    Thank goodness the weather was so damn cold last night--29 degrees, or Chicago would be burned to the ground by now. Black Lives Matter, but not when it's cold outside, or when it is black-on-black killings.

    The protesters can be commended for conducting their assembly peacefully.

    Why would they riot last night? The cop was charged with murder which I would think satisfies the community's desire for justice. Btw if it's not too cold for a protest it's not too cold for a riot.

    Lol, I just realized you meant 29 degrees and not -29. 29 in Chicago is nothing. They'll go outside and work on their tans when it's that mild in November.

    The only take-away from this issue, is that it is unacceptable and illegal (obviously) for a white person to kill a black person, but acceptable for a black person to kill a black person. It matters not if the perpetrator is a cop. To the racially motivated masses, former warrants protest and violence (weather permitting), while the latter is ignored (regardless of freezing temps).

    Give it time, besides the shopping season hasn't started yet.

    I watched a little of it on TV. It looked like there almost as many whites protesting as blacks. Whites tolerate the cold better (they are also totally brainwashed and ill informed.) . If would have been hot, the blacks would have been out en mass. They go crazy in the heat, which is why there are so many black-on-black killings during the summer.

    MOD EDIT - Rule 3 would confirm your contention regarding weather and shooting/homicide numbers. The July 4th holiday is usually the most deadly of the year and the majority of murders occur in warmer weather.

    Especially since seeing the video, it doesn't make much sense for it to take so long, they got the issue on this one. I guess they thought he was a professional knife thrower from the Magnificent Seven. I still have my first throwing knife, clean sharp and more than 40 years old, but damn...It isn't that easy.

    You call that pathetic march last night a protest? One hundred and fifty people?
    It is better than the protest by whites over the senseless, cold-blooded murder of a pregnant woman in Indiana though. The White Lives Matter movement hasn't materialized yet even though their are hundreds of black-on-white murders every year, and thousands of black-on-white rapes every year. But the whites sit on their hands, and watch their way-over-paid black heroes play the sporting games they used to play. And then they wonder why their culture is disappearing.

    There is the possibility that the cop thought the crazed kid had a gun. When the kid is on the ground, it looks like he tries to reach into his coat for something. Maybe he was just holding a bullet hole wound. Considering how many violent, horrendous crimes blacks commit--like the recent murder of the pregnant white women and the old man in Detroit, it is probably better safe than sorry.

    I apologize, yes it is a culture of political correctness. Thus a person can't say what they believe, in short, freedom of speech is gone.

    what would they riot, he was charged, it's in the jury's hands now

    - - - Updated - - -

    I hope the criminals do not try to use this as a excuse to loot, cause then some will of course try to blame it on the protestors....

    but your right, it could still happen

    History shows us that when black people don't get the verdict they want, innocent people pay. Buildings burn, small businesses burned and ruined, stores looted, assaults...etc.

    I hope the jury does the right thing or Chicago will be the next victim.

    Chicago is already the victim. SOP for Dem mayors is to throw the PD under the bus, just like they did in B-more. And we know what happened when the idiotic mayor and DA did just that in Baltimore. The homicide rate went through the roof. Typical liberal thinking.

    But the Dems will beat that playbook to death in the process. Chicago is already beginning the downward plunge that will made Detroit a third world cesspool. It's beginning to lose population, the number of Whites, necessary for a thriving community is plunging and it can no longer service its debt. Already the homicide rate is poised to break the 500 mark for the year. Liberalism at its best.

    Charged doesn't mean convicted, as has been shown numerous times in the recent past...

    These people gather to mourn the dead, in part, and also to try and gain some awareness on the nature of the death.

    At some point someone with a suicide vest is going to be allowed to walk into a crowd because the police are too scared to confront someone acting strange.

    And really, who wants to get cut trying to be gentle with the Walking Dead?

    Under such conditions the police should just draw their pay and eat donuts, and twit tweet a #droptheknife, like basically no red-line, just let the guy with the knife go wherever he wants, and tell others to twit tweet #droptheknife if they have a problem, because he will most likely kill his own.

    During the protest last night in Chicago, BLM organizers were calling for Black Only space at an intersection. Wtf is that? Fight racism with racism? Idiots. They are literally offending would be allies. That's blacktarded.

    They haven't, at least not yet. There is a very watchful eye on the internet. The Patriot Act enables our government to detain an American citizen indefinitely, without due process. No lawyer or representative, not even a hearing(court). So I am sure that if a person was to interfere with the president's agenda, they would just label them a terrorist and detain them. And there is nothing that person could do. I am sure this has already happened to people, possibly even by the former president Bush. Who is the one responsible for the law. Of course any president after him that does not change it, is also responsible. This just goes to show that my theory, that republican's and democrat's in the White House are on the same side. While they put on a show for us, I can guarantee that Bush and Obama have the same agenda, and are on the same side. They both openly want a New World Order.

    I am currently researching what is called the Patriot Act Extension. Which is Obama's more enhanced Patriot Act. It is to enhance better surveillance and safeguard oversight. Pretty much allows for any current, and maybe future president to be a dictator.

    still didn't stop violence in chicago... not related to the protest, just the normal every night violence irregardless of weather...

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-shootings-20151125-story.html

    1 dead 4 shot... funny how black lives matter, except every night in chicago they kill each other... only when someone else can be blamed do they matter...

    black lives matter, when non-blacks kill them... just doesn't have a catchy ring to it you know... so they shortened it up...

    I wonder how many news stations will report the violence in chicago every night, unrelated to protests, or business as usual? why don't they go march their protests to every single scene and every single shooting that happens, to really shed light on what the REAL problem is... rather than pick less than 1% to complain about... as if complaining about less than 1% of the issue, will solve the other 99% of the problem which is what we really need to address... anyhow I'm uselessly ranting nobody cares...
