I fear that the anarchy we’ve seen unfold in downtown Ferguson, Missouri over the last couple of days really does represent the demise of civility in America. The situation there – after an unarmed black man was fatally shot by police – is starting to resemble the mindless violence we see in some third world countries:

Ferguson, Missouri Unrest Enters Second Night: Police Confront Angry Mob with Tear Gas, Tanks ~

Unrest continued for a second night in a St. Louis suburb where rioting, looting, arson and vandalism marked a hellish night Sunday […]
 
Authorities blocked off access to Ferguson on Monday night and KTVI-TV reported that police in riot gear were using tear gas to disperse a crowd of protesters. It said there were reports of rubber bullets being fired. KMOV-TV said the tear gas was being fired at people gathering near a major intersection.

 
Ben Shapiro at Breitbart notes the growing frequency of these troubling outbreaks of violence ~

When Obama was elected in 2008, many Americans hoped that racial conflict in the country would calm. Instead, precisely the reverse seems to have occurred […]
 
… with every controversial police shooting of a minority victim, the possibility of riots looms these days. That’s been true since well before President Obama took office, thanks to a racial grievance industry based on the tacit threat of violence. But President Obama has done little to tamp down that industry and much to energize it.

 
Exactly. And again – with this latest incident of mob violence – notably absent is any effort on the part of our executive-in-chief to call for restraint, patience, and personal responsibility from the protestors. Instead, by implication (sending the FBI in to investigate the cops), the president seems to actually approve of the riots.
 

Real leaders are supposed to inspire, to appeal to our better natures. Yet all the former community organizer seems inclined to do is instigate further discord.
 

 
No good can come to America from these continual uprisings.
 
But maybe “no good” is exactly what Obama is looking for….

Rabbi in Miami Murdered, Jihad against Jews has come to America? ~

There was no theft of property from the Rabbi’s person, then what was the motive? This was most probably an act of hate, few weeks before a synagogue was daubed with swastika and Hamas graffiti. It is time for Jewish leaders to unite to demand that so called “moderate” muslims not just speak out but route out the bad guys. Further that we as country need to survey Mosques that preach hate i.e. advancement of “killing the Jews” which is not free speech but incitement to murder.

This was almost certainly a “hate-crime.” So where are the riots in Florida?
Oh yeah. Different strokes for different folks.
