Looting and Rioting in St. Louis (Merged)

Professional s h it disturber and tax evader Al Sharpton...coming up soon.

Also pretty sickening to hear that Benjamin Crump will in all likelihood represent Brown's parents in a civil lawsuit against Darren Wilson. Crump was Trayvon Martin's parents lawyer as well

Reports beatings/kidnapping....possibly on a white victim.

Came over to see what the international response will be.
The media is stirring things up. They keep trying to push this narrative of an race war.

Yes of course. Nothing to do with those who are looting and setting cars on fire? Right.

And that's a race war???
Days before the verdict was to be announced the media was reporting that klan would be marching in ferguson, mass rioting, etc
People were hoping and wanting the protests to turn violent and it looks like they got their wish

Brown's family and his supporters blaming everyone but the violent attacker Brown for what happened here....and you blaming "the media" for the violent and nonsensical actions we're witnessing now. Got it.

Yes brown was wrong but he did not deserve to die.
The media is at it fault for stirring up tensions. You seem to be quite emotional over the case + you're in ireland
Hopefully something positive will come out this stricter gun control laws, cops being required to wear body cameras

hardly. But you do realize that facts remain facts even across the Atlantic?

Attacking armed police officers is a stupid thing to do if you don't want to die.

Yes facts are facts but people get quite emotional over them.
What brown did was incredibly stupid but he did not deserve to die

What on earth are you talking about? He attacked an armed police officer. Where does "deserve to die" come into it exactly?
Or I guess you feel Wilson ought to have sat there and allowed the maniac to take his gun and shoot him?

Of course!

I don't really know who was wrong who was right in this but how come this outrage always culminates in looting?

Most ppl don't loot but the media loves to show certain groups of ppl acting like wild animals.
My theory is that it's a way for disenfranchised ppl to collectively voice their anger at a society they feel ignored by. Kind of like a toddler throwing a tantrum to get the attention of their parents

Look here and see who the "people" wanting the race war are:

And I have to tell you, this is St. Louis's race war. We didn't have a race war like other cities throughout the country. This is our race war. And people have to be open, and they have to be honest and they have to earnest, and they have not been earnest for decades. In my own experience, I know people in my own party, in my own government structure who disregard things that we say and how we feel, and we are not going to allow it anymore.
