    And the race hustlers are responsible as well as democrats who keep the myth of black victimization going just to get votes.

    And now the police have more of a reason to abuse citizens all over the country. I do not see how we move forward. Perhaps someone who was alive in the 60's can explain how society moved past all the civil unrest.

    Cute. How are things in Chicago you ask? Same ol' same ol'

    Last Week’s Totals (Sun – Sat)
    Shot & Killed: 12
    Shot & Wounded: 41
    Total Shot: 53
    Total Homicides: 12


    But nobody cares. If the blacks in Chicago are upset with their high murders then it must suck for them because the MSM doesn't give it enough importance to even mention it.

    Yes that is exactly what I am talking about: race baiting and the faux victimization.

    In protest of these despicable acts of police brutality, the people of Baltimore have taken to the streets to demand justice.

    Look at all these people killed by police the last several days. Most of the first 10 are white people. That's in the past three days.

    The people who are wholly responsible for the continuing series of police terrorism and riots are the members of the SCOTUS who gave police the power to harass people at will by engaging in stop and frisks. Their intent was to make people, especially blacks, subject to the whims and abuse of power of cops, especially white cops. It was a reversion to the system of slave patrols where the slave patrol posses chased down and executed runaway slaves.

    Oppressed people are finally getting tired of being harassed and intimidated so expect further incidents across the land unless the basic policy of oppression is reduced or eliminated.

    It's hard for the country to claim that it's the champion of freedom, democracy, and human rights to the world when it treats part of its citizenry as third class citizens. It was that very conflict that caused the country to dump its Jim Crow policies in the 60s. It's past time for another positive evolution in race relations.

    Stop and frisk has done more to reduce crime than any progressive program.

    The problem is that the minority of the "sides" in this political issue are willing to result to violence and chaos instead of acting civil. And because that chaos is so significant(looting, arson, the like) it gets news coverage because riots. The near-solo depiction of the riots lead the belief that those
    rioters represent the whole ideology of DEMOCRAT ANIMALS LIFELESS WELFARE KINGS/QUEENS, when they sure as hell don't. Opponents of the "Progressives" fight back in kind with their own mindless insults, seeing the rioters as the usual cancer of the Democratic party. It's disgusting how widespread racism and bigotry is spread across the Internet. Just look at the comment sections on Fox, Yahoo, and heck even this thread.

    I'm not saying everyone does this of course, but the lack of civility to debate is a huge problem in a lot of places everywhere. But that's probably because many think fighting is a lot more entertaining than debates.

    Maybe it's time for race relations to end in this country. Maybe those '3rd class citizens' would be happier elsewhere. I think that's the best solution for everyone.

    You seem to worry more about the "civility" of those discussing the events going on then those doing the criminal acts.

    Wasn't it just a few years ago every time we turned on the news we heard about how every single member of the Tea Party was a racist, bigot, homophobe, religious nut, etc etc? All because a handful out of the thousands and thousands of people at rallies had some goofy sign? Now we see democrats burning down cities and it's racist to call them out on it? Hmmm...

    Yeah...which is why I said it's just as an ideological problem as it is a political, simply the tendency to form an opinion on a topic the second you see it, and not bothering to look in at least a little bit.

    As usual the rightwing response is to just start killing US citizens. I don't understand it myself. People are pissed off because, wait is this over the guy shot in the back 8 times or the guy whose spine was severed? Sorry, with enough people being killed by cops it's hard to keep the names and locations straight. Anyway point is that you all refuse to even look at the system, immediately blame the person killed by the cops, justify the police use of force that results in death for the most minor of things, and now want protesters to be murdered in the street. Yet you guys are supposed to be the moral authority in this country. Jesus Christ...

    So . . . you were cautioning leftists when they called the Tea Party Movement racist simply because a tiny handful of people said some stupid things at rallies?

    As usual the leftwing response is to excuse rioting and beat downs of innocents . . . at least it's all predictable.

    But we've been 'looking into' this problem for decades, and it's getting worse. It's no longer an opinion, it's a fact. Well over 90% of blacks vote democrat. Blacks make up 13% of the population, but commit 50% of violent crime (and when you throw out the elderly, crippled, toddlers, etc, it's more like 5 or 6% committing that much crime). And there is no other race of people, minority or majority in this country that riots and loots like blacks. Those are facts, not opinions. A lot of people are getting sick of it too, and it has the potential to get very ugly

    No, I'm saying both sides are in the wrong because they let the few crazies on the other side paint the picture of the whole opponent.

    No, the protestors are fine. It's the thugs committing multiple felonies, violently attacking innocent people, and causing millions of dollars of damage (that we'll be paying for BTW) that we want put down.

    This is Occupy on steroids

    I wonder why Sharpton isn't there whipping the flames, or Obama on TV saying this could be my son?

    Our nation is melting folks, and when you lose the enforcement of law, the social breakdown begins.

    I think she meant that in their efforts to give protesters space to express themselves, they unwittingly also provided the space necessary for people who wanted to destroy to take advantage.

    She is saying it as a regretful side-effect. How she expressed that, however, is emblematic of how well she controlled this mob. She should have come down on them fast and hard, but she did not.

    No, the picture painted was the left loon media and it was swallowed in whole by their liberal lemming followers.

    I would bet America is getting a better look at who is destroying our society, and it certainly isn't the TEA Party

    It's because of the oppression African Americans faced in America through previous centuries(and you easily argue it happens today). They were systematically put down into an socioeconomic pit by our ancestors that will probably take another century to climb out of.

    There's plenty of Republican bias in the media as well, just watch Fox News or One America News.

    I'd be very curious at how many rioters are registered to vote, let alone actually vote! They certainly don't seem like the rest of the leftwingers I see, but the right wingers calling for US citizens to be killed, well that's just another day. Only difference is they want them killed without trial, on US soil, and from the posters I've been reading here indiscriminately. Don't even have to be looting just have to be in the street past dusk or in some cases living in the city when it gets carpet bombed (have we gone up to nuking a US city yet or will chemical warfare come first? Wait, guarantee we'll deploy chemical weapons, we always do). I certainly don't support the rioters, and I think they are doing their cause a great disservice. At the same time they have no reason to expect justice as police officers are rarely punished. Usually whatever it was is justified or swept under the rug.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Well at least want the killing of US citizens to be more limited than other posters. I completely disagree and think we have a legal system for a reason, but then again that's kinda the point these rioters are making; it's a bit one sided when it comes to the citizen vs the police.

    I agree. ABC, CBS, NBC/MSNBC, CNN all have been left-aligned for quite some time now and they collectively pushed the left-generated propaganda meme that the Tea Party movement was filled with racists. Against that overwhelming media force the counter truth being promoted by Fox News essentially was shrugged away. That same leftist media egged on racial tensions and the outbreak of rioting in such places as Ferguson and now Baltimore by implying that such scum buckets were wholly justified in going feral. Then too we know that George Soros has actually funded a great number of these leftist radical activist groups that have moved into place to help foment unrest and violence.

    :shock:

    They're not animals because they're black, FFS. They're animals because they've been poisoned by liberalism.
