Only Nixon Can Go To Ferguson

by JASmius



Let's go through the Missouri governor's remarks, line by line.

Ten days ago, a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in broad daylight.

Stop the tape.  Did anybody know who Michael Brown was ten days ago?  You say his name like he was somebody of importance, Governor, rather than a petty thief sufficiently chowder-headed to charge an armed police officer in a drug-fueled rage.  And what does the time of day of the incident matter?  Do you think them waiting to do their dance after sundown would have been in any way mitigating?

Since then the world has watched a community become engulfed in grief.

No, Governor, since then the world has watched a community be transformed into a war zone by outside black racists looking to exploit this delectable opportunity to foster and spread their bigotry and hatred, which is why the Ferguson police have withdrawn and are doing little or nothing to protect local community businesses from the chaos for fear of another "broad daylight" incident.

For a family mourning the loss of a son, it has been a profound personal tragedy.

Yes, I'm sure it has been, but there's more to the tragedy than the shooting; there's the poor job Michael Brown's parents did in failing to "raise him up in the way he should go," to impart a moral compass and character and values like respect for legitimate authority at least to the degree that you don't shake down convenience stores and you don't attack police officers of any skin color.  And there's the tragedy of a racial grievance culture that teaches black youths that they're absolved of any and all responsibility and culpability for their personal actions because of injustices perpetrated upon their remote ancestors, entitling them to eviscerate societal norms of conduct with impunity.

Which is to say, Michael Brown was already a victim way, way before just ten days ago.

For Ferguson and our entire nation, it has ripped open old wounds that have festered for generations, and exposed difficult issues that communities across the country must still resolve.

Old wounds and difficult issues that your party and side of the aisle have never allowed to heal and the country to ever resolve because you need them to "fester" in perpetuity in order to retain in welfare state servitude the minority constituencies that are the core of your continued political viability and power.

....as the people of Ferguson try to maintain peace, while they call for justice for the family of Michael Brown.

You have to first have peace before you can maintain it, Governor, which your remarks are doing nothing to accomplish.  And it isn't the police that are responsible for that state of affairs.  As for "justice," a strong case can be made that justice has already been done, unless your definition of that term encompasses an already-pummeled cop passively letting himself be disarmed and murdered.

In Ferguson, people of all races and creeds....

...(but a single ideology )....

....are joining hands and praying for justice.

Praying for the lynching of a victimized police officer is a unique supplication, don't you think?

Teenagers cooking meals for law enforcement officers; community leaders demonstrating courage and heroism throughout the night in standing against armed and violent instigators; volunteers coming out to pick up littered neighborhoods - they are the faces of Ferguson; they are the faces of this region; they are the faces, and soul, of Missouri.

Not according to the media, Governor.  Why do you suppose that is?  And if you're correct - and rest assured, I hope you are - then from where did all the "armed and violent instigators" come?  Including the one that was holding an "ISIS is here" sign over Jake Tapper's head yesterday?  Does this concern you at all?  And what if those hopeful images are not, in fact, the faces of Ferguson, your state, and your region?  What if the true faces of Ferguson and Missouri are the "armed, violent instigators"?  What steps, in that instance, would you be willing to take to restore peace and protect the truly innocent?  Whichever it is, the passivity of Ferguson law enforcement this week is hardly encouraging.

For them, for the family of Michael Brown, for all the parents who have had their sons taken from them much too soon, and for all the children dreaming of a brighter and better future, we have a responsibility to come together....

To conform to the officially Regime-sanctioned narrative.

....and do everything we can to achieve justice for this family, peace for this community, and have the courage to address the problems that have divided us for too long.

Well, that cop is dead meat then, isn't he, Governor?  What "courage" does it take to capitulate to threats and provocations of race warfare?  You're a hostage yourself, Governor, a gelded cracker, a whipped honky, all but reading a coerced confession of "collective white guilt"; you're just too hopelessly "Stockholm Syndrome"-ized to recognize that you're part of precisely what is keeping us divided: the American Left and the Democrat Party.

Real problems; of poverty, education, and race.

All created, exacerbated, and maintained by the American Left and the Democrat Party.

So how do we do that?

We'll show you in 76 days, Governor.  I hope you'll be taking notes.
