I think it's time Gov Nixon demands NO VIOLENCE towards the citizens of Ferguson from white thugs

Don't you?

I think it's time he hears from us. Don't you?

https://governor.mo.gov/get-involved/contact-the-governors-office

Why is white thug violence okay, Governor? Why is it okay for racist thugs to be locked and loaded and to take the law into their own disgusting hands, but not okay for citizens of a city to protest? IT'S NOT!!

It will take you 2 minutes of your time to stand up for the citizens of Ferguson and demand that the KKK needs to be stopped.
Will you do it?

Mine -
I saw your news conference telling the citizens of Ferguson to remain calm as you let the murderer Wilson walk free BUT when are you going to hold a news conference telling the KKK to stay home? I am certain that you are aware that they are planning on coming into Ferguson locked and loaded and to take matters into their own hands. HOW COULD THAT NOT CONCERN YOU? If anything happens with the KKK, the blood will be on your hands.

and he needs to address the issue with the LEOs within his state. Missouri needs to clean house from the top down or from the down up, I really don't care which direction, well both at once I guess would be ideal.

It's a shame it's a Democrat doing it, but the party stands for nothing. We've got anti-Social Security Democrats, pro-war Democrats, anti-environment Democrats, anti-abortion Democrats, so why not openly racist Democrats? It's a big tent; there's of room for the Klan in the back where the progressives used to be.

I have always been proud to be from Missouri. Well I have been until recently. There are so many events and attitudes exposed recently which I find indefensible. Unfortunately, you and your words and actions are included.

The leaks, constant discussion of "contingency" plans, and condescending threats from your speech seem to be more aimed at inciting and inflaming than advocating for peace.

The KKK is threatening Missouri citizens. Have you given thought to lecturing them about zero tolerance towards violence?

Have you articulated to the police forces those breaking the law should be arrested but protesters will be protected. Have you lectured Civil Rights violations will be cause for termination?

If anyone has doubt the protesters aren't justified need only to read comments under any news article written about Ferguson. The racism and hatred is blatant. Worse yet, what is being reported (such as your statements) is emboldens them.... Why is that? Because what you say seems to be every bit as racist.

Let's just hope we can make a difference.

If we see Nixon speaking publicly about this - we can

Took me a little longer. If I would have just said "don't be an asshole" it would have been quick. I had to put it politely, and that takes a little longer.
