For people who have watched this “new-normal” process play out before the footprints of retreat are obvious. For others this might be their first experience.

From the outset of the Mike Brown shooting there has existed a familiar pattern, an inauthentic pattern. Eventually the nature of constructed falsehoods reach a point where: a.) the usefulness expires, and, b,) the empirical facts belay the claims.

The concentric circles of hatred flow out as a natural outcome of dropping a divisive rock into a pool of ideology.  The ripple effects flow out, often with unintended consequences and all too often out of control.
The problem with intended division is that it’s sometimes difficult to contain. Protests can quickly become riots, looting, long-term anger, flag burning and worse.
Author Jack Cashill aptly used a phrase “transparently innocent” to describe a new Obama era useful victim.
Historically, useful victims have always been transparently guilty people who the left could defend.   However, in the modern Obama era – a useful victim is innocent of the accusations, transparently so, but must be made to look guilty for the left to advance a goal of division. (more…)

The #Ferguson protesters are embarrassingly pathetic – yet they appear not to even notice they have devolved into a parody unto themselves.

Saint Louis – Rams fans and Ferguson protesters fought Sunday afternoon outside the Edward Jones Dome after the Rams secured a victory over the visiting Seattle Seahawks, the defending Super Bowl Champions.
At around 3 p.m. a handful of fans argued with protesters, who were yelling and chanting, near the intersection of North Broadway and Cole streets.

The yelling escalated, a fan appeared to spit on one of the protesters and he was then struck on the head, at which point a melee ensued and punches were thrown. (more…)

Here we go….. this also explains the Kevin Seltzer article release. 
Step-by-Step.  Strategic, planned, methodical, retreat.
Representatives from the Federal DOJ Civil Rights Division, The Community Relations Service (CRS), “Peacekeepers”, are beginning the process of slowly deflating the vitriol. To avoid riots and try to stem violent expectations from not gaining Grand Jury indictment, the CRS is leaking (strategic dissemination) information to the New York Times.
WASHINGTON — The police officer who fatally shot Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., two months ago has told investigators that he was pinned in his vehicle and in fear for his life as he struggled over his gun with Mr. Brown, according to government officials briefed on the federal civil rights investigation into the matter.
The officer, Darren Wilson, has told the authorities that during the scuffle, Mr. Brown reached for the gun. It was fired twice in the car, according to forensics tests performed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The first bullet struck Mr. Brown in the arm; the second bullet missed.
The forensics tests showed Mr. Brown’s blood on the gun, as well as on the interior door panel and on Officer Wilson’s uniform. Officer Wilson told the authorities that Mr. Brown had punched and scratched him repeatedly, leaving swelling on his face and cuts on his neck.
This is the first public account of Officer Wilson’s testimony to investigators, but it does not explain why, after he emerged from his vehicle, he fired at Mr. Brown multiple times.

There are those who would say it is controversial to attach the JFMB motive to random groups of black men hunting white victims in/around college campuses.   However, those who would intentionally choose to be disingenuous in that regard are ignoring the historical similarity between the JFTM movement (2012/13) and an almost identical series of black mob attacks.

The racial fomentation from the political left and the progressively obtuse leftist media has been intense since 2009.  Both groups, emboldened by ideology, have been stoking the racial division for the past six years – while simultaneously deconstructing the criminal justice enforcement system.   These attacks are simply the consequences….
….. Violent young black men feel empowered, emboldened and even celebrated. 
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WLS) — The ABC7 I-Team is reporting a rash of random attacks near the University of Illinois flagship campus. A safety alert for students was posted after Champaign police say five [white] students were jumped and beaten by a roving gang over the weekend. (more…)

We pointed this out yesterday after we noticed Paul Begala begin the talking point. But we ran out of time to write about it.  Thankfully Eric Erickson expands on the nonsensical narrative…

@PaulBegala Dear Paul, how much did President Obama request for the NIH in his 2015 fiscal year budget proposal? Thought so, take a seat.

— TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) October 13, 2014

[…] To this end, the Administration’s FY 2015 budget request for the NIH is $30.362 billion, $211 million, or 0.7 percent, above the FY 2014 level.  [NIH Testimony to appropriations] 

Erickson uses the CDC 2014 budget appropriations to drive home the same point.
Erickson […]  The latest Democratic attack is pretty straightforward in its insanity. Because the GOP won’t let the Democrats spend more money, people are getting Ebola. The Democrats would have you believe that the very same government that could not build an Obamacare website with hundreds of millions of dollars could somehow cure Ebola yesterday with more money.
There is just one problem: facts. (more…)

The primary problem for the Ferguson thugs is evidenced within the guidance provided by the professional grievance class – a problem of authenticity.

Cutting right to the heart of the matter, and despite the earnest efforts of the professional left, their protests cannot gain traction.

You can see it in the assistance and guidance provided by the DOJ Community Relations Service under the auspices of The Dream Defenders.
You can also see the problem within the assistance of the united professional left who tried to coordinate Ferguson October.
At the heart of the issue is the inauthentic grievance….
A troubled thug, Mike Brown, represents the modern issue within the black grievance industry.  No matter how they try to frame the narrative, the basic foundation is a thug, doing thug-type behavior, was justifiably shot by law enforcement. No amount of leftist spin can assist the narrative when the foundational flaw is brutally obvious.
We can see the perpetually aggrieved trying desperately to find authenticity, but nothing is sticking.

In what will probably be known as the worst PR move since the insufferable Ferguson protests began – last night the mob descended upon another Saint Louis neighborhood to reflect their contempt for the U.S.A.  (Picture library here)

A vigil for Vonderitt Myers Jr., turned into a night of protest and marching on Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014. Protesters broke a window at the Medicine Shoppe burned several American flags after taking one from the Beauvais Manor nursing home and threw at least one brick through the window of a home along Flora Avenue.

It Appears “Occupy Saint Louis” Begins Tonight – Discuss

As with prior “Occupy” activities the DOJ/CRS has “agents” embedded within the agitators to record, document, photograph and identify the provocateurs to federal authorities  –   […] Grande H. Lum, the director of the Justice Department’s Community Relations Service, which has had from 2-8 conflict resolution mediators working behind the scenes in Ferguson since Aug. 10, would not speculate if the new shooting meant his people would remain in the St. Louis area longer than anticipated.
“We are well aware of that (shooting),” he said in an interview. “We have staff on the ground that are assessing the situation.”
Citing secrecy laws embedded in the 1964 Civil Rights act that created his office, Lum would not say if his office sent more mediators to the city after the new shooting. He said CRS mediators would remain in the St. Louis area “as long as it is needed.” (link)


UPDATE: The attorney for a police officer involved in a fatal shooting Wednesday night told the Post-Dispatch that his client is lucky to be alive because he hesitated too long before firing at an 18-year-old who pointed a gun at him. (more…)
