Grand Central Moonbats Traveling To Ferguson

Pete is riding his bike to meet up with Justin in Ferguson.
Every hard core left-wing, communist, socialist and racist group is coordinating to advance upon Ferguson Missouri this weekend. However, the problem the professional agitators might run into is if they are met by the real boys of the hood who are smart enough to know professional opportunists when they are noticed.

Check out this All-Star list of groups planning to support Ferguson October !
Then again, with all of these Brangelina Beatnik Moonbats running around parading their social justice causes – the liquor stores might be less guarded. Lucky Day, Lucky Day…. Whoot, there it is. Continue reading →

This whole thing is very confusing to me. The title of this thread is "A small taste of WROL in Ferguson". I only think this would apply as "WROL" if there weren't cops on every corner. Semantics aside, we live in a world where we have allowed ourselves to believe that we cannot defend ourselves and this is what happens. The reason this could never happen in rural America is because not only are we armed, but we haven't been force-fed the idea that we need police permission to exercise an unalienable right. If the people stand against this the way we would have 100 years ago, the rioting would never have happened. Americans do not need and do not deserve the police to be their personal protection. That is another side to freedom. The police are "law enforcement", not "crime prevention" or a "private security detail". They deal with crimes that are already committed and America's demands that they "protect" us is why the police state is what it is. We are promised the FREEDOM to live or die by our own doings and decisions. If we hadn't let the last 50 years or so completely emasculate us, this rioting would have been squashed by the business owners and residents of the community effected. Unfortunately, all we collectively know to do in this country any more is hide and pray(or even demand) that someone else protect us and our families when that is no one's responsibility but our own.

The people expecting others to fight their battles for them are almost as frustrating as the ones doing the rioting. I believe this debacle is indicative of where this nation is heading as a whole. Individual responsibility is what made this country great. When we are viewed as a collective, we lose our identity and our ability to stand up against tyranny. What is more scary, I wonder? The mob of violent looters or the "militarized" police force that everyone demanded protect them? Sometimes you just get what you asked for.

Unless you see the barrels, muzzle flash or hear the bullets snap by you, a person really can't tell "in my direction" from "in any other direction".
I suppose I could watch the news later tonight but, bleh, don't really care one way or the other.

There you go. As we go further into this chaos, it truly all comes back to this. We were at our best when those 10 rules still applied. If people could start respecting themselves, they can start respecting others as well, religious or not.

This thread started off on August 12th with the early WROL/unchecked looting in Ferguson and what would you do to protect/avoid etc..

It became one of the last threads about Ferguson still standing though, and that's o.k.! A whole lot of angles on this story and it still ain't over.
Latest is Democratic political ads are using pics of child "protesters" with hands up/don't shoot to get votes.

And what if the Officer is found completely innocent!? Might be more than a small taste of WROL in Ferguson after that happens.
With the authorities under the spotlight and handicapped by extreme political correctness, there might be a lot of law around but they won't rule.

the thing is, the cops DID allow the looting and burning
perfect definition of WROL. Local cops were told to stand down and let the Politically controlled State Police allow looting
Then Holder showed up, he allowed looting and burning
then AAs started shooting at cops, in Fergy and St Louis
ROL? don't think so

Actually, we were at our best when those 10 "rules" we're hanging on the walls, and memorialized outside our national institutions.

You don't have to believe in the source from wence they came, you just have to do them to live a long, peaceful, and prosperous life.

Reality flies in the face of a carefully crafted Michael Brown "hands up, don't shoot" mythology that has made Brown an unlikely martyr and catalyst for a coalition of race hustlers, Marxists, anarchists, cop-haters, and opportunistic thugs, who seek to capitalize on a smoldering mass hysteria.
The document the arrogant activists provided under the title "Proposed Rules Of Engagement" may as well be titled "Get Out Of Our Way And Let Us Riot And Loot With Impunity."

The 19-item list is—to put it bluntly—a bat guano crazy statement of intent to riot.
They want a 48-hour notice in advance of the grand jury decision for riot prep (presumably to stockpile rocks, bricks, bottles, etc).
They want to be able to use social media and cell phones to shift and focus riots (a lesson they learned from the "Arab Spring") with impunity and without communications interference.
They want to be able to assemble mobs as large as they want, wherever they want, for as long as they want.
They want police officers to allow rioters extensive latitude in their actions, while heavily restricting police response.
Perhaps most disturbing, they want to police to have minimal defensive protection against rioters, and assurances that the police won't use the tools that may be needed to break-up riots once they turn violent.
And of course, they want virtual "get out of jail free cards" for both the leaders of their movement and the rioters themselves.
If I were a citizen in the St. Louis area—or any other area in the nation where there is history of significant and potentially violent racial tension where a Ferguson-triggered riot might break out—I'd be investing in practical long guns for home defense, putting aside shelf-stable foods and water, quality flashlights, and perhaps be considering an extra garden hose and a fire extinguisher.
One thing that we learned from the 1992 Los Angeles riots is that there simply aren't enough police officer to handle a widespread riot with hundreds or thousands of rioters spread out
across a large geographic area, and individual blocks of businesses and residential neighborhoods may be cut off and left to defend themselves as best as they can.
It may very well devolve into a complete failure of civility in some areas, where only the credible threat (or use) of force may be able to defend lives.
Some astute observers have noted that cold weather can be used to blunt rioters, and that a polar vortex is set to strike much of the nation next week. If authorities are smart, they'll use the colder weather in from the middle of next week through next weekend strategically, providing that the grand jury has completed their investigation and has come to a decision.
Sadly, it seems that Michael Brown's exploiters seem intent on using the mythology crafted around his death as an excuse to rage against the society at large.
Be prepared.

Ferguson Grand Jury Decision – Saint Louis Prosecutor McCullough Tries To Stop Speculation, As Firearm Sales Skyrocket…
Posted on November 10, 2014 by sundance

FERGUSON, Missouri (CNN) —Lately, Dan McMullen has been bringing an extra gun to his office in Ferguson Missouri.
McMullen runs Solo Insurance on West Florissant close to where looting and vandalism briefly broke out in early August after a police shot to death teenager Michael Brown.
"I bring an extra gun now only because it has a bigger magazine," McMullen says. He began carrying it after tensions increased in the area following the shooting. He says he would never use it to protect his business, but he would use it to save his life. Continue reading →

Tooling Up For Anarchy In Ferguson
Posted by Bob Owens on November 11, 2014 at 5:14 pm

I just listened to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon's press conference about law enforcement preparations for the release of the grand jury's investigation into Michael Brown's shooting death at the hands of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. The grand jury's announcement can come at any time between now and the end of November.
I listened to Governor Nixon speak, while actively monitoring the #Ferguson tag on Twitter as he gave his statement and then answered questions from the media.
To say that there is a disconnect between what Governor Nixon said and what Ferguson "activists" heard is putting it mildly.
Nixon said that he wanted to ensure that protesters would have their First Amendment rights to assemble and protest if they did not like the grand jury's decision.
He also said that law enforcement had a primary duty in this matter to ensure the safety of everyone.
Many of the "activists" took this grossly out of context, and somehow twisted it to mean that law enforcement would be attacking protesters.
Reality is over here… <—
—> … but what "activists" choose to interepret is somewhere over here.
There is very little middle ground.
This massive disconnect between the rest of society and the "activists" is why so many locals in the greater St. Louis area are reported to be taking up arms:
On Monday, Steven King, who owns Metro Shooting Supplies told CNN that customers bought 100 guns this weekend. A typical weekend brings in about 30 buyers.
"People are afraid they are gonna throw Molotov cocktails," says King, referring to the mostly nonviolent protests that have taken place in Ferguson since the shooting.
The increase in gun sales reaches across racial and ethnic lines, he says.
"A lot of black people coming in saying they are afraid of the hooliganism," he says.
"But not all of Ferguson is hooliganish. The media portrays us that way. If the world can just see this is one little street in Ferguson going crazy, they'd understand that we're not just one big burning city."
At Metro Shooting Range in nearby Bridgeton, Missouri, manager John Stephenson says gun sales are up 40 to 50% as of last week.
And lots of folks are coming in to the gun range for training, which he says is important for new gun owners.
"Every time that door opens, we're seeing new faces," Stephenson says. Many new customers tell him they're concerned about the response to the grand jury decision.
The bulk of the weapons sold to new buyers are home defense shotguns. "We've sold tons," he says.
Ferguson Mayor James Knowles says a good number of residents have told him they're buying guns for protection. The mayor has warned law enforcement to be mindful that there are a flurry of new gun owners.
"It is a little frightening to think that somebody who is less trained may not have that restraint."
It is a terrifying prospect.
Legitimate peaceful protesters have wolves hiding among them, apparently looking to instigate something more than peaceful demonstrations.
Fearful residents are purchasing firearms for the first time, and fear is driving those purchases.
I have a gnawing concern that this toxic mix of simmering anger, an inability (or unwillingness) of people to communicate to one another, and fear from residents with newly purchased weapons and little to no training is going to lead to negligent discharges, "accidental" shootings, unnecessary shootings, and more than likely, more death and agony.
Inertia seems to have taken hold.
At this point we must simply hope that cooler heads will prevail, and that citizens won't be forced to practice self-defense.
