Justice in Ferguson

Here's a pretty sobering perspective on the lawlessness in Ferguson,Mo.
A perspective that will fall on deaf ears.

Justice Was Served in Ferguson—This Isn’t Jim Crow America
“Civil rights” figures decided long ago that the only fair outcome would be indictment. But that was driven by ideology, not facts. 
The day of reckoning has arrived not just in Ferguson, Missouri but also across America. For some, the grand jury proceedings to determine whether the shooting of a black teenager by a white police officer was justified was never about seeking justice. As widely anticipated in the media, the jury of nine whites and three blacks elected not to indict based on the evidence before them. Sadly, hundreds if not thousands of individuals descended upon this small St. Louis suburb to agitate for an outcome based on their ideology rather than the facts under consideration by the grand jury. 
Even though the grand jury elected not to find Officer Darren Wilson responsible for the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown, I sadly never believed that the gathering protesters gathered in Ferguson were seeking justice or a peaceful resolution to the case, which has roiled race relations in America to levels I haven’t seen in decades.~snip~
I think it's fairly plain for everyone to see that the violence and destruction of property was instigated by the professional agitators advancing their own agenda without giving one wit for "social justice".

Jesse to the Rescue!!!

While Obama calls for peace and calm in Ferguson,MO. race hustlers Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson run to the town to shake the racial tree and see what kind of violence they can rattle out of it.

Rev. Jesse Jackson: Like a ‘state execution’
Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson on Friday likened the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a Ferguson police officer to a “state execution.”

“[H]ow many times was he shot?” Jackson asked on MSNBC, in a series of rhetorical questions about Brown. “And where was he shot? And why was he lying in the street for several hours? That was kind of a state execution.”

He went on to link Brown’s killing with other incidents of unarmed black men killed by police, including 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida in 2012 and 22-year-old Oscar Grant in California in 2009. “There’s a pattern of this behavior.”~snip~
Like that kind of rhetoric is really going to calm things down.
Others have said it better than I could but I'm wondering where all the outrage is concerning the youth being gunned down by each other in major cities like Chicago,New York and even Washington,DC?
You don't see reverends Al and Jesse racing to those areas and firing off provocative rhetoric about those deaths.
I think that it's mostly because it would be harder for them to shake down those cities as opposed to smaller police departments in fly over country.
They're going for perception as opposed to solving problems. These communities need to turn their backs on these two professional provocateurs and tell then to pound sand so they can work out their own problems.
