World’s Most Repressive Regimes Delight In U.S. Crack Down In Ferguson
After years of being critiqued for its own crackdowns against dissidents, China has begun to use the ongoing clashes between police and protesters and police in Ferguson, MO as a way to lambaste the United States for hypocrisy, joining other repressive regimes in expressing no small amount of schadenfreude at the current situation.
The Chinese government either directly owns or oversees all media within the country, including the Xinhua news service. As such, the op-ed published on Monday from commentator Li Li can be read as being an unofficial statement from Beijing. In the article, Li takes the United States to task for not yet realizing Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream, noting that “despite the progress, racial divide still remains a deeply-rooted chronic disease that keeps tearing U.S. society apart, just as manifested by the latest racial riot in Missouri.”
Russia Today, which is controlled through the Kremlin, has maintained a liveblog of the situation and has deployed at least one reporter to the scene. On the other hand, they’ve also used the protests to mock reportsthat the Kremlin deployed a man who was until recently acting as commander of rebel forces to Ukraine.
Likewise, Iran’s state-run Press TV has run several stories on Ferguson, including at least one that appears to have been pilfered from American outlet The Hill. On his Twitter account, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei went further, tweeting out: “Based on global statistics,US govt is the biggest violator of #HumanRights. Besides int’l crimes,it commits crimes against its ppl” and “Today like previous years, African-Americans are still under pressure, oppressed and subjected to discrimination. #Ferguson.”

USA is as corrupt and as oppressive of democracy and dissent as other authoritarian regimes.
How do the Chinese and other countries even know this is going on Boots?
Please ask yourself this. And then give me an answer. And you know what the response up top from China and Russia is between themselves...
Ya see what happens in a democracy with mixed ethnic groups, it just don't work.
mush brains!
I bet they have Internet, satellite TV, etc, etc, watchathink?
Heh, it is.
I haven't finished reading the whole thread, but would love the open carry nuts to do a protest there.
That would be hilarious. And by hilarious, I mean tragically lethal.
It would also be a tragicomedy of the highest order to watch the mental contortions of the NRA having to support the someone protesting the death of an unarmed man. No limits on gun rights, right?
Not trying to bait you, but I just wanted to point out that wandering around with weapons needs some limits, just as there are common-sense limits on free speech.
Oh brilliant Boots, and how did it get through to them?mush brains!
I bet they have Internet, satellite TV, etc, etc, watchathink?
Think you GD idiot...
Boots?
Boots?
Is our conversation being traced?
Should we lay low now?
Shhhhh...
Mega Arms Billet upper and lower in .308
Very nice.
Interesting. Only 3 bullet casings found on scene, and it appears only 3 bullets could have caused all the wounds.
So what's it used for?
Is it like a great sniper rifle or what?
It does not look like something one would strafe rhinos with.
Whoa...

Where did you get this?
Parents released it.
I'd love to turn that bad boy on a herd of wild pigs in the middle of a field at 300 yards...
i don't support rioting and looting. most of the rioters and looters aren't even from ferguson. as far as the milk goes, desperate times call for desperate measures. they broke a glass to get into the mcdonalds, no other damage was reported.
Aha!
Texas ATM needs to look at some method of releasing a load of sterile males that screwup the females rep. system when they come to term with stillborns. Very difficult, but it worked with the screw worm. Then we gotta think about some poison to put into plant roots only they get to. Then we carry out night assaults with those guns...
And it still probably won't do the job.
just inciting violence
Not helping.
(edit--jeez... look closely at the mail box, esp. the blur)
So what is the "protest" accomplishing other than providing more cover and opportunity for violence?
That picture was SOOOOO staged...they even photoshopped the " " out of it...
Eyup. Those ers breed so quickly.
Sterilization offers a good solution. It works well with other fast breeding animals like cats and dogs. Get the ones that CAN breed to breed unsuccessfully.
How are you saying it is staged?That picture was SOOOOO staged...they even photoshopped the " " out of it...
sippin sizzurp in my ride
like Three Six
Yes, why?
its accomplishing a lot obviously. there is a small minority that are looting, black and white, who are not from the community. i will post video of a ferguson resident explaining the demographic of rioters soon as i find it.
If they REALLY wanted the situation to de-escalate why don't they just stay the home? What are they accomplishing except for getting Trills panties all in a wad?
What EXACTLY?
