    The only thing offensive is this guy Lynch's rant on Nugent. As to his statement that most stars are offended by the verdict, so what? Just because they are the "majority" doesn't make them right. Every single point this guy makes is right out of the Alinsky playbook as acted out by the demonstrators of Ferguson. Those who are not part of the demonstrators-for-hire are, as are the Hollywood "elite" merely Lenin's "useful Idiots."

    Ted has it spot on, even if a bit over the top. It makes perfect sense to bring up Obama, in light of his ignorant approach to soothing the town. The guy would not know how to be black if he had to, he never was black. He does not care about blacks, white, Hispanics. Where are either of them when it it is just blacks harming blacks, no news value in that for them. If they cared, they would be there. This hulk of an 18 year old adult was already willing to use physical violence against other human being for his own gain. This time, it did not work. He was not some poor child, except in the way he was allowed to grow up as a thug.

      He could have made a cornerstone out of dismantling the war on drugs (why the majority of blacks are incarcerated) not a peep. Or not pushed for a higher minimum wage(black teen unemployment 38%) but push for higher min wage he does

        Proof once again he does not care about blacks. One could say he is not competent, but he is following his agenda to make the US a Marxist dystopIa. Once could say he is not too smart, and at apx. 117 IQ, that is a factor. But mostly he is a feelingless user of black Americans.

    Hmmmm, I read that article and snapped. So I made the following comment.

    Blah, blah blah, there is nothing illogical in what Mr. Nugent said. He is SPOT ON! That is the discussion that America, black and white, should be having. The fact that he strong armed a $48 box of cigarillos from the convenience store didn't make him a thug. Believing that he could simply disobey a police officer when asked to remove himself from the middle of the road DID! The protests that have occurred in Ferguson were never about the police officer NOT being indicted but they are about the "entitlement" mentality that some people, black or white, have. They believe they should be allowed to do whatever they wish without the consequences and this is being fueled, wrongly so, by the black leadership of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and many others. If one truly believes that Mr. Brown was gunned down then protest and take it to the courts you don't burn down businesses and put people out of work in an already high unemployment area to prove a point because NOW the entire community suffers. Mr. Lynch you should demand your money back from the college you went to as you have learned nothing. Black lives do matter, so why are so many black lives snuffed out in Chicago and other inner cities by other blacks and why is the abortion rate in the black community approaching 70%?? These facts are no brainers and non starters since the stats on "white officers" killing "unarmed black teens" is hovering at right about 0.01%. With this article you continue to foment the unrest with the Sharpton's and the Jackson's rather than put the responsibility on the punk who felt he was "entitled" to attack a officer of the law simply because "he", Mr. Brown, didn't like what he said. I say here, here Mr. Nugent but now let's have the conversation we should be having!

    Apparently the author does follow Uncle Ted much. I would say it was one of his more well reasoned and eloquently delivered speeches. I guess I am one of those relatives sitting around the Thanksgiving table you are supposed to leer at tomorrow. While you do I will be raising an adult beverage in honor of my favorite Uncle Ted.

      Ted just speaks his mind, and expects people to respect that. I have disagreed with some statements in the past but that is the nature of things, not a reason for hammering.

    They put so many words in his mouth is infuriating. I stopped reading after "gangsta" culture presumably means rap music. I like rap music and I no that doesn't mean I'm part of "gangsta" culture.

      It does mean you vote with your dollars if you purchase it. Notice I didn't say music.

        Well technically no. It means I like rap music, like I said, not that I purchase it. And I don't have time to "notice" the billion words you didn't say, but it sounds like you're implying rap isn't a type of music. In which case, whatever man.

      but it *does* mean you have no taste.

      And "rap music" is an oxymoron. Rap is not music.

        It was a dark moment in the lives of two people* when an amateur Norse scholar/harpist was describing to me how 'Viking' skalds did not sing the way we do in modern life, but played the harp and chanted along, and I heard my voice reply back to him: "You mean, Norse skalds did RAP?"

          I was thinking more in terms of Gregorian chants myself.

          Glad you took that in the spirit I meant it, even though I forgot a :-)

    My response to the article.

    Re: Author of this article, Joe Lynch.

    You Sir, are truly a twit who can't see the trees because they are growing in the woods.

    As the Grand Jury has determined, including 3 African American members of the jury, the police officer was acting in self defense to protect his life.

    Your so called 18 year old unarmed teenager was determined to have assaulted the officer while he was in his car and attempted to grab his pistol. furthermore it was established that he outweighed the officer by a considerable amount and an 18 year old weighing approximately 250 pounds is not some kind of innocent child. As the video of his robbery of the store showed, and yes, it was a robbery, Mr. Brown was not above being willing to injure and use his weight and height advantage to hurt and intimidate the store owner.

    It behooves any citizen, when challenged by a police officer, to do as ordered until the situation is resolved. If the officer chooses to arrest the citizen, then the citizen has the right and opportunity to take any steps necessary to clarify the situation in court and sue the police department and city if an offense against the citizen in fact occurred. Mr. Brown instead chose to resist arrest by attacking the officer.

    I offer a link to a video recording by Tyrese Gibson, we should all pay attention to his words.

    http://www.glennbeck.com/2014/11/30/fast...

    People like you should definitely hear and see this recording since liberal progressives like you tend to encourage the waste of so many lives into choosing self pity and upside down thinking to ruin their own lives.

    I was expecting to read a nutty rant by old Ted here...he can be a little far out in right field sometimes....but my take on what he said was pretty much exactly in line with What nickursis said..."I am not so sure Ted was being really illogical " Reaqding Teds rant I am reminded of listening to Ron Paul...He sounds like a crazed guy weird old New England bumpkin farmer, until you actually read what he said....then you cant find fault with what he said!

    Well, I don’t see the rambling the article claims exist, so there must be something wrong with the way I think; that’s what you are suppose to take away from this article. Progressives--they are out in full swing since the election. Expect the term ‘wrong-thinking’ to come back en vogue.

    Nugent's right, and this article is little more than an attempted distraction and smear piece.

    As just one example:
    >Instead of focusing on an unarmed 18-year-old being shot to death, Nugent draws attention to the fact that Brown robbed a convenience store

    ...Um, no. You drew attention to that fact. Nugent mentioned those who "steal, assault & attack cops..." The most important fact in the cop's actions is whether or not he was being attacked and assaulted. If Brown was running away or had his hands up then his death was a murder. If he was attacking the cop then wtf did you expect to happen. Anyone would have been justified killing him if they were being attacked. It's fait accompli when it involves a cop. Whether Brown previously stole something is incidental to this maelstrom.

    Or is it? Is this a protest against the growing police state? In which case Brown is the wrong cause celebre, but then the mood of the crowd isn't always perfect. Is it a protest against a privileged White person killed a Black person? Or is it rage that a looter was told no? That his victim stopped him before before he could loot the victim's life.

    The real issue is that this culture of anyone publishing on the internet as a "journalist" leads to incredible lack of clarity, facts and a huge upswing in bias. They use it for their own agenda drving and it leads to more and more "fast and loose" reporting. Look at the melee that was the post shooting crap, where everything and anything was reported from he was shot with his hands up to he was shot in the back. It becomes virtually impossible to find facts after a while especially when a screaming dude on cam says he was murdered right in front of his eyes, and later quietly says he didn't see anything. Adds up to a bulls@#t environment. A lot like the Obamanation crap with his crappy ripoff health care debacle.

    It is ridiculous to consider a 6 ft 3, two hundred ninety pound male who is beating on you an unarmed boy. his shooting was clearly justified. it is time for blacks to get their heads out of their a**s and get control of their younger generation. They must take an active part to turn them into useful citizens. Convince them to stay in school, realize drug dealing and gang wars are dead end roads. Stop making babies and wean them of welfare dependence. They must support the police and turn in lawbreakers. Most of the victims are Black.

    Ted is right on. Has any of the protesters stopped for one minute to put themselves in a policeman uniform for a day? Every time they strap on a gun and approach a situation their life is in jeopardy. Each law officer can only hope these people have a little respect for the badge the uniform and most certainly the gun.

    As far as I'm concerned, Nugent was right on the money, and we can forgive him his references to God.

    The only thing I would have said that he didn't, is that we need to stop subsidizing the breeding of more barbarian thugs (through welfare) before they turn the country into another Ethiopia. (And it's OK with me if they abort some of them.)

    And if you think it's fun to scare people by behaving like a thug, you are a thug.

      The best way to stop subsidizing the breeding of more barbarian thugs is to make birth control and abortion more widely available, but with our new Congress it looks like things are going in the opposite direction.

        Or maybe just teaching that self control is in your rational self interest and lack of self control can cause big problems and consequences (and implementing precautions is always a good idea too). I'm also all for shutting off the freebie spigot because getting a paycheck for the results of irresponsible and bad behavior typically doesn't encourage a change to good behavior. This is all just basic OBVIOUS stuff that I can't believe some have such a difficult time understanding and think the answer to the problem is to throw money at it. Somebody else's money of course.

        Making abortion and birth control more widely available will do nothing. When children see their parents get free money then that is what they learn to do. And the more chldren, the more money. The way to stop this is to take away the free money, healthcare, etc. and educate them as to the time commitment, cost, and headaches of raising children.

          Exactly. If you have a child while living on welfare, the child should be put in foster care (so as not to be trapped in your lifestyle with no future) and your benefits should be cut as a penalty.

        Birth control is widely available, and cheap. The problem is that people opt to not use it because they have no personal responsibility. The same people will blow their whole paycheck on something stupid and then get stuck with no money to pay rent and complain about it. The ability to think of consequences beyond right now + 5 minutes is apparently rare.
