A slightly fouled barrel is more accurate.
I do not want federal or state funds to go in and repair that town.
According to their wiki page, 12% turned out to vote for latest mayor.
If you do not vote, how do you expect to he heard ?

Different mindset of folks . They expect to be heard by riots and mayhem :sing:

At the recent elections, a TV reporter asked someone why black people in Ferguson weren't showing up at the poles. The reply was "Eryone knows that won't do no good, won't change nothin, so why vote'". This from a 20-something resident of that city.

When he gave that media announcement last week warning people of the use power to stop rioting, he pretty much divulged that the grand jury investigation probably wasn't going the way those barbarians were wanting.

Truly sad part is, even if there is no indictment I heard that Holder was going to convene a Federal grand jury. The travesty will be sacrificing a young cop just to ease tensions ?? How long will we transfer wealth because not everyone wants to row ?

Seems like I've heard this song before.

I've seen the fans of a winning sports team destroy a city... So why do you think just because they declare a state of emergency over the findings means that it will be bad?

Some times celebrations get out of hand too...

Ya gotta look at both sides of the coin before you decide... All we can do in this case is wait and see...
