Jesus Of Suburbia Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Decided to check on the #Ferguson on twitter and all over the country there are escalating situations between protesters and law enforcement. I hope this can wake up our country and find a way to fix this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Of Suburbia Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I read that in Seattle they were having a peaceful protest until a group decided to burn an American flag and throw stuff at officers...

Emo Revival Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 So peaceful protests are the only way to bring about change? The American Revolution was peaceful? The French Revolution was peaceful? History has shown again and again that change is brought about through violent revolution. Shit this country was founded by that. I'm not saying burning a store is the right answer. But saying they should be happy with a peaceful protest is not how significant change happens. The system is broken, burn it down and start again. kamalatapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Some good points above about having to see the full spectrum of evidence before commenting on whether a jury did/didn't make the right call. Wonder if some people here have never been on a jury. It's SO hard to feel like you are holding someone's life in your hands and it's not like a test at school where you find out the correct answer when you finish. Pretty easy to say someone got it wrong when your mind was made up before the trial started. stl_ben and batman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Correction - A police officer was shot in the area last night but it was not in relation to the protest/rioting. Sorry, I posted that before getting all the facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty easy to say someone got it wrong when your mind was made up before the trial started. the problem is that this WASNT a trial. all they were doing was determining whether they may have been evidence that this should go to trial. he wasn't acquited like i see a lot of people saying; what they said was that 'sure, this kid died, but we don't think his family should have their day in a court of law, whatever that outcome may be.' smailtronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+hecollec+or Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Who gives a fuck about semantics. You're going to group them all together because a few people did something stupid?

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 A lot of the evidence has been released if anyone is interested: http://apps.stlpublicradio.org/ferguson-project/evidence.html I don't have much to add to the discussion other than this whole thing sucks. I think the community probably has plenty of reasons to be frustrated, beyond this particular incident, and what we are seeing now is shitty. I hope they can find their way back to more constructive, meaningful forms of protest soon and god willing, make some positive changes. lonesomexloveus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
