Forty-eight pieces of rabble, four dozen of America’s least desirables, were arrested, not least the childishly insecure “Prof.” Cornel West.
The wild-haired symbol of failed contemporary American education had been starved to return to the pages of America’s newspapers.
One of our country’s silliest B-grade personalities, Westy declared that he came to Ferguson to be arrested. Nobility, may it never die.
During the ‘90s, Westy, you may recall, one of our country’s most obnoxious racist heads. For awhile he made a living suing Ivy League schools for not promoting him, allegedly because of his color. Turned out to be true – his red neck made him off-limits for self-respecting educators. Soon, though, jelly-doughnut liberals among the Ivies began crumbling to their well-worn knees, humbly begging Westy’s forgiveness for overlooking his invisible talent.
Meawhile, the worst of America’s racist radicals – overwhelmingly unemployed because they are work-allergic – continue to dance through the streets of Ferguson and St. Louis because even couch potatoes can become stifled by boredom.
Two months after the punk criminal Mike Brown robbed a store and shortly was confronted by a cop, the almost criminally lethargic community of Ferguson has turned into an old-fashioned circus. Almost from the second day, professionals seized control. Steered by hard-rock buffoons masquerading as wronged citizens, we hope law enforcement has the stomach, and the weapons, to wrestle the clowns to the ground and keep them there.
