Yes, smashing cameras is not a good idea. Get in the live shooting shouting: Fox lies!

They can be arrested. That should be âcontrolâ enough. Or do you prefer we kill kids who steal cigarettes? Is stealing tobacco a lethal offense?

If he waits for back up, Brown gets away. And Wilson did not even have a stun gun, and for you to say he âprobablyâ had this or that is pure speculation.
The bottom line is that he tried to get out of the car to confront a guy who had just committed a strong-arm robbery, instead of just letting him walk away. The guy then slams the door on the cop and punches him a few times. Do you think that was smart? Then the guy starts to run, the cop chases him, then the guy turns around and comes at the cop. Did you expect him to just let the guy grab him, because Brown was HUGE and this Wilson guy is definitely a lot smaller. What would you do if you were the cop, just let Brown come right up on you after he just punched you a few times?
The defense of Brown on here is mind boggling. You want a REAL cause? Some kid jumped a turnstile in the subway here in NYC. He resisted arrest, and instead of the cop hitting him on the shoulder or ribs with his baton to subdue him, he cracks him on the HEAD. He could have killed him. THAT is a worthwhile cause to protest, that was sickening to watch.
But in this case, this is tragic, but Brown clearly was just acting stupidly. Itâs even on VIDEO. No different than the jerk guy who was trying to skateboard on top of a moving electrified Metro North train and got killed. Tragic, but no one to blame but himself.

Wilson was trying to arrest him. So what is your point? When he went to get out of the car, Brown slammed the door on him and started punching him. And after Brown ran and Wilson chased him, Brown turned around and came at Wilson. You left that part out. Several witnesses who are black have testified as such. Other witnesses who said Brown was surrendering or shot in the back have since changed their stories, and in fact some have said they just ârepeated what they had heardâ.
No, people should not be executed for shop lifting. But if they start getting physical with a cop who has a gun, they are risking serious trouble, and that is what Brown got.

Too bad Hannity wasnât there to get his face smashed, instead of the camera!
Hannity hides in the studio where it is safe. Youâd never see him doing actual âjournalismâ. He just spews crazy rhetoric that HE knows is BS to keep a nice little market niche of haters. Pays well.

Non-violent protesting gets you nowhere. Without violence, you are at the mercy of the oppressors â the oppressors have the edge. They will let you have your march and say, âthatâs niceâ while they change nothing. Just ask W after millions of people around the world non-violently protested against invading Iraq.
Violence provides leverage and it brings much more attention to the cause. Furthermore, if the âcauseâ were organized, the violence could be focused towards the oppressor. Violence towards the oppressed (neighborhood stores and property, in this case) does bring attention, but not strong enough to bring change. OTOH, organized violence towards the oppressor can be strong enough to bring about policy change.
You will never hear anyone say this in public because the establishment has done their job in elevating the likes of MLK and Gandhi to propagate the standard of non-violence protesting. Such brainwashing âcultural standardsâ always benefit the oligarchic plutocracy in control.
Step back and think how to bring about change. Non-violent protesting will not bring change in your lifetime if ever.
Fuck Fox News is my new motto. Kudos Guy Fawkes!

Unfortunatelyâwhile viscerally satisfying, perhapsâthis just allows Fox viewers to be comforted in their prejudice that it isnât about racial injusticeâŚitâs just some street thugs exploiting an opportunity for lawlessness. Screw Obama, screw the Brown family, screw MLK stressing over and over the importance of not cheapening the movement with violence. But hey, it was fun, huh?

Hannity hates the Carnival atmosphere, but when protesters pointed guns at Feds in Nevada-that was Patriotism

âWonder when the DarrenWilsonStatue will be unveiled?â Never, you are delusional.
ââŚand if DarrenWilson is proud of his execution?â No, I am sure he was not happy he had to kill a guy to defend himself. If he enjoyed killing, youâd think he would have done it before, yes?
So you think if those protests had been violent, the war would not have happened? How about chewing out people like Hillary, Kerry and Reid, who could have EASILY stopped that war with a simple vote of âNoâ. No violence required at all.
MLK and Ghandi did amazing things with non-violent protest. The OPPOSITE of what you said. If MLK had been violent, you get no Civil Rights Act, etc. So you are just plain wrong.
Calling for violence is depraved. Get help.
On the one hand, it couldnât happen to a nicer bunch of assholes.
On the other hand, I wouldnât be surprised to find out FAUX themselves staged it.

Youâre not getting it.
If you are bullied in school, if after you go to the school officials and they do nothing, do you protest against the bully with your friends?
Non-violent protests should be the tool of the oppressed? You will continue to be bullied until you make it stop by bringing the most attention to your cause. Violence speaks louder than a million non-violent men can ever speak.
It was violence that ultimately led to the Civil Rights act â the violence against the protestors. MLK provoked the violence. If the racists had never reacted, there would probably have never been a Civil Rights Act. Besides, that was after 100 years of suffering after slavery had ended. Who has 100 years to suffer through?
If non-violent protests can provoke violence, then that would work just as well. But, thatâs not going to happen in most other cases. The best outcome it could have in the case of Ferguson would be the a change in policy against police militarization (which the GOP has refused to vote on). But, it wonât change the policy on who watches the watchmen.
Take a step out of the box and think for yourself. Otherwise, others will think for you.

Yeah, but Fox is not really ânews mediaâ. Itâs âpropaganda and entertainment mediaâ.

Perhaps. But that would even be more violence that would bring attention to the catalyst.
Violence brings about change. The people in charge want protestors to be non-violent. When there is no uproar, there is no need for change. Change only happens when status quo is upset.
Although violence may bring upon more violence, enough violence brings upon change. Without violence you have status quo.
