Mr President, I'll give you credit for trying.

he should brought in tankers of purple drank. i think it calms you down. i think.
Ridgerunner:
The irony of his message juxtaposed against the reality of what's actually happening was not lost on me.
BigJay:
The hooligans were gonna tear shit up no matter what the verdict.
gettheledout:
Pent up rage wins, decency loses, and the hooligans got exactly the verdict they wanted. Imagine if the officer had been indicted. It would have been like a huge balloon deflating.
ggt:
^so true

Ferguson is NOT about racism, it's about Police abusing their powers in horrific ways and too often. For Police it DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BLACK OR WHITE, THEY WILL SHOOT YOU ANYWAYS. You have to act if you don't want you, your children, relatives or friends to be one of those 1000 people who are killed by US police EVERY year.
Maples:
HAND UP!!! DONT SHOOT!!!

Being a bleeding heart liberal and reading a lot of the typical bullshit claims from the right like the bogus orbital fractured eye socket claim, I was sure the kid was shot in cold blood, but it's time to let it go. The Grand Jury spoke. It's a jury of regular people who heard evidence not available to the rest of us. The system worked and we should honor it, else we risk falling into anarchy and real lawlessness that will threaten our entire society. So let it go, the same way we all let the OJ verdict go. Time to move on.
Riverrat:
And the jury was made up of both blacks and whites so there can't be the claim of it was racist.
Nakkh:
Congrats Furgites on burning down your own town...
Fleedle:
Of course weave focuses on the bullshit claims by the right while conveniently ignoring the bullshit claims by the left. He was a gentle giant, he was running away, got shot in the back, had his hands up etc etc.
Homer:
river there where 3 blacks and 8 whites. just an fyi.
BuckFutter:
I knew I could come here to make sense of it all.....
weave:
Give it a rest pussy, I just got on here and fell on my sword on the issue. You gotta give me one little consolation prize on the way down.
Homer:
fuck em, one less dead "gangsta" who really cares?

Currently on my Daily Kos update news email. Two stories stacked on top of each other. First one about how Republicans can't let go of the fact that the Benghazi investigations have found no wrong doing -- again. The other about how "facts matter" and all the ways the Ferguson grand jury failure to indict were horribly flawed. Irony?
Fleedle:
Im sure the Daily Kos will provide you with nothing but the unvarnished truth.
BigJay:
Did you notice that the protesters all seem to be having a goodt time? Whilst destroying the businesses that have investedt in their community?
Ridgerunner:
It's going to be a tough Christmas for the people who are now unable to work because they're place of employment is a heap of smoldering rubble.
Ridgerunner:
*their* (stoopid spell chk)

Did you see the free T.V.'S they got ?
Riverrat:
Homre, it was 3 blacks and 9 whites. There are 12 on a jury. But no matter what the ratio it wasn't an all white jury.
BigJay:
Am I the only one who looks at Rev Al, and thinks ifn he chokedt onna turkey bone ann dint make it to black Friday, the worldt woodt be a better place?
snippy:
