    If nothing good to say
    SAY NOTHING
    :whistle:

    IMO
    99% of the situation is caused by news media hype

    Prob 90% of the people there had nothing better to then wait to riot. This whole event has pushed me farther into seclusion. They showed up with masks ready to riot. I'm sickened by it, and there actions really gave them a black eye!

    If you think this was the officers fault, then maybe you ought to do your own investigation. That officers life is ruined because some thug wanted to be as cnn calls it a knucklehead! Give me a break, I don't watch news often but this deal really struck a nerve. I hope they don't go whining say they are hungry and thirsty, they did it to themselves. Low life's!

    The protestors are claiming to be upset because a young black man was victimized yet they show their anger and frustration by attacking mostly black owned businesses in their community?

    I think it would be fair to call the ones committing the violence "troublemakers."

    Why do we a as a country allow such nonsense? I mean really, all of that rioting could have been prevented.

    Yup ... I've been reading more and more about the biz owners in Ferg, and how much they've lost. Painfully sad and stupid display.

    Heard the Washingotn politicians were urging the police to be restrained
    & let the protesteors vent their frustration. Be less confrontational.

    Seemed to work,
    they were able to burn & pillage with few consequences .

    I wouldn't expect any less from Waahington! I've never heard of any president take such an interest in racial cases like he has

    Had a good convo with another manager at work (who is a Hillary supporter) - we occasionally get off into politics which when its over and done he concedes to be a very conservative Democrat...
    Lets just say he has been hitting me up all day on how to council his 15yo daughter about retweeting/instagramming/forwarding or whatever about the "Hands up don't shoot" mantra.

    My genuine direction in the coaching:

    The entire narrative has been media contrived, as has been the case in the past few years... well probably longer than we can fathom, but this one if not Zimmerman/Martin should seal the deal.

    Tell your kids to learn from current events, without following the herd, read both sides(even the extremely biased POV against your beliefs)...I turned on Rush for a few chuckles about the "gentle giant" and read a Vox.com article and recommended he expose her to both as well as the real transcripts, even encouraged him to take tomorrow off to spend some quality time with his daughters.

    Bring in some truck loads of wood and some mauls and let them vent their anger out splitting wood and then in the end they end up with firewood they can burn and keep warm instead of burning down buildings , its just stupid
    that's all I got I'm out
