What was she up to prior to the incident you've reported?

Anyone here seen the movie Dredd?

I once burgled an ice cream stand with an older 'acquaintance'. His somewhat aged mother had found and cased the place, she got a cut.

I'll never forget that, sitting around a table in the dining room divvying up the take with 'mom'. She didn't look hard bitten or anything like that either, she looked like a granny, and this was in a nice suburb.

I wonder what one of those spent tear gas canisters (Autographed?) would sell for on eBay right now?

Yes, the Vulcans were very impressive chewing a level off that structure.

Havin waited to make a comment on the events. Not wanting to jump in until a medical exam or more then conjecture in the news.

My observation so far, the shooting needs to be investigated by the Justice Department. I believe that at first a bit of stonewalling and how dare you question the police was going on. But now the events have morphed into a confrontation over the inequities in justice in our society. The powerlessness certain groups feel in our unequal justice system.

I know from my experiences in how some law enforcement make a judgment on appearances. Learned to keep my mouth shut and eyes down. Now should I have to just because of long hair beard and drive a van? In a perfect world no, but this one is a long way from one.

Now should there be the unrest and confrontation. I think the media being there and 24/7 coverage is adding fuel to the unrest. But I also think with the military surplus gear being given to local PD this too has escalated the events to a new level. By the officials thinking we have the power to force our will on the citizens. No talking and seeing the other point of views.

I also think being cynical person, that the equipment is being preposition and prepared for the near future. Because with the war on the middle class and the moneyed class fearing soon to be unable to control the electorate. They figure that unrest will become all more common.

I don't think I'd be particularly happy if there was civil unrest in my neighborhood which included criminal damage to property and looting and if the local government did not send in whatever police or troops armed with whatever gear was required to get it to stop. I would suspect a majority of the law abiding residents of Ferguson probably feel the same way...although they may not be comfortable saying so in public.
