The grand juries’ determinations to return non-indictments in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases have shaken the faith of some in the integrity of the grand jury system and in the law more generally. For some law students, particularly, though not only, students of color, this chain of events is all the more profound as it threatens to undermine a sense that the law is a fundamental pillar of society designed to protect fairness, due process and equality.
For these reasons, after consultation with students in the law school and with colleagues on the law faculty and in the administration, I am taking the following steps to assure our responsiveness and involvement in this particular moment:(more…)
..“When you deal with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society you have to realize that it’s going to take some time and you just have to be steady”….
BINGO – AS EXPECTED – Mike Brown and Eric Garner as tools: – President Obama wants, and needs, to make the case that the deaths of these men were not isolated occurrences, but part of a larger pattern in which law enforcement officers were hostile to the human rights of African Americans; ergo a pattern that is rooted in hundreds of years of similar hostility including centuries of slavery.
So his argument is that not only individual agents of American law enforcement but the larger American legal system is white supremacist. There’s a reason for this: (more…)
The perpetually disgruntled must not have families.
Why do I say that? Because they spent all of Thanksgiving in Ferguson Missouri doing their silly Stompy Dance, and never left, yet they didn’t live there. They must not have families, or at least any family that wants their association. But you can’t really blame their families though, would you want a house filled with constant grouches? Exhausting.
Now, I guess, they’re moving on up. Apparently they’ve moved the unwashed drum circle and grievance committee to New York City. Travel expenses courtesy of donations?
These people are genuinely in a perpetual state of joylessness.

Good article in the Washington Free Beacon today outlining the need of false narratives to advance an ideology that doesn’t exist in reality. This is essentially something we’ve talked about extensively here, and when you follow the trail you find out “why” the Ryan Julison’s of the world need to create hoaxes. (Via Washington Free Beacon) Talk about a dramatic entrance. When the St. Louis Rams took the field last Sunday, several teammates raised their hands, palms out. It was an act of solidarity with Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager killed last August in a struggle with a white police officer. Moments before his demise, it is said, Brown raised his hands and pleaded: “Don’t shoot.”
Since then “hands up, don’t shoot” has become the rallying cry of protesters and rioters furious that the officer, Darren Wilson, was not indicted by a grand jury. There is just one problem: It is not clear that Brown put his hands up. Nor is it certain that he said, “Don’t shoot.” On the contrary, the evidence released by the grand jury suggests that the fatal incident began when Brown assaulted Wilson. (more…)
UPDATE: Suspect Mugshot and Named – A $1 million cash bail has been set for the man accused of stabbing four people on an Amtrak train leaving Chicago Friday, according to the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department. Michael Darnell Williams, 44, was booked on Saturday on preliminary charges of assault with intent to murder four times. (read more) Meanwhile the MSM goes into overdrive to avoid the obvious… Previously:
Now:NILES, Mi. (WJBK) – Police in southwestern Michigan confirm that multiple people have been stabbed on board an Amtrak train that was heading for Port Huron.
The attack occurred at about 7 p.m., while the train, No. 364, was parked at a station located at N 6th Street and Pokagon. (more…)
After Mike Brown’s Step-Dad, Louis Head, screamed “burn this bitch down”, the surrounding crowd did just that. Ferguson Missouri erupted in arsonist flames and riots.
Now, explosive new video of the events leading up to the Ferguson riots shows Mr. Head pre-planning the clarion call. It was not, as his advocates and apologists have claimed, a poor display of spontaneous emotion.
Mr. Head is bottom of screen, center/left:
@00:16 …”no, if I get up there, I’m going to start a riot”…
In the aftermath of the violence, looting and arson, Saint Louis authorities stated they were looking into potential criminal charges against Mr. Head which might include “incitement to riot”.
Despite both Mike Brown’s mom, Lesley McSpadden, and Step-Dad Louis Head, having prior knowledge of the grand jury decision:
…”Brown’s family attorneys received a call from McCulloch shortly before the announcement that there would be no charges against the officer. Crump took the call and delivered the news to Brown’s family in an area hotel”…
… the sympathetic media, the members of the Mike Brown family, and the overwhelming majority of the professional grievance class, dismissed potential criminal charges and even attacked law enforcement for proposing such an insensitive position. (more…)
WASHINGTON DC – […] The Obama administration is asking Rep. Darrell Issa not to put its senior Medicare official next to the now infamous Obamacare “architect” when both testify on Capitol Hill next Tuesday.
But it’s very clear that Issa, in one of his last investigative hearings as chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wants to put Obamacare in a harsh spotlight by pairing Gruber with Marilyn Tavenner of CMS. They’ll be speaking about separate Obamacare issues — and the administration wants Issa to seat them separately, too. (more…)
Anyone else noticing how determined the black grievance industry is to manufacture some political benefit out of their own created crisis? The professional BGI generally always push the divisive racial angle; however, even for them the sheer scope of the hate-filled antagonism is infinitely larger than all prior efforts?
WASHINGTON DC – Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) are talking about inviting the families of Eric Garner and Michael Brown to President Obama’s State of the Union address in Washington next month.
The lawmakers, who have universally condemned the justice system’s response to the killings of the two black men at the hands of white police officers, say the presence of the two men’s relatives would send a strong signal that Washington policymakers are serious about tackling criminal justice reform head on.

In the same Saint Louis neighborhood where white Bosnian Seldin Dranovic was beaten by three teens wielding hammers; in the same Saint Louis neighborhood where an hour later white Bosnian Zemir Begic was brutally murdered by the same black thugs after they chanted “eff white people“… ….Now a 26-year-old white Bosnian woman is dragged from her car early this morning by another three black thugs carrying a gun and crowbar. She was pulled from her car, thrown to the ground, kicked and beaten.
The police finally call it what it is a “Hate Crime” – from the Police Report:
Location: 4600 block of Lansdowne Date/Time: 12/5/14 @ 05:25 Victim: 26-year old white female Suspect(s): Three unknown black males, late teens-early 20s
Liberal Indoctrination generates gleeful exhibition of hatred – A police officer remains in critical condition as a result of a Denver High School student #Ferguson protest walkout. Four officers responded to students marching down the street, as the officers tried to protect the students from traffic a motorist slammed into the police. One officer was horrifically injured as his body was run over and dragged by a vehicle. Details now surface of the protesting students cheering the injury and chanting “hit him again, hit him again” while marching around the fallen officers. (video included below) DENVER – The Denver police union says some East High School students cheered and chanted “hit him again” when a driver struck four bicycle officers escorting hundreds of students marching in the street Wednesday to protest the Ferguson grand jury decision.
One officer was critically injured, three others were treated and released.
“These actions are not only reprehensible but quite possibly the most disturbing thing this Association has ever heard,” the Denver Police Protective Association said in one of two statements issued Thursday. (more…)
