Seriously, the view looking out with your head up your ass must be very boring, seeing the same thing all the time.First paragraph: "When protests broke out here after the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager in August, James Bass knew he had to hit the streets. His father lived in Ferguson, he lived close by, and like many young black men in the St. Louis area, Mr. Bass wanted his voice to be heard." Second paragraph: "Amid the chaos of tear gas and police orders to disperse one night, Mr. Bass, 22, was trying to get away from the crowd, only to find officers chasing him, he said, and ordering him to the ground. He spent that night in jail. He was released only after he called his manager at the swimming pool company where he worked, who in turn got the company’s owner to post Mr. Bass’s roughly $500 bond." The person talking about looting is "Brian Curtis, 24, knows exactly what he thinks should happen if Officer Wilson is not indicted. It would mean that peaceful protests were not working, he said, and that a more assertive, even violent, approach was necessary." Now how is that helping James Bass get his voice heard? That's what I was referring to. |
