I fixed that for ya........

Is this the same mom that was recently arrested for stealing or something like that?

and all this attention paid to them just fuels the media and gives them more reason to agitate the situation

Wow. I was moved. I put that right up there with the Gettysburg Address, I Have a Dream, and FDR's "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

For the sake of transparency, the staff did not erase the comment. The former member edited his post, but not before it and others were quoted at posts #1771, #1774 and #1777.

Just out of curiosity, if other blatantly racist post pop up, should we not quote them and just report?

If you do quote, you can edit their words enough to get the point across, if it isn't horrible.

I usually don't repost the offending post intact. I usually just report the post with the triangle at the bottom of the post. I give a brief description in the report.

my neighbor just posted this article on facebook.. Officer Darren Wilson's story is unbelievable. Literally. - Vox .. basically a liberal website cherry picking his testimony for propaganda. This same neighbor is very anti-gun so his views on this don't surprise me.

I am still of the opinion that rioting would have still taken place even if they had made the decision to indict. I think this opinion is re-enforced by the facts that the vast majority of arrests made last night were people from out of town and that businesses that had publicly supported Brown and even had signage to show it were still looted. Without the people just looking for an opportunity to break the law and get away with it, this would have been little more than a minor and mostly peaceful disturbance. Its a sad commentary on the state of our society.

Don't bring me into this! I do not identify with whatever society these people belong to.

Make sure you differentiate between the racist connotations and a actual racist post.

200 peaceful protesters (wearing masks, peacefully protesting) at the Shop-n-Save, shots fired, employees trapped inside.

Am I the only one who has trouble fighting back legitimate anger while watch the mother carry on? I understand you're grieving, but she needs to grow up and realize that so many people are looking to her for a reaction and basing their reactions from hers. She acts like an immature teenager throwing a tantrum when she doesn't get her way. I don't expect her to understand why the decision was made the way it was. That doesn't excuse her from conducting herself like a civilized human being.

Nope, your not. It just makes me sick!

Indeed. And when she really got going, that's when the shouts of "burn it down" began to be heard in that video. Arguably it seems like maybe she could be charged with inciting a riot, since her behavior seemed to fire up the crowd (not that they needed much to get fired up).

She belongs to a sub-culture (all races included) that feels like if they don't like it than it must be wrong, everyone is out to get them, no sense of personal responsibility.
