The Ox-Bow Incident,' Ferguson and the rule of law ................................................................. Chicago Tribune ^ \| 02 dec 2014 \| Remember "The Ox-Bow Incident?" But I've been thinking about it lately, especially now, with what's going on in Missouri, in Ferguson and in St. Louis. "The Ox-Bow Incident" is a film of a novel that speaks to the rule of law. And it admonishes us against mob rule, the kind that turns men into a lynch mob. Or — and this is taken from the latest news — the kind of ugly passion that might have led to a man being beaten to death with hammers in St. Louis. (Excerpt) Read more at chicagotribune.com ...

I thought of Joseph Goebbels' doctrine, people will believe any lie if it's repeated often enough and loud enough. They're repeating it often enough and loud enough. And it will pay off for them personally and politically. People who are out to forward their political careers say and do things that have no relationship whatever to reality or to anybody else's interests but their own. I think what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, it is going to adversely affect blacks yet unborn who will still be paying the price for it 10, 20 years from now because you're not going to have businesses there that you had before.
