For anyone following those car fires: [url]http://fox2now.com/On-Air/Live-Streaming/[/url] here is the area before the fires: [URL]https://www.google.com/maps/place/10250+W+Florissant+Ave,+St+Louis,+MO+63136/@38.7552133,-90.2797107,105m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x87df49951b19c093:0x94a96040d5e749f2[/URL]
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;46568847][url]http://www.ustream.tv/channel/newsrevo?utm_campaign=JPER&utm_medium=FlashPlayer&utm_source=embed[/url] this stream is pretty good right now nvm. shop owner pulled out a 'gat' and scattered everyone[/QUOTE] Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a 'gat'? Do you mean a gun?
[QUOTE=Saigon;46569199]Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a 'gat'? Do you mean a gun?[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that's the street term for things like Uzis and rapid fire weapons. God now I sound like Fox News.
[QUOTE=Saigon;46569199]Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a 'gat'? Do you mean a gun?[/QUOTE] slang for gun.
[QUOTE=Saigon;46569199]Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a 'gat'? Do you mean a gun?[/QUOTE] No, a little Johnny Gat action figure.
[QUOTE=Saigon;46569199]Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is a 'gat'? Do you mean a gun?[/QUOTE] Ask the gentleman on the stream who said it. There were gunshots so I would assume yes.
[QUOTE=sgman91;46569187]You obviously didn't read the link at all because it clearly stated that economic conditions and service provided were controlled. A difference existed even when all other things were equal, even down to the color of the waiters skin.[/QUOTE] And that gives you the right to put black people in a secondary status? You know, black people have different hair. Maybe you should open a hair salon and refuse to service black patrons because it's more expensive for you to deal with their hair. I'll bring this back to law enforcement since we're pulling this shit way off-topic. Discrimination against black individuals in law enforcement is brutally obvious in the incarceration rate of black males. You're going to argue that there's another reason, probably some biotruthism, and you'll continue living in blissful ignorance that you openly and proudly discriminate against black individuals.
also i would have never expected somebody to be using gat in 2014. that's some 90s slang right there.
I love how all these "protesters" are consoling each other like they've been through a legitimate war. This is funny to watch, but oh so enraging at the same time... interesting to watch though... kinda...
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46569228]gat is still seeing a fair bit of use, but is quickly falling out and changing to piece these days[/QUOTE] Now it's called "Military-style assault weapon"
I'm really loving these lawyers on the rebel-z stream who obviously have absolutely zero concept of search & seizure law. My guess is they're either paralegals trying to get laid or lawyers totally not in any sort of criminal field.

It's just a giant stroke-fest in a coffee shop.
It's sad to see something that should really be a non-event turn into this. So many people have been hurt unnecessarily. And I don't mean to say that Brown's death is insignificant, but rather that this case would have been open and shut sans the controversy. People are saying that an officer got away with murder, but the reality is that witnesses have gotten away with perjury, and rioters are going to get away with all sorts of shit. So many people will never feel the shame that they should, simply because they can justify themselves with their own ignorance.

[QUOTE=.Isak.;46569218]And that gives you the right to put black people in a secondary status?[/QUOTE] I would ask the question: What gives black people the right to treat waiters worse than other people do?

[QUOTE=Robman8908;46569251]Or your average liars trying to sound smart around other liars trying to sound smart. It's just a giant stroke-fest in a coffee shop.[/QUOTE] Oh man, this guy claiming that him saying "de-escalate your aggression" made the cops leave, thinking it's some kind of magic passphrase... I think you hit the nail on the head on that one. Now he's talking about how his phone & data plan isn't cheap, but he said he was on T-Mobile... I'm on T-Mobile and pay $30/mo for practically unlimited data. Dude needs to get a real job if he can't afford that. Shit, I have a class at 8 am... don't think I'm going to be making that.
"IDK man, I went out and yelled 'de-escalate your aggression' several times and every timethey totally did" "IDK if there is a magic combination of words, but if it works it works" "I'm not saying it worked, but it totally fucking worked"
Well this is just a giant fucking mess we're all gonna forget about come the end of Winter. A mess that will cause more unneeded violence over confusion. Just like fucking Trayvon Martin. I'll be honest. for a while I just gave up on reading or hearing more about Ferguson. It's Trayvon Mark II. A confusing "cop shoots minority, wahh race debates" that only results in people getting angry and confused, lots of pointless violence, and it all just ends in a few months with no one giving a shit afterwards, and perpetrators of said violence going to jail. But I stopped here to see what the verdict was, and I wasn't surprised. Same outcome as the Trayvon case, same reactions immediately afterwards, probably same after effects, same slide into obscurity as before. Until another white guy shoots a random minority and we start this same shit. All over again.

[i]oh my fucking god here he goes with the hornet's nest again [b]jesus fuck[/b][/i] "We pay taxes, you answer to us, you must wear nametags to identify yourselves" omg stop i cant breathe
I just woke up to this and bloody hell its like the LA Riots again. I just hope the police can deal with it.

Crack cocaine would put you in prison for 100 times the amount of time that regular cocaine would until 4 years ago, and it still has 18 times the sentencing for a nearly identical drug. Guess which one is most often used by blacks? I can't help but think you have a text file filled to the brim with studies that fit your narrative that the negative aspects of black culture appeared from thin air and have absolutely nothing to do with racial discrimination and a long history of oppression and distance from culture. You're flat-out racist, and there's nothing to debate there. As for the hair bit, yeah, styling black hair can be pricier - that wasn't what my post said. I said refuse service. That's what you claimed you would do as a server - it's more efficient to not serve black customers. That's blatant, undeniable, disgustingly obvious racism. Thankfully, you're banned. Please take your day off to self-reflect on why you are so disgustingly set on spinning every conversation about black people in facepunch to some sort of pseudo-biotruthist bullshit. Culture is spawned from history - black people have been systematically oppressed in the US for decades, and you conveniently ignore that as often as you can to push your stilted view that poor black people are naturally less desirable than other poor people.

[QUOTE=Snowmew;46569301]I'm hoping the worst is over.[/QUOTE] To be honest, I don't. For some reason, I love to watch the world burn.
[QUOTE=Saigon;46569317]Thank you.[/QUOTE] Thanks to your post, the image of Big Boss having no idea what the word "gat" means and getting very confused as someone tries to explain it to him has made me giggle.
[QUOTE=Robman8908;46569323]To be honest, I don't. For some reason, I love to watch the world burn.[/QUOTE] Seriously. Let the stupid rioters kill themselves off. I can't stand them hurting others, damaging properties, breaking into homes and stores. They're idiots. They're fucking retarded, uneducated fuckwits.
care to share your 2 cents rodneyblack?
