Tigerpaw Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Again, Michael brown was just the catalyst for this reaction. Michael Brown was the catalyst for looting, rioting, and half-assed protesting. They want 3 things: free shit, attention, and a magic fix to their perceived injustices. Instead of a "state of emergency" reaction, all the police should take a vacation. We'll see how peaceful everyone gets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of being sympathetic, maybe you should be proactive, and help those in need. I wasn't making generalizations about the community. I was calling out the people that act like children.

Tigerpaw Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Again, nothing to do with Michael brown, a community of people who are not represented by officials in their community. Are you saying, since the majority of officials don't look like the general population, they don't(can't possibly) represent them? Are you being racist? Hmmm....if there was only a way for like minded individuals to pick someone represent their interests as a collective group.

There are some in this mess that truly feel disenfranchised. There are some that loved and miss poor young Michael. Then there are looting thugs. I guarantee those thugs aren't feeling the pain of lack of representation. They're thugs. Edited November 22, 2014 by C-bus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're thugs.And now you're getting closer to the reality of the situation. Though my guess for the percentage of those protesting for the reasons listed is probably higher than your guess, I concur with your assessment.

The tea was the problem, as in Tea Tax. The local 7/11 isn't the problem, yet it's being ransacked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local stores being looted have nothing to do with it in Ferguson. There is your difference. To try to say it is the same is asinine.

They entered places that were not their property, and stole goods that did not belong to them. Merchants lost goods in both cases. You are so wise...or... The tea was destroyed on sight, to make a political statement. All in one specific incident. Goods are being stolen in Ferguson, for personal gain. Across many different occasions. Is stealing alcohol and beauty products, from your own community, a productive way to express your distrust for an abusive police force? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
