Ferguson thugs promise mass violence if Officer Darren Wilson is not charged. “Prepared to die on the streets”
It looks like things might be heating up again in Ferguson, Missouri, as protesters and thugs threaten mass violence in the city if Officer Darren Wilson isn’t charged for the shooting death of Michael Brown.
From The Federalist Papers:
Organizers of demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, promised to intensify their protests over the killing of Michael Brown if the officer who shot him does not face criminal charges, warning police that they are prepared to die on the streets for their cause.
Three prominent members of the protest movement that sprung up after the deadly police shooting of Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old, told a rally in New York on Tuesday night that there would be a fierce backlash if a grand jury declined to indict officer Darren Wilson.
“If they can’t serve justice in this, the people have every right to go out and express their rage in a manner that is equal to what we have suffered,” said Ashley Yates, a co-founder of Millennial Activists United, who was arrested last week while protesting in Ferguson.
Yates spoke alongside Tef Poe and Tory Russell, activists for Hands Up United and the Organisation for Black Struggle, hours after it emerged that authorities in Missouri were making plans to deal with potential riots in the event of Wilson avoiding prosecution.
“We’re going to take our anger out on the people who have failed us, and if they are prepared to deal with that, then let them have at it,” said Yates. Poe said that while people in America often expected “casual revolution”, Ferguson may be “the moment when we can’t do that”.
Ferguson officials aren’t taking the threats lightly, as they’re preparing evacuation plans for residents should violence break out in the streets.
It’s sad the people of Ferguson have to live in fear of these race baiting thugs, praying for a man to be charged with a crime, whether or not he is guilty, just to feel safe. Much of the violence and emotionally charged rhetoric being spewed out by these protesters has been fueled by people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, men who make their living by stirring up tension and racial division.
This isn’t something that should be about race, but about right and wrong. A fair and objective investigation needs to be conducted to gather the facts and determine if what was done was a crime or not. It’s impossible to do that with all of the trumped up racial tension and violence going on. Hopefully, regardless of whether Officer Wilson is charged or not, cooler heads will prevail, and the citizens of Ferguson won’t be forced to endure more rioting and looting.
