I thought you were not suppose to film a game. Aren't there strict rules and fines for doing so???

Huge no-no.

I apologize in advance ...I never do this...I have been away all day, and I'm too tired to read everything to catch up.
Can someone please just give me bullet point high points from today? What happened at the football game? After the game? Anything news worthy?

Literally NO ONE other than the one guy from the youtube video showed up. A random couple each holding a sign.

Baseball was a little better - about 11 people chanting through the streets carrying an upside down flag. Pretty entertaining.

Nothing at the football game because Umar Lee decided to show compassion and allow the Rams to play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1JJ_txmoUc&list=UUn0D5epLsNAnpQfAgMzvSSw Maybe 4 protesters showed up.

Now they are at the Cards baseball game, a whole whopping 15 people and are pretty much being ignored or taunted and the live feed from http://argusnewsnow.com/ keeps going out.

Nothing at the football game, at least at halftime, because I saw 6 protesters and a couple hundred pissed off hoosiers smoking outside staring them down. lol And yes Lambchop, hoosiers is a term of endearment here. I wear it with pride myself to a certain extent.

I could just watch that over and over again. Great stuff!
:drumroll:

I think he said he was shutting the feed down for now- but would be back later with something you won't want to miss. Something like that...

Sounded like he wanted to watch the game. LOL!

He was shutting the feed down and trying to hide his camera because he knows if he's caught filming in there he'll lose his camera and be either arrested or taken out.

This St Louis County PD continuing education course option is getting horrified response from "them".

http://www.stlouisco.com/Portals/8/docs/Document Library/police academy/2014/Mediashoot.pdf

The course is about how LE can effectively deal with the media when a media tornado like Ferguson hits. It mentions "The 900 lb. Gorilla, and "Feeding the Animals" ... but almost certainly the animals are the media and the "gorilla" is not a human, much less a black human. What in that flyer is offensive, because I'm not seeing it?

I am hoping that is a sick joke or someone will need to explain to me exactly who the 900lb gorilla is- elephant in the room is one thing- gorilla has nasty racial connotations that cannot be denied. (Google Obama or ANY notable POC) + gorilla if you are not familiar with racist garbage like this.)

Sick joke!

Not just Ferguson....the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County AND the St. Louis Rams...it is a far reaching edict.

• The whole #No Justice No Football deal didn't get enough sizzle-up to qualify as a fizzle-out.
• (They explained it by saying they "Decided to be merciful and allow the rams to play." :lol: )
• Shahid was there, though.
  
• Then they said the whole Rams/Football protest was just a "Decoy" for The Big One tonight, anyway, and put out calls for people to come help protest! You can see how that's going now. zzzz
  
• Maria Chappelle Nadal still says her intern was run over by a KKK... even though the KKK guy appears to be a Jew.
  
• No word on his real status with the police.
  
• Klood posted a great timeline around post #558

Urban Dictionary: 800-pound gorilla
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?...pound+gorilla
Urban Dictionary
An overbearing entity in a specific industry or sphere of activity. A seemingly unbeatable presence always to be reckoned with;



It is a saying. It is not racial. It is not a sick joke. Sheesh. Why does everything have to be looked at as id it was racism?

 

[Linda7NJ]

Thank you all for catching me up. You're all wonderful!

The cards are playing on ESPN right now. I am not seeing any 'shut downs' or surprises.

I know what hoosiers are. LOL I saw the movie. :floorlaugh:

Umar- Is he black? He looks white but sounds black? Was he the white guy at the baseball game tonight?

 

[JLSChook]

Oh no! My bad. I hope I'm not on probation now.

I shall look it up in the great book of Umar. :shame:

Is this pic the Ferguson PD building, because the foreground looks like the cozy nest the agitators have enjoyed in the Andy Wurm Tire Company parking lot?
