Thread: My neighborhood tonight

Hours after officer Yanez is found not guilty, marchers head on I-94 - StarTribune.com

Brutal.

We live in very different environments.

I saw a photo of some of the protesters blocking 94. A banner said "We're not leaving until justice is served."

I'd like to know what that means to the protesters.

Mob rules?

I was under the impression that there only were two black jurors.

well I lived thru the nightmare of having my son working in that riot in St Louis a couple of years ago, the people who riot like that just goes to show why some LEO are quick to the draw. the man was tried and found not guilty, but I guess its just an excuse to loot and burn the neighborhoods. I don't want to see any more of this behavior from supposedly civilized humans. I feel for the family, but as what happened with my son up there, the riot was misplaced anger as the man was wrong. so we really still don't know what happened because the only story that the woman gave seemed to the jury was not consistent. its a bad situation all around, man killed and an Officer who will more than likely have lost his job. ya,ll be safe up there Tc

See the third paragraph; this may be wrong.

It means free stuff. Weave, flat screens Jordans etc. Nothing says social justice like stealing stuff you normally couldn't afford and doing it under the guise of "justice" for MikeBrownFreddyGrayTreyvonMartinPhilandoCastille etc. etc. etc. It's getting quite old. I'm tired of seeing neighborhoods that are most often teetering on insolvency being burned to the ground and destroyed by criminals and disguising it as "protest".

Man, They had a protest down HERE in Houston about it yesterday.

Local news interviewed a woman who stated it was not about Castille's race? Yeah?

I often wonder if any of these folks have jobs. Also, wonder about theories someone is paying them to protest.

One of the more recent "protests" that happened in response to the Charleston shooting had the local sheriff on tv. He stated that over 70% of "protesters" that were arrested weren't even from the county. Most were from out of state. When you look were these events take place they are in predominately black neighborhoods in the inner city. What is witnessed, however is when the cameras roll there are a lot of skinny jean, goatee hipster WHITE d-bags in the crowd. They ARE NOT locals. They have pre-made signs, backpacks full of counter measure equipment ie; milk for their pepper sprayed eyes, mega phones, first aid kits etc. These are not spontaneous "protests" to right a social wrong, they are premeditated and paid protests. Rent-A-Mob.
