In Ferguson, Missouri, martial law has been declared in the wake of unrest following the shooting death of a black male by a white police officer. The person shot has been implicated in a recent robbery. Before any of the facts could be ascertained, rioting ensued and racial arsonists from across the nation descended on the town.
The battle cry of those who seek to politically gain from incidents such as this is “No Justice, No Peace.” Those chanting it don’t want justice via the rule of law to prevail. It has come to mean a demand for instantaneous, preconceived punishment, regardless of the facts and the truth as determined by law enforcement, Judges and juries.
We are seeing this now in Ferguson, where the Governor has declared martial law, and to a lesser extent recently in Staten Island, New York, where an individual died following an apparently resisted arrest. In each instance the individuals died after encounters with a white cop. Both of the deceased were breaking the law albeit in minor ways.
That these two ended up dead is a tragedy. That both situations were seized upon by racial arsonists and criminals determined to exploit the racial anger and chaos are also tragedies. Individuals such as Al Sharpton have made a career out of exploiting racial tensions.
These agitators for personal gain ignore black on black crime in places like NYC and Chicago and wait in the tree line for “unequal power” events which end with the death of a black “victim,” as defined by them.
“Victimhood,” with all its waivers for personal responsibility, actions and behavior is what people like Al Sharpton sell like a drug.

The politics of “victimhood” has resulted in double standards throughout American life and the predictable and resultant fraying of the social contract. “Victimhood” has also been grafted onto certain groups thereby resulting in knee jerk reactions when bad things happen.
America is a nation of laws that protect individual rights. No person and no group is supposed to be exempt. Yet that is exactly what far too many of those who exploit “victims” who break the law want. Non designated victims don’t have a prayer of getting public sympathy for this position because the prevailing progressive ethos does not allow that to happen.
“Victimhood” must be retained only for those who can be used to help bring down the “system” as extreme leftists Cloward and Piven would have it. So it is reserved for blacks, Muslims, gays, illegals and others extremists wish to characterize as outside the mainstream. Those they can’t portray as outsiders just don’t count. Those promoting “victimhood” want chaos because chaos obliterates the social contract and leaves them in charge.
Ferguson, Missouri is currently ground zero for “Social Justice” where first amendment rights and law and order are being attacked in pursuit of Saul Alinsky’s dream of overthrowing an America ruled by laws respecting individual rights.
Ferguson, Missouri is also social justice progressivism at its finest or at its worst depending on from which side you are viewing it. It is where this President who was supposed to end racial strife and his allies has taken us in their fundamental transformation of America. Ironically, because this White House has been so eager to add fuel to the fire of racial tensions, Al Sharpton is really not needed anymore.
