America goes to the polls

OMG, please NO not that.  It has been bad enough up until now.  

It's like a horrible nightmare. I saw one US pundit describe her as being best known for being married to Monica Lewinski's ex-boyfriend, which just about sums up her political qualifications.

And then there's Benghazi...

Ferguson Pipe Bomb Plotters Caught In FBI Sting
As 12 jurors decide the racially charged case gripping the US, two men are arrested over a plot to detonate bombs during protests.

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of planning to detonate explosives during street protests in Ferguson, Missouri.

Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis, alleged members of the Black Panther group, were apprehended during an FBI sting and are accused of buying pipe bombs.

It is believed their attack was going to take place after a grand jury reaches a decision in the case of the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, in August.

Skirmishes have broken out in Ferguson for a second night as the town nervously awaits the verdict.

A maelstrom of rumours and unattributed reports swirl round the grand jury in what has become a social media-fed howlround of misinformation.

Quite. I occasionally glance at #ferguson; it makes #mccann look sane and reasonable. It is, however, fascinating to watch the Anons and the KKK fighting - they're both intolerant, one lot hides behind bedsheets, and the other behind plastic Chinese masks, both doubtless infiltrated by the FBI......It's a bit like watching assorted numty sects fighting, only the Anons and KKK are violent, and both are convinced they're right.

I do hope this:



The father of slain Missouri teenager Michael Brown is handing out turkeys this weekend as a grand jury deliberates whether to indict the officer who fatally shot him.

Hasn't got anything to do with this:

140 frozen turkeys stolen from Illinois market

There seems to be no explanation as to how Brown senior came into possession of a load of frozen turkeys....

The only other place could be if they were 'given' to him via someone like Al Sharpton or similar.  

You couldn't put anything past him regarding that event, Bonny.  Also, look at the spelling on his shirt.  

Yes, and the 'child saint' making a gang sign. Some nice photos of the 'child saint' floating around....



Incidentally, I haven't seen any of them 'protesting' about the rights of the tiny Asian shopkeeper the 'saint' mauled and robbed before getting into a tussle with the police?

That poor child, taken from us too soon. Or to soon. Who knows what contributions he might have made to society if he hadn't been so cruelly cut down after doing drugs, terrorising and robbing a tiny shopkeeper, and getting into a fight of some kind with the police?

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/11/23/obama-calls-for-calm-after-ferguson-announcement-says-race-relation-in-us-have/

“My own experience tells me race relations continue to improve,” Obama said on ABC’s “This Week,” in an interview taped last week. “There’s no way to say race relations are worse than 20, 50 years ago.”



He must be living in some other America, and not the one that's building up to a racial civil war.

I think in some ways they are worse than they have ever been before a certain person was elected to the highest office in the US.

He's evil, I swear it, he seems to bring nothing but strife and anger to the US and the wider world. Instead of rioting over a dead thug, black Americans would be better asking themselves why their idol has shoved them to the back of the queue again by legalising millions of Hispanic immigrants.

Oh, and stop playing into his hands by giving him an excuse to speed up the militarization of the police. I don't think Obama cares about ANY Americans, whether they're black, white, brown or green with polka dots.

Before him, black Americans didn't want the Mexicans and others streaming in because it threatened their jobs.  I know some black Americans who think he has really hurt them.

He only cares about himself, Bonny and to hell with everyone else.

NO THANKS!  

This video is a good catch:

Look at the expression on his face at the end; whoever was heckling him had better take care crossing roads and watch out for hit and run drivers...

Obama wouldn't last five minutes in British politics if he can't handle something as minor as that.

Oh Lord, just what isn't needed:

http://news.sky.com/story/1379087/police-shoot-dead-12-year-old-holding-fake-gun

A police officer is under investigation after shooting dead a 12-year-old boy who pulled a replica gun from the waistband of his trousers in a playground.

Tamir Rice passed away in the early hours of Sunday in Cleveland, Ohio, the day after he was shot while holding the airsoft gun - which resembles a semi-automatic handgun but fires pellets.

More at link.

It's actually hard to know what else he expected to happen - people have been shot here by our cuddly, friendly policemen for less. Though no doubt that boy's death is now going to be exploited, too.

It is really sad but parents have to do more to educate their own children about the dangers.

You can't fix stupid.

Lily, if I, as a white woman of mature years, had been running round a playpark in the UK with what to all intents and purposes is a loaded handgun, and then went on to ignore the police, there is every chance I would be shot, or at the very least tazered, too.

It's another life lost, but frankly, I would put the blame for this one on the boy's parents, and whoever he was associating with.

Exactly and this current mindset of not making people accountable for their own actions is the biggest problem of all.

Here we go....

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/24/justice/ferguson-grand-jury/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- A decision is expected Monday from the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, that is weighing evidence in the Michael Brown shooting, U.S. and local law enforcement officials told CNN.
The announcement will come from the St Louis County Prosecutor, the sources said.
Will Ferguson officer be indicted? Fighting to tell the story in Ferguson Ferguson: Preparing for protests
The sources did not know what decision will be announced.

I am sure that, whatever the verdict is, the 'protesters' will respect the court's decision and go home after a couple of choruses of We shall overcome. Not.

So, Officer Wilson was found to have been justified in shooting the Child Saint, and predictably, the 'protesters' went on an orgy of looting, burning, shooting and general mayhem.

Stealing cell phones, burning down beauty salons, and looting liquor stores IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY really shows how much you respect the rule of law and justice - when it's not a lynch mob.

No doubt it will kick off bigtime today, as 'protests' are threatened, I mean planned, all over the US today.

Round up of rioting here:

http://news.sky.com/story/1379763/ferguson-unrest-at-least-150-shots-fired

Interesting quote:

Mr McCulloch said the "most significant challenges" of the investigation included "non-stop rumours" on social media that were based on "little if any solid, accurate information".

The prosecutor added that some witnesses had admitted giving statements based on what they "assumed" had happened or "repeated what they had heard on the street".

That reminds me of something....I am sure it will come to me.....

What were businesses in Ferguson-



More images to be found at #ferguson, but I don't recommend looking at it for more than a couple of minutes at a time, it makes #mccann look sane and intelligent.

That policeman looks like quite a harmless soul. Not sure what I would have done with that great hulk coming at me with his hand in his waistband.
Has there been trouble there before?

General background lawlessness, from what I can make out, Sabot. Gangs, thugs, drugs, the usual stuff. It was a pretty poor area anyway, and it is now going to get worse, as it seems the rioters have looted and burned down businesses, shops, supermarkets, McDonalds, etc. No businessman in his or her right mind is going to set up there now.

It doesn't seem to have been a slum, the houses are fairly new - but you can guarantee all that's ahead for Ferguson now is slumdom.

It's rather teling that NOT ONE of the 'protesters' have expressed the slightest concern for the Asian shopkeeper the Child Saint assaulted and robbed before he went to meet his maker; indeed, they were last seen looting that supermarket, so it's probably been burned to the ground.

I personally am sick of Brown being called a 'child'. He wasn't a child, he was 18, which makes him pretty much an adult. He was also 6'5'' and weighed some 300 pounds. He was a thug and a brute, and I doubt if robbing and assaulting the Asian shopkeeper was his first crime.

Wilson drove off and then drove back to speak to them, at which point Brown suddenly punched him and they got into a struggle as he tried to get out of his police SUV, the testimony said.
The officer said he reached for his gun and said: ‘Stop I’m going to shoot’. In response, Brown told him: ‘You’re too much of a f****** p**** to shoot me’.
