Several things to ponder

The minority rules a lot of things
In Gaza we’re told that a small minority of Hamas dopes elected by the Palestinian people are ruining everything for the Palestinian people who elected them.  Writ large, we’re told a small minority of Muslims are engaging in the wonton slaughter of anyone not in total lock-step with their backward way of thinking.  Yet destruction and murder are the only things ever heard from the “religion of peace.” In Ferguson we’re told only small percentage of the people there are engaging in unlawful activities there.  Those activities are the only one filling the TV cable news feeds and the nightly news. A minority of Americans support the Affordable Care Act.  It is the law of the land.  The tiniest minority of Americans supports an open southern border but we do NOTHING to secure that situation. 

I don’t know.  Maybe the best strategy is let the loons take over – I know, as if they haven’t already.  Declare yourself an oppressed minority.  Demand your “rights.”  That strategy seems to work in everything from having your neighbor pay for your birth control to allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens stream across our southern border unfettered.

I worry that we’re like the lobster dumped into a pot.  We don’t know we’re being cooked until it’s too late.  Can we ever extricate ourselves from the mess that we’ve allowed a minority to get us into?  I dunno.

Fergusson = Gaza
In the post under Lex compared Ferguson to Gaza.  The pictures are not all that dissimilar.  We get a steady diet of destruction in Gaza and in Ferguson.  Stores destroyed, militant Islamo-Terror-Fascists calling for the destruction of Israel, militant rioters calling for the murder of police officers, reporters taking sides – the wrong side I might add, calls for peace that are ignored by one side.  Ferguson rioters have also been seen with Palestinian flags and “ISIS is here” signs.  So…

Mike Brown
He may have been a heck of a nice guy.  From the limited info available about him, I doubt it.  There’s the convenient store robbery.  There’s the altercation with a police officer that led to his death.  There is the less than flattering photo montage of Brown giving the camera the finger when he’s not flashing a Bloods Gang signs.

In spite of lapdog MSM BS artist’s attempt to suppress it, we’re getting a none too flattering picture of Mike Brown.  In an effort to put the 6’4” 300+ lbs Brown in the best possible light, he is called a gentle giant,” a teenager and even a “boy” in the MSM.

The story is that the MSM is peddling is that poor Mike was minding his own business walking home (in the middle of the street with box of stolen cigars) when a cop started to harass him (harassment here is a request to get out of the middle of the street).  Then the cop implausibly tries to pull poor 300+ lbs Mike into his squad car through the driver’s side window.  Poor Mike breaks a way and tries to make a run for it when the cop shoots poor Mike down in the back in cold blood (two autopsies show all shot fired either were front to back or inconclusive).

With few of the facts fully know, but at least enough for Mo. Gov Jay Nixon to call for Wilson “vigorous prosecution,” the streets of Ferguson have been lit up for 10 days now.  The Attorney General of the United States shows up in Ferguson to not to ensure a fair investigation but rather to proclaim he was a black guy who had experienced racial profiling.  Well, if ending up like the wad or The Empty Suit is a result of racial profiling, sign me up.

It’s pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain (No. Dopes won’t get this point.) that Wilson is being strapped into a coach class seat on a runaway train for what is lie to be the most obvious railroad job ever.  When you have the governor of the state and the US Attorney General taking sides against you, justice is the last thing anyone is interest in here.

The MSM and glitterati do not care.  Celebs, MSM and even some A-hole politicians will side with guilty as hell cop killers but will not wait for the facts to come from this incident.  America sucks.  Cops represent America.  Cops suck.  All of the reporting on Ferguson – just like in Gaza - is from one perspective.  Mike Brown good.  Cop bad.

Give cops .45s
This crossed my mind while installing fence yesterday.  What if the first or second shot from Officer Wilson took Brown down without killing him?  Probably the exact same riots and looting etc.

I don’t know what kind gun Officer Wilson used to shoot brown.  I suspect it was a 9mm.  Had Officer Wilson had been armed with a .45 Brown might be alive today.  Four shot apparently hit Brown before the fatal shot was fired.  Had Brown been hit in the arm and shoulder with a .45, I don’t think he be on his feet to continue what some witnesses claim was his attack on Officer Wilson.

.45s fell out of favor because they are heavier lack the magazine capacity and accuracy of many of the more popular 9mm models.  Well accuracy is a function of the guy shooting the weapon not the weapon itself.  As for magazine capacity, if one shot knocks a guy down you won’t need the other 14.

The Empty Suit
Reaction to Foley execution was pathetic.  I’d have bombed their effing azzes off.  Whatever the intensity of that bombing it would pale in comparison to what would follow if they killed the second reporter.  As Mark Levin once colorfully opined, if they want to live in the stone-age we ought to accommodate them.
 
Releasing info on a failed military operation to save Foley and others earlier this summer is pure politics.  It served no purpose other than prop up The Empty Suit.
