    Default Milwaukee Going Through Ferguson?

    I got online at 4am, found Milwaukee had riots-my newly married niece lives in Milwaukee. Waiting to hear via return text.

    My cousin in LA went to bed at 10pm with dry neighborhood, her husband woke at 2am, to find the water had gone over half their yard, could no longer see in ground pool. They are evacuating-it's raining still.

    Niece just texted, she lives in the downtown, pretty far from the area where the riots were. They are watching what news there is and adjusting where they go. (Both bike and run through the city.) She feels they are safe.

    They didn't send in firemen because of bullets flying:

    WATCH: Crowd burns down BP Gas station with employees trapped inside

    Armored vehicle used to rescue employees

    4 hours ago

    Video shows some extremely scary moments for the employees of a BP Gas station as a crowd of demonstrators descended on the business during Saturday night's unrest on the north side of Milwaukee.

    TODAY'S TMJ4'S Rebecca Klopf spoke with an eyewitness who recorded the situation at Sherman and Burleigh.

    The man says people were upset and throwing rocks at police officers when they decided to turn their attention to the gas station.

    Three employees were trapped inside the gas station as a couple of people tried to knock out the bulletproof glass.

    The crowd then set the gas station on fire. Police brought in an armored vehicle to get the employees out. They were not harmed in the incident.

    The fire department didn't immediately respond because of reports of gunfire.

    According to the eyewitness, who asked to remain anonymous, the demonstrators then turned their attention to the street, knocking out glass from bus shelters and moving to other areas of the neighborhood.

    The gas station has been targeted for demonstrations in recent weeks after an employee fired a gun in the air after an issue with a juvenile customer.

    THAT THEY DID NOT SEND IN SWAT AND START SHOOTING THE BASTARDS TRYING TO BURN THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE ALIVE TELLS ALL WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE OBAMA DICTATORIAL REGIME, ITS INFLUENCE, EDICTS, COMMANDS AND TYRANNY.
    Sure one may say that is city responsibility but truth is that its well known (obama and his Federal government mandates issued to police departments under the obama) -- demand, to let the black people revolt , burn and destroy but under no circumstances shoot them as that would end the chaos/instability that the muslim/socialist obama wants in this nation.

    Setting the stage for massive nationwide organized riots should Hillary lose the election and Trump win..
    That way -the obama can declare martial law and only he can end it.. which he wouldn''t..
    Just as my friend Gaffer and I discussed so often in our emails.
    There is a damn good reason why Gaffer referenced the bastard obama as the Darklord..

    America had best wake up to the absolute control they've put into that traitor's hands methinks.
    Once martial law is declared by the President-only he can un-declare it..

    Anybody that thinks that is not a real possibility just hasnt been paying attention to the deep hatred obama, his piece of shit wife and the dem party leadership has for this nation as it was founded IMHO..

    Kat, I am glad your family is ok my friend....

    Not to take anything away from Tyr's post above, but I have to
    shake my head in sorrow and wonder just what the F*** is wrong with people.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    I live 1/2 mile from where this happened. Milwaukee is the most segregated major city in the US. The shooting was just the straw that broke the camels back. These people live in a different world. A world that is easy to judge until you spend significant time in it.

    That may well be, but those politicians that were somewhat fueling unrest, would better spend their time addressing the problems. The reaction of the mobs hurts only those with businesses that are employing and providing services to those in those same neighborhoods.

    EASY TO JUDGE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LAY BLAME WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS.......
    MY ANCESTORS WERE NATIVE AMERICANS PETEY, WHY THE HELL AREN'T I OUT PROTESTING SINCE THEY GOT TREATED WORSE THAN BLACKS?

    No sir, your comment hints at we that see clearly a group of people, demanding free stuff, special privileges and our bowing down to their black culture, violence, lust-filled urges and insanity.

    They are easy to judge if one is not already (for whatever reason) committed to kissing their asses and proving white guilt..
    As are the lousy dem/libs and PC enslaved ffing morons!

    SOBS RIOTING, BURNING BUILDINGS, SHOOTING INNOCENT WHITE PEOPLE ,URGING KILL WHITE BABIES ARE NOT THE VICTIMS THAT YOU AND OTHERS CLAIM THAT THEY ARE.


    NO, its you that needs to wake the hell up to reality and truth.
    I have no sympathy for them or any damn dumb-ass fool that defends them.--Tyr

    The story isn't the riot, nor the shooting. That is just the consequence of ignoring the situation. A situation that only people who live outside their world pay attention to when something like this happens. Riots are a cry for help. And I'm not talking gov handouts.

    No they're not. They are the manifestation of those that find any excuse to loot and riot.

    If what you say is taken as a given, we'd see the entire community out rioting. They weren't. Indeed many showed up Sunday morning, young and old-male and female, to clean up the mess left behind.

    There are some opportunists of course, but that isn't the cause of the ignition for the fuel tank that builds over decades of injustice. The riot was wrong. But some feel it's the only way to get attention and guess what, it works. FYI I was there helping clean up and giving out water yesterday. I've never felt such emotional intensity from a community.

    I'm glad you got a feel good moment, that's great. Time for people in the community to communicate with the politicians, (aldermen or whatever system they have), schools, churches, and businesses. Change comes from those that work towards something, not destroying something.

    I wouldn't call it a feel good moment and your comment is exactly what the response would be of someone who doesn't live in their world.
