The store owner hasn’t a snowball’s chance in a blast furnace of getting acts of domestic terrorism investigated by the government, not if they’re committed by blacks with Holder still in office, and Obama in charge overall.

Molotov cocktails and shots fired on public streets where crowds are gathered do, in fact, fall under the definition of domestic terrorism, as defined by the USA PATRIOT ACT:

(Pub. L. No. 107-52). A person engages in domestic terrorism if they engage in an act "dangerous to human life” that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion.

In Ferguson, the Molotov cocktails and live ammunition, were dangerous to human life. The people throwing them and shooting guns among the civilian population, were trying to coerce them into further rioting and mayhem, this to influence the policy of the police and prosecutor into arresting Wilson.

That fits the definition. But under the US Government Interagency Domestic Terrorism Operations Plan, the Attorney General is responsible for implementation of policies and actions directed at domestic terrorist acts. And for criminal prosecution of those acts. And to implement FBI on-scene response to those domestic terrorist acts. And though the present AG was in Ferguson when some of these acts of domestic terrorism were being committed in Ferguson, Holder was more interested in smoozing with the Brown family, and posing for photos with other black residents and cops and politicians – ignoring what was going on under his nose.

This is all too sad and depressing to discuss further online. I will take the conversation to my recliner, along with a bottle of Makers Mark, and watch the last few innings of the Angels/Kansas City baseball playoff game. :N11

I have been having a bit of fun with the "Citizen Blogger Journalists" who put up live-streams of the "protests" at Ferguson. Jumped up activists themselves, with little more than phone camera and a free streaming account. It is all part of the Ferguson Safari experience. Inane chat, often seemingly forgetting that they are broadcasting, let alone pretending to be "journalists". STREAMING is becoming increasingly popular, anybody with a phone can join in. There is already a "class structure" most amateurs, but some having delusions of grandeur. Obvious example is "Argus News Now"

Ferguson Police Are Still Locking Up Mike Brown Protesters, Even In Broad Daylight
Posted: 10/02/2014 5:16 pm EDT Updated: 2 hours ago
Mariah Stewart

FERGUSON, Mo. -- Nearly two months after police officer Darren Wilson gunned down unarmed teenager Michael Brown in this St. Louis suburb, protesters calling for Wilson's prosecution are still regularly being locked up by police, even when they are just standing on a public sidewalk in the middle of the day.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said this week that a miscommunication led to the arrest of peaceful protesters during daytime hours during the height of the demonstrations in mid-August. But now that the Ferguson Police Department is back in charge of day-to-day operations -- and as much of the national media has disappeared -- police seem to be continuing a policy of "catch and release" that demonstrators believe is designed to discourage protests.

Here are the stories of four of the individuals who were arrested over the weekend.

Ferguson Police Are Still Locking Up Mike Brown Protesters


Glad to hear it. I've been too busy to read much of anything. Is the hug-a-thug policy coming to an end or are the arrests anomalies?

It seems so far the PTB have been in the first category. Even though shooting at police officers, throwing Molotov cocktails, surrounding and pounding on car, taunting and provoking police officers, harassing law abiding citizens, setting fires, looting, standing in the middle of the street, disrupting traffic, beating people, and so on, gets you a warm embrace from the US Attorney General (Resigned and soon to hit the speaking circuit?), thug behavior is all still a crime.

Start enforcing the law folks and stop bowing to the ideology of appeasement.

In the words of Winston Churchill "There is no greater mistake than to suppose that platitudes, smooth words, and timid policies offer a path to safety.”

I want to know when the St. Louis PD and Ferguson are going to investigate Shaun King. IMHO he manufactured this latest business with the Grand Jury in an effort to get McCollough removed. This was a set up no doubt..too many ironies to ignore (New job at the Dailykos etc)

Good article today at St. Louis Post-Dispatch about Sgt. Harry Dilworth, one of the few Ferguson Police Department’s African- American officers, and his observations on events following the shooting of Michael Brown, which are more ‘blue’ then ‘black.’

He says he and other black officers, from the Missouri Highway Patrol and the St. Louis County Police assigned to the riot filled streets after the shooting, received more insults then the white officers -- taunts that continue to be hurled at him on his shifts. Recently driving past a protester holding a sign that read “Stop Killing Us” the sergeant’s response was: “We are not killing you; you are killing yourselves… I want to tell them to wake up! And look at exactly what the problem really is! Look at the statistics. The number of officer-involved shootings is relatively low. I stand a better chance of being killed by you.”

Worth reading I think, and his comment about the ‘waving hand’ at the end is classic…

One of the videos's posted has a young woman complaining about how Officer Wilson would not let her wash her eye's out with milk after she was tear gassed. I suspect they will be crawling out of the woodwork with Officer Wilson "horror" stories. The crowd of instigators and "wronged" folks, simply has zero credibility in my opinion.



Is the young woman referring to a use of tear gas that occurred at some time before the shooting of Michael Brown?

Because Officer Wilson would not have been on hand for any subsequent use.

Unless she means a different officer with the same last name.

Ferguson City Officials Brace For Violence If Darren Wilson Is Not Indicted
By Robert Gehl
October 3, 2014

Image

If the rumors are true and there is no indictment of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown, city officials are making plans for violent unrest.

According to St. Louis Public Radio, Ferguson is preparing for “all possible outcomes” of the grand jury’s investigation into the death of the 18-year old.

“I’m just being real. If there’s no indictment and there’s an evacuation situation, then we need to be prepared for that,” city spokesman Devin James told SLPR. “If there is an indictment and there’s celebratory unrest, we need to be prepared for that. The city and the law enforcement agencies are looking at all scenarios.”

If violence does break out, James said they would have to alert residents to either “hunker down or get out.” They’re looking at all options including evacuation plans.

The city is trying to decide whether to use robo-calling, e-mails, text messages or simply telling media what actions need to be taken.

No doubt the police are getting prepared as well.

RE: Kidnapping Peaceful Demonstrators
Need more info to assess the vid.
Like what time did it happen?
And what transpired before?

Are there city ordinances that limit where and when and for how long you can loiter on public streets!
Do you need a permit to demonstrate on public streets in Ferguson?
Did the cops earlier warn those there to disperse?

Context is important to know what's happening.
Like with Ray Rice - excluding the 'before' and 'during' distorts the 'after.'

This poll was posted a while ago. I didn't link to it because its from MSNBC, and so skewed by their daft audience, but even so it still favors Darren Wilson. I found need to reference it to support a twitter argument and H/T American Justice for the link

http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/poll-should- ... e-arrested


Should officer Darren Wilson, who shot Michael Brown, be arrested?

RESULTS: 78% say "No"

If I have time later I will look for the video, but she claimed it happened about a month before the Michael Brown incident. It was malarky. A witch hunt and she had her pitchfork.

Black wearing blue: A Ferguson police sergeant reflects on a tough time
By St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MO) October 4, 2014 6:40 am

FERGUSON -- Seeing that a fellow African-American police officer had endured his fill of racial slurs shouted by people of his own race, Sgt. Harry Dilworth tapped the man's shoulder and took his place facing protesters.

Riots following the Aug. 9 shooting of an unarmed black teen by a white officer make it a tough time to be on the Ferguson police force -- and for Dilworth it's tougher if the person in blue happens to be black.

Most of the insults he heard on the line that day are too graphic to print. Among the more polite are "sellout" and "Uncle Tom," Dilworth said. He had stood with two other black officers, one from the Missouri Highway Patrol and one from the St. Louis County police.

"We didn't blink," he recalled in an interview this week. "We didn't say anything to them. We stood there and took it. We all talked about it afterwards. I said, 'Don't address ignorance with ignorance.'

"But it's hard to hear that from the minority group that you are representing ... You tune it out, but psychologically you're dealing with scars. Some officers are going to see counselors. We're not robots."

Dilworth believes their hard facade is fueling some of the fire.

Police records show what Darren Wilson was doing shortly before Brown shooting
by Craig Cheatham / News 4 and Dan Greenwald
Posted on October 2, 2014 at 7:14 PM
Updated Thursday, Oct 2 at 7:15 PM

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV.com) – Newly-obtained police records show what Darren Wilson was doing before he shot and killed Michael Brown, Jr.

An hour and a half before the shooting, records indicate Wilson was at the Park Ridge apartments, not far from the shooting scene, responding to a call from a woman who told police a man threatened to shoot her.

“I remember the lady talking to the police, she was giving a description of the guy,” said resident Dana Murphy.

Murphy told News 4 the suspect left the area. Police said the victim declined to file charges. Ferguson police say the Park Ridge apartments and the streets surrounding it are a hot spot for crime and receive a lot of police attention. Records show police had been repeatedly called to the apartment complexes of Park Ridge, and Canfield Green, the complex where Wilson shot Brown.

According to records, 15 minutes after Wilson left the Park Ridge apartments, he received a sick call for a baby who police believe had trouble breathing while coughing. After responding to that call, Wilson drove up to Brown, and confronted him about walking in the street before the fatal shooting.

Since the shooting, residents have told News 4 stories about police officers harassing citizens for minor issues.

I think the dumbest thing he did was leave the portion of the recorded call up where the dispatcher says they have been watching all the social media and video streams. THAT has caused them all to shut down streams. That doesn't help the police at all and leaves us bored to tears LOL

Rump, OMG the stuff you have been saying on Twitter, I am dying here. LOL You crack me the hell up!

Thanks Froggie :give

The game on twitter is to poke them with sticks. Image

A "Goal" is defined as getting them to block me lol :cool


As I tweeted, the fact that they have banned live streams is in effect an OFFICIAL announcement that the circus is NOT a "Protest". How can it be? A protest is all about being seen and getting a message to as many people as possible. The fact that they come out after midnight when there is nobody to see (apart from cops) and its dark anyway, already suggested that it was not a protest. The streaming could have been regarded as some sort of message, but now that is Verboten!!
Streaming really wasn't much cop. Low grade phone images and inane chatter is NOT much cop as "live coverage" anyway. When some incident did happen the vids were hopeless.. shaky camera, in the dark, by dopes who seem to lack even basic sense about where to point the camera.

Anarchy and Left-Wing Activists Planning To Swarm Ferguson October 10th – 13th

Grand Central Moonbats Traveling To Ferguson

Every hard core left-wing, communist, socialist and racist group is coordinating to advance upon Ferguson Missouri this weekend. However, the problem the professional agitators might run into is if they are met by the real boys of the hood who are smart enough to know professional opportunists when they are noticed.
