Will Ferguson race riots help Obama? ................................................................................... The Washington Times ^ \| November 18, 2014 \| Ernest Istook A race riot could erupt in Ferguson, Missouri, any day. President Barack Obama and Attorney-General Eric Holder should be utilizing tools like the federal Anti-Riot Act. Instead, they’re stoking the flames. For Mr. Obama, riots could be a convenient distraction from two major furors: 1) Executive amnesty for illegal immigrants, and 2) Dr. Jonathan Gruber’s role as a paid flack to deceive the country about Obamacare. The national media are primed and ready to help shift attention. Liberal outlets are “begging” for riots. Riots divert media from covering things that embarrass the president. Those are things that liberal media don’t want to cover anyway. Rather than discouraging the out-of-town agitators who have stayed in Ferguson since August, Mr. Obama has shown sympathy for their cause. The agitators want a murder indictment of Ferguson policeman Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Michael Brown. The grand jury reportedly heard testimony describing how the 6-foot-4, 292-pound Brown attacked Mr. Wilson, fractured his eye socket, tried to steal his gun, then charged at the officer again. The mobs in Ferguson see it differently; they side with Brown’s father who insists the police officer be indicted for murder. Agitators have released protest target lists of dozens of places in the St. Louis area, presuming that Mr. Wilson will not be indicted. An advance state of emergency has been declared by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, and he also activated the National Guard to prepare to respond to riots. Much of the agitation has come from out-of-state troublemakers, including self-identified anarchists and Marxists. They’re the reason we have a federal Anti-Riot Act. But it has not been invoked. It has not been used to investigate the instigators. It has not even been used to sound a warning to them. Not even after more than 100 Ferguson businesses have already been looted. “Rioting and looting are the tools of those without a voice,” said Rockit Ali, a masked Ferguson protest organizer, speaking to Reuters news service. “There is no revolution without violence.” Ferguson protestors met with Mr. Obama last week in an unpublicized private White House meeting?, as reported by The New York Times?. Others in the meeting were not identified, but Al Sharpton said Mr. Obama told them to “stay the course.” Read more: washingtontimes.com Follow us: @washtimes on Twitter
