Ferguson...What the F***!?!?!?!

[Caminofeld]

I'm sure everyone has heard about the situation in Missouri by now...

Watching the news this morning and they're talking about the rioting, looting, and associated criminal activity like it's expected and excusable...and talking about Police brutality because they used NON-LETHAL means to disperse an angry mob that was throwing rocks, molotov cocktails, and even shooting at them. I can't believe how certain parts of society think that it's appropriate to hurt/kill someone or ruin someone's business/livelihood because they're upset. IMHO I think the Police showed a great deal of restraint in the face of potentially lethal activity directed towards them while they are trying to protect the community...all over a situation that hasn't even been fully investigated yet. Then the "general public" is outraged because the Officer's name hasn't been released yet...even though the department as a whole and other Police Officers in the area have been receiving death threats. The only fact of the whole case is that there is one reliable witness...who has suffered numerous facial injuries from the assault that led to him shooting an unarmed person. Guess what: When an Officer is confronted by multiple attackers his life is in danger...and if he gives up his weapon then other innocent people could be hurt or killed. I wasn't there, but it sounds like he did what he had to in order to protect himself and the public...and it sounds like the rest of the PD are doing exactly what they are supposed to by protecting the community as a whole. I know there are some bad cops out there, but it's unfair to just assume that every time a white cop shoots a black person that it is a racial injustice. The only "eyewitness" reports were from people involved in the incident who could quite possibly be exaggerating or lying to avoid prosecution or for publicity.

What's even more disturbing is that now reports of racially motivated assaults directly related to this situation are coming in from major cities all over the US. Rather than using their reporting and influence to quell the situation, it seems the media is sensationalizing/exaggerating everything and making it worse.

Sorry for the rant, I just can't stand that this behavior is considered "normal" and nobody is putting any blame on the criminals using the situation as an excuse to do whatever they please under the guise of being an "oppressed minority expressing outrage over another case of racial injustice" (CNN news)...Just like the looting, killing, and raping during Katrina and the Rodney King riots.

And just so nobody thinks I'm being "racist", I share the same disdain for soccer hooligans and the Canadians who rioted over losing a stupid hockey game.

What we need is "Real Change". Not Obama change......

[6speedthumper]

This is only getting worse. If Obama were a man, and a leader, he'd get up in front of all his black brothers and sisters, and tell them all to grow up and move on. Instead, he says completely stupid things like, "that could have been me", when discussing the Treyvon Martin case. No, that "couldn't have been you" Mr. Obama. You are not an undereducated juvenile delinquent, that is coveedr with tattoos and wearing gang colors. Him saying that is no different then me saying it, when I don't lead the same life that Treyvon was leading. Regardless of my color.

I live in an area where there are a lot of black people. I'd venture to guess that 65% are on some sort of government assistance, and look for free services everywhere they go. A friend of ours told us a story yesterday about a small convenience store/gas station, owned and operated by an Indian man. A black person came in and used his EBT card to pay with. The Indian fellow asked (innocently) what type of card was it. The black man replied, "it's a government card." "Government card?" the Indian man asked. "Yeah," says the black man, "I'm entitled to it because the white man owes me for what they did to my ancestors." Are you freakin serious! That crap ended 150 years ago, and YOUR ancestors were sold to the whites BY YOUR OWN PEOPLE!!!! So guess what, the were owned, therefore were made to work. They were given a roof over their head, clothes on their back, and food in their stomachs. At the end of their servitude they were freed, and many given a tract of land. Heck, even during the Revolutionary War any black man that fought for the United States was given his freedom in exchange for fighting for the rebels.

They literally have everything handed to them, and yet they still cry that they are not being treated as equals. Well, if you'd grow up and evolve like the rest of the human race, maybe we would treat you like equals instead of the Baboons having sh!t fights in the streets, that you are. Slavery ended 150 years ago, you fought for your civil rights in the 60's, and won. You have the same opportunities as anyone else, of ANY race, in this nation. Yet you decide to pop out babies, collect WIC, Welfare, and government aid because you feel that you are owed something. Sounds to me like you have it pretty G-D good to me.

In regards to any situation that involves a white person killing a black person, they immediately cry racism. And get away with it! How many times have white people been killed by black people, and the white race riots in the streets, cries racism, and goes on a rampage??? None that I can think of in time I've been on this earth!! And, if the whites did just that, it'd be such a big "no no" because we'd be seen as being still so racist against the blacks. Do you think a white person could go to court after getting stopped by a black police officer, and claim that the officer singled him out because he is white, and therefore the officer was being racist? He!l no, that wouldn't work at all. If anything, the white person would get some additional charges slapped against him. But alas, it is a one way street. Black people get away with it all the time.

If the whites are so bad, why not go back to Africa?? After all, it's YOUR native land. I hear the genocide over there would probably be child's play for the getto gang thugs! You've got it damn good here in this country, but you still expect the whites to kiss your as$es. Incase you haven't noticed, the whites are now the minority, and no one from the time of slavery is alive. Black or white, they are all dead and buried. No one has any idea of what that time of our country was like. No one. No damn history book can teach you what the first hand experiences were like during our countries infancy.

Even though our country is no longer in it's infancy, there are still some not so good people out there that use slave labor of illegal immigrants. You want in the country illegally, no problem! For you to do that, all you need to do is sign your life away for about ten years, working in a sweat shop, living in filth, and you can be in the USA. Wow! Talk about a deal in a half!

In closing, I was not brought up a racist, or to disrespect black people, or anyone for that matter. If someone is genuinely a hard working, respectful, well spoken, good person, they have my respect no matter their race. However, with the people I have to deal with where I live (hopefully not living here that much longer) I have been quickly becoming a racist. I have no more tolerance for these people. I am not kissing your rear end. I am not doing work for you for free, simply because you try to finagle a free service because you are "entitled". My tolerance for anyone that is ignorant, a free loader, or just an a-hole is at an all time low. Hopefully I can manage to get out of this place before race riots start.

^^^ Now there's some racism. Pathetic rant 6speed. Hopefully somebody erases that trash. I won't quote the blatant racism because I don't want to repeat it.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/08/15...bbery-suspect/

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/p...michael-brown/

Apparently Mr. Brown (the victim) was allegedly involved in a "strong arm" robbery just prior to his encounter with the pooolice. Reports say that Brown was not involved with police as a suspect in the robbery, but only the cops knew that, Brown didn't. (put your common sense thinking caps on kiddies ) Now, if you had just robbed a store and were walking down the street and the cops stopped you what would you be thinking? Oh sh!t!!! they caught me!!! His buddy being the only witness, that was possibly with him for the robbery, is the one telling us what "really" happened??

I also read that Mr. Brown weighed in at 6'3 290 lbs. Not a small man by any stretch.

Now that this has come out, I give it a day or two before the " Mah beeby was ternin hiz life around! He jus gots a job and was goonna git his GED so he could play football in skool and gits a skolarship"

Here is a quote from one of the stories:

"I am incensed," Laura Keys, 50, told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I can't believe this is the tactic they are using, bringing up a robbery to make the victim look like he was the person who created this whole mess."

Right there is your W--T--F?????

I also heard that a lady called in to a radio show and said that the victim was going for the officers gun to make sure the cop didn't shoot him. http://theunleashedreviewboard.files.../10/umwhat.gif

I work with the public everyday selling service. I can honestly say that color or race is all subjective to how a person acts. We have muslim indians that will beat the snot out of an estimate for hours to get a lower quote. We have white people that do the same but do not have their priorities straight at all...ie fix a radio before they will fix their bald tires and ready to fall out ball joints. We have colored people that just go with the flow and pay the bill no questions asked.

But......I can honesy say that there is far more colored folks come in driving a 2011 car that get a government assisted check to do a 400$ brake job on the tax payers bill. Then they come in on a state of the art 4x6" cell phone decked head to toe in designer clothes and adorned with 1000's $ in tattoos.
Does this make them bad people? Maybe not. But more than any other ethnic culture I work with , they overwhelmingly get more help than anybody from outside sources.
Then they drive home to the govt subsidized housing that is neatly manicured , plowed and upkept on taxpayer funds. All this while I see other folks come in and out with a 1998 buick century that we hold checks for the repairs.:

If certain ethnicity's want to be respected and treated as equals then their community as a whole needs to set a marginally better example. Just like 2 trike riders can ruin being welcome to a track or park over belligerent behavior so can a small portion of ethnics do for their entire race.
It is rampant in any genre of people. Most of it goes back to piss poor parenting which can largely be attributed to a corporate greed driven society that forces over stressed parents to divorce or get hooked on drugs or just generally work themselves sick to make ends meet...all while the dengenrate kids get nkno correction and are taught to be selfish punks by a effd up media system.

That is hitting the nail on the head Rob.

I am by no means racist, however, there is a certain ethnicity that has time and time again shown to me over my 34 years that they are indeed selfish, greed driven, rude, crude, incompassionate animals. That doesn't mean they all get judged by me right off the bat, everyone has a chance with me regardless of race, creed, or sex. It just so happens that there is a pattern of those who continually disappoint me as human beings. Using the lawful death of a person of their own race as an excuse to steal, smash, pillage, and rape completely innocent people tells you the nature of these people. They are animals IMO, but not all of them. Just a large portion, again, from my own personal experience. It's just unfortunate for those people of color who get a bad rap because of their brothers and sisters.

I can't speak to this particular event at all, as the most I know of it is from Bryan's thread and this one. I've said before, I don't watch the news. Someone did mention the media doing a helluva job of spinning this and possibly even being compassionate. Is anyone surprised by this? Just a hint, because 99% of you haven't figured this out yet- The TV and radio are mind control and tell you what to think and do have major influence on you, your actions, and everyone around you, especially the news. Facebook is no good for people either, very few social media sources are. You all would be amazed at what you can think when you're at the controls.

So now instead of being consumed by this event that 99.9% of you can have absolutely no effect on whatsoever, what say you go do some gardening, or have a beer with the neighbor, or throw a wrench on the trike, or go outside and pick some flowers for your 'ol lady and maybe even give her a massage (then the pickle tickle), or go for a hike, or surprise your kid with a trip to the ice cream stand, or fire off a doobie and laugh with your buddies, or watch a lecture on quantum physics, or call an old friend, or go fishing, or flush your government approved chemicals not fit for human consumption down the terlett, or do a maniacal road trip on a street legal trike, or go to the beach, or something that you can enjoy, and pay attention while you're doing it. People are trained to be consumed by the negative and they don't even realize it, then they're too jaded to enjoy the good times. Your government wants you to be concerned about this and watch their perpetual coverage as it vomits out of the idiot box, all the while drilling into your head that you have "restless leg syndrome" so you should get some pills for that, and you have a sudden urge for processed meat accented with chemicals, or that you need a new car, which you probably do because everything now is built with a "shutter life" (Google it) instead of being built to last like things used to be made in America. Take the phone out of your face and realize that life is happening right in front of you. If you currently have riot gear on, or if your home is being pillaged, or if your car is being flipped on its roof, then you should by all means be concerned with what is happening, well, wherever right now (I don't know where this is going on). If it doesn't involve you, be what the people who are involved with wish they could be- Be someone who doesn't need to be concerned.

Please, tell me how it is pathetic. Please, tell me what is untrue about what goes on today. Please, tell me why I should not be fed up with any people that fall into these categories, regardless of their race.

If you read my last paragraph you'd have clearly read that I was not raised a racist, but that I am quickly becoming one. I am not proud of that by any means, but it is the category that I am beginning to fall under because of how I fell. And it's not just racism against the blacks, there are plenty of white people that I just don't have the tolerance for anymore. The area I live in has become a very government assisted area, and people of all races are looking for their entitlement. I don't know where you live, so maybe you don't have to deal with these things day in and day out like I have. And, for the record, I am only one of many people that are fed up with all I stated above. There are plenty of times I have conversations with friends and customers every week about this very subject(s). Just to be clear, several of those customers are black and are just as displeased with the behavior of others. Additionally, I do have friends that come from different back grounds and races. Did I not say that if someone is genuinely a good, hard working, respectful, well spoken, down to earth, honest person, that they have my respect?? I have not hesitated to defend a "non white person", nor will I in the future, if it is someone that I am on good terms with. So, am I truly racist? Or just someone sick and tired of certain people? What about the story I shared? That actually did happen, it's not a fictional story, it's a true account. I suppose that fellow with the EBT card wasn't being racist.


Once again, in closing, I have NEVER before in my life felt the way I do now. I don't go around openly sharing my views and opinions. I don't go to clan meetings. I don't have a white sheet with hood. I don't start confrontations with a group of African Americans blasting their rap music by blasting Metallica, or Skynard, or Country, etc... Come to the area I live in, spend a few weeks or more, and experience these things for yourself.

I dig everything you said here, Fabio.

[El Camexican]

To watch the crowds rally around the memory of this POS and demand fair treatment from law enforcement is a joke. Do they believe that Big Mike was some sort of pillar of his community? What Big Mike was is a product of this same rioting community; a rotten, lawless, entitled POS with no respect for his fellow man, in short a bipedal animal. Watch the tape of Big Mike doing his thing at the legal age of 18 just before the was shot and try to imagine him surrendering like a helpless child when he was shot.

My thoughts are with Officer Wilson and his family.

[350for350]

I don't have to deal with all of this every day living in my rural area. I do try to judge people by their merits, but I have a hard time with kids who haven't heard of suspenders and go around with their pants hanging half way off. Other things like that make me judge someone before I even talk to them. Like 6speed, I wasn't raised as a racist. I, too, am feeling that way more and more all the time. What gets me is some one like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton on tv telling everyone who will listen that I am racist because I'm white and I have wronged black people everywhere! Just like Trayvon Martin's family, Michael Brown's family is asking for the violence to stop. They are not condoning this at all. From what I've heard, the rioters and looters aren't even from Ferguson. They just go there to cause problems. As for their actions, there's no way at all that what they're doing can help their "cause". Why are people "protesting" in different cities? How can that help? Can they influence what goes on in Ferguson? NO! As for the police, if I had an angry mob in front of me, I'd want riot gear, armored vehicles (not tanks like some try to claim), semi-automatic weapons, and anything else I think may help to save my life or my fellow officers" lives.

It really does suck that we are feeling as we are about people. Oh yeah, two of the biggest bigots right there, Sharpton and Jackson, and the black community looks up to them like they are gods. It's okay for them, or any black person, to shout/say/speak racial obscenities at/to/about white people, but that too is a one way street. Ever watch black stand up comics? LOADS of racial "jokes" about white people. Most of certain black comedians skit involves it and it makes me sick. Those that cry racist, generally are racist. Otherwise, why would you cry it?

You mentioned the rioting and protesting in different cities. It reminds me of the Treyvon case (again) when the blacks were protesting "anti-white" signs and other things related to white people, because of his death. To top it off, Zimmerman wasn't even Caucasian! At least, not completely. Kinda makes you feel their view point is anyone not black, is white... And therefore are against African Americans. Another thing that happened about the same time as the Treyvon trial was a married white couple that was shot to death by several black men, while exiting a mall in New Jersey. Never did I see the white community rallying, or better yet, Obama addressing the nation by saying, "that could have been Michelle and I." Interesting isn't it? He can speculate that he could have been Treyvon, but he and Michelle couldn't have been that poor married, white, couple in Jersey... Now, maybe that's reading too much into it, but, I honestly believe had the couple been black, it's highly probable he could have said that.

I just wish everyone could grow up and move past it all. Still amazes me we are the dominant species on earth.
