I asked you if your position seriously is that the massive majority of the black community in Ferguson is on the MB side? Not neutral and waiting for facts or pro cop - but on the MB side?

The few I've spoken with directly are first, embarrassed by the rioting and looting. They think it reinforces negative stereotypes. And, second, they're unsure of what happened. My wife's secretary was in tears as she apologized to their SRO for what he went through working in Ferguson. But don't slow down, prick. Keep baiting.

Same for me. The universal theme is and was embarrassment and waiting on facts to come out for the couple of people I know. There are a lot of good hard working people there of both races.

And sadly, these people don't even know what kind of hell will descend upon them when they show up. Anybody caught on streets after dark will be fricked beyond any comprehension.
