Can we give some serious props to Jurors 2 and 3???

And I want to give some MAJOR props to the brave and courageous jurors who voted to hide her post -- NOT ONE commenting why they did so?

I'm not even saying that I agree with the "fuck you America" bit but I find it BEYOND fascinating that a massive OP saying "Fuck you" to the president before also calling him a "piece of shit used car salesman" was not only not hidden, but it was lauded! Maybe even by some of sheshe's very same jurors!

Can someone buy a clue for DU?

I should curb my language, my mom never liked it, though at my age now she just laughs.

Guess it shows what is important Number23. The results are in~

Support for Racism in America is polling at an all time low here! ZIP ZILCH ZERO!

Disrespect for this President is at an all time high. K~ won't swear here though I want to.

Results...The President is a poopyhead. Ya and he was surely called a POS. That post was later deleted by it's author.

Interesting.

What time of the day was the OP posted? I wonder if there are more trolls and fewer legit DU'ers at some times than others, and if bad hides like this can be at least somewhat avoided by timing posts well.

Just looked and saw it was about 10:30. So I think two things. 1. Night time does seem more risky, but 2. even if you post it during the day, someone can alert at night, so maybe it doesn't make any difference.

23. Time factor: you can tell who's likely to alert/be on the Jury by their threads.

During that time, they curse at Sheshe, but alerts won't get a hide.

If she fights back at the same time, it will be hidden.

I love bravenak's sig line:

I am too, but my sig line is a bit busy now.

Ferguson: Race and Justice in the U.S.

Airing Monday, 12/15 at 9pm ET/6pm PT

This Monday, December 15th at 9pm ET/6p PT, Al Jazeera’s Emmy Award-winning “Fault Lines” presents a special one-hour report, “Ferguson: Race and Justice in the U.S.”

snip

In this hour-long special, “Fault Lines” presents a bird’s eye view of the days just after the shooting – when small crowds of peaceful demonstrators encountered heavily armed police in armored vehicles – and the evening of August 13th, which quickly spiraled into violence and a display of tear-gas, rubber bullets and military-style vehicles by law enforcement. We go inside the responses by Missouri law enforcement and the reaction by the Brown family and protestors, and learn why the protests in Ferguson grew increasingly larger and drew worldwide attention.

Al Jazeera’s Sebastian Walker tours the streets where the fatal encounter between Officer Darren Wilson and Michael Brown took place – a predominantly African American neighborhood that many say is typical of the way neighborhoods in the St Louis area are divided along racial and economic lines. Walker explores issues in the area through the eyes of local residents, including the impact of the nearly 50% unemployment rate for black males aged 16-24 in St. Louis County, and how some local communities garner nearly 30% of their revenue from fines that target mainly low-income residents.

“I would call a daily, low-level harassment by the government,” says Thomas Harvey, a local St. Louis lawyer and executive director of ArchCity Defenders. “Psychologically, I think it’s a devastating effect.”

“Fault Lines” also explores other police shootings in St. Louis, some of which drew little media attention or public scrutiny at the time. In April 2013, St. Louis police tried to pull over 25-year old Cary Ball Jr. for a traffic violation; Ball, who was carrying an illegal weapon, was shot and killed by officers while fleeing the scene. Ball was struck at least 21 times, with family lawyers saying ballistic evidence suggest the police may have kept shooting while they stood over his body.

This!

Ball was struck at least 21 times, with family lawyers saying ballistic evidence suggest the police may have kept shooting while they stood over his body.

If you do not see this as racist Hate, you are not only Deaf and Dumb you are woefully ignorant and blind. Who the hell stands over a body and continues to shoot? Who does that? The soul of America is dying one murdered black man by cop at a time.

Shame on us.

It is time to do something about this, past time.

The 3 is the amount of rec's the Op got. Wonder why I said FU!

Do we have a DUer here named "America" and was she being "personally insulted?" Is that what caused Silent Sams Numbers Four, Five, Six and Seven to leap to punch that HIDE button?

And I'd like to associate myself with your other comments, as well!

This place....!!!

I won't say what I feel beyond it was a bad hide.

Thank you for posting it in the first place, and I'd repost it if I were you without the potential troll attracting headline. Not that there was anything wrong with your headline, there wasn't. It was falsely exploited from what I saw. People need to see the program, it's enlightening, thought provoking and real in that raw sort of way that makes people pay attention. Hopefully.

It's Been a Long Time Coming, But Permanent Change Is Within Our Grasp

On Saturday, the entire world watched. They watched as tens of thousands marched peacefully in the nation's capital. They watched as both old and young, Black and White, and Americans from all stripes joined the families of Eric Garner, Michael Brown Jr., Tamir Rice, Akai Gurley, John Crawford III, Amadou Diallo and Trayvon Martin. People around the world watched as similar demonstrations were held in New York, Boston and elsewhere to demand reform. It is clear, that despite distortions and distractions, there is a strong determination among many diverse Americans that policing must be dealt with in this country. And it appears the international community agrees. Justice cannot be reserved merely for the privileged; justice for all is what we want and we want it now. Thankfully, we are closer than perhaps ever before.

4 on DU would HIDE it.. but, they didn't say why so we'll never know. Are they the racists who drive Black Americans away from DU? Unreal.

Sorry, your OP on "Race and Justice in America" got hidden.

This is why the 'alerters' names need to be attached.

That's a fuckin' dirt bag infiltrator from Stormfront or Free Republic.

That was NOT a Democratic Party Member, liberal or progressive. It simply was not.

So who precisely is the dirt bag snot OUTSIDER who probably joined DU yesterday JUST to alert?

It's so late and I have to go. Let me know if you watch it.

Sure, it could have been new trolls that hid it, however I have several people here that hate me. Sad that. It wasn't just one it was 4 and no comment given. I was ready to walk last night. This place is no longer a Democratic board.

That would slow a lot of this shit down, and give people a chance to see how the board culture operates.

It's no different than having a learner's permit.

You gotta crawl before you walk, walk before you run, after all.
