Is that, while there may be other reasons for “White Flight” and separatists and all the other actions people take that are perceived as racist….

The events in Ferguson (both earlier this summer and last night), as compared the fact that they DIDN’T happen in areas where the demographic is, shall we say, different, should be a good  indication as to why decent people of all races move away from areas like Ferguson. They don’t like to live in areas where such things are likely to happen.

In my area (and likely in yours) no one torched any businesses, no one broke windows or looted stores. No one burned or overturned nor broke the windows out of any cars (police or not). No one feared any of those actions might take place, simply because the people who live here (and it is a fairly mixed area) are decent people, rather than the kind of folks who remain in Ferguson after all the others moved out.

Are there racial tensions? Yes, to an extent. But people (of all races) don’t generally get pulled over and treated badly by the police because they don’t look, dress or act like thugs and lowlifes, nor act like criminals.

Are the police perfect? Not at all. Nor are the citizens.

But we aint’t Ferguson style folks, either…..

Nurse Amber Vinson (the one who traveled while running a fever and showing other Ebola symptoms after treating the ebola patient who DIED in Dallas) now wants a refund of her deposit at the Bridal Shop (which was forced to close for decontamination after her visit). 

Were she not female, I’d say that she had a big set of balls to ask that.

That in remembrance of me, my supporters will loot something worthwhile, like a National Guard Armory or a bank or something..at least a Bass Pro Shop or a Cabela’s or a Gander Mountain.

Not something as small and insignificant as a Family Dollar….

‘Cause nothing says “we remember you and will avenge your death!” like looting a Family Dollar store.

Seems like at least some folks in the crowds are trying to piss off the Police. Throwing things at the crowds and such.

How long will they be calm? Were I a police officer having stuff tossed at me, I don’t know that I would be willing to endure it long, and at some point I’d start kicking ass. (Which is why I am not  a police officer!). I don’t envy those cops who have to be out on the streets tonight.

I pray no one is killed (or injured) tonight….but it looks like the rioters will see to it that someone is.

Idiots. Rioting isn’t gonna bring Brown back, nor will it change things.

ETA: These groups of rioters looters protesters seem to not fear police at all.  One might think they felt they were immune to prosecution.

ETAII: Turning ugly, cops are retreating from several groups. I hope the cops are ok tonight.

Why do these folks trash their own neighborhoods?

I’m turning in for the evening.

Decision reached,,,

Announcement at 4 pm.

Frostify if need be.

ETA: Now 6 PM announcement….

ETA2: Now pushed back to 8 pm. I think they are gonna keep pushing it back so the rioters protestors will be all keyed up over and over and then when the time comes will be burnt up. Plus it’ll be colder then. 

Harder to be a bad ass looter when yer fingers and face are freezing.

From HERE

I was terribly underwhelmed by the fact that none of the illegals that the media could find to comment on Barry’s immigration speech and proposal, could, despite being in the US for 5+ years (otherwise they wouldn’t be eligible) could speak passable english in their interviews about the reactions to Barry Soretoro’s illegal executive action on immigration.,,,, 5 or more years, and they can barely be understood in english. Couldn’t speak enough to order food nor to deal with a traffic ticket in court.

I know many true immigrants (hell, I worked for some years ago!), most still speak with an accent, but ALL of them can speak the main language of their adopted county fairly well.

Not so these people Barry has tried to help. 

Sorta like this, any more…….

Executive orders should never be allowed to stand more that 30 days. Ever. That’d let the prezident act quickly in an emergency, but let congress control things like the Constitution directs.

“It Just Won’t Work“.

Google paid several engineers to try and find a way that renewable energy could be made to work.

Their conclusion: It won’t…..It cannot be made to work. Period.

All renewables, those we know and those we can envision barely, at best, produce more energy that what is required to produce the device. Every Single One. Every Time.

This is Google, which so very much wants to find a way to power humanity on Magic Fairy Dust and Unicorn Farts in order to save the planet from humanity and evil Carbon Dioxide….

their conclusion: Ain’t Gonna Happen.

Sorry AlGore.
