This has all the potential in the world to become the worst racial incident and rioting since the Rodney King riots in LA.

These people are having training sessions, which isn't new. But damn, they are intent on making this an epic cluster. Telling the protestors in training that if they aren't prepared to be arrested they should step back.

Ferguson Protestors Prepare

These riots will prove one important thing: Modern Racism is rooted in rationality and real-world experience, not blind hatred.

I tell you one thing, the days after the No True Bill is announced will make the first go around look like a tea party.

It's nice that a Baptist preacher from Boston has time to go to Missouri, and possibly get arrested.

Speaking of Tea Parties... What these assholes do will get whitewashed while what tent do will be everything the Tea Party has been accused of or worse.


Frankly, I hope that the cops go Chicago in '68 on them. Normal protesters are one thing, but these are professional troublemakers and anarchists.

The planned protests for Black Friday should be interesting. Standing and blocking entrances to malls and stores? I'd love to see a protestor get in the way of mama going for that video game for her boy, or in deddy's path for that cheap flat screen. That'll get ugly fast.

And I'm not saying racism isn't alive and well, or that racial profiling and police brutality don't exist. But you don't make your case by baiting cops and inciting violence.

i feel like the protest-worthy part of this deal, if any, is over. Actually I am very sure I'm right about that.

I'm sure there are cops in that group. Law enforcement is preparing as well.

There is nothing worth protesting really. It's mostly been outside agitators for a while.

That is not true. You are speaking out of ignorance, I'm guessing.

FWIW, Bill Russell called Boston "the most racist city in America"

If you understand the importance of that insight, you will understand why white folks below the mason-dixon line think the way they do, and why white folks in Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts think the way they do. There are no racists in marshmellow land, because there is no way to experience certain things.

This reads alot like "If you live around alot of black people, you can't help but be racist bc they suck." Am I interpreting this correctly?

at this point, the evidence is so overwhelming that it is a justified shooting, it's unreal protests can even be had.

Dismiss the whole thing.

I for one will give less fricks than I did in the second half of LSU game last night.
