Voter registration booths set up at site where Michael Brown was shot
You want to talk about not having class, stomping on the graves of dead people, or not wasting a good crisis? Liberals are sick, demented pricks.
Quote:
Republicans are criticizing efforts by liberal organizers to set up voter registration booths at the site where Missouri teenager Michael Brown was shot and killed by a local police officer.
Reports of the voter registration tables have been reported via liberal activists on social media.
“In front of the makeshift memorial where Mike Brown was killed, they've set up a voter registration table,” tweeted Jessica Lee, a Human rights attorney at the Center For Constitutional Rights wrote on Twitter.

RE: Voter registration booths set up at site where Michael Brown was shot
I read somewhere where maybe like 10 percent of the people in these projects voted last election. That is a scary thought to the GOP if these areas get motivated and start to vote.

Probably 104% of these folks voted and they are just trying to get that number up even more!
But really, this is both unethical and unseemly.

RE: Voter registration booths set up at site where Michael Brown was shot
Funny thing that all politicians involved to blame from mayor to State Senate rep and Gov are all democrats. Whom do They want to throw out? No republican Officials were involved. This is Just THE ONLY REASON for the Coverage is to enrage Black Voters into the Voting Booth to help Their Beloved Obama in November. What a Crock. Other "Backlashed voters" Could show up in November if They keep it up.

It's not a terrible message. What's a better way to address your grievances and concerns, rioting or voting?

That you choose to over look the obvious element doesn't speak well.

Was it on NPR? I thought I heard it on the radio. Generally these high poverty areas don't vote.

Typical leftist reaction. Here's another example of equal opportunity as opposed to an attempt at engineering equal outcome.

Yes, I heard the voting figure on NPR. I think it was more around 10% than 20% though.

I read an article last week that said LA was embarrassed by low voter turnout and wanted to raffle off prizes to get people to show up.

The NRA should set up a booth right next to them.

Given the recent thug activity, I would recommend a police precinct on that corner.

Exactly.
Oh what the hell ever. What's more objectionable? The violent and racially charged riots that are also going on in the same location where this kid was gunned down or a voter registration booth?
I don't know you so I can't speak for what you think, but for MANY people, the desired "time and place" for the people of Ferguson to vote is NEVER.
There's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't canvas this. The people rioting have genuine personal political objections to what is occurring and what has occurred. Offering a political avenue for change as an alternative to rioting is an acceptable venture. That's how meaningful dialogue and progress on this issue should occur, on the political level, not with riots in the street.
It seems to me that most people in this discussion oppose this because of who or what these individuals might vote for. I doubt I agree politically with those individuals very much at all, but I still support their rights to pursue legitimate political action, rather than rioting.

So they should have put up the voting booths as soon as the riot started and all the looters would have formed a line to register to vote and not steal TV sets?

No. Y'all can continue to extrapolate contrived meanings of what I said. What I'm saying is that there isn't anything wrong with setting up voting booths, particularly in a time of political outrage. It is a formative outlet for those kind of feelings (justified or not) rather than a destructive one.
