Draggingtree Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Failure in Ferguson Rooted In “God Damn America” The legacy of Jeremiah Wright's racist teachingBy: Steve Berman (Diary) | November 25th, 2014 at 09:16 AM Justice is the furthest thing from what is going on in Ferguson. That’s not because the legal system, as it’s constructed, failed. The legal system did not fail. A grand jury’s job is to decide whether to issue an indictment when potential charges have been presented. The St. Louis County grand jury, a body of laypeople, not law enforcement, lawyers, or politicians, examined evidence in the Michael Brown shooting for three months. They decided not to issue an indictment on any charge against officer Darren Wilson. The legal system worked. What has failed is leadership. When President Obama took office, our nation had high hopes for race relations, or at least some of us did. I didn’t. My pessimism can be summed up in one name: Jeremiah Wright. If there’s a more racist sitting pastor* of a church of over 3,000, I am unaware of it. The Obamas attended Wright’s church for 20 years. If I attend a church where the doctrine is “off” for me, I’m gone in a month http://www.redstate.com/www.redstate.com/diary/lifeofgrace/2014/11/25/failure-ferguson-rooted-god-damn-america/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Why Ferguson? Posted on | November 25, 2014 “Fox and CNN viewers witnessed a police car, a car dealership and the local Little Caesar’s Pizza set ablaze, a beauticians’ store looted, a McDonald’s with its windows smashed — and ‘Full circle: Liquor store Michael Brown accused of robbing being looted.'” — Ed Driscoll, Nov. 24, 2014 The grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, returned a “no bill” against police officer Darren Wilson, and devotees of the slain Saint Michael Brown — a martyr to the Holy Cause, in the eyes of idolators who worship at the Civil Rights altar — engaged in a ritual riot, while the High Priest of Social Justice, Barack Obama, gave a ceremonial press statement.

Draggingtree Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Sorry, But The Ferguson Grand Jury Got It RightEven if many of your grievances are legitimate, "justice" doesn't exist to mollify your anger. NOVEMBER 25, 2014 By David Harsanyi For many in the media, the Ferguson grand jury’s decision was going to confirm the existence of deep American injustice one way or another. If it found there was insufficient evidence for an indictment against Darren Wilson, it would mean that the American justice system was corrupt, unjust, and rife with racism. If the grand jury decided to move forward with an indictment, it could only mean that American law enforcement was corrupt, unjust, and rife with racism. Even if many of your grievances are legitimate, “justice” doesn’t exist to soothe your anger. In the end, there wasn’t probable cause to file charges against Wilson. And after all the intense coverage and build-up the predictable happened http://thefederalist.com/2014/11/25/sorry-but-the-ferguson-grand-jury-got-it-right/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What isn't speculation is that the National Guard was at the town, but did not move in to restore order until this morning, after dozens of businesses had already been looted and/or burned to the ground. Ferguson's mayor did request that the Guard be deployed -- and he was ignored. Nice Deb makes a good point -- stop referring to violence and arson as "protests."

SrWoodchuck Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 'Xactly, @Pepper! Recent observations...... I see that Holder & the "boys" at the Department of JustUs....sent by Emperor Oblunder....plan an investigation into the civil rights violations of Mike Brown by Officer Wilson & the Ferguson P.D. Will they find that Wilson & Ferguson P.D., have acted "stoopidly"....and then invite them to Oblunder's Homie Crib for some Barley Pops? Luckily for Mike Brown....he had more than one father.....so they'll be able to handle the Mike Brown Injustice Collective & T-Shirt Concession properly. Best stay out 'de way of Mom Brown, though....they get a pipe up side the head. I can't figure which makes me want to wretch more: pResident Twinkle-Toe calling for calm, after meeting with the criminals last week & exhorting them to "Stay the Course." Preciously coddled Ferguson rioters, killing & burning over the injustice of a young thug getting his justice on the spot.... Ferguson & Missouri officials that fawn over these ignorant selfish malcontents, kiss their butts & allow their deadly & costly tantrums.....

Pepper Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Professors leading the way to racial calm America’s racist god requires black people’s blood to atone for the sins committed by its followers. This time, the blood shed in sacrifice to this god of white supremacy was Michael Brown’s. Darren Wilson, an agent of that god, was vindicated. For his reward, he is showered with blood money from other followers of the racist god. … While I still believe that the nation is obsessed with a punitive Christianity, I would add that white supremacy linked to an American theology of atonement means that brown and black bodies will always be sacrificed, whiteness is the standard, and that the thirst for power and blood is never slaked, never ending.

Draggingtree Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Dear Media: How Not to Screw Up the Next Ferguson By Robert Tracinski NOVEMBER 26, 2014 I hate to say, “I told you so.” No, really, I hate it. The city of Ferguson, Missouri, is in flames yet again as angry mobs—largely composed of outside agitators—vent their rage against “the system” after a grand jury refused to indict a white police officer for shooting a young black man. All of that destruction could have been prevented if the media knew its own business and didn’t need constant reminders from people like me about how to report on the use of deadly force. Specifically, I warned them about Zimmerman Amnesia, the dogged failure to learn from the media’s mistakes in reporting previous cases. H]ere we go making all of the same mistakes we made in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case, where reporters did their usual bang-up job of writing the story first and then gathering the facts—only to see much of the early narrative about the shooting dissolve before the case even http://thefederalist.com/2014/11/26/dear-media-how-not-to-screw-up-the-next-ferguson/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 The Ferguson Evidence By ROD DREHER • November 25, 2014, 9:10 AM simez78/Shutterstock Conor Friedersdorf — who, by the way, has been highly critical of police tactics in general — says that one reason Officer Wilson was not indicted was because ofinconsistent, even contradictory, statements by witnesses. He quotes the statements from the grand jury documents, then concludes: I haven’t yet had time to go through all the documents released by St. Louis County, but based on these witness statements, I can see why the grand jury would have reason to doubt whether Officer Wilson committed a crime. At least some witnesses corroborate his story. Some that don’t contradict one another. If the witnesses above all testified in a criminal trial, it’s hard to imagine that a jury would fail to have reasonable doubts about what really happened. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/the-ferguson-evidence/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Jacobson of Legal Insurrection reminds us of the largely forgotten incident in which a peace officer died only a few months prior to the death of Michael Brown, strong arm robber, now being lionized by some as a hero and martyr.

Draggingtree Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ferguson grand jury witnesses often cited fear in testifyingPosted by Jammie on Nov 26, 2014 at 10:18 pm This witness was scared. He had Googled himself and found the phrase: “Snitches get stitches.” He was scared that black neighbors would find fault with his description of what happened when a white police officer, Darren Wilson, shot dead an unarmed black man, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Mo. He was scared that white supremacists would accuse him of hurting Wilson’s case. “I do think of the Ku Klux Klan. I do,” he told investigators. From the first day a grand jury met, it is clear that fear and anxiety played major roles in the struggle to paint a precise picture of what unfolded between Wilson and Brown on Aug. 9. The jurors’ decision not to indict Wilson prompted prosecutors to make public more than 4,700 pages of transcripts and reports in hope of quashing suspicions that Wilson got away with murder. The tactic did not work, and rioting erupted in Ferguson this week. http://www.jammiewf.com/2014/ferguson-grand-jury-witnesses-often-cited-fear-in-testifying/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Time: ‘Riots are a necessary part of the evolution of society’Posted by Jammie on Nov 26, 2014 at 10:39 am More like going back to the Stone Age. When a police officer shoots a young, unarmed black man in the streets, then does not face indictment, anger in the community is inevitable. It’s what we do with that anger that counts. In such a case, is rioting so wrong? Riots are a necessary part of the evolution of society. Unfortunately, we do not live in a universal utopia where people have the basic human rights they deserve simply for existing, and until we get there, the legitimate frustration, sorrow and pain of the marginalized voices will boil over, spilling out into our streets. As “normal” citizens watch the events of Ferguson unfurl on their television screens and Twitter feeds, there is a lot of head shaking, finger pointing, and privileged explanation going on. Wait, what? What on earth is privileged explanation? But hey, she’s on a roll. http://www.jammiewf.com/2014/time-riots-are-a-necessary-part-of-the-evolution-of-society/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet here I am again... #Ferguson Eye Witness Intimidation: Chilling Details Andrew Branca Friday, November 28, 2014 (Snip) I’ve reproduced the relevant section of Interview #4 below, and the entire length of that interview is embedded at the bottom of this post. (This interview did not take place before the Grand Jury itself, but rather the audio recording of the interview conducted at an earlier date was played for the Grand Jury.) There are three interviewers, whom I have labelled (as best I was able to discern from the transcript) as “Unknown,” “Mr.,” and “Ms.,” at least one of whom is an FBI Special Agent and another of which is an attorney with the prosecutor’s office. (It is possible the “unknown” category should be assigned to some combination of “Mr.” and “Ms.”) The witness is labelled as “I4.” All identities and identifying information has been redacted in the official transcript. The interview has been going on for some time when one of the persons leading the questioning interrupts the substantive discussion: (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand the execrable hosts. It used to be a news show back when I grew up, but today it is anything but. You no longer can discern where the Today Show ends and where The View andEntertainment Tonight begin. They’ve all morphed into the same thing. In no way can any of them be considered “news” or “informative.” Woe unto those who watch The Today show and think otherwise. It is the very definition of one sided. The Today Show description says this: NBC News pioneered the morning news program when it launched TODAY in 1952 with Dave Garroway as host. The live broadcast provides the latest in domestic and international news, weather reports, and interviews with newsmakers from the worlds of politics, business, media, entertainment and sports.

Draggingtree Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 November 28, 2014 The Strange Case of Ferguson Witness 40By Jack Cashill Easily the strangest of all the documents that have emerged from the Darren Wilson grand jury is the one attributed to Witness 40. These are the pages pulled from her -- I assume her based on writing style -- diary entries from the day Michael Brown was shot, August 9, 2014. She does not appear to have been interviewed. On the face of things, Witness 40 fullycorroborates the testimony of Officer Wilson. I leave the grammar uncorrected. “The cop was wobbling,” she wrote from her anxious perch in a silver Pontiac stopped behind Wilson’s car, “the big kid turned and had his arms out with attitude. The cop just stood there dang if that kid didn't start running right at the cop like a football player, head down.” http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/11/the_strange_case_of_ferguson_witness_40.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
