Looting in Missouri after cops shoot 18 year old (2 Viewers)

CNN 'chasing someone who is a member of the KKK.'

mob is half media

 

[timschochet]

Never seen anything like this in my life. Riots just don't start like this. When the police who beat up Rodney King were acquitted, we were like, "Uh oh, there might be some trouble", but nobody anticipated what happened beforehand. Those riots began in South Central on Florence and Normandy (the corner where Reginald Denny was dragged out of his truck) and the TV cameras didn't get there until it was full blown. Having the TV cameras and the crowds beforehand is surreal, like The Bonfire of the Vanities come to life.

Also this whole thing is over a grand jury indictment- not even a trial! Whoever heard of such a thing?

Sure looked like it. Bunch of people with cameras filming a bunch of other people with cameras.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

It is almost like the media wants a riot.

 

[HellToupee]

It is almost like the media wants a riot.

Do you think? No riots will be very dull TV

 

[timschochet]

Why is this announcement coming out so late in the evening? This makes no sense at all. It's almost as if the powers at be want a violent result. Maybe there's a good reason I can't think of, but it seems incompetent.

Oh they want a riot. If there isn't one, they are left standing around filming a bunch of people standing around.

There is no good time. If they could relocate Ferguson to Buffalo now would be a great time, though.

I was on the floor reading that...I have to admit it.

If there is to be no indictment and you're anticipating a riot, then it seems clear that it's better to do this in the daytime. More people are at work, plus the daylight might discourage the real thugs.

It was likely to give people time to get home and off the streets after work.

My first thought was that so small business could close up.

I'm sure there have been many meetings discussing this. We'll see if they chose wisely.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

The worst part is listening to these talking heads just babble on about anything and nothing. I want the reporters to get down on the ground and interview the people in pregame riot warmup.

I don't think so. You would end up trapping people from their homes.

It is indicitive of just how out of control our 24/7 365 news media and social media cycle has become.

It's just out of control and our society is crumbling before our very eyes. Dear god I liked the 80's so much better.

I want my MTV back.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

I will say this about the rioters. I have never been moved by anything enough to want to riot. These people keep coming back day after day and for weeks. Amazing.

But fire's burning at night look a lot better on TV. And more people are at home watching the stupid box for ratings!

What are they going to do if there is an indictment?

So there has been riots going on for weeks?

Riot in celebration.

Those are the protestors you're talking about. They are not rioters.

CNN saying no indictment. [SIZE=14.4444446563721px]Has not been asked to turn himself in. [/SIZE]Weight off Wilson's shoulders. At an undosclosed location.

 

[timschochet]

CNN has sources close to Wilson saying there will be no indictment, because if there was, he would have already been asked to surrender.

 

[Sinn Fein]

So, if no indictment, how long before the feds file civil rights violation charges?

 

[timschochet]

Makes sense to me. If there was going to be an indictment, seems like it would have been announced much sooner, no?

 

[Sinn Fein]

Maybe there is an indictment, and they want the mob to bring Wilson in?

 

[timschochet]

That's an interesting question. I don't think they will. They have to prove not only that Wilson committed murder, but that he did so because Brown was black. That's an awfully high hurdle.

 

[jonessed]

So, if no indictment, how long before the feds file civil rights violation charges?

What would they base it on?

 

[Sinn Fein]

So, if no indictment, how long before the feds file civil rights violation charges?

violating Brown's civil rights, I imagine.

The cop is white....the victim is black. duh.

Yeah, the rioters might be at work. That's a good one, Tim.

 

[jon_mx]

Is anyone streaming the riot?

 

[timschochet]

No indictment, peaceful protest, everybody goes home. Lots of angry rhetoric on TV, but nobody gets hurt.

Didn't they do that in the Rodney King incident?

They did, and it troubled a lot of people at the time (including me). But in this case there's no video. That's a key difference.

I have yet to hear or see anything that would indicate Walker was a racist and killed Brown because he was black.

The Feds don't like to lose cases. They aren't going to pick something this visible up to appease protestors.
