Don't know about bombing a funeral,but something should be done to keep these idiots from stirring up more trouble.

We need to fight the war of ideas, not suppress the speech of those we think are.....unhelpful.

War implies both sides are allowed to step onto the battlefield.

Speaking of wars,who wants to bet that the SHTF event that everyone preps for us gonna be race wars,like Civil War II.If Al and Jesse got their way,I think that's what'd happen.

Ferguson narrative is about to go stale. CNN found "unverified" audio of shooting, ran with it before verification.

I really doubt it.

I really doubt it.

Of all the man-made disasters that would trigger the SHTF reactions (defined as loosely as significantly altering one's ability to go about normal daily activities), armed conflict sparked by racial divide is the most likely scenario IMO. It will likely be short-lived, but for the grace of God, there's not much keeping sympathy riots from sprouting up all across the country.

The crowd quietly disperses when it realizes it's all about nothing. When CNN sees that the truth is readily available around the corner, that they've squeezed all they can from what they have, they'll drop this story like a used rubber.

Except that when/if it does happen to spread across the country, it will not be about "nothing" anymore.

Haven't we already determined that there didn't need to be a reason?

You've sparked a thought in my late-night, bourbon-soaked mind.

What can we, as the "INGOtarian-minded", do to fix the problem of idiots controlling public opinion? I feel that modern politics is based on the crimeful media propaganda... and we don't have a way to combat it.

I want to know the solution, because I want to know where to participate, or throw my money, or something. Otherwise, this is a very steep decline, and "Americanism" is going to be gone in 10-15 years.

Whoever controls the story controls public opinion. Right now that's the 3 major networks, and to a less extent, FOX and CNN.

It is news 24/7 from so many different directions. Constant bombardment. Twist/spin/manipulate the facts to fit the current agenda. This is huge money. Hard to change anything when "MURICA" is glued to the tube......................

Is this still even a story. The poor lad is in the ground and the news crews have left the area.

Next story about which stars are getting a divorce and the fashion of the week. Who wore it better.
