Open letter to Rams football team

Dear Rams football team,

When you play your next game, please run out onto the field holding placards in your hands. On the placard should be the illustration of a bloody hammer, and over this illustration, perhaps the circle with a slash mark through it, signifitying that you don't approve of gangs of teenagers going around beating innocent people to death with hammers.

Here's the article you should read, Rams football team:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/02/protests-sparse-after-pack-hammer-wielding-teens-beats-man-to-death-in-shadow/

If you read that article, you will know that the victim was white, and since the ethnicity of the gang of teens who beat him to death with a hammer is not given, you will undoubtedly be able to figure out that the teens were black.

Or if you want to make sure, you could do a Google search on "teens beat Bosnian man to death with a hammer" and Breitbart will point out to you that the teens were black...

I wonder, Rams football team...do you read the newspapers?  Do you ever wonder why, on those rare occasions when a white person kills someone who is black, ethnicity is always given and it's always thought of as a hate crime... but whenever a white person is killed by someone who is not white, ethnicity is never given, and of course it can't possibly be a hate crime.

Commenters - can you prove me wrong? Please share newspaper article links from mainstream newspapers that give ethnicity of perpetrators of minority-on-white crime.

Buddy, can youspare a dollar to earn your angel's wings?

Crowdfunding is the new way for small and mid-size entrepreneurs to fund their ideas. Instead of going to a bank and having to go through the whole application process, they go to a crowdfunding site such as Kickstarter, IndieGoGo and GoFundMe, put up their ideas, and receive pledges.

It's more than just business ideas, of course. GoFundMe for example also does charity work - to help people pay medical bills, for example.

http://crowdfundermagazine.blogspot.com/ is a new blog that showcases a variety of campaigns on the crowdfunding sites.

The idea is to "connect micro-investors to entrepreneurs."

My idea is to develop a core (and even a corps) of of a thousand or so micro-investors who can afford to pledge $10 a month to help back these entrepreneurs.  They'll choose ten campaigns each month that appeal to them, and pledge $1 (or more of course.)

If we can put together  a core group of a thousand people (and continue to build on that) all these worthy campaigns can get money towards their goal, and our core of microinvestors will earn plent of angel's wings.

There's a website for this: dragonwinggroup.com/FAEO, which publishes a video crowdfunding magazine that showcases three campaigns in the same niche, per week.

The first issue has been published at YouTube and features two graphic novels and a comic convention in Detroit.

So if you'd like to become a micro-investor and help out, check out the crowdfunding websites on your own, or subscribe to the blog, or bookmark the website, and let's start helping people, $1 at a time.

Why publish the cop's home address?

I was channel surfing a few hours ago, and stopped on the Hannity Show just long enough for Hannity to say that the New York Times had published the home address of Officer Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown after Brown had attacked him.

Why?

What do they expect people to do with that information?

Don't they realize that their are hundreds of 100-IQ individuals in Ferguson who will go to this guy's house and burn it down?

Is that what they want to happen?

It is extremely said that all of the media seems to be on the side of Michael Brown, and says that the "fix was in" despite the fact that it was a jury of people - including 3 blacks - who voted not to indict Wilson?

And where is the justice in these psychos n destroying the businesses, many of them belonging to African Americans, and destroying property that belongs to people, including African Americans?

Does no one see the irony in the fact that none of these looters has been shot yet? Despite the fact that each and every one deserves it?

There's something so wrong in this picture...it's like we're living in the Twilight Zone where evil is praised and good is damned.

As I said a couple of days ago, I hope the people who have had their businesses destroyed by these rioters never rebuild. Let the folks in these neighborhoods sit at home, wishing they could order pizza...but oh, no they can't the Little Ceasar's has been burned down.

And they can't go shopping,  because they've burned down their neighborhood stores...

Idiots, one and all, and the media that aren't condemning their actions are culpable as well.

What did the riotinng in Ferguson accomplish?

Many people without jobs today, who used to work at the businesses that were burned down.

Many businesses no longer in business - so folks who used to use those businesses are just out of luck.
..

I had a whole long post to write but I'm just not in the mood.

There should be a lot of dead looters today. Instead there's people laughing in their homes drinking the alcohol they stole and watching the TVs they stole, and crowing about how them being thieves has somehow brought justice to Michael Brown...

Frankly, I do blame Obama and Holder for this...talk about enflaming instead of calming. 

I hope every torched business does not re-open

It was announced early this morning that the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri had reached a decision whether or not to indict the police officer accused of shooting unarmed big-as-a-truck teenager Michael Brown and killing him.

Instead of announcing it at around 10 am when they made their decision, they waited until about 7 pm tonight or so, giving certain individuals in Ferguson plenty of time to gather and plan their looting opportunities.

When it was announced that the police officer wouldn't be indicted, the taunting of the police officers began. The police were instructed to keep a low profile, leaving plenty of businesses defenseless and letting looters go in and take whatever they wanted, plus set fire to the buildings.

In a city with a large police presence, the fact that there was so much destruction of Ferguson is inexcusable. All the looters - regardless of race (for I have no doubt a few whites decided to get in on the act and make off with liquor and TVs too) should have been shot on sight.

Shoot a few of 'em, and the looting would have stopped.

As it is, several businesses have been destroyed, and it is my fervent hope and wish that the owners of these businesses take their insurance money and move somewhere else to re-open and start afresh.

I sincerely hope that the burned-out buildings be boarded up and allowed to sit there forever. When the citizens of Ferguson wonder why they have no place to go buy clothing or food, they can remember 24 November, the day they let mob rule take over the city.

The "protests" weren't only in Ferguson, of course. Apparently 1,000 people marched in Manhattan, too, chanting, no justice, no peace.

Of course, they are referring to their brand of justice, where one black man killed by a cop in a decade is an atrocity, and racism, but 40 black people shot and 3-4 killed every month in Chicago doesn't deserve a mention. One really wonders where the outrage is on that score.

These next 2 years are going to be... interesting

I see President Obama still remains bound and determined to cripple the US - we have plenty of "emissions" controls in place, unlike the Chinese...in 10 years are we going to be running around in put-put buggies that won't run during winter time (I speak of electric cars), everyone stuck in their own town because they can't afford to travel anywhere else?

Scary thought - the tourism industry will die - jobs will die... I don't want that to happen.
