I think it means it's mostly only Republicans who support the failure to indict.

It means that the perverse, crippling football team mentality continues to plague every social and political issue that becomes remotely important.

Getting a little tired of this shtick from my fellows on the left. You're not going to win anyone over to your side with that kind of nonsense.

As a rule I defer to the findings of a criminal court -- and if it is a choice between treating Darren Wilson as a sacrificial goat so that a bad police force gets away with its apparent awfulness in community relations and officer training, Darren Wilson must avoid punishment and the police force needs major reforms.

Wilson should have had and used a taser -- but he was apparently never trained in its use, let alone made comfortable using it.

Wilson's police report was adequately corroborated.

It is nonsense, even the most hardened racist is capable of reform. And learning a bit of human relations is necessary in this business.

So Democrats are rioting and burning down their own commercial districts and economic opportunities. Tell us something we didn't already know.

Ferguson is a microcosm. Democratic voters can only rage, and give world-class amateur productions of Les Miserable. Republicans sit in the audience with their popcorn buckets and evaluate the individual performances.

Sharpton could use some acting lessons, imo.

You're watching Republicans watch the Les Miserable larp fest and asking "how can people be so cruel?" and "how can anyone believe in this sort of system?".

Libertarians are outside of the theater, handing out fliers to tell people most of the problems have already been solved by embracing social and economic freedom, rather than choosing one or the other.

You live in Missouri.  Even when you tell someone you're from Kansas City, no one is going to think you're awesome or anything.

The geographical elitism on this board is sickening.  Let me guess, Maine and Vermont aren't hick states because they vote for your favorite team's party's nominee?  Just stupid.

It's Les Misérables. You might benefit from reading it.

If anything is proof of not having read a book, it's failure to put the silent consonants on the end of French words.

Do you even believe the stuff you type? A man was killed. His murderer walks free. His community reacts. And that's what you call a world class amateur production? You probably live in your safe little world in who knows where, and honestly who cares. The opinion of trash is meaningless. I hope you read this before it disappears. You will never understand injustice. You will never understand loss. You will never understand oppression because the system works for you, and only you. But you don't know that, and so you feel safe to look down on those who are oppressed and judge them for standing up for themselves.

but America elected a black President*, therefore racism is over; and what about the reverse racism?!

*with ACORN's help (of course).

The system does not work for him unless he is a member of the owning class. You do not understand the contradictory nature of capitalism.

I don't wish to pour more fuel on the fire, but I doubt your family has been gunned down in the streets by police officers, which means your post is just another work of Oscar-worthy political pap. If that is not the case, my condolences.

The system doesn't really work for anyone. Even the wealthiest of the wealthy are reliant upon easing to support their fortunes, and the United States is forcing them to invest in foreign markets by poisoning the lower-middle class in the United States. Some people suffer more and some people don't really suffer at all, and every minute we spend crying about disproportionate suffering is another minute we should have spent trying to fix the problem.

We've been crying for 50 years. It's time to move on. Burning down your own town to avenge the death of an alleged felon doesn't get you anywhere, even if you believe the felon shouldn't have been shot.

Im asian and most of my circle is mainly asian, make it 75% for approval of the grand jury's decision.


Being on the sidelines from the racial politics, a lot more of us have read the evidence and taken the events as a whole instead of taking one piece for racial agitation.


The 25% that don't are usually hard left/liberal/progressive holdouts who have decided to ignore the evidence in order to be social justice warriors.






Also the only education group that disapproves of the decision by net per net, is those with high school education or less.
