TWO Cops Shot in Ferguson

[muggsy]

action news update---
they have 20 yr. old Jeffrey Williams held on $300K cash bail. right now he is the alleged shooter. supposedly was firing at people or just the crowd from a car, with some kind of .40 handgun from a block or so away(estimated at 125 yds.) 20 yr. old shooting from a car(probably holding the gun sideways?), sounds like the 2 cops that got the bullets were just in the wrong place.

That's Jeffrey's story and he's sticking to it.

I hate and loath Indian movies, they always have that goofy Bollywood dance and singing scene in the middle and then again at the end. when did American conservatives fall in love with Wogs? fear the Mexicans, love the curry eaters? ah, ya lost me there.

Ever watch the show Grease? Huge hit here and abroad. If not, please watch it. Then watch a Bollywood movie. Aside from the language difference and costumes, it is the same thing.

as any STL cop could testify, there are several things going on here. on any given day, there might be some small crowd of the uneducated and disillusioned in front of the Ferguson cop shop "protesting". zoom the cameras back for the regional view and see the 2 or 3 murders, 100's of robberies, 1000's of drug deals going on. with the big picture in mind it's not hard to see how events can spill over and get mixed together.
( a month or so ago, out in upper middle class whitey land, a movie theater was playing "Selma", the movie lets out and a car drives by the front and unloads 43 rounds, 8 of which went into a guy standing there. KKK conspiracy? Mafia hit? pissed off movie critic? actually what happened is that the guy with the 8 bullet holes had been set up to be standing there, this was a revenge killing by the family of a woman who had been shot by this guy-- ongoing little drug/turf wars. if you were in the theater lobby or out in front when that happened, sorry about that, nothing personal, business as usual, we crazy and we don't care......).
if you live in a 50/50 town, some might suggest you lower your expectations, raise your situational awareness and always keep a hand on your own gun and be ready for crazy.

LOL. Dude that's hilarious! I wonder if High School Musical (for those of you with teens) would fit that too.

Smart, sensible people don't make TV networks as much money.

for your perusal:
Interesting to note that his first language was Spanish and then French. Quite a life.

"Buckley was not without his eccentricity, when asked about provisioning a chartered yacht for a 30 day voyage from Hawaii to New Guinea, his only request was for 25 cases of vintage wine and unspecified quantities of peanut butter and Goo-Goo bars."
ah, hell yeah! hehehehe.
(save that youtube video link with Buckley and Chomsky for a rainy day, quality entertainment.)

Lefties do everything they can to keep intellectuals or people of influence on the right from speaking anywhere, and to keep anyone from being able to hear them when they do speak, then wonder why they don't hear from those people. Would be funny except its too bizarre.
