Racial divide on Ferguson indictment is almost identical to 2014 House vote

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.

Since I'm a Green, where does that leave me?

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.

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.

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.

99% of the rioting vandals arern't registered voters.


Your 'politics' really are just a pretext for fundamental character flaws.

Please stop making grotesque posts which embarrass the rest of blue avatars.

The mirror doesn't make people fat, and the social commentary isn't the problem. If people don't like the macabre harlequin slapstick on the news every night, they need to mend their ways.

Truth.  AggregateDemand is the cancer of southern blue avatars, making us respectable ones like me, Yankee, and Del Tachi look bad.

You guys believe that once you disperse the crowds, the circumstances that led to the rioting will also disappear. Truth is that some of you are dumber than the Democrats who support property destruction and violence against police as a means of demonstrating.

Blue avatar stands for competence, not propriety and piousness. You see all of these people wrecking their own towns and stealing as a means of acquiring modest amenities? They exist because you let the Donkeys run roughshod over the lower middle classes, and they persist because you're not willing to fix any problem that creates moral ambiguity or challenges your narrow interpretation of moral propriety. You're like a bunch of missionaries who worry about the damage to their reputation if someone sees them witnessing at a whore house.

The orange and green avatars know more about the depths of Democratic depravity than you clowns. They incorrectly identify it as neoliberalism, but at least they can see it.

Could you please clarify that using more simple language?  What do you mean by "moral ambiguity" and what have you actually proposed to help these people?

I'm talking about policy like EITC expansion that many pious conservatives won't put through because apparently they prefer to pay Welfare and then complain. Most Republicans couldn't care less about the state of inner-city schools and they don't push vouchers or charter schools. They also tolerate the educational cartel-power wielded by wealthy suburbs. Republicans generally scoff at Paul's proposal for aiming tax cuts at poor localities rather than upper-income tax brackets.

Civility towards Democrats, who often make the problem worse, does not make many Republicans respectable or tolerable. You simply refuse to get your hands dirty.
