Well, all of the rioters, looters, and the fools on CNN have got to be feeling a bit silly, eh? (Well, I am, after all, an optimist...) LOL

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath. It will just be deemed another coverup.

HOLY CARP!!!
The first time I saw this news, yesterday or a couple days ago, the title of the link on cnn.com was something along the lines of "new developments stir new protests in Ferguson". So something that should have done something to assuage protests is, according to the media, "stirring protests".

There was also a link called "The new normal in Ferguson", which was about the fact that protesters are there 24/7 and will be for the foreseeable future. I think that story included a quote from one protester who warned the journalist essentially that shit's gonna get real unless this cop gets charged and convicted. The quote was presented without judgement, as if it was a reasonable thing to say or think.

I would not at all feel safe as a white person among that crowd of protesters filled with people concerned with social justice.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

The rioters got a few color TV's, CNN got some viewers, the police got some overtime and combat pay, the politicians got some publicity.

Other than the cigarillo thief and the officer involved, and maybe some insurance companies, I see a lot of satisfied customers.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Just a tad cynical and probably the complete Truth.
