"But it wasn't VIOLENCE!"

Same thought exactly, here's the $555 I looted from the store.

Excellent pacing and even kept the original rhyme scheme in many lines. Those looters were following the example set by Michael Brown, who now looks like a petty thief compared to them. He had only one accomplice and paid the ultimate penalty; they relied on safety in numbers and got away unpunished. Was that the "justice" the rioters sought?

now this is what I call Black Comedy! 5's

Al Sharpton is pro-looting? That's news to me. Would you provide a source, please? Jesse Jackson turns a blind eye to looting because of the legacy of slavery? I didn't know that. But I'm glad that you think looting is an abomination. So do I. But that's like being in favor of motherhood. Can you work up some perspiration about torture of alleged terrorists? I mean sleep deprivation for more than a week, being locked in a coffin for days, solitary confinement for 3 1/2 years with no sensory input, "rectal feeding," etc. Either pro (like Saxby Chambliss) or con (like John McCain) would be entertaining.

The Kansas City TV news stations carried the first night of burning and pillaging live. What irritated me was that the reporters continued to refer to the mob as "protesters". No, they were rioters. A protester verbalizes a grievance before the authorities or to the general public in order to gain sympathy and and redress. Burning the business district of Ferguson, Missouri simply reinforces the stereotype that the "protesters" claim led to the death of Michael Brown. As for Eric Garner, that was inexcusable. I had not heard of the practice of selling loose cigarettes on the street until a few months ago when a non-smoking friend of mine came upon a collection of cigarette packs. He kept a few of the exotic brands and sold the rest to a man who retailed them one at a time on the street in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. As far as I know, the KC MO police did not strangle him to death over a petty economic "crime". Garner's death reinforces my negative stereotypes of New York City and its infamously corrupt police. Glad you all liked my parody. I would change "Wal Mart" to "Quik Trip" and "lots of things" to "sticks and stones". If you plan to record this (ha! ha!) please take note.

Looters look to so-called "leaders" for justification for their actions. The views expressed concerning Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are unthinking stereotypes, just like the views of the "protesters" concerning the police, and the police of the Black community. Stereotypes are shortcuts to avoid deep thinking. As for the torture of terror suspects, that is a slightly different topic, though it would not be hard to link police brutality and CIA abuses to a larger pattern of government violence. If you have a suitable melody, you are welcome to tackle the subject, and I hope to see what you have to say on this W.E.B. site.
