Bert: National Democrats really don’t want to have this conversation because, ultimately, they don’t want to deal with blacks. They just want them to vote on election day and stay dumb and happy for the rest of the year. The days of white politicians loudly demanding justice for black rioters, criminals, and rapists are over and not coming back.
Big Bill says: Holder has left Ferguson now, hasn’t he? He pressed the flesh with a few preachers and college kids. What else is there to do?
The FBI is poring over the Ferguson PD books to find any Federal civil rights offenses, but Holder doesn’t have to sit around and wait on them to do their job. He’s just going to bury it anyway. No reason to stir up another sh!tstorm with an election coming up.
And Holder damn sure isn’t going to risk meeting the rappers that are piling into Ferguson to do street rap or the agitators from out-of-state. No telling what they might say out loud.
By now the local Negro population figures it got in a couple good licks at the white folks and are getting tired of the curfews and out-of-town trash, cops and FBI wandering around the hood.
Meanwhile some fool bruthas are planning a demonstration at the White House. Holder better be back in town for that.
Things do look like they are winding down now.
Rusty writes: No commentator yet has really pointed out that the people involved in these riots from Mike Brown on down really just aren’t that bright. I think this is the first time that I’ve even heard them called out for burning down the QT (an estimated 7 figure loss) for the wrong reason. And that’s maybe the single most important factor at play here. I don’t know if the town hall meeting with the Missouri governor received national coverage, but it played out pretty much like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. Al Sharpton came to town and angrily called for more jobs for black youth, amidst the smoking ruins of Ferguson’s business district which had just recently been annihilated by the region’s black youth. The real problem for the area’s black youth is that too large a percentage of them have felony convictions, elaborate ink work on their necks and faces, and a family history that stretches back generations without a father in the house or a job in the family. And there’s not much that the rev can do about that.
I’ve been divided between enjoying watching the whole thing unravel and the fact that I actually know the people and places involved. You know that the media outlets bend things to suit their audiences, but it’s an amazing thing to see it play out first hand. There won’t be anything funny about the aftermath for Ferguson, though. It’ll be just one more toxic ghetto in the Loo that “used to be nice.”
Pizza writes: How come no conservative saw fit to write a column:
“Where are National Republicans on Ferguson?”
Shouldn’t GOP be standing up for businessmen attacked by rioters?
White cops slandered by black thugs?
White people attacked by blacks?
Black Holder and other demagogues abusing power?
But there’s only silence.
Suppose a black cop had shot a white thug who’d racially intimidated an immigrant businessman and then charged the officer. Suppose ‘white trash’ thugs went on a rampage.
National Democrats would go nuts over it.
But National Republicans are so browbeaten by charges of ‘racism’ by the globo-elites that they don’t even stand up for their natural constituencies. Instead, we have guys like Rand Paul trying to turn this into a libertarian issue when, in fact, militarization of police(as worrying as it is as a separate issue)had nothing to do with Brown’s thuggery and the cop’s response to him.
Wilson didn’t run over Brown with a tank. He used a pistol–something cops had forever–to quell someone who was out of control.
