"This is the week American's traditionally give thanks. This year? Yet to see..."
As most American's are working a shortened work week, and are getting ready to either travel or entertain on Thanksgiving, others are getting ready for disturbances in Missouri that could range from mayhem to street warfare. And it all has to do (we thought) with the release of the grand jury verdict in the Michael Brown case.
The answer seems simple, does it not? If the grand jury can just indict this cop on SOMETHING other than a justified shoot, everyone can go home and peace will once again return to the shire. Well, hold the phone please. It seems that is not in the cards. Not one bit.
Our local MSNBC "Rev" and racial arsonist already has protests planned for a hundred cities. Will the protests still go on if this cop is indicted? Yep - sure will. There will be other things to protest. Heavy handed policing, the racial make up of many big city police departments, racial profiling and (ready for this...) minimum wage. In other words, this event which will probably happen this week will be an excuse for mayhem (or worse).
Mayor Rudy (America's Mayor) was on one of the talk shows this weekend. He brought up a very good point which has been brought up by some others before. Having a white cop shoot a black person under suspicious circumstances is a rare event. However, black on black crime amounts to 93% of all black homicides in big cities. It has become much too common. Why are we not addressing that issue also? Well, needless to say, Rudy got pounced on by one of the liberals on the show as "not knowing what he is talking about". Bottom line - what is happening in Ferguson is headline news, and what is happening in Chicago remains off limits.
Most people in the know feel this verdict will be released before Thursday. Governor Nixon has already declared a state of emergency in Missouri and called out the National Guard. It is too bad we can't go back in time. If all Ferguson police had been issued body cameras, this week could have been only about giving thanks, and not getting ready for social unrest.
