That quote really fucking pisses me off. Vandalism is NOT violence, people. You cannot do violence to a Walgreens or a window. Violence is, say, shooting someone 6 times. Violence is systematically criminalizing black bodies. Violence is the chronic incarceration and murder of black men ... but it is not looting a…
I want to be all, "Guys! Be cool!"
KEEP WATCHING AL JAZEERA. ROBERT RAYE IS IN THE HELLHOLE OF IT ALL. SOME UPSTARTS ARE INTIMIDATING POLICE BY HIS LOCATION. SOME SHIT'S GONNA GO DOWN.
Mama CaptainBromerica's boyfriend is one of the firefighters currently working and apparently an accelerant was used for a few of the fires, so the temperatures are very hot and conditions are dangerous. Everyone please stay safe!
On twitter from some Americans there is more outrage about protesters burning the American flag than there is about innocent black lives being taken. Probably an unpopular opinion but i am glad they burnt it.
I just can't imagine the pain being felt about this. My prayers to everyone in Ferguson for safety and healing.
That picture of Mike Brown, Sr.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, your work on this Rebecca - and all the Jez team - has been outstanding. I'm watching this unfold mainly through the Jez site. Thank you for keeping us informed.
Despite pleas for peace from Michael Brown's family and President Barack Obama, violence broke out in parts of…
Wouldn't want to interrupt America's need to judge celebrities dancing the paso doble. (To their credit, the station has apologized.)
He's gotten married and a stack of cash since he murdered Mike Brown, and still their is no acknowledgement of the grief that the Brown family is feeling.
Thank you, Darren Wilson. Thank you for showing us exactly how horrible of a human being you are and not mentioning Michaels Brown's family, expressing remorse for killing a human being or even acknowledging that you caused harm. Darren Wilson, you are a garbage person. May you suffer the same anguish as Michael…
Agreed. Is it not enough that he gets to walk free? He can't summon up even a shred of sympathy, much less remorse, for killing an unarmed young man?
Where is the empathy in Wilson's statement? Even if Wilson was telling the truth how can he (his people) not show the slightest bit of compassion?
This entire thing, from top to bottom, has been an absolute shit show. That... crazed, ranting, barely in touch with reality speech from the prosecutor was the final straw. Every single part of this was handled in the absolute worst and most wrong way possible. I am just in AWE of how badly this was conducted.
Moving forward, any commentary on this matter will be done in the appropriate venue and not in the media.
