The local news stations who aired the live-streams of the prior Ferguson City Council meeting did not do so today; perhaps because they were ashamed of the publicity upon the city. In addition the live-stream from the actual city feed itself was conspicuously inoperable. Subsequently the only visibility into the event itself was from people using twitter and recording the events inside the chamber. Here’s a sample:
“If Darren Wilson Get Off Y’all Better Bring Every Army Y’all Got, Cause It’s Going Down”

Numerous residents expressed the same or similar sentiment. Each resident taking turns attacking the City Council for allowing the due process within the Law and Order system.
Then came the face of the Ferguson residents, Anthony Shahid:
BellNews.Com Shares – Martin Baker (above right) is a black Republican candidate that has found himself in the middle of a racist hate storm after the shooting in Ferguson, Missouri because he supported due process for the officer involved while at the same time supporting the family of the young man who was killed.
Unfortunately for those who make a living from pushing hate, like Mr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere, Baker’s reasonable actions are a threat to his income. So how does he react? The same way most people who are losing an intellectual argument do…they use intimidation by threatening and/or encouraging violence.
According to Mr. Mauricelm-Lei Millere’s Facebook page, he tried to intimidate Mr. Baker by encouraging people to, “catch, beat, drag and whip” Mr. Baker for being a reasonable man. Here is a screenshot from his page: (more…)
Strange how we did not see this mass murder spree on the NATIONAL news…. Man beats eighty year old couple to death, then shoots another 88-year-old woman, and kills two more men in their 60’s.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – An elderly couple have both died after being beaten in their Kansas City home during an attack in which three other people were fatally shot.
Kansas City police say Ann and George Taylor, both in their 80s, died Tuesday after spending a week in the hospital on life support.
Prosecutors allege that 34-year-old Brandon Howell attacked the couple in the basement of their home on Sept. 2, then fatally shot three neighbors before fleeing in the Taylors’ SUV.
He’s charged with several felonies, including three counts of first-degree murder for the shooting deaths of 88-year-old Alice Hurst, her son, 63-year-old Darrel Hurst, and 69-year-old Susan Choucroun.
It was Ann Taylor’s desperate 911 call that alerted authorities to the crime spree, reports CBS affiliate KCTV. (more…)
It really is quite amazing to watch how easily the people around Ferguson Missouri are manipulated by local members of the professional grievance community, and peer pressure. Dozens of residents proud to be arrested including some younger people. Yesterday they tried to block the Interstate (I-70) but were stopped by police and law enforcement. Of course the Saint Louis media is giddy with the confrontation(s) helping to sell newspapers and generate viewership. However, a review of the people at the center of the protests and you find they are almost the exact same people from the prior evening’s City Council Meeting fiasco. It appears they have nothing more valuable to do for the community than to travel from venue to venue, agitating.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton (right) listens as Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong speaks to the media outside the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library about the attack of employees and a customer Saturday night by a mob of teenagers at the Poplar Plaza Kroger UPDATE 9/9/14 @4:20pm : Eleven Arrests – MEMPHIS — Eleven teenagers have been arrested and charged in connection with an attack on several people in a grocery store parking lot in Memphis, police said Monday.
The teens, ranging in age from 14 to 19, face charges including aggravated assault and aggravated riot, police said. Police did not release the names of the boys and girls who were charged after the fight Saturday night outside a Kroger grocery store.
The fight was caught on cellphone video.
They identified the 19-year-old as Raheem Richardson. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer late Monday. Police said a group of teenagers first attacked a 25-year-old customer as he left his car to enter the store. (read more) (more…)
As predicted: The “Mike Brown Effect” Comes To Memphis Tennessee – A white male is jumped in the parking lot of a grocery store. Two store employees try to stop the beating. Video shows the cheering crowd chasing and then gleefully beating and kicking the employees. A young black female videotaped the assault while gleefully proclaiming “they got a white dude.” This beating took place Saturday September 6th – Reverse the races and Don Lemon/Anderson Cooper/Sonni Hostin would be airing 24/7….. […] According to police, three white people were jumped by a large group of teenagers who were chanting “fam mob.” The black group, who came from CiCi’s Pizza, reportedly attacked a 25-year-old white customer as he left his car to enter Kroger.
Two white employees, ages 17 and 18, were attacked while trying to stop the fight. Both were “struck several times in the head and face while being knocked to the ground”. The victims say large pumpkins were thrown at their heads. They both were eventually knocked unconscious. (more…)
NEW YORK – Councilwoman Anastasia Robertson left the City Council meeting Thursday night as a police union leader accused her of inciting a crowd against two police officers Saturday.
“You can’t talk about public safety and assist in public unrest,” Sgt. Thomas Hoffman, president of the Troy Police Benevolent Association, said in calling for the city Ethics Commission to investigate Robertson.
The situation came as the North Central and Lansingburgh neighborhoods in Robertson’s 2nd Council District have been rocked by shootings. (more…)
[…] After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records. . . . (link)
Perhaps the most famous, well, almost famous, of those 2012 incidents was when approximately 100 black teens attacked two white reporters from the Virginia Pilot news organization. The 911 calls from the screaming victims recorded the background voices of the attackers yelling “this is for Trayvon” as the two reporters were pulled from their cars and the beating began. However, The Federal Dept of Justice stepped in to stop the release of the 911 recordings. Attorney General Eric Holder used the auspices and power of the civil rights division, the Community Relations Service, to stop the public release. It took nine months of public records requests, finally we were told only the “edited” versions of those 911 calls would be released. The Civil Rights/CRS edits removed the race-driven chants. Their justification for the content removed: “The best interests of the community were served by the edited content”. So, HERE WE GO AGAIN…..
Missouri – The video appears to show several men run up behind a male and female in an alley and begin assaulting them for about 30 seconds. The attackers appear focused on the male victim, hitting him from behind and kicking at his head and punching him as he fights back. The woman is also hit and thrown to the ground as she turns and tries to help the man. (more…)
Understanding The Origin Of The Mike Brown Narrative
When we first began digging in to the Mike Brown story something odd was immediately identifiable. The individual witness statements, when compared over time, were case studies in the evolution of self-contradiction.
But why ?
It’s generally a true statement that eye witnesses testimonials can often be unreliable; but the statements of the people hitting the New York media circuit were beyond unreliable – they were contradicting themselves from show to show, often within hours.
A little research into the shooting aftermath and things begin to fall into place.
The primary witnesses used to create what we’ll call ‘the media narrative’ were and are: Dorian Johnson, Piaget Crenshaw, and Tiffany Mitchell.
A few days later Michael Brady surfaced, but Brady didn’t follow the same script – and we’ve discovered why.
To understand the origin of the “Hands Up” tale it helps to have a firm understanding of where each of the players are AT THE MOMENT the shooting took place.
Tiffany Mitchell was arriving to the apartment complex in her car to pick up Piaget Crenshaw for work. Tiffany’s car pulled in as the shootingtook place. (more…)
