Didn't want to start another Fergbola thread, but what the hell...
So is there a take home message from Ferguson ? For me, it's don't fuck with cops. I learned that at an early age seeing my loudmouthed/intoxicated friends confront Philly P.D. when we go to the city for concerts. |
|
Maybe that...and/or, if you're going to assault one, be clear that you're not trying to disarm them.
|
|
Don't rob stores
Don't get into fights, especially with people with guns Don't attempt to charge said people after being shot |
|
For me, it is that there is a soft bigotry of low expectations for blacks by liberals and progressives.

So...if somebody is beating my ass with their fists through an open car window, can I shoot because I feel my life is in danger? If somebody breaks into my house and has no weapon in hand, am I allowed to shoot to save my family? Or, as a civilian, will I be prosecuted? Not trying to stir up shit...no "colors" involved, just want to know when it is ok as a civilian to protect my self and my family.

We need that Castle doctrine law in Iowa...no retreat, no surrender.

View Quote Had one in my county get away with it and was nearly that exact scenario. Edit to say was the guy beating you through your car window. As far as in your home, depends, do you have castle doctrine or do you have a duty to retreat in your state? We have castle doctrine here. Considering my circumstances that would be a quick no bill here. Fully marked patrol car in the driveway and total of 6 women in this household. If someone is trying to come in here they have ill intent. |

Duty to retreat and crawl up into the fetal position here...unfortunately. I can't say what I would do in that scenario...but I know what I would do.

Pray you don't have to defend yourself from a black attacker, you will be crucified in the press and your life is basically over.
|
|
... one message being, whites will be more inclined to discourage blacks moving into their neighborhoods due to them solidifying the notion of their stereotypical ghetto behavior
|

One of the perks about living in a small community. Like minded individuals where every neighbor knows each other and watch out for one another. Oh...and not many people live here.

Don't expect the cops to keep the Barbarian Horde from torching your business. Even if they say they will, they may not.
The best person to protect your business is you. |

What do I take away?
The schlock media has not changed or evolved. |

Trying to disarm any determined individual in the same situation would probably achieve the same end result as well. Just curious how a court would rule given the same circumstances between a civilian or leo.

Unarmed teenager sounds much different than 6-4 300 lb hulk.

The race/culture divide in America is a wide chasm, and there is no common ground between the sides. Neither side is willing to budge. There is no dialogue when there is no mutual agreement. It will not end, not in our lifetimes.

In before the GD anti-cop mob. View Quote I am not anti-cop. A lot of cops are good people that work hard in a job that really exposes them to the shittiest part of our society. There are of course bad apples. I am for a cop doing their job with restraint and if they need use force it be within the execution of their duties & within the constitution. I am against JBTs and using a sledge drive a pin. The swat team does not need no-knock warrants for code violations. Like many other aspects of what is wrong with this country, a heavy dose of common sense could avoid a lot of the drama and save a great deal of lives and money for that matter. But alas, common sense is not so common. Political correctness has no place in objective problem resolution. And both the black and white community as a whole needs to get off their collective asses and work rather than play the race/victim card. I am going back to the basement to read my bible, clean my guns, and kiss my kids as they are going to inherit this shit storm. |

I learned that the words "Charging" and "Demon" were racist.
Thats my take away, LEARNING!

If you look white you had better let black males under 18 do anything they want to your person or your processions. It's racist to protect yourself because of slavery.
|
|
If a member of the protected class commits a crime against your person and/or property, let them continue since they're harmless and you're privileged. Anything less would be racist.

The message? The Popo can't / won't protect you in a crisis. View Quote Ummm...kinda got that message back during the LA Riots. That and if you have a business don't have it in da hood and be ready to protect it yourself. Probably the most specific message from the Fergistan riots is snatch up every out-of-town motherfucker you can get your mitts on and "encourage" them to be elsewhere. Anyone see the movie "LA Confidential" where the cops talk to East Coast mobsters? |
|
If a member of any "class" would come at me in a threatening manner, I would act accordingly. Question is, how would I be judged as a civilian in a court of law given the same circumstances?

Move your family to a safe area with plenty of buffer from bad areas.

Criminals will be eulogized into saints and become movement causes for a certain identity group.

We all make choices in life. Some will be good and some will be bad. However, if you consistently make more bad choices than good ones, you will likely live a short and miserable life. Hopefully you will be removed from it before you fuck up too many other people in the process.
Did Mike Brown "deserve" to die? No but he is dead and HIS CHOICES in life are what brought him to that moment on that day putting a violent end to his miserable life. ANYTIME, ANYBODY is killed by law enforcement their NEEDS to be a complete, thorough and transparent investigation by an objective third party. If it was a bad shoot then individual people need to be held personally responsible. Every critical examination of this case (even by those hostile to the defense) has concluded that Officer Wilson probably shot Mr. Brown in self-defense. What the "Black Community" wants is a lynching. They don't need any "facts" because they are demanding "social justice". |

The words "You're too much of a pussy to shoot me" should never pass your lips.
EVER. |

- Empty 40 ouncers
- Full 5 gallon can of gas - Lighters / matches Profit?? ETA: You are responsible for your own protection. |

I learned there really was a reason for the name Turd Ferguson.
|

I learned that apparently if a criminal is shot by police, people of the same race will want to "burn this bitch down" as stated by Michael Brown's step-father ruining the community they live in.

If the time ever comes when I might have to defend myself or my family, I hope the assailant is not a black teenager.
