| REPORT: ONLY 3 OF 78 ARRESTED PROTESTERS WERE FERGUSON RESIDENTS |
| 2014-08-21 |
| h/t Instapundit Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan reported that only three of the 78 protesters arrested last night during last night's clash between the police and protesters in Ferguson were actually from the city on Tuesday's "The O'Reilly Factor." He stated that there were, "78 arrests, just three of them here from the town of Ferguson." Harrigan added that there were "a lot from Missouri, but some came from as far away as California and New York." And that there are "some concerns from police that rioters are using the demonstrations as a cover, a cover to launch some attacks against police." |

| #19 I'm for flying these people back to their homes in a C-130. When the aircraft is over their house, they get kicked out the back of the door at 15,000 feet. |

| #17 I wouldn't be opposed if they passed a law making it a felony to cross-state boundaries in order to riot. Cross-state boundaries to protest but if you go there to break and steal things they should toss you in the clink for a couple of years. |

| #15 Betch'ya it goes right to the Occupy movements. That skinny white kid looked rigged straight from the Occupy Oakland kit. This activity builds creds, which turns into fundraising pitches. Chaos as an industry. (loads) |

| #14 Having traveled a number of times from California to Missouri and back again I can tell you that it takes a few hundred bucks at least. How many of these miscreants can come up with even that kind of money just so they can make trouble in Ferguson? Can we please get some enterprising journalist to follow the money? |

| #13 Any from East St Louis IL? Posted by 3dc Very doubtful. The economy is tight and it's difficult to get time off from the gambling boats and whore houses. |

| #11 I'd wager the Chief of Police of Ferguson has a thumb drive full of hospital photos of a severely beaten Officer Wilson. Assaulting a police officer is still a felony. So the 'Gentle Giant' was terminated during the commission of felony assault, and the issue is where.........? |

| #10 It does kinda make one wonder who might put them up to such mischief. |

| #9 AlanC - "Plausible deniability", we don't want this to get too close to the US AG's office now, do we? |

| #8 HG, former SEIU?? Do you have any reason to assume "former" rather than current? |
| Posted by: AlanC 2014-08-21 10:52 |
| #7 "a lot from Missouri, but some came from as far away as California and New York." Ummm, any former SEUI "employees" in the crowd, AKA the thug contingent of the DONK party ? From their website "The Service Employees International Union unites 2 million diverse members in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico." |

| #6 Supposedly 30 of these arrested protesters had criminal records. |

| #5 ...but it's known. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. who have been victims. The list continues to grow. The word spreads. So does the real seething. We may have reached the point where the socialist are motivating more to turn out against their machine than they're going to get to show up at the polls in November with such |

| #4 Race-based hate crimes spike in D.C.; whites most common victims, but underreporting feared |

| #3 What was the percentage breakdown by dem, rep, tea party? |

| #2 As much as they are trying to milk this, the Dems have a huge problem with what is going on. The message these protests are trying to send is that if a black person attacks a white person any time, anywhere, for any reason, the white person should just stand there and take it without resistance. Because racism. Despite the fact that we have a large, vocal and well placed bunch with a bully pulpit that actually believe this (the NPR-listening pseudointellectual crowd), this ultimately will not play well to the electorate at large. The whole issue of overly militarized civilian police officers is important but it needs to be considered differently from the reason for the initial attack. |
