Political Appeasement – Ferguson Missouri Grants Amnesty For Arrest Warrants….Posted on September 14, 2014 by sundance
One of the more remarkable things witnessed last week in Ferguson Missouri was the September 9th city council meeting. A lengthy line of speakers took turns with the microphone casting aspersions toward the Mayor, and city council members.
Those who watched the meeting noticed a similar demand from two-thirds of the speakers: “lower the cost of breaking the law“.
One angry young chap stood up to say he was offended by a fine he received ($200) for spitting on a police officer. In his view the fine was limiting his constitutional freedoms. According to the heavily tattooed citizen: “I don’t have all my freedoms n shit, that’s fuckin’ bullshit”, he proclaimed.
Dozens of residents spoke of their outstanding arrest warrants which come as a result of their running afoul of municipal ordinances, city rules, or police laws. Apparently hundreds of local rioters were additionally incensed at the tickets they encountered while hurling Molotov cocktails and bricks.
Several participants asked, well, actually ‘demanded’ the City Council pardon their transgressions, “or else”. The “or else” was explained by many audience members as their intention to burn down the city if they didn’t get amnesty. The pardon team was supported by some law school students who arrived to support the amnesty demand.
Apparently the mob strategy worked, and the Ferguson City Council decided it was better to let the lawlessness reign than to attempt control over a societal construct who will burn down the town if they do not get their way.
