Ferguson Little Caesar's vs. the Dublin Post Office.





I'm pretty sure the destruction to the General Post Office during the 1916 Easter Uprising was a byproduct of the fight, not planned destruction as an end in itself.

No body can do the hard work of strategy, and defining goals, for you. Where is the list of demands from the protestors in Ferguson? What was Michael Brown fighting for? A free box of cigarillos? Stolen not from a white man, but an immigrant storekeeper?

There are no black leaders there, and the white media is feeding on these images.

Disadvantaged children will learn to emulate this nonsense, with no end in sight. No generational triumph in sight. That's the saddest thing.

ADDED: God help the little children if the public schools in the affected areas are closed again today, for the children's safety amidst the community unrest. Who is winning here, and who is losing really?
