Ferguson

[RMAC757]

Since at least one of the events being protested is predicated on an outright lie and the other highly questionable... Not many already give two squirts of piss what they are currently protesting. Therefore, their next stupid protest will cared about even less ("watered down").


BTW... IBTL

I disagree, protests in almost every major city would indicate that your wrong about "Not many giving a piss". How many did we get out to support our 2A rights? Your very active new guy.

No, the liberal BLACK author of that piece you quoted is fighting against people saying "all lives matter" because she feels whitey doesn't really believe it. In other words, she's tired of hearing it as well, because she doesn't believe it's said sincerely and it's overused. Which is exactly what makes it a platitude. No, she would prefer people said only "black lives matter".

But, if all "black lives matter", why aren't blacks in an uproar over the killings of blacks by blacks in inner cities like Chicago and Detroit? It's because of blatant hypocrisy, that's why. "Black lives matter" only when they're killed by white police officers, apparently. She never mentions the hundreds, perhaps thousands (I don't know the number), of blacks killed by blacks in the hood and elsewhere. And "black lives matter" certainly isn't the case when the black person killed is a police officer: Officer Kevin Jordan was killed by a white man earlier this year in Georgia. I don't recall ever hearing his name mentioned by Obama (guess Officer Jordan didn't look like a son Obama might've had) or Holder. I don't recall Sharpton or Jackson mentioning his name either. As someone else stated, apparently Officer Jordan was on the wrong side of the Thin Blue Line.



I find that statement quite contradictory. So, apparently, all lives DON'T matter if you're willing to kill in self-defense. Which is basically what I said except that I said I could kill a terrorist and not feel any remorse whatsoever...because to me the life of a terrorist doesn't matter at all.

You are one angry dude.

Protesting exactly WHAT in "every major city"? Please. They didn't get the result they WANTED in Ferguson, so the GJ system is now being indicted in the court of public (mostly uneducated and definitely emotion driven) opinion. I would venture a guess that a large majority of the protesters in the majority of the "major cities" you cite couldn't even articulate clearly what they are protesting, if they were pulled aside and asked to explain what/why they are protesting.

Hell...Most of them probably couldn't even remember Michael Brown's name.

You keep throwing out "new guy" in regards to Big John. At least he's joined the forum and actually contributed to multiple facets of the forum. You only seem to make an appearance when certain "topics" near and dear to your heart come up. Reminds me of Pancho....

the protest organized were by the communist party, shartlatons action network and IIRC, The Minister himself Farrakan. Lots of money is being funneled to these "protest" groups. Just as big outside money was dumped in WA for I-594. Full color posters, full color flyers. This isn't some local OUTRAGE, It's well organized, well financed.


since you may have glossed over this link last time i posted it.

$10 - 15 a pop for how many of these, which just happen to be seen at every protest nationwide. Or to be more accurate. Large URBAN / DEMOCRAT Strongholds. Denver had some Greeley, not even, same for longmont etc.

When one can come to terms who the movers behind this one are, one can see what the real issue is. IMO that's making sure one stays relevant in society today. Not to mention the $$$ that comes with it.

This thread ran it's course about 30 pages ago, now all the additional discussion is about as impactfull as additional protesting would be. Knowing that, I'll post anyway.

I think that what harms a protest MOST, is not having a clear message. What is the aim of the protest? What would protesters like to see accomplished? If protesters are just angry, it leaves the rest of the world to project their own manifestations of the protester's purpose (see the last 30 pages of posts), leaving the observers looking just as bad as the protesters themselves. No one wins and nothing is accomplished but property destruction and mind-numbing media coverage. We saw something similar with all the Occupy protests and lack of leaders. A lot of people gathered, and it seemed like every other person had different things they were upset about. As with all public gatherings, criminals show up to take advantage of the situation. It's the nature of people to take advantage of mass confusion. To project the worst of what happened to the entire protest is immature at best. No reason to act like dicks to each other and argue about stuff like looters that only showed up to cause destruction. A big enough protest, regardless of the cause (or lack thereof) would attract criminals.
