Time Magazine's Person Of The Year

Do you have anything to prove the percentage is that high?

Besides which, these "protestors" are yammering about a thug who was killed while attacking a cop. Hardly a worthwhile issue. All the evidence from neutral sources prove this to be so, and the local grand jury refused to indict. Even the DOJ could find nothing about which to complain and are not pursuing any action.

Where did you get the figure that 100 % of the protesters were thugs and hoodlums .

His fear and ignorance.

Or his ass.

Likely all three simultaneously.

Bullshit, there were hundreds of fucking looters (ie, felons) tearing that town apart.

Look out, here come some facts:

• 28 businesses were reported to have been burglarized on Aug. 10, the first night of unrest after the Brown shooting. Many had glass windows shattered.

• One business in the city of St. Louis was burglarized in a targeted operation by looters on Aug. 11: Shoe Carnival.

• Windows broken in St. Louis during protests: 25, according to St. Louis police Chief Sam Dotson.

• Number of buildings destroyed by fire: One.

• That was QuikTrip, hit by vandals Aug. 10. On Sept. 23, tension flared when a memorial to Brown burned. Someone poured gasoline around the outside of the Whistle Stop Café, a former train depot and a historic Ferguson site off South Florissant Road, and lit it on fire. The cafe had minor damage but never closed.

• Insurance claims from property damage due to Ferguson protests reported to the state totaled $250,000 after the first month of unrest; one prominent local insurance adjuster who processed three claims on West Florissant Avenue estimated damages were no more than $5 million, which included $1 million to $1.5 million for the burned QuikTrip.

• By comparison, damage to property in the 2001 St. Louis hailstorm: $2 billion.

• And the 2012 St. Louis hailstorm: $1.2 billion.

• Another way of looking at it is that the two St. Louis weather events combined caused 640 times as much damage as the unrest after the Brown shooting so far.

• More perspective: In 1992, the damage to property in Los Angeles from riots and some 7,000 fires was about $1 billion.

• Arrests: About 400.

• Why the disproportionate images of violence in St. Louis? Because 238 journalists receive daily updates from the St. Louis County police spokesman.

I didn't, and I have never claimed that. However, we can all agree some of them were. You were the one who said, in effect, that 95% were peaceful demonstrators and I asked where you had gotten that figure. So far, you haven't answered.

How on Earth can they include the looters and hoodlums and arsonists in Ferguson?

That sentence or are you going to say that it does not mean all protesters .
As for the 95 % it is an informed estimation and going by previous experience of riots it may be an underestimation .

Thugs. Vandals. Looters. Hoodlums.

Scum of our society.

When will whites finally take responsibility for themselves?

Obviously, it does not mean ALL protestors. So the 95% was a guess, unsupported by any evidence. That's about what I thought.
