Radical Left Plans Ferguson Protests
The radical Left has not been waiting idly for the grand jury’s decision whether or not to indict officer Darren Wilson for the death of Michael Brown. While outside groups from the New Black Panthers to Tibetan Monks came when the riots and protests first broke out, some lifelong protesters have stayed to prepare for when the decision on Wilson is handed down. They are teaching classes on “militant non-violent disobedience.” Community organizer Rev. Osagyefo Sekou said, “And we use the word ‘militant’ as opposed to the word ‘passive’ non-violent civil disobedience, because we are about a direct encounter with the state to create drama to show that we are willing to take a risk in confronting the state because of injustice.” Another video shows protest organizers planning on targeting white neighborhoods of Ferguson. Meanwhile, the community of Ferguson is boarding up businesses, stockpiling food and trying to purchase weapons in case the protests once again become violent.
