"According to the "Support Darren Wilson" page, another rally was set up over the weekend on a bridge that connects Illinois and Missouri. And in a recent post on the page, the group is preparing for another rally this week."

Lets hope peace and justice prevails. Lets hope those in positions of power, influence and leadership will save America from itself before it just implodes bit by bit, road by road, race by race, colour by colour, creed by creed and all the other crap that divides neighbour from neighbour. The barbed wire of me, me, me!

Mr President, America needs peace, justice and equality boots on the ground. America needs revival!

Peace and justice to all of goodwill

:mrgreen:

"Boots on the ground" is a horrible and dehumanizing term for PEOPLE put in harms way! (We can ad terms to the dictionary why can't we take them out too?)

If implosion is what is needed to move 'murica out of our bi-polar society, I'm for it. We will be stronger when we are all on the same page.

We are a country of haves filled with hate and fear vs have nots. It's far from over. Poverty causes way more problems than being wealthy.

The tongue is mightier than the pen sometimes and "Boots on the ground" sounds softer than the blood, sweat and courage of our children on the ground of bloody war. Saying, "Bare feet on the ground" out loud becomes a fact of life in this world of hatred and destruction. Yet, if we all decided to be on the same page I wonder which Book we would all belong too? America cannot save itself, how can it save the world?
(And then there's volcanoes, earthquakes and Ebola rumbling, shaking and a spreading like wild fires but what's all the fuss about when we danced on the Moon????!!)

We all need to sing and dance together even if it's only in our mind's eye. Even if it's only in Black and white for a start - it's still a start.

And stuff the begrudgers! Let them figure it out themselves.

Hugs and love with peace and goodwill - Lets sing and dance!!!

The story goes on and the riots as forecasted. Bring in the Feds. Bring in Truth & Justice. Move on in togetherness and equality. Mabye 'Rome' should be remembered before its too late to change the future for the US?

The reaction to this tragic event is absolutely ridiculous.

People burning buildings and cars and shit...idiots?

They have just set racial tolerance back 40 years. White racists can point at them and say "look proof, black people are crazy and dangerous"! You can't argue with them (those racists)?

stupid, incredibly stupid

I agree. Those folks did the racists a favour but hopefully something much better will arise from the ashes of (any excuse) wanton destruction - Peace with justice bringing all folks of goodwill together in spirit and deed.

Peaceful Thanksgiving to all of goodwill no matter colour, class, creed, gender, etc etc.

i am curious to know if the looters in ferguson were actually from ferguson, or if they were burning down someone else's town?

Looters are looters. Loosers are Loosers. The law is the Law.

Thanks for clarifying that Agnes but you seem to have gotten the wrong end of your own stick, perhaps? Who knows where they came but I'm sure the law will catch up on some of them, somewhere, someplace. Black or white the law is the law for the lawless in every walk of life - or is it?

Have a peaceful and joyfull Thanksgiving ye all (and have a care for the nation of turkeys being gobbled up!)

Wrong end of the stick again. I liked the wee pussy cat clip. I understood re 'looters' and 'little outbursts' me oh my....I'm still trying to figue out the relevance of the clip to this black and white topic. Seems just like the interpretation of Law in the US is made up of fifty shades of grey we get lost in just as many shades of translational sense in relation to the communication of simple comments? Maybe what we got here is the fifty-first shade of grey matter?

Give yourself a big hug Agnes and hope you enjoy the holiday there :)
