I just wanted to say how outraged I am by the flippen' Political Correctness BS that is going on in this country........Prime Example: The unrest going on in Ferguson, Missouri.........I'm assuming that of course you've heard of the un-armed, young, black male that was recently shot and killed by a white police-officer in Ferguson.........I'm assuming that you have also seen the video of that very same un-armed, young, black male earlier that same day stealing a box of cigars from a local convenience store, shoving and using sheer brutal intimidation tactics against the confronting store's owner, who just happens NOT to be black.........I'd say that Karma perhaps caught up with this kid..........And I can also say that the young, back male shown in that video was nothing of the "poor, sweet, innocent" young, black male that's trying to be portrayed by the bias as$ media..... ...The racial bias culture in society  today, as well as the political correctness, has got to stop.........Period.....  .....Trash Is Trash.........Period.....    ....I'd also like to comment that if the people living in that area want to act like animals and burn down their own community that was built and paid for by tax-payers dollars, then I say, cage them in like the animals that they're portraying until they pay for it and re-build what they've destroyed.........Talk about a blatant disregard for civil obedience, open ignorance at its finest and sheer disrespect for the law........This is Trash acting like Trash.......My two dogs are better mannered, more properly groomed and more respectable that most of the animals shown rioting, burning down, and looting from the very own community that supports them..... ....I'd also like to know why the media is giving SO much attention to this unfortunate event.........I mean, how many un-armed young, black males are shot and killed everyday by other young black males..........At last count, I think it was something like 70 just this past weekend in Chicago.........So, why doesn't that make the news?...Or seriously, what about the 700 innocent civilians that were beheaded and butchered by ISIS this weekend.........Why is this genocide not being met with protests around the world? ....I'd like to know why this upheaval in Missouri, surrounding this young thug, is just so much more important than say the Marines that lose their lives fighting everyday over in Afghanistan? ....Or the Christians that are being persecuted daily in the Middle East?    4951

Now the protestors have thrown Molotov cocktails at police. Looks like all of the media down there tiptoeing around them and bringing credibility to the whole fiasco has made it worse and just increased their violence. What a massive cluster ****. 4951

I agree with Herron, the "criminal trash" in Ferguson should be arrested or shot. Comes with the territory. If you decide to break and disrespect the law then you have to accept the consequences. The National Guard should have been called in weeks ago. My guess is that the majority of the looters are criminals coming in from outside the area. On another note every country should be outraged by the recent be headings. Are we so involved with our own personal media playthings that we cannot connect with what is truly happening in the world? We need to resolve this mess immediately. Drop leaflets telling the civilians to flee because we are going to BOMB THE HELL out of that mess on 24 hours. We now have some of these in our country because this and previous Administrations have FAILED to secure our borders for POLITICAL gains. 4951

I wasnt going to comment but seeing you get so OUTRAGED over something that DIDN'T happen you is really eating at me - FIRST I understand we could be focused on other things but at this moment their not turn the televsion off or to something else.  SECOND whatever MICHAEL BROWN or anything other person - black/white/asian etc..) has done they should not be shot like DOGS in the the street and this is what has happened.  THIRD Michaels mom has LOST a child and that is a hurtful thing and if anyone has lost someone they know what pain she is experiencing.  No I have not lost a child and I would be devasted if he was killed like this.  My son is a Marine and I pray for him and all his friends that joined everyday.  Where is your empathy for this family.  I didnt say he was an angel but he was her angel.  FOURTH what are you doing to stop the unrest?  I do not think they should destroy their neighborhood, but I would sure hold them accountable for putting it back together.  4951

What I could never understand is why would the looters want to steal and destroy the merchants there?  What did they do to them?  They were innocent bystanders and yet these looters felt the need to cause havoc on them.   These store owners are only trying to to earn a living for their families.  None of it makes sense! 4951

I didn't want to add to this subject but, I must. First of all, if you live by the sword then you shall die by the sword. As a parent I don't know what my son will do when I am not present, but I can tell you what he won't say or do when I am.
 If this was my son, yes I would be hurt and devastated, but if he in fact did what this young man did, then there would be no one to blame but my son!! You don't have the right to take anything that does not belong to you. I would tell my son this when he lived at home, just because I am your mother does not give you the right to help yourself to my things unless it is food, and even if it is food, some things/items he still had to ask me first if he could have it, if it was purchased for me only. I will not defend my son or any child or person in their wrong doing, rather it be family or friends.
If I were a store owner in that community I would pack up and leave!! There is no excuse that could be justified for their behavior, just down right ghetto trash to the fifth degree. I bet if he (Michael Brown) could go back, he would have left those cheap *** cigars on the counter or paid for them. If I could meet his mother I would ask her, did she not inform/teach her son that he is to pay for any and every item he wants within an establishment, if not then you failed your son?
 
Yes, the media is making more out of this than what needs to be, but for them this is all about ratings, sad, but true! Maybe this will make more black men realize that you just can't do crime and expect to get away with it, there are consequences to your actions. 4951

I will never understand why, when criminal is shot as the result of their crime and that criminal is a particiular minority, a certain segment of the community is up in arms because of it. Why do the pseudo-celebs stand up in front of a microphone and lead the charge, whether here in Houston or somewhere else in the crowd?
 
Should criminals just be allowed to get away with their crimes and roam freely based on their race? Should we just turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the crime just because the criminal is of a certain race? Why is one race apparently supposed to be off limits? Where is this outrage and where are these protestors when other criminals fitting other racial makeups are instantly rehabilitated on the spot by police?
 
Why is there always a riot? Don't they realize that behavior just makes the racial tensions worse? 4951

@O2BEME2As the daughter and wife of both Marine Veterans, first off, I just want to take the time out to thank your son for his service to this great nation of ours........And thank you for your sacrifice, sleepless nights and weary time away from your loved one.........I know the feelings, struggle and raw emotions firsthand, and will keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.... ....And now to solidify just a few of my points.....  ....Do you not honestly believe that our men and women in uniform deserve less, the same, or even perhaps more media attention for actually putting their lives on the line, than the civil disobedience being shown 24/7 that's going on in Ferguson? ...Or what about the Marine that's jailed and being held in Mexico for months now?....How much news or media coverage have you seen about that?....I'll answer for you - probably not that much, if you're even familiar with that cause at all.......And yes, it's actually quite sickening, disheartening and shameful that the media would give this thug, and yes, he was a thug, NOT an angel, and these rioting animals, this much attention........It's racially bias political correctness bull****, plain and simple.....  ....If you refer to the released  video that shows this criminal simply reaching behind the counter and taking a box of cigars....  And by the way, he knew exactly where they were located at, so I'm assuming that this wasn't his first criminal act in that store....  And then shoving the store owner and going back at him with sheer intimidation tactics....  ....Of course his family's not going to want that video released - it shows the true character of their so called "angel".....  And of course their going to try and make him out to be just an innocent, law abiding, upstanding young man.... ...This young, black male was a criminal....  Period.........A thug.....  With obviously NO respect for that store owner, or for the laws he was breaking..... ....Watch the video...  There's all the proof you need.........That shows the true nature of the so-called "angel" that you're more inclined to empathize with.... ....He was NOT shot like a dog, as you stated, but according to the released autopsy results, he was actually shot in the front....   NOT in the back, as was originally portrayed by the community there in Ferguson and then reported by the media........We have NO knowledge that he wasn't trying to harm, lunge, or fight that police officer, when he was fired upon........I've been blessed not to be in that position, have you?....That officer has every right to protect and defend himself, as well as the public, and from his background and previous received awards, it seems as if he did exactly that....  ....My empathy is with the innocent lives that are lost.........And where our focus, thoughts, prayers and actions should really be..........I mentioned a few previously, and I can name several more that should take priority of the Ferguson incident...   4951

MSNBC and CNN have done nothing but fuel the flames on this story. Never waited to get facts, just charged ahead with theories, and bs. They are as responsible as the looters, imo.
 
@Fallon: As have the so-called community activists and Obama.  No one waited for the facts, they jumped in with both feet, listened to the stories of the 'witnesses' and those stories became the facts.  Now we are finding out that Brown was NOT gunned down in the back, he was shot from the front.  If this big man (he's a man, not a child) kept advancing rather than surrendering, the cop would feel threatened and keep shooting.  What - you want the cop to be killed by an outraged large man?  Would that make the rioters happy if the white cop had been the one to be killed trying to defend himself?  Probably.  But, not the facts are coming out and the media, the criminals, the activists and Obama are starting to distort the facts to suit their agenda.  Would all this be happening if this had been a huge white man, robbing a store, coming at a black cop and losing his life?  I seriously doubt it. As for the person who said THIRD Michaels mom has LOST
a child and that is a hurtful thing and if anyone has lost someone they
know what pain she is experiencing.  No I have not lost a child and I
would be devasted if he was killed like this.  My son is a Marine and I
pray for him and all his friends that joined everyday.  Where is your
empathy for this family.  I didnt say he was an angel but he was her
angel.  I have lost a son, 23 years old.  He was committing a crime (DWI) and I fully acknowledge it and it pains me that he died during the commission of his crime.  I am thankful that he did not injure anyone else, although he did hit another vehicle, no one else as injured.  I have empathy for this family, but where is their acknowledging that their son was not the angel they first reported him to be.  When the video came out, there was not an apology to the store clerks terrorized by their son...no apology to the people of Ferguson for their son's actions in starting this mess, no outcry (now meek whimpering) to stop the insanity and go home & wait for the rest of the facts to come out.  Instead, they were on TV this morning, demanding the cop be arrested for justice for their dead son.  Where is the justice for the police officer?  Where is the justice for the store owners, citizens of Ferguson.....they are being terrorized by these rioters.  The family is not accepting the coroner's report, they are demanding 2 more autopsies - Federal and independent.  I pray the autopsies are not swayed by the political correctness of 'gotta find the cop guilty to appease the criminals in the street'.  What is so wrong with waiting for facts, true facts.

"SECOND whatever MICHAEL
BROWN or anything other person - black/white/asian etc..) has done they
should not be shot like DOGS in the the street and this is what has
happened. "Nobody was shot like a dog.  Brown assaulted an officer.  Then, according to witnesses, Brown tried to run away.  When the officer told Brown to freeze, Brown turned and ran towards the officer.  The officer then opened fire to stop the charging "child" (6'4" over 200 LBS).Take the false condemnation somewhere else.  4951

@O2BEME2: You can count on people like Quanell to put it back together, and encourage violence!http://www.myfoxhouston.com/clip/10462087/the-fox-face-off-shot-by-police"there's a segment of our people who are sick and tired of just protesting, they don't want to lift every voice and sing, they wanna lift their fists and swing", and then "perhaps if we tore up enough, and in the right places, then ya'll will listen". Who's encouraging violence? Pretty sad when a "so called leader" is encouraging this type of behavior.

THe riots have started early tonight, arrests are being made all over the city.  Media will not cover exactly what is happening.  I have been following several on Livestream and facebook.  Both are reporting what police scanners are broadcasting.  They are trying to keep people out of buildings now.Guess the POTUS calling for calm, peaceful protest didn't work, instead it backfired as we all knew it would!  Now the DOJ is headed there?Evidence shows this young man was bull charging this officer. He feared for his life (after being attacked in his vehicle) and fired shots, 4 of those shots were to STOP him, the last 2 were kill shots, one to the face made him go down and as he went down the kill shot was fired.He wasn't shot like a dog unless you are talking about a rabid dog!   4951

@cador: This is what ALL these community activists want, they want the unrest so they can appear to be the leader, to be in-charge.  The National news said this evening that the majority of the rioters are young men in their teens & 20s and they are not even from the area. They have come to Ferguson just for the rioting, they have absolutely no attachment to the city.  Kinda makes you wonder if possibly the community activists either brought them in or encouraged them to make the trip.  Remember, never let a crisis go to waste.   Since the Ferguson unrest, where has the focus on Obama or other national or world matters?  Keep the violence going and everything else will disappear.
