magley64 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm still trying to figure out how all of these protesters get so much time off of work. My boss would never go for it.Graveyard shift, gives you lots of time to protest at times when people in office jobs are at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oh Magz....sometimes.... Golly boss, I might be late to work tonight...there are going to be some really neat-o deals at The Best Buy later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Anyone think it ever was about Michael brown? Perhaps, at first it was. Now, just take a look at the organizations involved and the 'targets' of their anger. Boeing?!? Private citizens? Local merchants? Very racist. Sigh....Also their continued claims of non-violence which are patently untrue as they even attack their own for being the wrong color. Maybe they should all have a seat on the 'Group W' bench. - (Arlo reference) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 News this morning said guns sales are sky high and CHL classes are full through the new year. Residents are preparing for another Los Angeles. Just in time for Christmas, too. Yay, a holiday of fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Residents are preparing for another Los Angeles. Just in time for Christmas, too. This isn't Rodney King though. I don't understand people who WANT it to be that... There was video evidence of police brutality against Rodney King. Not only is comparable evidence nonexistent in the Michael Brown scenario, but it would appear that the evidence that does exist corroborates the officer's story. If I lived in Ferguson, I'd be boarding up my windows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lived in Ferguson, I'd be boarding up my windows... That's exactly it. IT isn't even close to Rodney King, so I don't get why all these people think it is. Oh and love the comments about time off "work" suppose if the gov't actually started asking for ID's and running them through the system they would find about 90% of the people there were on federal aid? Maybe 95%? Maybe 98% Total joke is what it is. Oh and this HAS to be about Mikey Brown, the title of the thread says so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowcel Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 It's a good time to own a gun shop and / or a lumber shop in the Ferguson area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 It doesn't have to be justified. I'd be boarding the windows and locking down the house, just in case.A person is smart. People are not.For sure, if I was within several hundred miles I probably would consider all that, and stocking up on ammo/supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat6183 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I actually told my wife yesterday that today we would be sitting down and going over plans for the upcoming events, not just this, but holidays etc. and all that ties into this. Mainly regarding plans surrounding our home, travels with our son, shopping etc. We will be discussing who will be handling what firearms on person, which person, when, where they will be in the home, etc. Yeah we're in OH, but still, just another reason to review all of this. Also, this isn't meant to be racist at all, but I have a serious question. Are individuals who are not white in Ferguson area also concerned? Speaking of ones who are not rioting, looting, etc. I know there are white people also joining the masses, are those people worried? I mean basically if you are not rioting, looting, and partaking in illegal activity are they all worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a systemic problem. Brown and Wilson were just the spark that lit the powder keg of disdain, contempt, and mistrust that the people have for the legal representatives and officials in their state. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Its all of that, and about military-grade police hardware which angers crowds because it signals a disconnect between police and citizens.

These people clearly resent the power structure in place. Again, Michael brown was just the catalyst for this reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
