The Ferguson thread

I have a dream...
That one day people will be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

If that were true today, this thread would not exist.

The thread would be different if anyone down there was half the leader MLK was.

I agree, but I am curious as to what your reasoning for this statement is.

Doubtful. MLK Jr would have never shown up in the first place. He rallied against legit problems, and certainly wouldn't have used a thug attacking an officer as talking point. I'd like to think he'd see this situation for what it really was.

And overall INGO posts would be slashed by 75%.

Amen

No one would have done anything based on the race of any participants.

If both had been the same race, there would have been no controversy; if the person shot had been Caucasian, there would have been no controversy.

That's my opinion...

But the important thing here is the media said it was NOT a hate crime. They were just randomly walking along destroying cars as future college kids are bound to do. This jerk had the audacity to tell them to stop and he paid with his life.

The Bosnian's "perception" is that it was a racist hate crime. We have been told before that perception is reality so what is the question?

Elkhart joins the fray tonight.

Ferguson support rally planned for downtown Elkhart - Elkhart Truth

I'd go... with a sign that reads "I support officer Wilson."

Because that would be constructive.
Remington, that's a pretty small place right? Off topic, have you heard of any stories concerning one of your residents that seemed impossible to believe? Within the last month...

They had one last week in South Bend. I seen the notice on the SB Trib site. But I didn't hear anything about the turn out. I think it was a fizzle. Unless they're meeting in a Best Buy parking lot I doubt it will be attended well. Just in case, Best safe Elkhart.

Officer Wilson was the victim in that incident. Supporting him would be quite constructive, indeed.

Only lately.

Haven't heard anything, but I don't get out much.



...and supporting LEOs is way more constructive than supporting criminals. No sympathy for bad guys here.
