No "Weasel Words" here

We will attack you, destroy your homes and workplaces and steal whatever's left.

It's "burn baby, burn" in the land of gentle giants.
The Ferguson Mike Brown protesters are not ruling out violence or looting.

Rioting and looting are the tools of those without a voice."
Funny how all those "folks without a voice" are making front page news on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the "discussion"... elected officials are still mumbling about a "Period of Unrest."

A "period of unrest, huh?" Sounds like pre-naptime protest at the Funnybunny Daycare.

Sorry folks, this is way past constitutionally-protected speech. It's time to jock up... or, more rationally, shoehorn the family into the Subaru and take that long-promised trip to Disneyland.

Either way, you may just wanna firm up a few details with your insurance agent first.

UPDATE: Did I say Disneyworld?

I hear New Zealand is lovely this time of year...
In its new intelligence bulletin, obtained by ABC News, the FBI says “exploitation” of mass demonstrations “could occur both in the Ferguson area and nationwide.”
It's a brave new world sportsfans.

UPDATE2: Looks like some folks...

...aren't just gonna lie back and let it happen...
Gun stores near the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson have seen sales zoom as the area awaits a grand jury decision on whether to indict a police officer for shooting unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

John Stephenson of Metro Shooting Supplies in nearby Bridgeton said he normally sells 10 to 15 guns a day. But for the last three weeks, he said he has been selling between 30 and 50 guns daily, a nearly 300 percent increase.

The biggest sellers have been "home defense shotguns" and "high capacity semi-automatic pistols," particularly the Smith & Wesson M&P9, Stephenson said. He's sold about 250 of the pistols in the last few weeks.

"As fast as we get them in, we sell them," he said.
Looks like some Ferguson homeowners are gonna "take back the night."
