St. Louis County Justice Center On Lockdown, Besieged By Protesters

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The angry mobs have assembled early today, with KTVI reporting that moments ago the Justice Center in Clayton, MO has been put on lockdown. The reason: a flash mob has just appeared outside. We understand their anger, but what we don't get is why don't they just buy stocks instead: wouldn't the protesters rather be wealthy than furious and screaming? Plus, it's not as if there is any risk in buying stocks.

Stand clear! Don man a-talk
You can't stand where I stand, you can't walk where I walk
Watch out! We run New York
Police man come, we bust him out the park
I know this for a fact, you don't like how I act
You claim I'm sellin' crack
But you be doin' that
I'd rather say "see ya"
Cause I would never be ya
Be a officer? You WICKED overseer!
Ya hotshot, wanna get props and be a saviour
First show a little respect, change your behavior
Change your attitude, change your plan
There could never really be justice on stolen land
Are you really for peace and equality?
Or when my car is hooked up, you know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal
Cause you won't even think about lookin' at the real criminal
This has got to cease
Cause we be getting HYPED to the sound of da police!

I grew up less than 3 miles from where Mr. Brown's life ended prematurely.  The lady living in the house at the end of my block was kidnapped at gunpoint and her house set on fire by her boyfriend.  My parents next door neighbor had a daughter who was "dating" a gang member and when they got into an argument he firebombed their house, almost burnt it down.  North County has become a hellhole over the last 20-30 years, it will be one of the places where the riots begin when TSHTF.  It was a nice place to live when I was a kid, but urban decay, white flight and miles of cheaply built crappy homes have attracted the poor and uneducated.  Most people have no business driving through Ferguson these days, hell both Normandy school district and Riverview Gardens have lost their accreditation.  There are problems there that are too big to fix.

First it was 'Occupy Wall Street' with the Democrats trying to incite riots against all the banks and investment firms.

Now in Ferguson, Missouri the Democrats are trying to incite riots yet again against all the security guards who guard the banks and investment firms by pretending they're protesting a shooting of a drugged up criminal by the local police.

This new protest movement should be dubbed 'Occupy Lard Street' since the only place left for all these protesters to camp out without anyone noticing the stench of their unwashed bodies is the ghetto where bathing is considered a spring ritual and not a daily occurrence.

The State has been piling up dry tinder for years and years in the form of brutality and imprisonment for crimes against political correctness (ie: the WoD.) It's pointless to argue about the relative justification of the guy who lets the ember fall.

How many successive generations of blacks have grown up without fathers thanks to stupid, non-threatening plant derivatives? Are we really going to act shocked that they have no discipline and no hope?

The number of blacks in US concentration camps based on victimless non-crimes against political correctness numbers in the hundreds of thousands.

Mere drug use or drug possession is a political crime only, lacking a victim of any kind.

I'm sick of the psuedoconservative drug warriors trying to justify the widespread incarceration of blacks (and, of course, others) in rape cages due to drug crimes. It boggles the fucking mind, and at Zero Hedge more than anywhere. I thought we were supposed to be the owners of our own bodies and not to beg a Nanny State to tell us what we can and can't put in it, like they keep going after sugar and salt?

1. Many illegal drug users are self-medicating and can't afford or don't trust the medical cartel and are only incarcerated to keep that cartel getting its cut.

2. Even if drugs are used recreationally, so fucking what? So is alcohol and now, in states where it's legal, weed.

If you go to jail because you were buying, selling, possessing, or using any kind of chemical or food, and you were not harming another person's property, it is nothing but a political crime and you are a political prisoner.

".and to think at one point all aforemtioned vices were illeagal in all jurisdictions.kinda like war."

BS. Read your history.

"When powerful businesses don’t like something, they can usually get something done about it. The 1937 criminalization of marijuana is a case where this manipulation is obvious, according to Herer. Hemp threatens certain powerful businesses today, just as it did in 1937.

As the methods for processing hemp into paper and plastics were becoming more readily available and affordable, business leaders including William Randolph Hearst and DuPont stood to lose fortunes. They did everything in their power to have it outlawed. Luckily for Hearst, he was the owner of a chain of newspapers. DuPont’s chief financial backer Andrew Mellon (also the Secretary of the Treasury during President Hoover) was responsible for appointing Harry J. Anslinger, in 1931 as the head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs."

"A very interesting piece of that history is that only two days before the 1937 marijuana hearings, the American Medical Association (AMA) had just realized that the plant that Congress intended to outlaw was known medically as cannabis, which from 1850 to 1937 had been recorded as being the prime medicine for more than 100 different types of illnesses or diseases in the US pharmacopoeia. Dr James Woodward, who besides being a physician was also an attorney, testified that there wasn’t any real evidence being used to justify the new law and that the whole reason the AMA hadn’t come out against the law sooner was that “marijuana,” the new name given to cannabis by Hearst papers, was always described as a “killer weed from Mexico.”

Dr Woodward and the AMA were quickly denounced by Anslinger and eventually, after more than 3,000 AMA doctors were prosecuted by Anslinger for illegal prescriptions, the AMA came around to “support” Anslinger’s views on marijuana."

Drugs are a health and social problem, not a criminal problem.

They need to make it criminal because it is the only way to tax the poor. We know where the revenue goes. It is collected by proxies and rounded up in Mexico and other similar locations. The paper note cash it accumulates is gold to the CIA or DEA or whoever needs it. It also creates demand for the jails and weapons industries. Revolving door.

St Louis is heavily "Latinoized" and putting pressure on the Black community, the Mexican gangsters are looking forward to doing to St Louis what they did to LA during the Rodney King Riots.

When will Civil War II actually erupt? There is no scientific formula or mathematical equation that will give us the date. Instead, we must turn our attention to the demographic forces propelling us toward Civil War II, our ongoing transformation from a stable monoethnic nation into an unstable multiethnic empire. Not all history can be explained by this single engine of demographic transformation. Other factors can and do decide the boundaries and fates of empires and nations. However, the concept of nationality has been the dominate historical factor, at least since the industrial revolution. The more monoethnic a nation is, the less chance a secondary tribe will break off and form a new nation, or unite with their co-ethnics in an adjacent nation. The more monoethnic a nation is, the less likely a neighboring country will try to carve off a slice inhabited by its co- ethnics as Nazi Germany seized the Sudentenland of Czechoslovakia. The more monoethnic a nation is, the more likely its citizens will unite and fight foreign invaders, thus again increasing the chances of territorial integrity.

Don't see there ever being a Civil War 2. People in American would have to stand for something first, and they don't stand for anything. Now you can blame that on the education system, or the media system, or the justice system, or the fluoridation in the water system, but them's the facts.

Heck, from what I see of America waddling around in the shopping center parking lots, I don't think American can get off the couch.
