Rioting. Slander. The wanton personal destruction of people known by their accusers to be innocent. In his latest Firewall, Bill Whittle shows how events like the rioting in Ferguson do not occur in a vacuum, and how Progressives not only tolerate this lawlessness, this New Barbarism -- they teach it.

Thoughts?
 
Hate law enforcement and love the rioting and looting activists is the standard operating procedure for there means of increasing personal power.

only in your fairy-tale world you're living in...

people protest for a reason...

when governments are corrupted and the people had enough of the oppression then the people stand up and riot against the government that is supposed to be for the people, not for the wealthy and powerful...

a lot of countries around the world have people protesting and rioting against their government because it's the government that's doing wrong, not the people...

No thats in the real world as the video clearly explains how the dear leaders minions acted.

Yes in this case they protested to riot, burn, loot, hurt people, kill people and not listen to any of the evidence but instead there personal prejudices.

when governments are corrupted and the people had enough of the oppression then the people stand up and riot against the government that is supposed to be for the people, not for the wealthy and powerful...

Government is way to big. We do have forms of oppression in America that need to be swiftly dealt with but in this case that was not the case.

a lot of countries around the world have people protesting and rioting against their government because it's the government that's doing wrong, not the people...

Yes they do.

I agree with the video's starting point: everyone, including the police officer involved in this case, has the right to a fair trial. To me, that is non-negotiable. It enrages me when people read a single article on a criminal case, decide based on the very limited information in that article that one side is "definitely guilty" or "definitely innocent", and then whinge and cry (or, worse, loot and riot) when they don't get the verdict they want.

Yes, the courts system isn't perfect. Yes, corruption does exist within it. However, it's one hell of a lot better than "trial by popular opinion" or "trial by mob rule". Courts exist in order to attempt to establish the truth - and the truth is not a democracy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions; nobody is entitled to their own facts.

But, beyond that....once we get past the rhetoric, I don't see much else of substance in the video to respond to.

Can agree with most of that. But the video is not rhetoric it is based on the facts of the time line of what happened.
 
the fact that the police started firing and hurting the peaceful protesters first, including some media personnel?

i'm sure you'll deny that fact but indeed it's a fact...

the courtroom was stacked against the black kid, the prosecutor didn't want to see the cop go to trail so the prosecutor did everything in his power to make that happen, including withholding evidence and witnesses from the jury...

facts, sorry it goes against you... ;)

I will deny what you say is not correct. Because it is not correct.
