1. He going to have to do a tap dance on the head of a needle pin...

… given the situation.

[Baclava]

10. he slammed both the cops and the looters

telling everyone to calm the fuck down

[iandhr]

11. Sums up my views well.

The cops are out of control and the looters are scum.

[KansDem]

2. Never though I'd live to see the day...

...when dire situations in the mid-east and mid-west require equal consideration.

[ballyhoo]

3. You beat me to it: Iraq and Ferguson. Peas in an elongated pod.

[CJCRANE]

4. It's bullies vs underdogs the whole world over

and quite often the bullies are supported by the same people.

[ballyhoo]

5. Yes. We are near the bullies' end-game: total control of everything. And

the least of these shall start the fight back. We must join them quickly. When the 1 per-centers see it is costing them money, they will change.

[CJCRANE]

8. Indeed. The rest of the world can see what's going on.

I just hope enough Americans and Westerners wake up in time to say NO to the bullies in America, in Europe, in Ukraine, in Gaza, in the ME and elsewhere.

We will not be their toy soldiers to play with. We will not believe their lies and BS.

[Divernan]

6. 12:36 - wonder what's causing the delay?

[ANewEra]

7. Still waiting...

Not a very good choice of event to delay...
