Finnbow, in your rant about the national media making this silly little local story into a national media event, you showed that you do not understand how the media works. They sell papers and get web hits by publishing controversy, and there is nothing more controversial in the country now than Ferguson and Brown/Wilson. Brown is the largest trending topic on social media, and threads about Brown/Wilson/Ferguson are virtually the only threads with posts in the last couple weeks here, and at other political chat sites.

If you rail against the media circus, you are talking about the triumvirat of media/social/internet these days.

If you want to spread things to the entire world, Brown is still the largest news story in the world, so it is not going to die down in a quick and painless way. It will continue to build. It is BIG>

Yet I was criticized for using the term racial grievance industry.

Here's another thoughtful article by a professor of criminal law, criminal procedure, and crime victims' rights in support of the grand jury's finding based upon reliable witness testimony and related legal theory. It speaks also an witness intimidation and fabricated, inconsistent testimony by other witnesses.

Here's another asserting the fairness of the grand jury process used.

I'm guessing he's a racist, bigot or KKK sympathizer.

What about this, Mr. DSM V?

As already pointed out by Dave. You and other baggers are talking about a maladaptive sense of entitlement, which within your limited social agenda, you conveniently refer to as "entitlement." And what may actually be a "sense of entitlement", even within the guidelines of whichever DSM one is invested in, is an opinion.

Stick with what you know finn, you'll make less of a fool of yourself. When you start drifting into whatever the fuck it is think you know, you expose the limitations of the expert on everything you think you are.

I haven't once used the "entitlement" meme in addressing the cause in Ferguson. That's Zeke's gig, not mine. I did, however, offer the above nugget when you went all armchair psychiatrist on us, offering diagnoses of people you've never met from thousands of miles away. Yet, you rail against inappropriate use of the DSM. Shrink, heal thyself.

PS - I'm as much of a 'Bagger as you are a Hamas member.

I coulda been an armchair pipefitter and recognized the narcissism dripping off of you.

Now Zeke's a bagger too lol. Ranks are growing

I find two interesting points not discussed. One, many in the party of increasing government power seems to love hammering enforcement.

Two, aren't minorities in Ferguson the majority? Then why the hell don't they have their own government under control? They can hardly claim repression. Oh wait, .....

It is called Gerrymandering Pete, named from its first practitioner Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts.

I'm still working on my armchair diagnosis to explain your sense of intellectual inferiority. I suppose, working in a field that treats every human affliction, from acne to athlete's foot, with benzodiazepines and SSRI's, an accurate diagnosis is unimportant. Take 2 Xanax and a couple of Prozac and call me in the morning. If this doesn't work out for you, we'll move on to Zyprexa.
