"Two men indicted last week on federal weapons charges allegedly had plans to bomb the Gateway Arch..."
"... and to kill St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch and Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson — the Post-Dispatch has learned."

Compare and contrast: those who designed and built the Arch, and those who planned to take it down.
They thought they'd take down the arch with a couple of pipe bombs? They're idiots.
Metaphorical breakage is too meta for radicals, who want it simple and direct.
Darren Wilson was allowed to drive himself back to the station. He was allowed to bag his own gun as evidence. He was allowed to wash the blood off of his hands (to destroy evidence). He was allowed to be judged by the grand jury without finger prints or DNA evidence presented.
And y'all say Jim Crow ain't over,...
The Chief Of Police of Ferguson is a Democrat. The prosecutor is a Democrat. The State Attorney General is a Democrat. The Governor of Missouri is a Democrat. Once again Crack is shown the proof that Jim Crow is and was a Democrat.

Well then EBT cards are going to have to be subject to greater scrutiny as they are terror enabling mechanisms. Might require a version of the Do Not Fly List such as a Do Not Subsidize List.
"And y'all say Jim Crow ain't over,..."
But de jure segregation laws are over.
“It’s been a long time coming. Ferguson, Dillard, Florissant. Are no white folks speeding or running red lights in these towns?
Nobody knows what happened that day with Michael Brown and that officer. What happens every day around here is worse. It doesn’t matter if you’re walking or driving. You’re a target. Rioting isn’t right. But they just want people to know what’s happening.”
The Cover is a rip-off of a Matson cartoon. This is what Matson says:
To me, the divided arch image was very obvious. Almost too easy. But good ideas always seem too easy after one comes up with them, I suppose. I would expect dozens of editorial cartoonists to come up with the same image independently," he added. "The most obvious choice of imagery, symbolism, and cultural reference for specific current events at specific times in specific places will often be the same and that will inevitably lead to very similar, if not identical, cartoons."
Meade,
"But de jure segregation laws are over."
Who needs those? As long as whites act like assholes, segregation is a given. And whites haven't stopped acting like assholes.
Blacks have to wait for that, you see.
That's called "the good life"...
Poor Crack Emcee.
It's really really inconvenient that the Grand Jury did have access to the fingerprint and DNA evidence prior to coming to their decision and the Grand Jury had the authority to call/recall any witnesses they wanted to for any questions/reasons they had all the way up the end.
That is REALLY inconvenient for the race hustlers.
So Crack, would you call this Althouse post "Race-baiting for her Racist readership?"
Sebastian,
Compare and contrast: those who call for justice, and those who celebrate it not existing in America. I repeat:
Darren Wilson was allowed to drive himself back to the station. He was allowed to bag his own gun as evidence. He was allowed to wash the blood off of his hands (to destroy evidence). He was allowed to be judged by the grand jury without finger prints or DNA evidence presented.
And y'all seem quite pleased - with yourselves,...
Crack Emcee: "He was allowed to be judged by the grand jury without finger prints or DNA evidence presented."
You keep repeating this (like garage) as if it is true.
It's not.
You're lying.
Again.
"Who needs those? "
It's what Jim Crow was. Study some history.
Drago,
"Poor Crack Emcee.
It's really really inconvenient that the Grand Jury did have access to the fingerprint and DNA evidence prior to coming to their decision,.."
Prove it - we have all the transcripts - everything. Show the evidence they saw DNA and fingerprints.
The prosecutor released it all,...
Meade,
"It's what Jim Crow was. Study some history."
Please. Jim Crow was more than segregation laws. It was also lynching and a land with no law.
Just like now,...
Because we know that New York City has the best race relations in the country and that gives them the right to lecture others.
cubanbob,
"The Chief Of Police of Ferguson is a Democrat. The prosecutor is a Democrat. The State Attorney General is a Democrat. The Governor of Missouri is a Democrat."
Funny, but it's Republicans who are cheering them,...
"The name Jim Crow is often used to describe the segregation laws, rules, and customs which arose after Reconstruction ended in 1877 and continued until the mid-1960s."
So much for it just being segregation laws.
Oh, and BTW, Meade - I'm old enough to know living in it:
Whites are the ones who need books,...
The response to Michael Brown's death is aimed at keeping blacks' votes for Democrats. Without 95% of the black vote Democrats cannot win a majority in the Senate, the House or a national election for president.
If the number drops to 85% as blacks realize gentry Leftists are systematically screwing the black middle class, then Democrats are devastated as a national party.
Crack (garage) Emcee: "Prove it - we have all the transcripts - everything. Show the evidence they saw DNA and fingerprints."
LOL
You might want to actually look at the documents the Grand Jury was given instead of hiding behind your impenetrable ignorance.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/11/25/us/evidence-released-in-michael-brown-case.html?_r=0
"Whites are the ones who need books,..."
Why only whites? Non-whites don't need books?
Crack Emcee: "Funny, but it's Republicans who are cheering them,..."
Nope.
But don't worry.
It will take only about 6 months or so and crack and his pals will have convinced themselves that every single democrat in this chain of events is really a republican.
The Narrative must succeed.
Can you imagine being one of the blacks whose testimony to the Grand Jury supported Officer Wilsons version of events?
How worried must they be that their accurate and honest testimony will be no defense when the local crack-sters get hold of their names?
That's weird, Drago. Right there on the New York Times website at your link was a "DNA Analysis Report". And all this time I assumed The Crack Emcee was an honest broker. *snort*
The grand jury convened before DNA evidence was available. DNA evidence subsequently became available. The parsing of these facts by the Leftsists is meant to keep blacks voting for Democrats at 95%.
The lemmings are here for that purpose. March along, lemmings.
B.S. Officer Wilson's fingerprints and DNA were not in question; Michael Brown's were to show that his hands had been were they should not have been.
This is true for the whole article (Slate?) that you are quoting from. It is just a string of innuendo's that there might be something shady about items of evidence that have been frankly stated and admitted to and have not been questioned by anybody. For one thing, because everything was immediately photographed and can be reproduced, if needed.
Meade: "Why only whites? Non-whites don't need books?"
Well, garage could use a couple books on forensic science as a start.
Birkel: "The parsing of these facts by the Leftsists is meant to keep blacks voting for Democrats at 95%."
Yep.
Garage turned in a virtuoso performance last night in utterly ignoring the forensic reports given to the Grand Jury and then pretending that it never even existed.
I see crack has skipped right over step 1 (ignoring evidence provided to the GJ) and gone right to step 2 (deny the evidence was ever given to the GJ).
You really have to wonder what these idiots want. I suppose they are trying to end the oppression symbolized by the girlfriend's EBT card.
Something like 30% of black males are career criminals. Guess what? They don't care for the police! And their Mamas don't either! When will it stop being news, that criminals don't want crime punished?
Where did The Crack Emcee get his carefullty parsed lies? Which journo-o-list started the lie that was carefully crafted to keep blacks voting for Democrats at 95%?
True: The grand jury convened before DNA evidence was available.
Lie: Therefore the grand jury was compromised because DNA evidence was not available to the grand jury.
The Crack Emcee did not invent this lie. From where did he receive this lie that he pretends to accept as truth?
"Bill Woods, special agent in charge of the FBI office in St. Louis, peeked into court at one point, but there were no available seats. The room was full with family and supporters of Davis and Baldwin."
No Impunity, no Peace!
Darren Wilson was allowed to drive himself back to the station. He was allowed to bag his own gun as evidence. He was allowed to wash the blood off of his hands (to destroy evidence).
Better?
I see somebody above mentions Slate as the source for the carefully crafted lies.
Journ-o-list-ism at its finest.
I would bet Slate was fed these lies directly from political actors.
The Crack Emcee: "Darren Wilson was allowed to drive himself back to the station. He was allowed to bag his own gun as evidence. He was allowed to wash the blood off of his hands (to destroy evidence).
Better?"
Nope. And you're still an idiot just following orders from someone above you I guess.
Hagar summarized it the best thus far:
Hagar said...
B.S. Officer Wilson's fingerprints and DNA were not in question; Michael Brown's were to show that his hands had been were they should not have been.
The absolute worst thing that could have happened to the liars like Crack is that all the evidence was given to the GJ and then ALL of that evidence was released publicly immediately upon the announcement of the decision.
It's blown every single lie of the left right out of the water.
It won't stop them of course. There will be no payday at the end of the road if the Narrative fails.
Which it already has.
My caption for that photo would be:
"No-bid Minority Contractor Fails to Complete Arch Keystone".
Spokesman for the inept Contractor defended their actions, saying "Everybody know Obama is against Keystone. We're just doing our job."
"The Crack Emcee did not invent this lie. From where did he receive this lie that he pretends to accept as truth?"
Well, he's right about the gun and washing the hands. That is from Wilson's testimony, and I thought it was strange. But Wilson also testified that his sergeant told him to go sit in his patrol car (also a crime scene), and he refused because he did not want to be singled out. Meaning he was afraid that would mark him as the shooter, and he feared for his life if the crowd realized who he was.
Kind of hard to do a thorough job of police work with a crowd of violent savages snarling at you, I guess.
On second thought, I think it was The Washington Post.
I think I remember reading about 2/3 of the way down and thinking hat this was pretty low journalism even for WaPo.
And you must remember, all of these crack-lies are tossed in willy-nilly in the thread where the topic happens to be the arrest of 2 ("freedom fighters" no doubt) NBPP chaps who were picked up with a couple of pipe bombs.
Fortunately for all concerned, their technical and planning skillsets were about what you'd expect.
At least craft your own lies The Crack Emcee.
Gentry Leftists are destroying the black middle class with their policies. These policies started in 2007 with Nancy Pelosi's ascension to Speaker. We see how much she cares for the black middle class in San Francisco; there is no black middle class in San Francisco.
The policies began in earnest in 2009. Gentry Liberals are destroying the black middle class. Ginning up these events to scare blacks will work in the short run. But eventually the boy who cries wolf will be eaten.
The standard under Obama power has become a pseudo race war that blacks expect to always be awarded the win like the old WWF fake wars days we. called the civil rights struggles.
But when it is a real war, the winner has to earn victory.
Wilson won!
Maybe they should have gotten some university administrators to come handle the investigation. I gather that they are all trained to handle serious crimes.
BTW, here's one truly wonderful feel-good story about the trashing of the Ferguson neighborhood that garage/crack et al are so excited about.
Of course, it involves lots of folks from all over the country (and other countries) giving money directly to one of the entrepreneurs who was burned out by garage/cracks heroes.
http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/michael-brown-shooting/bakery-vandalized-ferguson-gets-nearly-200k-donations-n256931
It's an NBC link so naturally they made sure not to mention that Rush Limbaugh made this a cause celebre on his radio show and after that the donations skyrocketed.
The original target was $20k and they've raised over $200k!
Fantastic.
She should be able to get her bakery up and running in no time assuming garage and cracks heroes don't burn her out again.
As long as whites act like assholes,...
What if we turned it around? As long as blacks act like criminals...
Crack: "As long as whites act like assholes,.."
Does "acting like assholes" include reading the released GJ testimony and not simply relying on what some other lefty racist rabble-rouser idiot writes/says?
If so, guilty.
Jupiter,
"Well, he's right about the gun and washing the hands. That is from Wilson's testimony, and I thought it was strange."
It's beyond strange, it's criminal. In a murder case? People here were calling Obama "incompetent" because he didn't join him in freaking-the-fuck-out over a single case of ebola, but this? A symbol of professionalism, I gather?
"he was afraid that would mark him as the shooter, and he feared for his life"
As Meade would say, what was he afraid of? He and the cops have the guns and the training. Oh yeah - the "demon" is everywhere.
"violent savages"
Y'all can't help but give yourselves away.
We prefer the term "neighbors"....
Crack: "It's beyond strange, it's criminal. In a murder case?"
LOL
No, it's not criminal.
Why don't you go dig up that relevant statute for us to back up your garage-like assertion?
Don't worry, we won't wait.
I wonder when the rule "all whites must ..." became anything but racist. Really? All whites must quit being ass holes or what, exactly? How would this be enforced? Who would judge whether a white is an ass hole? Would there be a sign like in most factories "(insert number of days here) since the last white ass hole acted up"?
Fen's Law.
My black African and West Indian medical students would probably want to study Crack as an exotic species unrelated to human beings. They certainly would not want to have anything to do with him, as most non-American born blacks say.
They feel pity and revulsion that people who have been here hundreds of years and who have been free for 150, cannot make a nice life for themselves as everyone else can do. The West Indian students are descended from slaves but seem to have gotten over it.
Lyndon Johnson bears a good amount of the blame but some people can overcome adversity as people like Clarence Thomas, Ben Carson, Ward Connerly, Thomas Sowell, and Condaleeza Rice have done.
Crack: " People here were calling Obama "incompetent" because he didn't join him in freaking-the-fuck-out over a single case of ebola, but this"
I don't blame you for throwing in Ebola and everything else including the kitchen sink.
You've already beclowned yourself utterly on this thread and you need to shift the topic, fast.
Crack - do you really want to plant your flag of justice on Michael Brown of all people? Really?
That's correct. Jim Crow is over.
Michael K: "My black African and West Indian medical students would probably want to study Crack as an exotic species unrelated to human beings. They certainly would not want to have anything to do with him, as most non-American born blacks say."
You've got that right. The Africans I meet just stare in absolute wonder at the cracks of the world.
To be fair, I've tried to explain the long history of Jim Crow, segregation, economic/political policies (enacted by the lefties) which destroyed the black family when Jim Crow couldn't, but these africans won't have any of it. They simply do not accept these excuses.
One engineer asked me why, if racism was so bad, he never encountered it in school here, in business, in life? I told him that it was quite possible that if he was not a professional living where he does and conducting himself in a particular way that perhaps he very well might.
The whole point of this exercise is to keep blacks voting for Democrats at 95%. If that number drops to 85% Democrats are not a viable national party.
Crack Emcee,
I feel bad for the family and friends of Michael Brown. There have been deaths in my circle of friends and I presume my grieving experience, which was hard, gives me some insight into their grief. I am a white guy so I probably don't have any experiences that are similar to people prejudging me based on race without getting to know me.
I do have some experience with anger, self-pity, and depression. I am helped by reading the books and blogs of people who are encouragers. You can have a satisfying life of accomplishment even in bad circumstances not of your making. I am partially successful at that in my life. When I dwell on injustices in the past or my own missed opportunities I sink into anger, self-pity, and depression. It does no one any good. When I can decide I want to accomplish some task, make a plan, and complete it I feel good and others benefit, too. I have to remind myself many times that I have decided what I want and I need to adjust my plans frequently because I don't have the skill of predicting how long things take to do.
Have you had this experience? Are you commenting here as your plan to right the injustices of slavery and Jim Crow? Or do you have a goal to educate the Althouse community on the injustices done in the Michael Brown case?
I think you are up against a feeling that outlawing slavery, outlawing Jim Crow laws, and using a grand jury to weigh evidence are good things.
If you are trying to persuade us that more should be done I suggest you study the art of negotiation, persuasion, or selling. I have done so on my job. I found that the people who are successful at changing people's minds have techniques they have found to be successful.
Under Crack's formulation, spelled out here in the past, it is not possible for a white person not to be racist. I say then, why bother trying?
I will stick with keeping warm and open friendships with my black friends, and yes, that means staying away from politics, and tolerating their pro-Obama posts on Facebook, that gets even a family feed blocked. But as for the rest of it, why bother?
Drago:
If conduct drives the change in the experiences of your engineer acquaintance, then that cannot correctly be viewed as racism.
At this point I must bid you all adieu and "Happy Thanksgiving!"
Especially to you crack. I wish all the best to you and your children.
Drago,
"Does "acting like assholes" include reading the released GJ testimony and not simply relying on what some other lefty racist rabble-rouser idiot writes/says?"
Dude, I read Drudge, Hot Air, The National Review, and so on BUT - unfortunately - they're not prone to looking at another side, either, so I go where i have to go. You think that's "relying on what some other lefty racist rabble-rouser idiot writes/says?"
Well, it's no dumber than just relying on any one side.
That said, accepting finding Brown's DNA in the car - when we know Wilson had no oversight what-so-ever and was covered in blood he did with as he pleased - is so insane as to be unbelievable.
This ain't even close to done,...
Well, Crack, all I can say is I am glad I do not own any property in Ferguson MO.
I think it was "your people" who acted as assholes.
As the old saying goes: "It is an ill bird that fouls his own nest!"
Bill Cosby discovered who the real slave catchers are. They come after blacks who stray from the victimology plantation, as Bill did.
Birkel: "Drago:
If conduct drives the change in the experiences of your engineer acquaintance, then that cannot correctly be viewed as racism"
That was his point exactly. Not that there might not be racist feelings hidden underneath, but that how people conducted themselves with him revealed no tangible racist results.
You can tell he is an engineer.
The Crack Emcee is busily asking for new marching orders.
Crack the hopeless: "Dude, I read Drudge, Hot Air, The National Review, and so on BUT - unfortunately - they're not prone to looking at another side, either, so I go where i have to go."
LOL
Who is talking about going to those sites?
You can go directly to the documents themselves with no middleman.
How dense can you be?
And now you will double down with Officer Wilson scampering about with all these witnesses and placing evidence everywhere.
Absolutely hopeless.
And you're wrong. You can scream and shout some more if you like, but this is over. Very over.
You are just too dumb to know it yet.
This case and the trayvon martin case were chosen by the race baitors like Crack. There have to be legitimate cases of white on black violence. Somewhere a black person was shot by a white person and it was murder. We all know it happens. There is racism in the country and there are departments with systemic problems.
But the race hustlers knew neither of these cases would go anywhere. They need to have the white guy get off with no charges. And they need to spread lies about the case so black people stay on the victim plantation.
You are part of the problem crack.
You are yesterdays news crack.
Your dem overlords will keep you fired up over this kind of stuff because they are busy preparing to hand over all the cash and the keys to the kingdom to the hispanics.
But again, the dems still need you on board for at least a few more election cycles.
After that?
Adios amigo.
Michael K,
"My black African and West Indian medical students would probably want to study Crack as an exotic species unrelated to human beings. They certainly would not want to have anything to do with him, as most non-American born blacks say."
Hanging with you? No doubt.
"They feel pity and revulsion that people who have been here hundreds of years and who have been free for 150, cannot make a nice life for themselves as everyone else can do."
Everyone else, I'm sure you remind them, who didn't get shot in the face after years of FBI harassment - like Martin Luther King.
Everyone else, I'm sure you remind them, who didn't get their 4 little girls bombed - in church.
Everyone else, I'm sure you remind them, who didn't get one discriminatory connivence after another put on us in all walks of life, only to be discovered and then knocked down, just to pop up whack-a-mole style - nationally.
I'm sure those "black African and West Indian medical students" also looked at South Africa's odessey and thought "what losers" with the help of someone with so generous a spirit as you.
Yes, indeed, I'm sure it goes exactly as you tell it,...
Where's your admission that you were caught peddling other people's lies, The Crack Emcee?
@Achilles, I agree with you. I have been wondering why the gentry liberals would settle on the cases of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin to agitate about, when both were obvious open-and-shut instances of self defense. The only thing that makes sense is that the gentry liberals deliberately chose those two cases to turn into a cause celebre because the white guy would go free and that it would cause the race-baiters like Ta-Nehisi Coates and our own inimitable Crack to go batshit crazy.
Alex,
"Crack - do you really want to plant your flag of justice on Michael Brown of all people? Really?"
What's wrong with him? He was a kid. Dude, I've got family just like him. If I can control them, what's this guy's need to kill?
Oh, I get it: "Mike-Mike" wasn't some super-human perfect creation at 18, like you obviously were - and would expect to be in the ghetto - but you can accept he was a "demon" with super-human strength, including the ability to run through a hail of bullets, just because he smoked pot.
That's rational,...
It's archery.
The longbows are out.
It's all about keeping blacks voting for Democrats at 95%. Look at the House races. 15-20 of them would've swung with just a 10% change in black party affiliation. And I my guess is a preference cascade among blacks would not see only a 10% change, frankly.
That is why The Crack Emcee pushes other people's lies.
SDS students for a democratic society would mean today self destructive stupidity.
It's a black political movement, so far unnamed.
Either the 'I' or the 'my' should go.
For those of you who don't get the references, Dr. Martin Luther King was shot 46 years ago, in 1968. The four little girls died in the Birmingham church bombing in 1963, a full 51 years ago.
The response to the murder of Martin Luther King were urban riots. Just as in the case of Ferguson, the rioters mostly destroyed small, black-owned businesses. You see the problem for stone losers like Crack is that the hardworking small business owners demonstrate that you really can succeed in this country with grit and hard work (at least until your fellow blacks burn you out). It kind makes his endless complaints about how "the Man" won't let him succeed seem like the empty howls of a born loser, so those small business owners have to be burned out and brought down to his level of loser-hood.
What was it Robert Cook was saying yesterday about no threats in the USA?
Eric Berne in Games People Play had "Yes But," where the key player has a problem and every solution offered is met with "Yes, but..."
The counter-move, Berne says, is say"That's a tough problem you've got there," and walk away.
Look for a game of Rape-o ("Come hither, get away from me you beast"), he suggests.
Parties are large.
Hagar,
"Well, Crack, all I can say is I am glad I do not own any property in Ferguson MO."
No, but you're still an American, so play smug, like you ain't part of it, all you want: you're part of the problem.
"I think it was "your people" who acted as assholes."
And looking at the whole of American history on this majestic day, that's been different for American whites since when, exactly? Thanks.
"As the old saying goes: "It is an ill bird that fouls his own nest!""
Yeah.
Kinda makes you wonder why whites decided to start the place with slavery, huh?
Not exactly a bright idea,...
I've got family just like [Michael Brown, Jr.]
I hope you teach them not to try to punch out armed honky cops.
Crack, 50% of the founding fathers were not slave owners and wanted to end it right then but had to compromise to form the United States. You are a totally ignorant fool.
Crack
Explain the importance of DNA evidence in this case.
Thanks.
Be interested as well as in confirmation that nothing says social justice like burning down local drug stories with your Auntie's meds. Power to the "people"
The black middle class has been harmed by Gentry Leftist politics.
Blacks in the lower socio-economic strata have been hurt too. Increased levels of dependence on another, whether government or otherwise, is not a sign of improving conditions.
Gentry Liberals harm blacks in disproportionate measure.
Ann;
I refrained from calling Crack an asshole as he did me, a white man. Of course, he was generalizing so I guess that furthered the conversation. Crack is a one note song that can destroy your hard work in an instant. It is your choice to encourage that destruction.
tim in vermont,
"Bill Cosby discovered who the real slave catchers are. They come after blacks who stray from the victimology plantation, as Bill did."
Yep - he's your buddy:
“My problem is I’m tired of losing to white people. When I say I don’t care about white people, I mean let them say what they want to say. What can they say to me that’s worse than what their grandfather said?”
- Bill Cosby, The Poundcake Speech
Feel good to be allied with him now? Good, because you're not:
"Because white conservatives so poorly understand black people, they never quite understood Cosby or the organic black conservative tradition he was speaking out of. (I wrote about this for the magazine a few years back.) That tradition argues traditional conservative "up from your bootstraps" ideology, but has no real interest in acting as foil for white conservatives who want to downplay racism. When I interviewed Cosby back in 2007, he mentioned that his presence had been requested on Fox more than a few times, but that he'd declined. Cosby, and his black admirers, saw him in the tradition of Booker T. Washington, not Herman Cain.
This is an uncomfortable fact for white populists who'd like to use Cosby as a mouthpiece--or maybe not. If he won't say it, they'll just pretend he did."
- Ta-Nehisi Coates
Birkel,
"Where's your admission that you were caught peddling other people's lies, The Crack Emcee?"
I changed my position, based on new evidence, Birkel. Everyone saw it. Can you do that?
Can you admit Wilson had no crime scene oversight, or post-crime scene oversight either, and, thus, Brown's DNA in the car means nothing?
Come on, big boy: be a man,...
You lied and were called on it. You seemlessly changed your allegations without admitting error. Apologize.
You are a coward.
Alex,
"Crack, 50% of the founding fathers were not slave owners and wanted to end it right then but had to compromise to form the United States. You are a totally ignorant fool."
And what was happening - to the black people - while all that white consideration was going on?
See, it looks so much different when the subject of that thinking is real live human beings being raped, maimed, killed, forced to labor, having their children sold, eyes gouged out, working pregnant in the snow, and so forth.
White folks were thinking, for 256 years, you say?
My heart is definitely moved by that,...
Gentry Liberals are hurting blacks. The intellectual forebears of the Gentry Liberals were avowedly racist Democrats.
That the connection cannot be observed as the obvious fact it is reveals the lie.
Liberals are from the government party and they're here to help.
The dichromatic bridge with a narrow gap is a metaphor for abortion. The light half represents human lives not subject to population control schemes, including planned parenthood, one-child; while the dark half represents victims or deaths in that peculiar social institution; and the narrow gap represents survivors, both mother and, less often, child.
Those same racists put my forebears on reservations. Some of us had the good sense to leave the reservation.
Crack uses the word "neighbor" in a post to talk about his people. If burning down business of your "neighbor" is how you support each other I don't want any kind if your "neighbors" in my neighborhood. Who the hell treats your "neighbors" that way?
The behavior in Ferguson is nothing but thug behavior that is taught by the prior generation. If you want things to change you have to take charge of your own life and stop blaming the white man! Look in the mirror and say the words you say all the time and ask yourself if you would buy your argument.
Crackster notes;
'"violent savages"
Y'all can't help but give yourselves away.
We prefer the term "neighbors"....'
Crackster, I am on record that I am a white racist. I don't deny it, quite the opposite. I know that a large proportion of American blacks are shiftless, violent criminals, and those who aren't have "cousins" who are. I direct my actions accordingly. None of my best friends are black, and that's fine by me. And the last thing I want -- the very last -- is to call some violent savages like the ones in Ferguson "neighbors". They might as well put bones through their noses and carry spears. You want to call them neighbors, you're welcome to 'em.
Now you have a nice day. From the way you're writing, I'm guessing you must be sober today. One day at a time, right Crackster?
Disappointed to see the threat to the Gateway Arch. The company I worked for built it.
There's another metaphor, but it conspicuously excludes the diverse ethnic heritage of Americans. Perhaps The New Yorker is not observing, but rather fomenting an outcome. More playground journalism.
Big Mike,
"You see the problem for stone losers like Crack is that the hardworking small business owners demonstrate that you really can succeed in this country with grit and hard work (at least until your fellow blacks burn you out)."
You idiot - blacks have always succeeded. You forget "Black Wall Street" that was burnt down by whites.

Burn down your own liquor store! Your own supermarket! Your own drugstore!
Not five miles from the shithole of Ferguson are very rich white neighborhoods, great shopping centers, car dealerships. The whole American thing for the taking. And yet they burn the bitch down.

"The behavior in Ferguson is nothing but thug behavior that is taught by the prior generation."
By "the prior generation" - and since whites had total control before today - you HAVE to mean whites who burned down black towns, hung blacks in mob violence, and - while noting the loss of wealth by Ferguson property owners - who now want to pretend blacks lost nothing when whites did it to us, on a much larger scale, for over a century.
Living under all of that, taken together over hundreds of years, isn't enough to make people irrational every now and again.

The thing about the black Wall Street is that capital markets are intellectual, not physical. Burning down Wall Street, black brown or yellow, is meaningless. The bankers just move next door. You cannot burn down human capital, human energy, human ideas.
You have the wrong idea on Tulsa.

Michael,
"Burn down your own liquor store! Your own supermarket! Your own drugstore!"
I love this "your own" shit - in a place where few "own" anything.
Here's where you're talking about:
Some of the towns in St. Louis County can derive 40 percent or more of their annual revenue from the petty fines and fees collected by their municipal courts. A majority of these fines are for traffic offenses, but they can also include fines for fare-hopping on MetroLink (St. Louis’s light rail system), loud music and other noise ordinance violations, zoning violations for uncut grass or unkempt property, violations of occupancy permit restrictions, trespassing, wearing “saggy pants,” business license violations and vague infractions such as “disturbing the peace” or “affray” that give police officers a great deal of discretion to look for other violations. In a white paper released last month (PDF), the ArchCity Defenders found a large group of people outside the courthouse in Bel-Ridge who had been fined for not subscribing to the town’s only approved garbage collection service. They hadn’t been fined for having trash on their property, only for not paying for the only legal method the town had designated for disposing of trash.
Cool Valley is a town of 1,194 people. It is 84.5 percent black. Last year the court issued 1,871 arrest warrants. More incredibly, there are another 5,998 warrants from previous years still pending in Cool Valley, or more than five for every resident. In 2013, the Cool Valley Municipal Court collected $375,425 in fines, or $314 per resident. That’s about 34.5 percent of the town’s annual budget.
“There are now 26 different ways you can lose your license in St. Louis County,” he says. “There used to be five. You can now lose your license for things that have nothing to do with driving. We definitely have a problem with over-criminalization.” One local attorney pointed to a particularly good example of how poorly-written laws can be self-defeating: In Missouri, you can lose your driver’s license for failure to pay child support, a penalty that makes it nearly impossible to get or keep a job. And that of course makes it difficult to resume paying child support. The delinquent parent ends up in jail, and the child is no better off — and is probably quite a bit worse.
Lovely life,...

@Crack, Greenwood was burned out in 1921. Can you come up with anything in the past 50 years?
Folks, the key to Crack, and Eric Holder, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Sharpton and Rangel and other race-mongers is this. For a half century, since 1964, they have been living off white liberal guilt. But now we look at the threats of riots related to Trayvon Martin's case, the actual riots in Ferguson because some honky cop dared -- dared! -- to exercise his natural right to self defense, and the continued complaints about how racist the US despite electing a totally not up to the job black man as President, and we think maybe this has gone on too damned long. There still are plenty of white liberals out there wallowing in their alleged guilt, but the rest of us have grown up and moved on.
@Crack, time to quit whining and be a man. If you can.
Cowardice is the least positive trait I can imagine.

You support the racists that burned "Black Wall Street" down. You support the race hustlers, the ex-KKK party, the purveyors of Jim Crow, the Eugenicists.
You support the people who took a huge chunk out of the black middle class through a number of government policies. The wealth of Black Families dropped farther than any other subset after the mortgage crisis and during the Obama years.
You support the people who are segregating our public schools and shut down the programs that allow black people to escape them.
Yes the republican party is stupid and they don't know what they are talking about. Rand Paul is finally trying to open that line of communication and show how the government and progressive policy has destroyed Black opportunity and wealth. I think the Republican establishment is a false flag operation to divide people who value freedom and opportunity.
But the democrats and progressives are actively destroying black opportunity and freedom. And whenever something like this happens you trot yourself out there like a good little tool. The obvious aim of this was to cause racial division. The worst actors are out in Ferguson and they are meant to give all black a bad name. No reasonable person would say the LAPD doesn't have a problem. There are problems. But Darren Wilson was a poor target and Brown was an even worse hero. The left knew he was a thug, they had the video of him robbing the convenience store. There are legitimate problems but when black people act badly it does no good to call white people who call them out racists. Stop acting like there are teams and it is black people against white people. Team up with the people like me that see it the same way and you might get somewhere. Stop letting the progressives use race as a political tool.
"Crack, Greenwood was burned out in 1921."
The worst thing was when the whites used nuclear aircraft carriers to take out the 3/4 scale replica of the Eiffel tower in the Greenwood town square. The whites had already won, they did it just out of spite.
It had more lights than the real Eiffel tower in Paris. Course there was a pool hall in the basement. Twelve tables, each with its own spittoon made out of real brass.
Black people know what cannot be said. What clearly cannot be said is that the events of Ferguson do not begin with Michael Brown lying dead in the street, but with policies set forth by government at every level. What clearly cannot be said is that the people of Ferguson are regularly plundered, as their grandparents were plundered, and generally regarded as a slush-fund for the government that has pledged to protect them.

Get Mr. Coates to give us the reason it was OK to burn the bitch down. Their own little town. Their own liquor store, their own grocery, their own beauty shop, their own bakery, their own drugstore. Because 400 years of slavery caused them to act stupidly, like barbarians? Because 400 years of slavery made it impossible for them to control their emotions? Get TNC, your mentor, your very own brain, to explain.

You do not know what The Black Wall Street means, do you? Do you think there were gold bars there or stacks of money? That is not how it works, not how it works anywhere.

You can convince yourself that the black businessmen and women who were looted or burned out don't exist.
Go ahead. You have to believe that or what is already eating you alive will kill you dead. Physically. Morally.
Go ahead, tell yourself it is OK to burn down your neighbor's business. Tell yourself he doesn't own it
Pathetic.
Lawlessness happens when the law breaks down. That sounds like a tautology. It’s not.
When the law offers no recourse, a lawless response shouldn’t come as a surprise. Politically, such responses are usually counterproductive, providing fodder for those who favor discriminatory laws and policing. But when police departments routinely view young black men as an enemy population to be stopped, frisked, harassed, humiliated, beaten and occasionally shot, young black men can’t reasonably be expected to respect law enforcement. When drug laws incarcerate hundreds of thousands of young black men for nonviolent offenses — in clear contrast to the indifference with which police departments viewed the Prohibition violations of the white, urban poor of the 1920s, or the powder cocaine violations of the upper-middle class today — young black men may reasonably suspect that the laws criminalize skin color more than they do a banned substance. And when district attorneys and juries decline to indict or convict the police who kill young black men, even when audio or video evidence suggests the killing was, shall we say, discretionary, young black men might reasonably conclude the law provides them no protection from armed authorities run amok.

In his initial encounter with Mr. Brown and his friend in the street, Officer Wilson never exited his vehicle, voicing commands through the window of his cruiser instead.

Court documents reveal volatile home life of officer who shot Michael Brown - which grand jury never heard about
Policeman who shot teenager had previously been involved in violent row at his then girlfriend's ex-partner's house
Wilson was at the home with Barbara Spradling - woman he has now married - when her ex attacked the policeman, and damaged his car
Incident was just six months before death of Michael Brown and was followed by bitter ongoing custody dispute between wife and her older ex
Wilson was still married to his first wife during the incident, which resulted in ex being convicted of three misdemeanors
Grand jury was not told about his turbulent home life while they decided on his actions in shooting Michael Brown
Wilson married Spradling - a fellow officer - shortly before grand jury decision and they are now expecting first child together

You are what you are, dude. You could give one less of a shit about successful black people. You just want to spew your crap.
A Mental midget parrots the lies of others and then asks that anybody else in the world respect him. No.
No respect can be given to a cowardly liar. You lie in service of the Democrat Party which has instituted Gentry Liberal policies that have made poorer the black community. This poverty is reflected economically, ethically and morally. You play the fool.
And your response is to say you are ignoring me. Liar yet again.
You must be very concerned that more black voters will see the destruction of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco policies and rightly blame the Gentry Left. You claim to support blacks as a people while supporting Leftists. Those Leftists are lineal descendants of the racists you claim to hate.
I can only assume you are a race traitor by your own terms.
Everyone thinks they'll come up with some kind of insight that will cause Crack to pause in his thinking and say "gee, I never thought of that before, but you're right". It's like one of those rigged carney games where you simply have to put a ball through a hoop. But the hoop is set in such a way that the ball will only bounce off it........Just to establish a base line, I would like Crack's views on the Sacco Vanzetti case. Does he think that the left's protests that it was impossible for an Italian-American immigrant with radical olitical views to get a fair trial in America.......There are some cynics who claim that all those demonstrations were ginned up by the Commies to divert attention away from the famines in the Soviet Union where millions starved. But Crack might want to weigh in on how southern blacks were treated worse than Italian American immigrants. Maybe he even thinks that segregation was worse than starvation. At any rate I would be interested in his views on the Sacco case and whether or not the left manipulates these trials for ulterior purposes.
Now The Crack Emcee wishes me to hold responsible the police office for his now-wife's exes' behavior.
You are a pathetic coward in service of Gentry Leftists.

Hey, Crack, how did Wilson sinisterly plant Brown's blood and skin INSIDE THE POLICE CAR?

The Crack Emcee will never change; it is true. But as a kitten bats a ball of string with contempt for the feelings of string, so too I bat the cowardly liar. I do so because it is fun. As a minority, I cannot abide the fools who support their own impoverishment based on racist calculations over reason and experience.
Further, I wish to know the lies of the radicalized Lefists so I may see them more quickly when demonstrated by those who can be swayed by logic and reason. The lies are so often repeated. And I wish to gainsay them whenever I find them.
One NY Times reporter wrote a book about the Hiss case. She claimed that not only were the Pumpkin Papers forged, but that the FBI had forged the very typewriter that was used to type them.......,There is absolutely no evidence that can exonerate Wilson. On the other hand, any procedural mistakes in the investigation or any defects in Wilson's character are irrefutable proof of his guilt.
I lived and worked among black people most of my life. For the most part we got along ok, and I knew many who were kind and decent and worthy of every kind of praise. I also knew some who had a wild hair up their ass. And I also knew that the kind and decent people would not have my back if something went down.

Gotta keep an eye on those darn right-wing militias, now.
Darren Wilson was allowed to drive himself back to the station.
So? You mean his colleagues treated him with courtesy and understanding after the ordeal he had gone through? Fire them all!!
He was allowed to bag his own gun as evidence.
Again..so? The thug's blood was on the gun, and on the inside of the police car. (Some of the thug's flesh was inside the police car also) The evidence on the thug's body shows he was extremely close to, or touching the gun when it went off.
He was allowed to wash the blood off of his hands (to destroy evidence).
What possible evidence was being destroyed...no one was contesting the fact that the officer killed the thug.
"No, the worst was when they used planes to strafe the black residents of Tulsa."
I disagree. People can be replaced. But a 2/3 scale replica of the Eiffel tower with all the lights and the pool room with the brass spittoons?

Forget the white police dept., forget the white courts that make their living from the police writing bullshit tickets, forget the redlining and "whites only" provisions that long ago kept the place from integrating because whites made it known it was futile - forget all that.

And are you saying we're not that exceptional after all? And whites are just another collection of barbarians?
Yes, I think that's exactly what you're saying.
You'll be spouting KKK shit any time now,...
Brown gained control over a firearm yet left no prints. Guess we'll just have to take his word for it.
Were they claiming all men are created equal, too?
At the time White colonists began to practice slavery in the New World, no one believed that all men were created equal. Quite the opposite in fact.
White men invented the idea that all men were created equal quite a while after slavery was introduced to the European colonies.
I will start proofreading my posts....
"Wilson claimed Brown briefly gained control over his gun. How come Brown's prints were not found on Wilson's gun?"
The crime scene technicians had to decide whether to check the gun for DNA or fingerprints. They could not do both, because each test wiped out evidence of the other. They decided if there was a fight for the gun, DNA was the better bet and that's what they checked for.

Willing to climb a mountain of dead babies for his personal attainment now. disgusting when you think about it.

Blacks rioting: give me power.
Et fucking cetera.

So: Crack is still continually shitting on Althouse at his site, then coming here to her site to stand upon her guest chair and pontificate about character. You don't need self-awareness when you have self-rationalization. Evidently.
When I heard about the trouble in Ferguson, I remembered an observation by the white, liberal newspaper columnist Herb Caen (1916-1997) in the San Francisco Chronicle on January 30, 1970: "We sympathize, sincerely and generously, with the blacks, the people trapped in ghettos, the staring and the hopeless, and yet everything we try to do turns out ill-advised, insulting, condescending or so far wide of the mark as to be pointless."
Things haven't changed much.
It's time for fresh thinking -- without rancor and without political correctness. Political correctness obscures the truth.
Too many Americans (black and white) are stuck in the past. Today we have to operate in an interconnected world. Our big challenges are overseas. Dealing with domestic racial issues year after year after year is not good use of our time. Stop complaining. Identify the problems. Solve the problems quickly. And move on.

Gahrie:
It's a Judeo-Christian principle to judge people by their behavior (e.g. morality, content of character). I think this is the first religion or moral philosophy that departed from conventional forms of tribalism.
Gahrie:
They are exploiting psychological displacement. Specifically, that they are not responsible for the commission of crimes by virtue that someone else forced them to commit the crimes. This evokes empathy from people who may share similar circumstances. They simultaneously feel a brotherhood and empowerment. The former promotes tribalism and the latter promotes sanctimony.

Believing it is the duty of white persons to 'solve the Black problem' is the problem.

Darren Wilson was allowed to drive himself back to the station. He was allowed to bag his own gun as evidence. He was allowed to wash the blood off of his hands (to destroy evidence). He was allowed to be judged by the grand jury without finger prints or DNA evidence presented.
From that righty, anti-black website known as npr:
"Another important piece of evidence comes from DNA analysis. It revealed that Brown's blood was on Officer Wilson's gun (a Sig Sauer P229) and on the inside of his police vehicle."
It seems that the St.Louis County investigators and their federal counterparts obtained a lot more DNA and blood proof than Crack would want them to have gotten. An obvious dislike for white police officers provides no excuse for Crack's blatant racism.
White men invented the idea that all men were created equal quite a while after slavery was introduced to the European colonies.
Ah, no. The legal and moral concept that “all men are equal” was invented, not a couple centuries ago by the American founding fathers, but by stoicism-steeped ancient Roman jurists more than 2,000 years ago.
"Controlling the narrative" is a win for some people.
Many years ago I read a post-election interview with a Democratic candidate for some local position. He had lost the election. I lived in an area where both parties regularly won so he probably had a chance to win.
He had been quite vocal about some issues the winner did not see as very important and may have never mentioned.
The losing candidate conceded the election on election night. He told the reporter that his efforts were not completely wasted because the other candidate was forced to talk about issues he would not otherwise have brought up. Simply "controlling the narrative" brought him satisfaction.
Crack, I don't see how Wilson could have benefitted from the actions you focused on. But I do see that you are controlling the narrative here. I that something of value to you?

Rioting isn’t right. But they just want people to know what’s happening.”
What's happening is DeTyrone's getting LaQuanisha a new TV.
Oh yeah, and Crack, I agree with Cosby as you quoted him too. I don't deny racism, I just don't think that there is some other economic system out there that is going to magically solve the problems of racism.
But that authenticity was no protection, was it?
