Wolf Blitzer seized by the horrific injustice of fire

I for one am grateful that Wolf is personally leading the media charge for more law enforcement to stop the looters and "criminal" elements who last night took over in Ferguson.

By coincidence, I'll betcha today's media polling showed a big (white) part of the audience happy to just move on from the whole Michael Brown saga, involving as it does: a non-telegenic victim, a cowardly cop of uncertain motivation, a hail of bullets, a dead body lying in the street heat for hours just in case anyone missed the message; and of course, a grand jury process that would have given John Wilkes Booth a free limo ride home.

We are better people now that Wolf has focused our attention on a really important things now, which is shopkeepers, their children, their grandchildren, their grandchildren's puppies, and just plain old beautiful flowers in a lovely part of the country. Think about that, not Michael Brown. And think about commemorating hard-working law enforcement people when you say your blessings at Thursday dinner.

Okay. Coming up, is it even possible for Ferguson to have too many police, too heavily armed, from too many jurisdictions, when you're juicing up for cracking heads at triple overtime?

Yeah, I'm fucking angry.

And I seriously think that the violence says more about the cops than the protesters. The fire looked really amazing at night, don't you think?

I sense shock and awe coming. The cops must be vigilant for demon faces, and come down hard on anyone grabbing their waistbands.
