I know this topic has been done to death, but I thought this photo deserved an honorable mention.
Caption: A woman who identified herself only as Dawn causes a near riot walking down West Floressant Avenue with a sign of support for police officer Darren Wilson. She drew a crowd of protesters on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2014, in Ferguson. Police had to rescue the woman with an extraction vehicle and call in a SWAT team to disperse a crowd that began to grow out of control. CURTIS COMPTON / [email protected] |

At least somebody is trying to stand against the mongols. If I had the cash and the free time I'd go there just to stand next to her. Quoted:

Brave woman. stupid risk Waste of time.  At least somebody is trying to stand against the mongols. If I had the cash and the free time I'd go there just to stand next to her. standing there isn't going to do any good. you're not going to change minds in the mob. they need to have the national guard come in and shoot a few as they start to fling bricks. |

Quoted:
Brave woman. stupid risk No, it's a John Adams moment. If you recall, he defended the British Soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre at great peril to himself. 
It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, "whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection," and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever. |

Great quote. Too bad none of the rioters would understand. |

I am always amazed at the genius and forward looking qualities of the founding fathers. A couple of hundred years have passed but it is still appropriate today. Are my own thoughts so profound? |

Brave woman. stupid risk Waste of time. Yeah... She should stay home and talk about it on the internet. That is so much better use of time. She is taking a brave stand and I think that is awesome... If there were more people like her things might change. |

Quoted:
I wonder if a white man would have made it out of there alive. Is there even enough decency in that crowd to even care which gender it was? I know these people are idiots, but it would be a whole new world of stupid to kill an unarmed white woman in the street. |

This is my thought as well. I'm sitting here bitching at swingset about Hunger Games. What a waste my life has become. |

I know these people are idiots, but it would be a whole new world of stupid to kill an unarmed white woman in the street. She was being protected by police. In the other thread there was mention of people putting their hands on her and getting cuffed promptly. It would have not ended well for her had she nit been guarded. And I think animal is a more accurate term. |

Quoted:
The only dividing line between bravery and stupidity is whether or not you accomplish your goal except when you carry a sign that shows how stupid you are. ETA. I seem to be interpreting her sign differently than the article. It looks to me to be supporting the cop being prosecuted, but I guess I am wrong. |

Justice was served. Rob a store, get shot and killed the same day. 
You believe the correct level of "justice" for strong-arm robbery is death? Praise Allah! No, but the correct level of justice for fighting with a cop trying to take his gun, then attacking him for the second time is in fact death. Maybe you missed all that while you were watching CNN |

Maybe you missed all that while you were watching CNN I do agree that trying to take a cops gun = dead. I've never said this was a bad shoot. I didn't say it was a good shoot either. But MSC didn't say "Take a cop's gun, get shot and killed..." he said "Rob a store, get shot and killed..." R.I.F. |

If you extrapolate a bit, this seems prophetic. In a culture where going to school is looked down upon and violence is the means by which respect is derived, innocence itself really is condemned. |
