Not one fucking word about how the KKK better behave, only warnings to the protestors.

Last edited Mon Nov 24, 2014, 09:21 PM - Edit history (1)



I don't care if Gov Nixon is a dem. He is a piece of shit that has not done anything to help the situation.

ON EDIT - reading thru some of the responses, I've come to the conclusion that some people don't realize what the KKK has planned for Ferguson. So - here is a link if you are interested. The KKK flyer is towards the middle.

Threatening violence is NOT a peaceful protest to those that are defending them as protesters.
But if you want to call them protesters, knock yourself out.
Sorry if I sound snippy - I have NO patience for these hooded thugs.

Seems to me that you just decided he did without considering that should the KKK show up they are also protesters. Frankly, I doubt they'll show up. They've always been cowards.

I hope they indict Darren, though sadly I don't have a lot of faith. To much corruption in Ferguson, so many racist cops and so much hate.

Public officials have to treat everyone the same, else they risk provoking the bad behavior you probably claim you don't want.

(I understand that this now makes me a KKK sympathizer to the simpleminded. Pfft.)

that the people who are vowing to be peaceful are being warned not to resort to violence.

I agree... Nixon is an idiot. Calling a state of emergency before anything happened is ludicrous. Being prepared for all contingencies is smart but parading all this force in front of the protesters is not.

Seems like with all the build-up, it's a beacon for outside agitators who just want to stir up trouble.

I hope I'm wrong.

I don't blame the police in being prepared because it is likely there will be outside agitators They need to be ready for all contingencies. I just hate how they ramped up the fear. It just makes things worse.

Maybe they will bring an indictment against him, but I'm not holding my breath. I thought Zimmerman was going to be convicted.

Let's hope peace prevails.

them off. White anarchists from Chicago, as reported here in an article on DU by the local elected official who was arrested early on in the protests.

I just don't want them to protest in the dark, too much can be gotten away in the nighttime by troublemakers of that sort who hide in the shadows, start a ruckus and then clear out to leave the peaceful people to suffer. A lot of people can get hurt that way.

to the civil rights marches of the early 60s. That's what they called MLK and every other freedom rider that came in to protest the injustice of Jim Crow laws.

Those "outside agitators" are AMERICANS who are protesting the murder of a black kid for the sin of being black and the lack of justice FOR that murder. They are putting their asses on the line and facing the tear gas, rubber and (possibly) real bullets, AND threats from the KKK to "hang them with the chimps" in order to protest that murder. They are NOT "outside agitators". They are AMERICANS.

I mean the people who treat situations like this as an excuse to lock and load and cause trouble. I'd be shocked if every KKK member who shows up tonight is from Ferguson.

I'm sorry I forgot the historical significance of that phrase.

Let's assume there are riots, and that the national Guard isn't found at arms footing.

Who gets the blame if not the Governor?
