There is zero that the DOJ can do to right the injustice in Ferguson

Last edited Tue Nov 25, 2014, 01:00 PM - Edit history (2)

Look, people, these things happen. We have federal civil rights laws on the books, but they can't really be used.

The protesters need to understand this, as do those on the Left. And they must understand that taking advantage of the situation to steal stuff will be met with justifiable force by brave police officers who risk their lives every day. Can you imagine, just hassling someone for walking in the street could lead to taunting! That just ain't right.

Regards,

TWM

Note: this post is sarcasm. More accurately, it's parody - it's what I expect the Third Way's actual response will be to the situation, i.e., to do nothing, then bemaon their inability to do anything. They've already waned the protesters and praised the police.

1. Nobody is saying that here, Manny.

Try writing what you really think, instead of pretending to be someone else. You most often get it wrong when you pretend to be someone you're not. This is not a good day for satirical shit-stirring, I think.
