You think that riots in the streets will save the polar bears??? They'll all be dead within a century or two anyway, except for a pathetic population held in zoos, due to habitat loss as the planet inexorably warms.

Can you stop trolling the thread. I'm not going to warn you again. And if you keep posting the white supremacist and racist and bigoted rubbish you've been spamming in this thread, you will be moderated.
Wilson’s stated that he retreated during the same period that Brown advanced. That period according to the gunfire audio was 6.5 seconds, not 3. For Wilson to retreat 26 ft in 6.5 seconds his average speed would be 2.7 mph, what you and others have described as a geriatric walk. Michael Brown’s 48 ft jaunt in that same period would require an average speed of 5 mph, nearly double that of Wilson.Worse still, you actually expect people to believe that Wilson ran backwards (as he testified he backpedaled) after he had fired the first lot of shots at the advancing Brown, and that he ran 26 feet backwards, while holding a gun pointed at Brown and that he covered that distance backwards in 3 seconds? And not just that, but that in those 3 seconds, from what you linked, he started backing up slowly and then accelerated to cover 26 feet..
Yet that's how his recollection the day after the shooting compared with the evidence and witness testimony. It is what it is. The investigators, the prosecutors and the grand jurors all had access to the same information and more, and all concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge Wilson. Until you can find a party with legal standing to interpret the known evidence in a fashion suitable to convince any charging authority, this case goes nowhere. Where would expect to find an investigative body capable of interpreting this evidence any more rationally than it already has? Maybe the US Justice department, we’ll have to wait and see.It's pretty bad when people such as yourself and others are expecting people to believe that he cannot tell the difference between 15 feet and 48 feet.
Once again..Wilson’s stated that he retreated during the same period that Brown advanced. That period according to the gunfire audio was 6.5 seconds, not 3. For Wilson to retreat 26 ft in 6.5 seconds his average speed would be 2.7 mph, what you and others have described as a geriatric walk. Michael Brown’s 48 ft jaunt in that same period would require an average speed of 5 mph, nearly double that of Wilson.
You call a cop possibly having gotten away with murder "it is what it is"?Yet that's how his recollection the day after the shooting compared with the evidence and witness testimony. It is what it is.
You mean the investigators who were his fellow officers from his station, the prosecutor who was hell bent on flooding the jury with so much evidence and a grand jury hearing that went on for months instead of a few days, told the jury to ignore the law and the evidence, did not tell them to indict which he was required to do, badgered any witnesses who dared to testify in a way that could incriminate Wilson and the list goes on and on and on. You mean those investigators and prosecutor? And a grand jury who at one point were encouraged by the prosecutor to go home and do their own research on the shooting and told to ignore the law entirely? Or this..The investigators, the prosecutors and the grand jurors all had access to the same information and more, and all concluded that there was insufficient evidence to charge Wilson.
The case would go nowhere because Wilson is a police officer. Show me any other case where someone shoots an unarmed man, where the evidence does not match the shooter's testimony at all and there was no trial.Until you can find a party with legal standing to interpret the known evidence in a fashion suitable to convince any charging authority, this case goes nowhere. Where would expect to find an investigative body capable of interpreting this evidence any more rationally than it already has? Maybe the US Justice department, we’ll have to wait and see.
My game?The Marquis said:No. That's your game, and it can be played ad infinitum, with no clear winner.
You know I saw it as well as I do.
So the hardliner dude is the one one who complained about the police's actions and you blame the whole?A "hard liner sheik"?
I would have thought, in Australia, that one who is in power was so because the population wills it so.
So how is this person a sheik? Unless...
Only if you are a simpleton...You link an article about some Muslim leader calling for a through investigation, and for "systems being put in place" to prevent such events.
Firstly, the call for a "thorough investigation" can be read as someone wanting to shift blame elsewhere.
Investigate themselves?That's the norm, these days. Far be it for the Muslim community to investigate themselves, and how their own lifestyles might be alienating them from the general community. Let us never examine that too closely. No. Because being "left on the outside of society" is all our fault. We should investigate. We should accommodate.
What in the hell are you on about now?You see, those very same "Muslim leaders" are arguing that they should be allowed to conduct their affairs exactly as they did in the places they left behind, notwithstanding that they left those places largely because of how they conducted their affairs. So what "systems" are they putting in place to ensure their own children aren't listening to their own "leaders", or to prevent the same cultural issues from arising here as they did there?
Any thoughts? Any links?
You don't expect an honest answer because at this point, I don't think you can recognise honesty if it came and bit you on your backside.Why don't you speak to them, and find out for yourself how they really feel about the separation of church and state as a political goal? Have you ever done that? I have.
I wouldn't expect an honest, direct answer. Sometimes, those honest answers do have a tendency to trickle out, though. You'll find those in the media, too, if you look hard enough. And, of course, in those conversations. That is, of course, if you take the time to hear.
Like you? Like when you tried to claim that you read about a peaceful funeral and then you looked behind the words and somehow or other came to the conclusion that the actual peaceful funeral was a near riot starting? Is that how you read and "absorb" The Marquis?You need to learn how to read, Bells. By which I mean, look behind the words. Read.
Not just absorb.
Err because what you said happened did not actually happen at all...I'm not. That does seem to be a fairly concise description of events. I'm not sure why you think that in any way invalidates what I said, though.
Because the papers reported on the events as they happened. Your narrative is apparently to simply make things up because you really really believe it is true because you looked behind the words...Your newspaper quotes are your narrative. And those of the authors. Not mine.
You are far more susceptible to simply making things up and pretending they are true.I am far less susceptible to emotional influence than you appear to be, and that is primarily why you, those like you, and the types of "reporters" who write this... news, are never going to convince me I'm wrong.
Why are you so intent on hoping that I am being emotional?Emotion, Bells, serves a purpose. That purpose was relevant far more in millennia past than it is now, but ingrained instinct is not so easily rid of. I don't have the patience to expound upon that any further at this point. Suffice to say it is still relevant, but needs to be tempered... dampened, in order to retain that relevance.
Let me guess, you opened a dictionary, found the word racism and this is you looking behind the word again?You know what racism really is, Bells? It's the actions of those who claim they are morally against it, as much as those of the actual racists.
Because, underlying all your rhetoric, there lies the simple belief that those you claim to be defending aren't every bit as smart as you are.
Who knows me?And they know you.
Who is the real enemy? The people making the racist and bigoted and white supremacist remarks? Or the people such people are aiming such racist comments at?As long as they believe they are victims, there are those among them who will ensure they remain so.
They are the real enemy.
Well it certainly does not match up with your imagination where you tried to claim that a riot was about to break out, etc.. Things that never actually happened. It was a funeral, nothing actually happened at the funeral or after the funeral. No riot, no violence.And here we go again.
Such a lovely article. Melancholy, sad. Designed specifically for the likes of you.
Alright, I'll play, for a time. Bit by bit, byte by byte... soooo boring. Nonetheless.
Are you high? No, are you?Children, too? How much do you think they understood what had just happened?
Were they carrying little placards reading "Allah Akbar", or some such? Or didn't they go that far?
They have before, of course.
Err no, the words were pretty clear for themselves. The family did not want the media there and the police were making sure the media stayed back.From who? It isn't really clear, is it? Who was it, exactly, inflaming the situation and inciting comment?
You've filled in the blanks yourself, haven't you?
Could you be more offensive?Right in front of the media? Really?
How did they manage to get this quote... were they dressed in Hajib or something? He used the term "your guys". Who did he think he was speaking to?
Does that qualify as entrapment?
Were the media paying as much attention to detail inside the mosque as they were outside it?
Or weren't they allowed in, so that they could get this kind of quote? Did they even bother looking for one?
Are you done embarrassing yourself some more? Or do you have more left in you?Right out in public, on the asphalt. With all those neighbours apparently watching.
That isn't aggressive at all, is it.
Do you know what makes me disgusted in you, The Marquis?Awww.
Now tell me exactly how this gives any insight into what she was thinking.
Or any of the others.
Little of this you've quoted is news, Bells. Little of it fact.
It's an opinion piece, aimed at you.
It's these continued attempts to try to represent it as such which makes me disgusted with you.
When you are reading between the lines and seeing things that did not actually happen and acting or claiming they did happen because you read between the lines, then it is no longer reading between the lines but a full on health issue and you should consult with a health professional as soon as possible.The Marquis said:Only those with the capability of thought outside their own ideals. Perhaps I'll aim a little lower, and say those with the ability to read between the lines.
So, no. Not many at all.
I persevere, nonetheless.
Oh I'm sorry, was reality not good enough for you? Did you want fairy pictures?So, once again, what have you actually got to refute what I said?
Yes, how dare I expect police to not be corrupt and to actually uphold the law. How utterly disrespectful of people like me to have this expectation.I stated that the lack of respect to police has in no small part to the disrespect shown by people like you, who seem determined to point out the many failings of police in support of their own ideals, and to state in response to their own argument that "more training" is the solution.
Much better for the populace to look behind the words, completely fabricate things and pretend that fabrication is reality.. How's that working out for you so far?So it's ok for the populace to be stupid, misinformed, herd-orientated cretins.
My god son is a police officer. No, what should be required is honesty, intelligence and understanding the law and also not being corrupt. Do you need help understanding those virtues?But to qualify as a police officer, one must be a paragon of virtue. Trained to be a Saint. Perhaps even subject to virginity tests.
Are you aware that you are not even making any sense?Tell me, Bells. Where are the police going to come from? Do you think it might help if we specifically targeted Muslim women wearing Hijabs for recruitment into the police force, in order to gain the respect of that particular minority?
You know... so that the police gain respect not for upholding the law, but because they are upholding the law in the name if Islam, or something.
You are a liar because you completely and utterly made something up and tried to pass it off as fact.Irony... How ironic.
My goal? And I'm a liar. That, by the way, is becoming more and more a standard response from both you and Tiassa these days. Just call someone a liar.
I call you out on posting an opinion piece as fact that you demand in support of argument, and I'm a liar.
Par for the course, really.
The police need better training and corruption has to be stamped out because that's reality. Do you need help understanding that at all?Yes, that's what people like you are saying. But is it true?
Are we now to completely disregard the public themselves and resolve them of all blame?
Are you aware that I was talking about the police in the US?Ok. So now the police are wandering around in riot gear and carrying heavy weaponry for highway patrols.
Yes, that would be bloody stupid.
Unfortunately for you, it isn't the case at all.
Is it, Bells.
I mean, I'm seeing police wandering around with Glocks at the hip. SOP, these days.
But I'm not seeing grenade launchers, or armoured anti-mine vehicles. On patrol.
Riiiigghhhttttt...Reality? Where the fuck are you, Bells?
Are you trying to convince me I'm losing it? Are you trying to convince them?
I'm as drunk as a monkey right now, and I still have a better grip on that reality thing than you do.
It's actually damned frightening.
Okay.. What you are claiming you saw, DID NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. I don't quite know how else to make this clear for you. I have tried to correct you, provide you with the correct information and show you that what you believe and you are claiming happened or what you have seen, did not actually happen.I'm not making anything up, Bells. I've seen what I've seen.
You, on the other hand, only see what you want to.
And if you had bothered to read, the police drove up, opened the car door and shot him dead. No questions were asked, no demands were made and the boy had no time to respond. He was shot as soon as the door was opened as soon as they drove up onto that grass.And had you done any reading, you'd have found that the fact that someone said "it was only a BB gun" was not communicated in time to the officers on the scene.
Liar.
That's ok now, right? To call you a liar?
Umm they weren't confronted with anything. They had not even sighted the gun when they shot him. The police car drove up onto the grass, stopped within feet of Tamir Rice and by the time the officer was out of the car, he'd already shot him. Then they let him bleed for about 4 minutes and had not started first aid and it wasn't until an FBI officer arrived and started first aid. But it was too late.You want facts? You want reality, Bells?
THIS is an airsoft gun:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft_gun
THIS is what those police were confronted with.
Hows's that for a fucking link.
I think you've done that to yourself more than anyone could "fuck with you".Do NOT try to fuck with me.
Does that make you feel better? All macho and shit? "When" you stick one of those in my face to make me scared? Do you think I am scared already? Thankfully this is the internet and the chances of you coming within 10 miles of me is nil, so your comments of 'when you stick one of those things in my face' is pretty much you just making a bigger tool of yourself instead of being an actual threat, but really, perhaps you want to get a grip.. And some help.And DO NOT try to tell me that when I stick one of those in your face, you'll consult your goddamned manual to see if it's a real threat or not.
It has you scared.
But it was a toy gun..STOP trying to intimate that this thing was a toy.
It was never pointed at anyone. The police never even saw the gun when they shot him.Having a real one pointed at you doesn't have you consulting a recognition manual in order to find out if it fires real bullets.
Are you suggesting things that would have my children killed?Give one to your kids, if you think it's a toy. Tell them it's ok to point it at strangers. Particularly if those strangers are police officers. Particularly in a place where police officers are confronted with this kind of thing often enough to make them wary of the fact that they might become a statistic.
Again with comments about how to possibly get my children killed...? First the whole "when" you point one of those things in my face and your whole spiel about how scared I am (as though you somehow believe this has already happened) and twice now, comments on how to possibly get my children killed. Are you unwell?Give one to your kids, and tell them its ok. And then tell the police and the media that the police shot your kid because they didn't have enough training.
Sue for compensation.
And then sell your story to Women's Weekly for 50 grand.
And I used to think you were sane, defended you against those who once demanded you be banned from this site and actually liked you as a fellow human being. I don't any more. In fact, I'd really prefer you never PM me again, and I would really prefer you just don't speak to me again, thanks. Because, if I am to be perfectly honest, you are clearly insane. And you need help. And as someone who actually used to enjoy chatting to you and reading what you had to say, I am being perfectly honest when I say that you need help.Is this all you are now?
I thought you were more, once.

There is nothing inherently foul about what I've posted here. You may not like it--which is fine--but labeling it "foul" is a purely subjective thing as pertains to you. Foulness to me contextually speaking would include injustice, overt oppression, fanning flames of racial hatred, dishonesty, and the like. Our differing perspectives lead to a difference of opinion as to who the guilty parties are....the psychological foulnness you post...
I agree. Hence the choice of label for your posting. Wear it with pride - you've earned it.photizo said:Foulness to me contextually speaking would include injustice, overt oppression, fanning flames of racial hatred, dishonesty, and the like
Foul is a purely subjective word. You might think bigotry, racism, violence etc are all quite fair and pure - but most of the world considers them foul, and thus it is a quite accurate description of what you have posted.There is nothing inherently foul about what I've posted here.

Then your posts fall quite accurately into the category of "foul" given that you have advocated for the above.Foulness to me contextually speaking would include injustice, overt oppression, fanning flames of racial hatred, dishonesty, and the like.

"most of the world considers them foul"--ever heard the term "the ignorant masses'? Your 'heroes' shamelessly exploit them using alinsky's tactics to further their manifold schemes to destroy this country.
Time for your disparagement of the affirmative action hiring of Wilson, who besides being white and male was an otherwise unqualified and incompetent outsider, as a police officer in Ferguson.photizo said:- - - a double standard in their application quickly becomes discernible - - -
