Ferguson crisis costs taxpayers $5.7M…so far

[Darnell 8,479]

How much does it cost us to rebuild countries after we invade them? And you are complaining about us cleaning up our own country? Can you imagine the country America could be if we spent more money at home enhancing our society, treating people equally and creating jobs instead of rebuilding Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan and any other country we dipped our Kool-Aid in?

Please compare the cost!

Can't we just burn Ferguson to the ground, instead, make it a 'no-tax, no-work, no-school' zone?

It's not that I want this, personally, but I have some heavy sense that no one , no group, no 'demographic' is gonna be happy regardless of the outcome - and I think this outcome is fast and cheap.

You are right. Then we can rebuild it, give the children there a nice decent school, good books, a nice community and stop taking money out of neighborhoods every time the population of black people rise above 1%.

Or we could just learn to treat everyone equally.

Or just plow it under, like Detroit.

I'd be in favor of sowing the soil with salt though.

That is what it will look like.

Looks like parts of Texas to me.

The day we treat everyone equally and poverty pimps stop interjecting race into everything, and blacks stop getting preferential treatment in quota's we will have made a giant stride forward.

As for Ferguson. When the facts come out completely, if it shows that Brown attacked him and tried to grab his gun, then I will be happy if the Officer is not charged.

If the facts come out and show this is not the case, I will be happy if he is charged.

Nothing is going to make the looters happy, unless he is charged and strung up, regardless of the facts. Many have already stated as much.

Nothing like discussing looting to avoid the topic at hand, racial discrimination.

How many white people will be probed, searched, humiliated and scared to leave their house after the pumpkin batch riot? None

How many will not get a job because of the pumpkin batch riot? None

No one will associate white people with the pumpkin batch problem or the or the Penn State Blarney riots and looting but all black people pay the price of another black person's problem even when it happened across the U.S.

Address these issues.

A month of looting and burning compared to a pumpkin patch riot by a bunch of drunk frat boys that lasted a few hours, and nothing was looted or burned. Really ?

You are right. Trashed cars and people's land don't matter as long as it is not for a good cause.

The blarney blowout has been happening for years. The police and the university has been trying to stop it for years.

Again, you have avoided my questions. You have a problem with steering off topic.

Central park ... around 1900.. Maybe 1910 +

It is pretty sad there are parts of Texas that still reflect the early 1900s. I guess black rioters in Ferguson did this.

As usual, avoiding real conversation and showing how little you know is your moto. It is charming.

Folks in Ferguson would never survive in that part of Texas. Even with all the help from Johnson's Great Society

They are not hard scrabble enough. You have to be born there .
