Ferguson Protesters Refuse To Leave As Midnight Curfew Passes; Police In Riot Gear Present: Live Feeds
Update 2: It is after midnight in Ferguson and the curfew is now in effect for the next 5 hours. However, it appears that the curfew has already been broken. The ball is in the police's court:

As reported earlier, the governor of Missouri announced earlier his afternoon that starting midnight, a curfew will be imposed on Ferguson until 5 am as part of the state of emergency unviled by the governor. The only problem is that with about an hour to go, the protesters have filled the streets and are refusing to disperse, even as police in riot gear is present and roadblocks have been setup.

The local police have cordoned off local storefronts as if expecting a repeat of last night's looting, which suggests that everyone now expects that the imposed curfew will be violated

Central Time Zone we got an hour TD....
You know who could help end all this..... Turd,
Turd Ferguson.....
That entire town is a den of criminals and thugs, who would stand up for a dead criminal otherwise. A town full of bloods and crips.
They should put a permanent fence around the cesspit and call it Ferguson max security prison
Is there a Taco Bell in Ferguson...all these people are going to need late night food.
Looks like its almost time for a little wood shampoo! Or molasses!

No auto-play. Thank God.
smashed windows are good for GDP. So is restocking inventory.
let them eat 7/11
No doubt Obozo's FBI and DOJ will make damn sure the local police "stand down" at midnight and do absolutely nothing whilst yet even more looting & lawlessness takes place.
Because anything else would be raciss, don't you know...
...Just put out an "Ebola Virus is Airborne in Ferguson" announcement.
Where's Turd Ferguson when you need him?

I heard Eric Holder was involved in the decision NOT to release the surveillance footage + strong arm robbery 'accusations', from the get-go.
I wish there were a way to confirm things like this. But I would not be surprised IN THE LEAST.
Maybe the shooting was justified. Stranger things have happened. I wonder if the powers-that-be will turn the officer into a sacrificial lamb. Somebody has to be thrown to the mob. Bitchez.

Never let a crisis go to waste...
all set up i say. it's not real fair to say the whole town are criminals and I read a lot of blogs that think this is a joking matter. this is the future for our country if something is not done immediatly. the bail outs should have gone to the people and then told everyone able body and that's means if you can talk you can work or starve
if his name is Turd, he is probably swimming in a porcelain pool.
Here is the problem, the looters have been looting the country via EBT and handouts so they now have to feed the addiction. I'm sure there are a majority of people who are protesting peacefully, but that thug 4% gon get dey shit. What's being lost is the fact that the police are out of control and are basically a domestic army to fuck "we the people" up. That's why everyday you here of abuse. Check out CopBlock. Stories all over. These are symptoms of the final stages of societal rot here in America.
Thank you for bringing attention back to the real issue here.
Holder dispatches team that ‘inflamed’ Trayvon case
If Obozo had several sons ...
IR: This morning the official word is that someone started shooting at a police car and a guy was also shot in the crowd, which caused the police to fire tear gas. In the below video you can clearly see that the gunshots happened well after the tear gas was fired. (shots occur around 17 min in). The guy that was shot was a 30 year old white guy, and he was not helped by any police or EMTs in the area. Despite being in critical condition, he was taken to the hospital in a private car.

Those shots were fired after the tear gas.
Good post and comment.
About this though, "Here is the problem, the looters have been looting the country via EBT and handouts so they now have to feed the addiction."
The problem is not the ones receiving or being given this lucre, but the ones that stole it in the first place to give to them. The “looters” are the criminals of government not the recipients of the loot.
If a habitual mugger is finally caught and it turns out that he has been giving his unsuspecting grandmother the loot, is the answer to punish the mugger or the grandma?
“Kill the recipient and they will make more. Kill the thief and the thieving stops.”
Additionally, without special privileges backed by the violence of government, and the entitlement indoctrination from government, would black people and communities be like they are today? I think not.
The government is the enemy, the enemy is the government.
An American, not US subject.
Thank you kchrisc for pointing out the legal regime lining their pockets through the machinery of perpetual victimhood. However, in a sane society, the recipients of the loot would also be held responsible. Except...
Liberal Orthodoxy 101: Blacks are always victims.
If you question the orthodoxy under any circumstances, you are a waycist, and subject to termination, exile, and/or SPLC/NAACP lawfare.
Thus, Big Mike is the victim of police brutality, despite assaulting an officer of the law. Do you see the inversion? Let us broaden our scope of inquiry..
Thus, Blacks are victims of "gun violence", despite being the overwhelming perpetrators of said gun violence. You must be disarmed in order to make them safe.
Thus, Blacks are victims of "bad schools", despite their poor conduct and educational habits being the overwhelming contributors to the bad school. Your child's school must be made unsafe in order to make their average test scores higher.
Thus, Blacks are victims of "housing projects", despite being the overwhelming perpetrators of violence, burglary, and vandalism that creates an unlivable environment. Your neighborhood must be made unlivable to ease the conditions they created in public housing.
Thus, Blacks are victims of "food deserts", despite being the overwhelming perpetrators of petty theft, armed robbery, and mob looting that lead to few viable businesses in their community. We haven't come up with a policy recommendation yet, but rest assured, infringement of your right to free association and expropriation of your taxes will be involved somehow.
Shall I go on? Or can you see the inversion of perpetrator and victim yet? Do you see how the State Machinery is always employed to reduce the freedoms of civil society due to the actions of an uncivil minority?
Our current legal Multiculturalist regime only makes sense when viewed as an orthodox State Religion. If you disagree, or merely point out the obvious agency behind these social ills, and the cooperative effort of the State to thereby seize more power, you are a heretic, and shall be made to suffer.
Ordo ab Chao. One side provides the Chao, the other, the Ordo. It's a cooperative effort between the Kleptocracy above, and the Lootarchy below. A plague on both their houses.
Black Man Goes on EPIC Rant Against Ferguson Rioters
One voice crying from the wilderness...
+1 for epic.
@kchrsc
The problem with your mugger analogy is that grandma was unaware of the source of her grandsons philanthropy. If she had I suspect that she would have at least stopped taking the money and maybe even turned her grandson in to the authorities. The FSA knows damn well the source of their welfare programs and keeps voting for raises with every election cycle. Sorry, I'm not buying the innocent victim argument.
Blacks have been used as political pawns since the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction. And it was really put into high gear with LBJs 'great society' programs in the 60s. (LBJ didn't give a damn about blacks.). Innocent victims ? No they're not innocent - and unfortunately people tend to take 'free' money when offered to them, especially when the bribe is accompanied by a good cover story.
So many of the self satisfied, fail to see the bribes they have accepted. How about public 'workers' - including 'teachers', postal workers, those in the military, etc ? (And retirees from those sectors). How about those working in defense related industries ? How about farmers getting government payments ? How about those in trades & businesses protected from competitors through getting favorable laws & regulations passed by politicians grateful for their campaign contributions and 'speaker fees' ?
There's a lot of hypocrites around - in all colors.
USA looted EBT cards
USA looted by derivatives
Derivatives, undoubtedly so.
In Bastiat's tale, a man's son breaks a pane of glass, meaning the man will have to pay to replace it. The onlookers consider the situation and decide that the boy has actually done the community a service because his father will have to pay the glazier (window repair man) to replace the broken pane. The glazier will then presumably spend the extra money on something else, jump-starting the local economy.
Why do we have unemployed homeless people? Can't they just get jobs making homes for each other???
Why do we have ten percent (or whatever the real figure is) unemployment??? Can't we all just work ten percent less hours and then everyone has a job? Oh yeaaahh, but then we have to redistribute production amongst ten percent more people! Deary, deary me.
Why can't the gummint pay people to build houses and give them to poor people? (Assuming, of course, that the poor people don't trash said houses. Whoops! Fucked up that question already!) "What are ya? A goddamn COMMUNIST!!!!?????"
No, you gotta have "capitalism" you stupid lazy fuck! "Rich" people borrow money, you see, and they build lots of empty houses and that creates jobs. Then they rent out the houses, and get the houses revalued as being worth more money so they can borrow more money and build more houses. No, the rent doesn't cover the mortgage or the profit. Rent is just there to make stupid factory slaves work harder because they deserve it. Negatively geared tax breaks plus capital gains pays for the mortgage and profit. And that is why the empty houses need to be kept off market until another rich person buys another overpriced house because those values have to keep going up because the house-builder is a capitalist risk-taker and deserves that profit you wussy limp-wristed son-of-a-bitch now stop being so lazy and go out and borrow shitloads of money that you don't know how to repay, I mean, take some risks, I mean, find someone you can dump all your losses onto, I mean, manage your risks - waddya think pension funds are for? A whole bunch of retirees getting angry? I don't think so! Plus, if you manage it right, you should be long dead and gone before any retirees notice anything is amiss.
That whole "broken windows" thing really shits me. It's supposed to be the beginning of the discussion, not the end of it. It fails to mention all the other people in town who miss out on having a window because production was redirected to replacing the broken one. Society doesn't need jobs, it needs production. We can have as many jobs as we like in any number of ways - people work less hours per week (and why not if you're not getting as much as you used to ?), people digging by hand instead of using shovels, carry things by hand instead of using trucks etc - but none of that helps production.
And why do we need money? Blah blah blah ... medium of exchange ... blah blah blah ... proof that you contributed to production and therefore are entitled to a proportionate amount of consumption. So what does it really mean when you can't get a job because you have no money? For example, the question I asked at the beginning - Why don't unemployed homeless people get employment building homes for each other???? Oh, because they have no money. So they have to kick-start the whole thing by burning down the home of someone who can afford to rebuild!!! Ooooooohhhh, I see. Are we making progress?
PT For example, the question I asked at the beginning - Why don't unemployed homeless people get employment building homes for each other????
---
Perhaps they are unskilled. There can be many reasons. Let me put it to you this way. I've seen the make shift homes they build. Even if they were given proper materials/supplies, I wouldn't trust the ability of most of them to build a house. You try to pose a philosophical question but there are realistic answers to your question.
The above posts are foolish at best because the real problem is HUMAN NATURE, or just about any animal nature for that matter.
Because humans are funduhmentally lazy fucks who will do as little as necessary to survive and then blame the other guy for their shitty life who is busting his ass to live better than they are.
Another consideration is the well know "Skinner Box" experiment where pigeons are trained to associate some action with the reward of food.
Well that's what places like Ferguson have become; one big Skinner Box where the denizens have been conditioned to do nothing useful and obey few rules but to get EBT cards for the reward of all their needs.
But when the conditioned lazy denizens start seeing they might actually need to conform to some rules for their reward, they become angry and riot.
So please stop all this bullshit about homeless people building homes for each other or any other idealistic crap like that to solve social problems because they've been so conditioned to think and act as a victim to get a reward.
Just like pigeons will if it works for a while.
The above posts are foolish ast best because the real problem is the MONETARY SYSTEM. Yes. humans are fundamentally lazy or want to get the most result for the least work. Yet as long as there is an entity that is able to create money out of thin air and then spend it there is absolutely no point in actually working to produce something. Why actually work and create something when I can borrow money, "buy" the labor and productiion of someone else who is foolish enough to work and then resell it to someone else at a "profit"? Designing, producing, distributing and selling an actual product is hard work with sometimes low margins. It is much more "profitable" to simply borrow money into existance, buy the product (or even the whole company) and then sell that production on to suckers who actually have to work/produce for a living. You'd have to be an idiot to work or produce as long as there exists a Federal Reserve. Those workers are creating the money that I have borrowed through their labor.
All we will do is put band-aids on our economic wounds until we "End The Fed" and return to sound money.
The problem is surplus humans. The elites usually have a cure for that. Several cures, in fact. I wonder which is being prepared for the next culling.
Go to any Wal Mart with food in a middling neighborhood. They line up 24x7 with packed parking lots with EBT cards for Obama voters and illegals. Like locusts.
All believing that ENDLESS free shit is their right.
sessinpo: The above rant was a knee-jerk reaction to the comment above re "broken windows", which I then broadened. Perhaps this is the wrong thread for such a discussion but that is only a minor problem and certainly not a given.
I don't care in the slightest how many people out there don't want to work and are happy bludging off of everyone else. What I do care about is the people who do work hard but cannot see a return on their input. Hard workers are a dime a dozen - I've seen factories full of them. Likewise, while some have learnt to enjoy or tolerate bludging, there are still plenty of unemployed people who would much rather be earning an income through useful production. People dont suddenly become lazy just because they lose their job. Most people know how to swap labour for money but few people know how to find or create customers. Far fewer people know how to turn one dollar into two dollars. And fewer people again understand the most important skill - how to turn zero dollars into one dollar.
I wish I could ignore my bullshit philosophy question, "Why don't the homeless unemployed build houses for each other" but to me it is very real. Despite working hard and studying to improve my place in the world, the price of capital spent 15 years appreciating at a rate that left all my hard work in the dust. Now this could be interpreted as bad luck or idiocy on my part, except that I am not the only one. I worked my way up from the minimum wage to the average wage. I wasn't a lone idiot. What I "suffered" was also suffered by a significant portion of the population.
The answer to the "unemployed homeless building homes" question is "simple": They don't have the skills, they don't have the resources and they have no idea how to acquire the skills or the resources. If you want to take the question literally ( it was supposed to be a metaphor for the wider economy ), imagine a homeless, cashless, unemployed person who actually tries to take my advice. The solution? Go to the bank and BORROW a shit-ton of money. Pay your own way through trade school. Work for free in order to learn the necessary hands-on skills. Put in a cheaper quote than other tradesmen - run at a loss until you build a reputation, the work comes to you and you can increase your prices to a level where you can repay your loan. Well, that lets one unemployed person pull himself out of the ditch, and if the other unemployed people don't do the same then chances are that all he has done is put the tradie he undercut back into the ditch. Errrr, the point of this paragraph is that most, good, conscientious people would never think to borrow money when they are broke. They couldn't imagine a banker giving them a loan in the above circumstances. Most good people are well aware that loans need to be repaid and can't imagine running at a loss for a few years. In fact, anyone who thinks they can just keep borrowing more money with no concrete plan on how to repay it BY DEFINITION HAS AN ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY. THEY ARE THE FREE SHIT ARMY, just a smarter version and more ambitious. If they eventually get lucky and manage to make a few consistent interest payments then we call them entrepreneurs.
But if you don't have time for my bullshit philosophy questions, that is okay. I'll leave you to keep up your good work. If I was successful then I too would be doing things far too important to have time for such trivialities. For the rest of us, I've thrown the question out there. By the look of it, no-one else has anything to add either.
Are unemployed people useless? Sure, some are. But not all of them. And I only care about the ones that actually want to work. And there's plenty of them out there.
You should be hoarding +300 greens for that post.
If those coloreds followed their instincts , they'd protect the Taco Bell as a refueling point and the fucking pigs should let them. Come 2am, they'd be rioting for Tums, Rolaids and Bismol if they could get off the shitter.

'coloreds?' What, did you RETIRE in '86? I've never heard that word spoken in my entire life.
No shit — I'm wondering what else is about to crawl out from under a rock here on ZH.
I'm steeling myself for a KKK avatar.
If I need to choose, I'd rather live in Thailand over China OR Missouri. I've been to all of them multiple times, and really... it's not that close.
Everything will remain calm unless the looters hit Dunkin Donuts. Don't ever try to get between a cop and his donuts.
anyone who brings race or color into this discussion is forgetting that there is ultimately only one war: class war
racial issues are an illusion of demographics, remember that, & pull yer ignorant fukn heads in
geez....you guys are too wound up!
It's the National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People for fucks sake!! Next, you'll be telling me that only black people can call each other niggers...
Post Script: The only person I ever heard use the term 'colored' was my gramps. He was truly from another era in many respects.
are all those who downvoted me telling me that the white poor of america are ethically superior and refrain from rioting/ looting when the oligarchy neglects their aspirations?
go read some history, willya
Race is not an illusion. Go read some biology.
And how can a population fed, housed, educated, and medicated by other people's taxes be considered "neglected". I guess the oligarchy neglected to give them a flat screen and some hair weave too. So they had to riot to get some?
Spare us the cultural marxism and the eternal victimhood narrative. The "ignorant" insult is always telling.
Yes I do like Dunkin...yet no, don't have a problem with the Mo.
These aren't just "black folks"...these are the "whole bag of nuts" called America...and I think they're sick and of being, well...sick and tried.
Looking across from you are guys armed to the death with enough equipment to take on the Islamic Horde...instead it's "take in the neighborhood."
The looting will stop...but the pause that is needed is not one for "reflection" (what the hell does that mean????) but for RECOVERY!
This violence is a direct result of "yuppiedom" run wild. Interesting theory of course...but it doesn't make any sense to Vox Popullii and it's definitely a bad way to win a war.
Better to steel yourself agains the kids you support who do the crime sprees punk

Are you posting from a Homeland Security Fusion Center, a panel at the Southern Poverty Law Center, or from somewhere in Tel Aviv? Surely you can't be a legit Zerohedge poster... we don't have anyone that f-ing dumb here.
Yes, it's quite clear the sockpuppets are out in force tonight.
It's pretty clear they want the narrative to be about race, and not about power, and especially not about people questioning their government or its agents.
Sorry, Oz, we've all seen behind the curtain here, it's a prerequisite to joining fight club.
The short , short, I think is that these people need to read up on the real dynamics of what is going on. That there are honest protesters whose Constitutional rights have been repeatedly violated and are pissed off. (As they should be) That there are thugs coming in from neighboring areas that are exploiting the situation. And that the police have made concerted criminal attacks on news media then lied their asses off about it. Not to mention FBI informant and subversive Al Sharpton fanning the flames and grandstanding along with Barry S... Remember the 2014 elections are in less than 90 days and if the Commies, I mean Democrats don't start pulling some serious shit they are about to get thumped.

Good Work Guys! Always good to be aware of trolls & sock puppies puppeting disinfo to 'collect/register' our opinions in their Utah-database facility.
I think 'habopants' Sun, 08/17/2014 - 00:24 | 5104028 below, did probably the stake-in-the-heart.
Yepp. btw, during the '60's people in New Jersey called afro-americans 'colored people' to be nice. Otherwise the 'N'-word was used. After the riots in Newark, we white folks began to understand 'black' was the proper colloquial for afro-americans.
There's no reason to suspect that everyone you disagree with is a government agent. Every movement has assholes, and movements may even invite certain types of assholes due to their political background. Given many of the votes COSMOS received and his opinions being similar to many others here, what if there is a problem at the heart of the ideas many espouse? After all, many of the core beliefs of constitutionalists come from a time when slavery was the norm and wiping out indigenous populations was standard practise.
That may be harder to deal with than just writing people off as agents when you don't agree with them. Something to think about.

More fuel for the pyre!
This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
What do you mean, "biblical"?
What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
He did not say it properly. It's 'colored folks'
Relax, he used the C word to be funny and get a rise out of people, which he did. It was Kinda funny actually. I've never heard anyone use that word except maybe some old movie, it's probably banned by now.
Black friend once told me, "There's black folk. And then there's niggers. And you a white nigger."
How about calling someone a colored white folk. That'll confound them and it's original.
My grandmother, who died ten years ago at the age of 87, used that word. It was the polite term in her social set. I think that gives you a sense of when it was in vogue.
That would be 1917, the tail end of the Progressive Era.
Hardly... Colored was used in the south throughout the sixties and into the seventies... How do I know? I was there... You have any other stupid remarks?
Hardly what? do the math all I said was her grandmother was born in 1917. Who cares about the sixties and seventies, that's when everyone turned gay. When did the word gay start meaning homo?
That's what happens when you buy your aging father his first laptop computer. Sigh...
He's probably 30 years old. Are people that politically castrated and sensitive that they can't see it's a joke? I guess yes.
Ever see "Pleasantville?"
humble_man 'coloreds?' What, did you RETIRE in '86? I've never heard that word spoken in my entire life.

You are right. Those coloreds would be eating collards, not taco bell. /sarc
It was the universal descriptor, along with Negros until the early-mid 70's until Black Power brought Afro-American and finally 'black' into common use.
It started with Louis Farrakan and Nation of Islam rejecting Negro and colored as a slave term and 'black' as a free self choice term and was brought before white America by the newly renamed Muhammed Ali. This is not to say that Dick Gregory, James Baldwin and others in the black community had this discussion earlier, but the power of Ali's name was a big factor in putting 'black' in America's conversation.
Race riots following MLK's assassination, The rise of the Black Panther Party, Mau-Mau's and other radical Black groups forced the issue in White America's conscience. Newspaper columnists began using the term followed by television news until it became used by both black and whites universally except for the elderly of both races.
Baldwin's 'Black Like Me' in the 50's was an oddity in that time frame to white America.
Who does your laundry then?
Everyone knows you have to keep the coloreds and whites seperated.
See, That's funny but it's not politically correct so it's not acceptable.
First they came for the 'coloreds'?
Dumbass.
Dennys for some overeasys, with hash browns with lotsa Tabasco?
The important question do they accept EBT Cards?
EBT, the new American Express.
Seems that the EBT network is down, oh hell, just grab 'n' go.
Taco Bell?
You mean Kentucky Fried Chicken.
And yeah, I think it would do some good.
Chicken grease is a natural sedative.
Time for a whitehouse beer summit.
They look like human beings to me.
They look like HOOD RATS to me, protesting that one of their own cant rob a liquor store, beat up its owner, then assualt a cop and try to take his gun away and kill him.
Only in Umerica. Would love to see these rats try this in China.
I'd love to see you try and live in China as well. Good luck.
Would love to live in China rather than Ferguson. At least I would be safe from having my store looted, daughters raped and killed and god knows what else.
Then you should catch a flight, why stay in the US if you hate it so much?
http://www.newnation.org/NNN-Black-on-White.html
Here is what a random internet search showed up.
Why should I have to flee from these criminals, got my neighborhood watch group and we are well armed to keep our little corner of the USA safe and free from crime. Those Ferguson rats better stay in their sewer and not come out to where we live.
Well you seem to be a huge fan of Russia and China from what I gather, so I figured you wouldn't mind living there. You approve of their policies and the way they run their countries over the US so why not move? seems logical.
Why dont you go move to Ferguson punk if you love criminals so much.
I don't know I kinda like where I'm at, but you don't seem happy here from most of your post I come across, I don't understand why you would want to stay, seems like you hate the US.
If I hated the country I was in as much as you do I would probably take off. What keeps you here if it's such a rotten country to live in?
I said would live in China rather than have to live in Ferguson, quite happy in my little corner of the USA which is far away from Ferguson, and where those hood rats would get shot if they tried to loot. Been through the LA riots, know how to handle these roaches.
So you prefer living where you are at in the US over living somewhere in Russia or China then? That is interesting, maybe I judged you wrong then, from what I could gather from your previous posts this was the last place on earth you would want to live.
Hobo I prefer living anywhere other than Ferguson or next to people like you that are accessories to criminal acts. Most likely your hobo pants are stuffed full of looted stuff also. FU
One thing you find in so-called communist cities is that the streets are generally clean and safe, even late at night, the reason being that punishments are severe. You see all ages walking around well into the evening, grandma and grandpa, young families with children, you name it. Rgds
You also find yourself in a gulag if you do not agree with certain communist states. Really are you touting the lifestyle of the great communist country's we've seen. How has it worked out for the former USSR, Argentina, Cuba, etc.... Those families all walked around safely unless of course if they found themsleves disenchanted with the Dear Leader. Then no none found them. Ever.
Aren't we all just human beings?
Each of us has a stinky asshole.
We're all the same.
We are not all the same- mine is a ring of fire...

You're the kind of reptile that would provide state of the art military weapons to incarcerated felons swearing to get even with their victims, then release them.
I am at least 30x more rational than you, and I won't take force off the table, because of people like you. Think about it.
Asshole.
Well you sure got me figured out.
I was plinkin' today.
Praticing...
Preparing for the day I meet a snake.
I survived combat. Boy. I'm not getting a nickel from .gov.
I score people in a way you'll never understand, you pussy. Don't come near me.
So many Internet heroes out tonight.
You smell like a .gov troll.
I survived combat. Boy. I'm not getting a nickel from .gov.
Well then...you're getting screwed cause doing that entitles you to certain benefits.
Yes it does. If I suck. But I'm not beholden to any master.
I ddn't do it for them.
To paraphrase and update a rant once perfromed by the comedic genius of the great Red Fox on the notion of everyone having a stinkiy asshole"
"Paris Hilton, Gweneth Paltrow, Sheryl Crow, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Kardashian's, Pelosi, Feinstein, Buffet (insert any name celebrity/politcal/economic elites) all have to 'wash they ass' like everyone else"
If anyone falls into the trap of thinking the "beautiful people" of the world, especially the ones that love to pass down edicts on how the "little people" should behave, just think of them in the state of having massive diarrhea. Nasty shit all over the place and skid marked drawers or mini skirts in case they decided to go commando. That will give you a reality check to help you if you fall into some kind of worship over the fake jerk offs.
Off topic, it is very easy for people of wealth to act as if they are smarter than the rest due in part because society as a whole treats them as if they are intellectually superior. Wealth does not equate to intellect. I have experienced this in my lifetime and experienced the "magic" in person. As a young man I framed houses and after a 14 hour work day in triple digit heat I would stop by the convenient store to get something, most folks wouldn't even look at me much less acknowledge my existence or help in any way. After finishing college and starting corporate career, same store, same folks though this time in a suit and tie, I was treated with so much respect. It was an eye opener. Move forward a decade or 2 when I actually made some serious cash during the go go internet days, once some folks realized what I had done suddenly had them treating me as if I had all of the answers.
Outside of experience that age brings and a formal education that really didn't expand my mind as much as you think it should, I was the same person who was ignored after working my ass off all day framing houses in triple digit heat as I was winning at the gambling casino that characterized the stock market of the internet boom. I was more lucky than good and yet suddenly I was treated as if I had all the answers by the same people that just a few years earlier were my corporate colleagues or family. As a side note I was a southerner living in the northeast. The assumption by the north easterner was that it was impossible for me to have equal or even superior intellect. It was satisfying to be underestimated and after some time these folks actually became great friends and at least some understood that just because someone seems to talk slow (due to accent) that doesn't equate to someone thinking slow or inferiorly.
Argentina?
When were they ever communist?
Please share your first hand knowledge of living in these utopian societies you refer to. One wonders why you would move out of nirvana paradise to live back in the US. Now if you are only espousing the virtues of communist societies based on heresay and propoganda then you don't really no jack about communist states. While America is in a downward spiral I will gladly live here than communist countries all day, everyday and twice on Sundays. Now when I no longer have the freedom to call a politcal person a douche or criticize an ideology that I don't agree with then its time to rethink everything.
Cosmos I'm really starting to think you don't think of me as a friend, and to be frank I'm devastated.
I was just curious why you wouldn't prefer to live in those countires that you clearly find superior to the US in everyway? I mean why stay in a country you hate?
If I was somewhere that I found disgusting in everyway, like you seem to find the US (maybe you feel different and I'm wrong.) Then I would move to one of those countries I admire. What keeps you here in the states?
I like to take a bite out of crime. By the way hobos are notorious for stealing as they make their way across private property. Hope we dont cross paths looter.
You're so cute, don't stop being you ok?
You don't know!
Cosmos is a dude, you misogynist libtard! You can't tell a man from a woman? Bwahahahahaha
What if I knew he/she was man? you seem kinda cute, free later?
fail
Oh playing hard to get are we? well you can fail me anytime handsome.
Hey, Hobo... Fuck Off!
I'm sorry have I offended you? You seem angry about something, but I don't recall us having a conversation.
Hey asshole, you wouldn't know what a conversation was if it rose up and bit you in the ass! Again... Fuck off!
Once again I'm perplexed at your hostility, are you upset with something I said? Do you think the questions I asked Cosmos were unfair or out of line?
Or maybe it's just been a bad day and you're blowing off some steam by telling random people on ZH to "Fuck off"?
I understand, life can get us all down sometimes, but there are more constructive ways to deal with your anger than taking it out on innocent bystanders. I hope things start looking up for you, and all your dreams come true.
Guess you didnt talk to him before you looted from his property punk
I've never tried looting, and I'm not all that materialistic so I'll probably pass. I'm still curious though, why stay in the US if it's such a shitty place to live?
Love the Clint Eastwood mentality. What next "Go ahead make my day punk". Punk this and punk that.
Clint took a bite out of crime, you gotta problem with that, the founding fathers made sure guys like Clint will always be able to say make my day punk.
The founding fathers also had a thing for due process.
That happened when the thug tried to take the gun from the cop and kill him with it. He got due process.
Only in America indeed.
Tragic.
I do not think that term means what you think it means.
Didn't have a problem with Clint saying it as he was original and it was a fucking movie, not real life. You do know he really wasn't Dirty Harry right. Now if you are trying to state that Clint took a bite out of crime in Carmel, then you are not exactly informed about Carmel, CA. Love the Founding Fathers and hate that today's "intelligencia" are trying to undo what they did as if they know better than FF's. However, I don't think you are Clint Eastwood and your use of the word punk so many times is comical. The FF's made it possible for you to say ridiculous things and for that, freedom loving Americans are thankful, just as they made it possible for me to check you and or criticize government action whether it be corrupt or just simply because I want to or don't believe in what they doand find it hypocritical.
They didn't only give you the rights, but you seem to want to shut down and insult anyone that doesn't see the world as you do or agree with a your every word which comes off as a little fascist to me.
C'mon, man.
I love your avatar and will probably steal it to go to a local sporting event, because it seiously cracks me up whenever I see it, but you can't use that and get into a heavy conflict with it.
Try a more whimsical approach, something like, you know, Robin Williams.
Get the fuck outa here with that love it or leave it bullshit. That shit is just as bad as the racism.
The US is a fascist pain in the world's ass, but I'm not ready to give up on us returning to the way we were, which was a great country.
Love it or leave it is not my argument, but I've seen dozens of post from Cosmo that don't come across as constructive criticism, they come across as just flat out hatred.
I hate what the US has become, but I don't hate the US. I think with him/her it's the other way around.
You said 'love it or leave it.....'.....memories, memories.....
Well that's what heard in the late 60's early 70's when questioning the status quo.
Yepp, "Love it or Leave it!" & "If you don't like the way things are, 'Work within the System.' if you want to change things." I left in '78 & have been living in Scandinavia since '81. Best choice I ever made. This past year I've came across Paul Craig Roberts, Gerald Celente and Alex Jones saying the country is being lost/is lost. Guess my observations from wayback were right. 'The fish rots from the top'.
I share your view, "I hate what the US has become, but don't hate the US". God damn shame the leaders use the US Constitution for toilet papper.

You don't really know too much about the history of China and their view toward families having girls. But you are right, they would not be raped or killed by the people. The State on the other hand....well just keep dropping knowledge as it's comedy relief for a Saturday night.
Many little girls have not survived to be subjected to horrors but, their Chinese mums did get to watch their demise and the horror of their murder.
No way in hell I would ever move to China. Off the reservation with that one!
Shit, MO ain't that bad!

yah, I know what you mean. It's best when just any official is free to murder you cuz she's having a bad day. No repercussions and certainly no response from the other .gov murderers.
Just think of the fun. if I had a badge next time you walked by my house, I could just pump 10 rounds in you. You know just cuz I'm .gov.
and damn, china, really, you would be safe? lol. You got some good smoke tonight.
A shovel is easier to get & use than a badge, kpax.
COSMOS you are being a little naive. Guys who saw the horror of the one child policy cannot recover from the open death and abuse of pregnant women and their babies murdered prior and post birth.
You may choose to limit the case to a "preferred" evil.
Agree or disagree with these guys on the following web link but one cannot discount the horror of an ENFORCED one child policy. Do you think that policy was enforced with love?

These Americans are f'ed up for a reason. They've been a 'government' project since LBJ (sociopath) put them in the lab with the 'great society' project.
Easy enough to hate on them but the fact is these idiots became stupid by design.
They've got the same enemy we all have.
Human beings are rational about 1/6 of their waking time. Those are dogs, they don't reason. The way you deal with them is the same as you deal with a dog: You take charge with force. All they understand is force, and if they don't understand force they die and cease to be a problem.
Like Mike Brown. Arf!
So "kill the niggers"?
Fuck you.
These people are best referred to as 'urban primitives'.
Much like when West Germany assumed responibility for the poor shitferbrains useful idiot refugees who survived the Soviet clusterfuck, WE will need to assume some responsibility for these victims of government ownership as well.
Are they stupid?
Yes.
Are they also human beings who have essentially been caged and abused?
Yes.
I say again; we have a common enemy.
No. I kill unmanageable "white" dogs too. You're a fucking idiot. You don't know jack shit about what really happened in the fake history you were taught that you cite as fact. You commie stooge. You don't know anything. You weren't there.
You're the nigger.
So... you're saying that those who don't rean should be shot? And you throw out two posts in succession that demonstrate a complete lack of reason...
So... do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.
go back to jacking off and reading your cosmos
Listen punk I was in seventh grade and had a hood rat loot my locker in right in front of me and when I tried to stop him three other good rats jumped me from behind. There are many decent black folks and there are hood rats. Those people in Ferguson for the most part are hood rats. F them. They should of shot the lot while they were looting on day one. This crime spree will only get worse with no repercussions. Just like wall st.
yeah. Just like Wall St.
Shit, this is getting ridiculous. I didn't know ZH had a comedy section.
Do you feel lucky punk?
