I dont like the punk gangsta type animals getting away with robbery, arson, property destruction and holding hostage a community and nation to create a victim mentality.You dont wanna get shot by a cop, obey the law.Dont run around with your pants around your knees to look for employment.Quit blaming todays society for ancestral mistakes.Raise your children to respect themselves and others, and to know God. And remember that government assistance is ok if you need it temporarily , but it is not a lifestyle, I dont owe you chit ! Get an education, trade, or a shovel. Get a damned job, Ive had one since I was 13.Amen Brother Doug!!!!!!! I agree 100%.I Agree with Doug and Scubaman! Pharrell Williams (Black) said he wanted to know why there wasnt more discussion about Michael Browns Bullyish behavior. Another anonymous Black man said I dont understand why people dont understand Michael Brown was a Thug that just robbed a store, my thoughts exactly! How many young Black men, White men, Hispanic men, etc, females also are shot every week in the US? Who is shooting most of them? Cops?? Gang members, and Thugs?? Why doesnt someone protest about that violence! Does No one care? I have family in Law Enforcement and they have a dangerous job even in a redneck county/town like I live in. I would challenge any one to try to do their job in an area like St Louis, Chicago or similar areas. I am not saying all police officers are blameless but most on honest and hard working and do the community they work in a great service in trying to keep the peace.Dan
