Looks like they had another night of ugliness.  People were driving in from other parts of town to get in on the looting, per the St. Louis mayor.

And the FAA apparently declared a no fly zone above Ferguson.  Meowtf?

The airport is really close, and planes come in very low over that area.  They probably want it clear for helicopters.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That must be for the close air support.  There must be a local MOVE chapter thereabouts.   :lol:

Another bad night.  *Another* police shooting, say the headlines.  This dude was armed, but it's still a police shooting so that's all you need to put in the headline. Also more rioting & stuff.  All wig shops in the area have been looted (I'm not kidding-- I read that yesterday).  Thankfully Rev. Al is there to fan the flames.

Oh, and some woman got shot in the head in a drive-by, but no cops were involved so that's not really a big deal.

LOL, dercreepyasscracker.

Maybe the cops'll shoot some Catholic blacks that are on whore pills, and score you a hate trick.

An attempt to promote moderate, intelligent, non-hyperbolic conversation about how minorities are portrayed in the media and how that affects perceptions of that minority? :o

How about not living the stereotype?

So if I were to participate by taking a photo of myself flipping the camera off with a 40 in my lap and then a picture of my graduation day from college - would I be "living the stereotype?"
