America goes to the polls

Round up of rioting here:

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’.

Natalie DuBose after #Ferguson looters attacked her cake store to get justice for Michael Brown.
6:55 AM - 25 Nov 2014

Poor lady, just one of many heartbroken people this morning, who have seen their businesses and jobs go up in flames overnight. Martin Luther King must be turning in his grave - I don't recall him, or any of the fine 1960's civil rights workers, burning black people's businesses to the ground or looting Toys'r'Us.

That is what happens when pitchforkers are on the loose.  It's like a jungle out there.

Meanwhile, this is also wonderful news for American taxpayers.

You're right, Lily, it is pitchforker thinking taken to its obvious conclusion. That deranged mob didn't pay the slightest bit of attention to the actual evidence before they went on their looting spree. It actually wouldn't have mattered WHAT the verdict was, they wouldn't have been happy.

They wanted Officer Wilson lynched, along with the rest of the local police. And then they'd have burned and looted anyway, to 'celebrate Mikey gettin' justice'. As far as I'm concerned, he got Justice about five minutes after he assaulted and robbed that tiny Indian shopkeeper, who must have been utterly terrified of that grotesque monster.

Please note, I don't give a flying one about the colour of Dead Thug's skin; I am always in favour of thugs of any colour, race or creed being removed from the gene pool. I would personally have been delighted if the vile Dale Cregan had been killed while attempting to escape, instead of sitting in jail at our expense and reading his fan mail, having killed two British policewomen with hand grenades and a father and son in seperate incidents.

'S'OK, Lily, the Federal Reserve will just print more $$$$$, like they've been doing throughout Obama's reign, sorry, I mean, administration. That's never gone wrong before, has it?

Incidentally, why haven't the 'protesters' noticed that Obama has kicked them back down to the bottom of the ladder by legalising millions of Hispanics? Who tend NOT to riot and burn their own neighbourhoods down, whatever else they get up to?

There are too many people more concerned about Kim Kardashian's rear end than important matters.

As for the money, no, no, no.  The American people will have to bail out the bankers again.  They are, after all, such benevolent people.

That's quite a good graphic, illustrating exactly why it's a really bad idea to try to steal police officers' guns.

Look at some of the comments from people in reaction to the news.  

I've seen some, er, astonishing comments from people on all sides of this, Lily. But it must be our imagination, Obama says race relations in the US are better than ever.

I did, however, appreciate this comment on Obama's intervention last night....

I don't think things have been this bad since he became Emperor, Bonny.

Oh, bless those people being the subject of a cartoon.

Most presidents seem to have a defining moment, Lily, like Reagan and Kennedy in Berlin, or Bill Clinton explaining the meaning of sex to an astonished world. Obama's legacy is going to be that split screen image of him wittering on about peaceful demonstrations on one screen while Ferguson went up in flames on the other.

I am really upset by all of this. 60 years of my lifetime during which I seriously believed that a balance had to be addressed.

Black? Brown? Erm, not the same colour that I am? But it isn't working. What price slavery? When will anyone let it go?

This poor guy:



is the owner of the supermarket that was attacked and looted last night. I understand that this is also him:



being assaulted and robbed by soon-to-be-dead Thug.

He's Indian, his skin is the same colour as many of the rioters. It's what's between his ears that makes him different, and the gangbangers the dregs of society.

And I haven't seen a single 'protester' express the slightest bit of care or sympathy for him. I wouldn't blame every single shopkeeper in Ferguson, be they black, white, Indian, Asian, Jewish, whatever, for getting the Hell out while they can and never looking back.

But it is never that easy, is it. The shop keeper probably put a large effort into his business. And then some under privileged person thought that he had a right to beat him up and steal his hard earned money.
I don't care what colour that shit bag is. White people do the same thing. It isn't actually all that much to do with colour anymore. Just shit bags.

That's it, Sabot.  It has nothing at all to do with color, although there are those who like to pretend it is.  It is to do with being an ignorant thug.

White House: President Obama has been briefed on the situation in #Ferguson by Attorney General Eric Holder.

Phew, that's good news, the good people of America can rest easy now!

Lily, I have bled for for coloured people throughout the world. As if that matters when I am not one myself. But this does have to stop. A thug is simply a thug.

No-one is impressed by street thugs that can't even pull their jeans up; they may think they're cool, or something equally inane, but they actually look stupid.

They tend to look ridiculous too when they walk down a street.
