  Ferguson Shooting (Is my thinking on this all wrong.......)

  by out4good3 in

  i think everyone here can agree that walking down the street, even in the middle of the street, is not cause for having a clip emptied in your ass......... i can understand how the black community would be outraged by the injustice of seeing another black man dead in the street at the hands of the police under mysterious circumstances....... i hope that i'm not succumbing to the attempts to assinate the already well impuned character of the dead man...... however.

  i can't help but think that this could all have been avoided by exercising the proper discretion with fore-knowledge of the disadvantages people of color have when they are dealing with law enforcement in the united states.

  it is not as if this disadvantage has only since recently came to light.

  I don't care what kind of a guy Michael Brown was, he appears to have been a real asshole. But that has nothing to do with the fact that the cop was trigger happy, as soooo many of them are. Particularly when it comes to young black men.

  LOL, guess what the number one excuse for shooting an unarmed civilian is? That's right, "he went for my/a gun".

  Nice work folks. Keep dehumanizing these young UNARMED black kids so they become the villain not the victim. Ignore the systemic problem here.

  A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.

  by punkofnice in

  as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.

  later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.

  we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.

  Jan it is as LRG posted. The OP is about an antidiscrimination law that was passed called HERO, and those who are trying to have the law repealed.

  Telling the truth about God's view of marriage is not gay bashing, I'm glad we still have a few good churches who are willing to preach gods word!

  What does that have to do with the OP?

  Right on LRG!

  Maybe the better question here should be Why in the world do theses pastors/churches want to repeal a law that protects people from discrimination???

  The measure bans discrimination based not just on sexual orientation and gender identity but also, as federal laws do, sex, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, disability, pregnancy and genetic information, as well as family, marital or military status.

  while these idiots think beheading innocent aid workers journalists who have the welfare of the people at heart in these circumstances and then butchering them in such a barbaric manner is going to swing public opinion in their favour is beyond me .. if their is ever a reason to go on the ground including going into syria to rid this pox off the face of the earth this is the last straw and needs to be done now.. no more now pussyfooting around with barbaric medieval murderes , go in and annhillilate the bastards.

  in the air on the ground and whatever it takes.. smiddy.

  Food for thought

  Osama Bin Laden’s Dream of US Economic Collapse

  September 18th, 2008

  
  Daniel Eran DilgerSupporters of the Bush administration like to say that there have been no terrorist attacks on US soil since the tragedy of September 11, 2001, suggesting that President Bush has kept the country safe from terrorism. What they forget is that Osama Bin Laden clearly outlined his strategy for battling America, not by flying more planes into new buildings, but by driving the US into bankruptcy.
  .
  The current economic collapse among US banks has cost taxpayers over $800 billion so far in federal bailouts. Add in the trillions spent off the budget in financing the occupation of Iraq and a maintenance mode war in Afghanistan, and it’s obvious that the yet uncaptured Bin Laden can declare “mission accomplished.”

  In November 2004, CNN reported that Bin Laden released a video monologue to Al-Jazeera where the terror-savvy, extreme fundamentalist announced plans to continue a “policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy” using similar tactics to those used when fighting the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 80s, “guerrilla warfare and the war of attrition to fight tyrannical superpowers.”

  CNN.com – Bin Laden: Goal is to bankrupt U.S. – Nov 1, 2004

  “Easy to Provoke and Bait this Administration.”
  Bin Laden bragged at the time that al Qaeda has found it “easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations.”

  “And it all shows that the real loser is you,” Bin Laden said. “It is the American people and their economy.”
