Running gun violence thread

Based on current video from Ferguson it appears that the state
police have things under control. The curfew has worked.

 

Now, now ... 'Tis nobler to light a candle than curse his darkness.

 

Is MSNBC's Al Sharpton at the riot or back at The St Louis Ritz Carlton?

 

Has written a ton for National Review. Frequent guest host of the Rush Limbaugh show. Thanks to his relationship with Conrad Black, he's been published all over the English speaking world.

And, maybe most famously for liberals, he's being sued by Michael Mann for "defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress".

I'd never heard of the "dude" before today.

But, I thought he made some good points today in his speech.

 

Our latest reporter vying to become a part of the story, and land on the cable networks to talk about his experience:

Put in handcuffs, but then released.

 

Sounds like the Gov. and the State Highway Patrol have things well under control:

 

Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a police officer, sparking protests around the nation, was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a preliminary private autopsy performed on Sunday found.

One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said.

Mr. Brown, 18, was also shot four times in the right arm, he said, adding that all the bullets were fired into his front.

If he's a radio guy who also writes, then yes, I live in a bubble, free of AM and FM radio chatter.

In addition to his writing, his most notable claim to fame is being the guy who subs in for Rush Limbaugh.

I didn't know that until I googled and at least I was curious enough to find out more about him.

As to the dashboard cameras, the principles of free shit economics are at work here.

Ferguson, like most other municipal police departments has been getting the squeeze. Officers are getting laid off around the country, budgets are getting slashed and the feds show up with a key to the warehouse of free shit and telling those chiefs and mayors for the cities to take what they want.

They'd be fools to turn it down. Of course the cops don't get the training or know how but every department had enough ex-military guys to where they can wing it.

But that doesn't put more cops on the street or give them the training to deal with people.

Saying that the cops didn't have the money to install the cameras is stupid and bullshit. Two cameras for a 51-man department means they didn't want them in the first place since that would mean at least a couple dozen cars wouldn't have been equipped them.

And Ferguson has went to hell in a handbasket tonight.

Many are simply incapable of independent thought.
Even as they are uninformed, they still can't make a point without a capricious maligning of anyone right of center.

 

He's a writer.

Because of differing legal strategies, he no longer writes for National Review. (They were both sued by Mann.) But, he's written numerous cover stories for them.

He is one of a number of guest hosts for Limbaugh.

He's highly thought of on the right. And, unknown to bubble boys on the left.

 

Reporters desperately trying to get arrested are becoming as ubiquitous as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Who is Klemko going to nominate to get arrested next?
