Too soon to start selling "I looted Ferguson and all I got was this crappy T shirt" T shirts?
And I got another question. They looted an Autozone, Advance Auto, and Oreileys. Even when I go in there with all the correct info and the guy looks it up on the computer, it's wrong half the time. What the hell do you steal, random parts that go to who knows what?????
Oh yeah, for those that missed this:

So sad there's capitalistic hate peddlers that prey on the the poor. IMO!

Nice dissertation Jen, but you are going to have to do an Ebonics translation to get your point across to the people who could benefit by it.
This whole Michel Brown and the fall of St. Louis crap really pisses me off. St. Louis is not "declining" anymore than any other big city in the USA. Although now retired, my job with McDonnell Douglas / Boeing offered me the opportunity to travel throughout the country and witness the pros and cons of many cities and their communities. St. Louis is heads above many of them. Hell just recently my son and I took a weekend trip to Jacksonville to take in the Florida / Missouri Football game. Stayed in a nice hotel on the south side closer to Gainesville. A city in Florida we thought was on the rise providing exciting opportunities for recreation, careers, fun living etc. Don't get me wrong, I am sure it has many of those characteristics. We also decided to attend the Jaguar/Browns game. Talk about the hood, North Jacksonville is daunting. One of the highest crime areas per capita in the US. Sorry Gene, but my point is not to single out any one city but to use it as an example in addition to St.Louis that illustrates all the major US cities.
To answer the articles author's question, if Michel Brown were to have grown up in Bowling Green, he would still have been a Punk Bully who thought he could take advantage of society. His parental upbringing, or lack thereof, would have insured that.
Thanks. I'm afraid you're absolutely correct though. Case in point. Yesterday while coming out of Walmart (I know, I know. I don't know why I do this to myself) I overheard a "woman of color" on her phone. I quote, "how close you is to my house?"Nice dissertation Jen, but you are going to have to do an Ebonics translation to get your point across to the people who could benefit by it.

Thanks for that. But if you make it to Vegas, it's my treat. Those are the rules.Jen, the person who questioned your conservatism is a Pinhead. Well Said, anytime your in Florida i will buy you a cup of coffee. And if i make it to Vegas again i will do the same.
I quote, "how close you iiiis to my house?"

One of these days I'll figure out how people who know so much about cars can be so clueless about everything else in the universe.
