"No peace - no justice.."

It used to be "no justice - no peace".

But that is how the Governor of Missouri framed it in his news conference yesterday. Justice will follow peace.

It would be a big step forward if law enforcement knew that they could not get away with murder. That they would be held accountable for their actions. After all, the only reason for them to shoot someone is in self-defense - not just because they can.

I remember not long ago people on THIS forum calling for drone strikes on citizens. What changed?

The hypocracy from our party has driven me to be independent lately. I expect it from teabillies but our side is doing the same crap now. I haven't spoken up i just vote but like me most of the silent majority is seeing the bs from our party as well. Ferguson is the start of the revolution for the REAL patriots of this country. The REAL patriots aren't the mindless idiots that follow their party no matter what think for yourself. I support everyone that exercises their rights from the 1st amendment on. Yes the 2nd as well true democrats don't pick and choose for the rest of you you ate a disgrace to the party and as American citizen. If you want to change America for the better you will distance yourself from extremist. The regular citizens are waking up to the bs.

That would be a great starting point. Please try it, and get back to us. Because whatever you've been doing for the past 40 years, which appears to have led to your contributions to this discussion, may not have been working for you. Other than "I'm angry," for example, what do you think that a person should take away from this last post? (Which is disconnected, not surprisingly, from your incorrect claim that DUers are advocating domestic drone strikes.)

I don't really see how anyone can deny that post, disgusting as it is. People need to understand that if the government is willing to use a drone on one group it doesn't like, then it is willing to use it on anybody under the right circumstances. I personally think that the Bundy militia clowns were idiots being used by a rich asshole that laughed at them, but if the government had been willing to gas them with drones, you can bet the protesters in Ferguson would be getting that exact same treatment.

I think they are ass clowns as well but I've seen so much hypocrisy between that and Ferguson. Those idiots do have rights too and calling for drone strikes does no one any good. Thanks

This is one of hundreds Google or bing it. Folks have posted very rude comments to me on pointing this out in other posts. We have many Hypocrits on this forum. I will continue to point them out they do nothing but hurt the underground.
