Mr. NikNik, you are quite correct in what you've written. I spent a large portion of my career working intelligence and I know from what I've been hearing from colleagues for the last month or two exactly what would happen. What we're seeing protesting now are the far left fring groups...that have nothing to do with the Black community or the Michael Brown case. Everyone in law enforcement was aware that these groups would cause problems whether and indictment was handed down or not. There is a national conspiracy of sorts going on with these groups, but it goes much much deeper than you might expect. I can only say that the line between being the lunatic fringe and being an agent for unfriendly foriegn country is getting very thin these days. That's why there were so damn many Feds deployed near Ferguson and in other major American cities.

The progressive movement is embolden by a progressive being in the White House.

They had a march in London in 'support' last night, 200 middle-class University students and a few Anti-Globalisation 'anarchists' (Yobbo's) shouting 'Don't shoot' at the unarmed UK police.
It was laughably cringeworthy. The police were totally polite, didn't get excited, kettled em for 20 mins and then sent em home in 1's and 2's. Only person who got shouty was an American.

If you watch the demonstrations (especially here in Los Angeles) you'll notice a striking absence of Black folks. At least 80+% are either White or Hispanic, middle class, early twenty aged kids and look more like Occupy Movement dirtbags, Anarchists, nuveo 1960's unwashed hippies, and Communists. They all have that malcontent zany radical look about them...but they're not Black and have absolutely no stake in the Michael Brown case. LAPD's arrest statistics are very interesting...320 arrested since the grand jury verdict, arrestee race breakdown is 55% Latino, 40% White, 4% Black, 1% Other. Interesting breakdown isn't it? So where's the outrage in the local LA Black community? I lived through and worked the 1996 LA Riots and this is a complete joke in comparison. No justice no peace my ass.

I've read more than a few articles connecting the occupy movement in these protest. Not to mention they are for the same thing. Tear down the establishment.

Keep digging...you're only touching the tip of the iceberg. Look at what you're not seeing (or reading). I can't/won't tell what I know, but the information is out there you just have to find what's missing.

I'd expect them to be rude and confrontational, thats what they are. But they were playing nice last night.

Here you go again, with your stupid comparisons. It's not as dumb as your comparison to protest being a civil war but it's damn close.

How do you think these protest get carried out in 30 or more cities? With the help of progressive organizations. The entire movement we're witnessing carries the same messages as progressive organizations.

Comparing this movement to sports fans

Obviously you didn't see what I was trying to point out to you..

She was pointing how it's the social wastes looting with this as an excuse, similar to when Vancouver lost the cup and they did the same. Somehow you want to embody any progressive movements with the social wastes. The two things are not the same, hence why YOU obviously didn't get her point. Not to mention I wasn't the one comparing it to sports fans in the first place.

My comparison to the civil war? You sure it wasn't a joke?

Rag tag groups of 100 people organizing across the country in different cities protesting isn't even close to a "movement". Quite a piss poor showing for the progressive groups eh?
