protests.html

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/feds-probing-arson-michael-brown-sr-s-church-n255961

So protesters burn a dozen or so buildings, including three national auto parts stores, a national pharmacy, and a national discount store, and there hasn't been a single mention of anyone "investigating," or any mention of arsonists being arrested. But a black church gets burned during the same "protest," and it's major news and the feds are already involved. (Even though, as far as I know, arson is a state-level crime, not a federal offense.) Smells a lot like reverse discrimination to me.

And the journalist is such a dweeb that he can't even get basic facts straight.

The Missouri church attended by Michael Brown’s father and his family was one of a dozen or so buildings burned to the ground during Monday night’s protests in the wake of a grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson.

Note to Mr. McCormack: When a concrete block building has its interior damaged by fire but the building is still there for you to photograph the next day, it did not "burn to the ground."

Seems to me like any complaints about that church getting burned fall into the "pot calls kettle black" category, or "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."

Once upon a time, food stamp recipients weren't too damn lazy to even build their own pipe bombs.

They're apparently now trying to disrupt Black Friday at St Louis businesses. My question is, if they want to "get privileged whitey", shouldn't they be going to Macy's instead of Walmart?

My question is how do you tell the protestors apart from the average Black Friday walmartian? Do the protestors stand in more orderly lines or something?

They go horizontal. I would be hard-pressed not to "accidentally" step on a hand or three as I was maneuvering through that.

A white man has apparently been beaten to death by "teens" with hammers in St Louis. No hard evidence on this being related to the protests, but also no civil rights outcry about the dead white guy.
