There is zero that the DOJ can do to right the injustice in Ferguson
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025867266
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is tone-deaf racial shit-stirring, using the body of Michael Brown to make an attempt to divide DUers. This particular OP has a long history of racial posts, as referenced in the thread. Also noteworthy....until this OP and the other OP last night, Manny, or Third-Way Manny could not be bothered to post an OP in support of Michael Brown.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Nov 25, 2014, 11:46 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That's Manny in his Third Way Manny persona; he's being facetious. Next time, TWM, don't forget the sarcasm tag or else I will vote to hide it.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I disagree with the alerter. I don't think this is 'tone deaf shit-stirring'.
And I don't think we can make Manny (or anyone) support things that they may or may not support just because it appears to be the prevailing opinion.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Sorry little Turd Wayer- You picked the wrong day to put up a post praising police brutality.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Puts Manny in a new light. No more Manny for me, after today. I don't like what he's saying but I'll defend his right to say it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: i don't like what this poster is writing and find it to be very insensitive. But i don't believe in hiding differing opinions.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was juror #5. Didn't realize it might be sarcasm... Hope that it was.

You are especially full of fail today. I'll take 10 of Manny's bombs over your best thread.

A lot of us agree with fumesucker. Manny's few failures are better than a most other posts here....

The DOJ would normally let the local authorities proceed first. It's not unusual

You know, I refrained from reading that thread because I have three hides against Third-Way Manny.
