Riots in Ferguson

According to that article sperlo, his gun had five rounds in the chamber and one in the magazine. That'd be tough to fire.

This is ridiculous, man," Smith said of Martin's shooting. "After the first one this sh-- should have stopped. My only question is: what exactly did he do to be killed?"

Uh, pointed a loaded gun at a cop?

Actually FIRED a gun at a cop according to the article. Yeah, GREAT reason to start a riot/protest. Pathetic.These people don't want "justice", they want free E36 M3 and to burn it all down.

I'm waiting to see how the officer was wrong in this one too.

18 does not make "a teen". 18 is a man. A grown adult male. Stop with this bullE36 M3 half assed reporting.

Bobzilla, "gun statistics" have been skewed with 18-19 year-olds classified as "teenagers" or "teen age victims" for decades. Yes, 19 year old gang bangers that shoot each other are in the "XXX teenagers were shot or killed with guns last year..." BS. Oh, and cops shooting them gets in that number as well, as does those shot while robbing other people.

In this one, lessee, 18 year old "teenager" points gun at cop and may have actually shot at the cop and then gets killed. Riot follows because "another white cop shoots another black teenager...."

That is exactly where the shake up needs to start.

And the NPR radio news read it that way this morning, as well.

again … we have people reporting on things that they haven't a clue about … whether it's first person reporting or just reading off the wire

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

TIME told you in 2010 those crazy right wing nut jobs were going to rise up like this..

TIME said: “Scores of armed antigovernment groups, some of them far more radical, have formed or been revived during the Obama years, according to law-enforcement agencies and outside watchdogs. A six-month TIME investigation reveals that recruiting, planning, training and explicit calls for a shooting war are on the rise, as are criminal investigations by the FBI and state authorities. Readier for bloodshed than at any time since at least the confrontations in the 1990s in Ruby Ridge, Idaho, and Waco, Texas, the radical right has raised the threat level against the President and other government targets,” the article says.

Quote

"Several police units were damaged and Belmar said people also brought bags of rocks to the scene."

Are these bags filled ahead of time in case there's some kind of rioting emergency, or are they filled as needed?

FERGUSON, Mo. – A Missouri man is making headlines after he was seen cleaning up the streets of Ferguson, and is telling reporters that he believes that he was led by God to do something positive in the community.

Terrance Williams, 23, is from St. Louis and aspires to become a police officer. Williams says as he watched the rioting on television, his heart broke. He prayed and asked God what he should do.

“My heart just began to cry out to God, and I just asked Him, ‘What can I do? What can Terrance do to go out there and make a difference?'” he recalled in telling his story this week to the Daily Signal. “Later that night, the Lord just put it on my heart, ‘Son, I want you to go out there and I want you to clean up.'”

Williams said that he became excited about the idea, and couldn’t wait to get out on the streets.

“[O]riginally, I was going to start at 9 o’clock and it hit 6:30, and my heart just began to [seem to say], ‘Get up! Get up! Get up!'” he explained. “And I got up at 6:30, and I went to the store. I bought some bags and a pair of gloves, and I just put my green boots to the ground and just began to walk and do what God put on my heart to do.”

Williams said that some of his friends from college chipped in to help as well. The group had been praying and reaching out the community since the incident first happened in Ferguson in August. He said that others who saw him cleaning up the streets after the riots soon wanted to join him.

Since I was a little kid, I always knew that my life had a calling,” he stated. “I want to be able to go out there and spread positive information and help those that may be in danger. So, from the age of seven, I set my mind on that I want to be a police officer, and I’ve never given up that hope.”

Williams is in the final phase of his studies to become a police officer, as has been approved to proceed to the physical fitness test.

In reply to Woody:

I keep a couple bags around just in case.

Glad it's not just me, then.

Looking through history, the right wing nut jobs don't rise up in armed rebellion. That is almost exclusively the realm of what left wing nut jobs do. Right wing nut jobs just ooze their way into government and media, slowly subverting it.

So never trust a left wing nut job with a gun or a right wing nut job in a suit. Or something.

When I posted the story, there was barely any info. They have been updating the story. When I read that, I laughed so hard I almost cried.

I think things will calm down a bit with video of the 18 y/o pulling a gun. You know. The one with 5 in the chamber.

I hope you're right … but every network tonight is reporting "a white cop, has shot and killed a black youth"

there doesn't seem to be anyone reporting that an officer shot a gun wielding youth … got to get the color in there

Now it sounds like it's not enough he had the gin but the cop needs to wait until he is fired on. One genius actually said "when they take the job they should know they can get killed, they can't just shoot kids who haven't shot at them."

So, I had possibly the most racist thought of my life last night. I was reading the news and a young black woman (she was 19, so... You know a woman. Not a teen. Silly news) had stabbed her grandmother to.death. my brain immediately went to #blacklivesmatter and I thought to myself "i wonder if anyone told black people about that? Cause this girls clearly.not gotten the message."
