I went to journalism school. Unfortunately, there was no class on How to Give a Damn.

on Al Sharpton's program - CHrisy Hayes and others are there and so are lots of Black, White and Hispanic folks - they're sharing out wings and playing some good music

I sense the memo said to fuel the race violence and fear mongering.

a good solid hour and I did not see any white person rioting. Maybe they were wearing masks or something but they weren't in the front line. The area was predominantly black, it makes good sense that there wouldn't be any white person in the riot.

Oh well, I am just glad the whole rioting is over.

Like these fine folks who were just expressing their first amendment right by pointing guns at Police and BLM to "protect" land thief cliven bundy but but but... Mr. Bundy wasnt stealing land, he was ...using land that he had no legal right to for personal use which is a big difference from what those darn CVS looters were doing.



Sooo peaceful and non violent I tells ya.













Can you imagine if hundreds of heavily armed black people gathered in Ferguson and pointed guns at police like the Mooch Militia did?

...I'm thinking we'd see the first military airstrike in the US although its not the first time the police has dropped a bomb on Black activists http://antiwar.com/blog/2013/05/13/28-years-ago-the-philadelphia-police-department-bombed-and-burned-a-city-block/
