This is an incredibly classy gesture.

It doesn't appear very classy to pay for a funeral for someone beat up a cop and robbed a convenience store. Is that what that fraternity stands for?

No, but a funeral is for the living, not the dead. No matter what Michael Brown did nor did not do, he left behind people who are grieving the fact that he is dead and that they will never see him again. As far as I'm concerned, Alpha Phi Alpha is reaching out to comfort people they don't even know, who possibly don't have the means to give their loved one the service they would like him to have. And that to me is a very classy gesture.

An eye witness account (supposedly) seems to corroborate the police officer's account of what happened.

I can't take seriously anything on IJR, it's biased and hopefully you know that. I wouldn't take anything seriously from its liberal counterparts, either, but IJR and Matt Walsh type blogs have zero interest in both sides. Listened to that audio and it was difficult to hear at the end if he was referring to the cop going after him or the kid coming back. I have a hard trouble believing that, with his gun drawn, someone would charge from 35 feet toward a cop especially when ALL other accounts say he was running away.

Plus, you see in this video, that displaying his dead body with his MOTHER nearby would be enough to raise tensions. They needed to cover it or the area. It was laying out for hours and didn't need to be that on display even for police report purposes.

I ignore any content they produce. I just watched the video. It is, of course, important that the speaker is off camera, which means the speaker's audio could have been added to the video of the scene.

From the shop video, we can tell the kid was pretty aggressive. Who knows how someone that aggressive/stupid is going to react when they're looking at the possibility of some pretty serious time?

We normally ignore Madmax. LOL.

For the record, there have been protests and riots about non-police white-on-Black crime. Those aren't the only interracial violence protests.

Communities speaking out against Black-on-Black violence are typically doing so in response to high incidents and rates. They tend not to be pretending to eradicate crime and violence. They know violence and crime exist and are typically carried out intraracially.

It is always good to see people making lemonade out of lemons with voter registration.

I was annoyed when the on-site news correspondent said some of the unruly/antsy people were complaining that the community leaders and religious leaders were having meetings and silent protests while there were unruly people in need of guidance and direction. "Tell us what we can do...we need guidance." There goes the victim mentality again. Unsupervised teens need to have their butts at home after the peaceful protests have ended. Legal adults need to get their head out of their asses and stop NEEDING someone to tell them to stop looting and crowding streets and corners at night. Stop NEEDING someone to tell you to find something productive to do with your anger. Even with chronic unemployment and underemployment, a moment of regretful stupidity, okay. Ongoing stupidity, give me a break.

"Murdering Multiculturalism is by far the best and most eloquently written book explaining the true reason for to the decline of western civilization, particularity in America. Although this book is primarily a wake-up call for the oppressed European-American white majority, the author, Joe Adams, expresses his irrefutable viewpoints in such a way that it could be understood and appreciated by a reader of any race who has the ability to set aside their emotional reactions to Marxist Pavlovian trigger words/labels and uses their logic to realize his clear message: Multiculturalism is death sentence to ANY society, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, and politics; it simply does not work, it has never worked, and it will never work. Adams delivers his message in only 130 pages; it is a short and easy read with an irrefutable powerful message that anyone can digest. It is a must read for everyone interested in politics!!!"

LOL. What?! I.. just.. can't…

Newsweek has a good story on what some of the corruption in the police and courts looks like in Ferguson.

People like Madmax are aware of such programs and use the perceived necessity of such programs as evidence that Blacks are inherently violent and lesser than. That's why we usually ignore people like Madmax.

Anyway, we shall see whether Nelly's involvement will make a difference in Ferguson.

At least he's from here. (Well, he's from University City, but close enough.)

And I know I should not feed the trolls, but sometimes I like smacking them.
