Darren Wilson Supporter Plans On Purchasing “Pants Up, Don’t Loot” Billboard Near Ferguson.. FFS:(
   
 

snip//

In a willful attempt to incite further racial tensions in and around Ferguson, a resident of Tennessee has announced that he’s reached his crowdfunding goal of $3,000 to purchase and display a billboard using the conservative hashtag #HandsUpDontLoot. The meme, which was made popular by right-wing publication National Review, is a play on the popular Ferguson protest chant “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” that refers to witnesses stating that unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown had his hands up when Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot him.

Don Alexander of Brentwood, TN used the crowdfunding source IndieGoGo to raise the necessary funds to purchase a billboard for one month to display in the St. Louis area. Per his IndieGoGo page, a local billboard company has agreed to display the billboard and will charge $2,500 for 30 days. Alexander also states that others may charge less for the billboard. If so, and donations continue to come in, the billboard will stay up as long as possible. He also claims that the billboard company he is in agreement with needs to remain anonymous so as to not receive any threats.


"This crowdfunding campaign is for the purchase of a billboard in the Ferguson, MO area. The billboard will display black text on a white background with the text “#PantsUPDontLoot”. After some initial confusion we are working with other, undisclosed companies in the area that are willing to create and display this image. The funds collected from this campaign will be used to purchase this billboard for as long as possible. Lamar originally quoted us ~$2,500 for 1 month but others have come in under that amount. Whatever funds we receive will go directly to keeping the billboard campaign up as long as possible. If we come to an agreement with a company and can fund it for 3 months, 5 months, 7 months…, we will."

It remains to be seen if the billboard actually goes up. I find it hard to believe that an advertising company would actually risk the bad publicity that would come with agreeing to display such an incendiary advertisement. The company that agreed to do this would essentially be committing business suicide. Maybe they’d feel they could make up the amount of business they’d lose by bringing in the race-baiting conservative crowd, but I doubt that the amount of negative public attention the company would receive could be overcome.

MOre..

Like Jason Baragona says in his article.. this is would only incite racial tensions even more.. like Ferguson needs that. It's despicable and deplorably insensitive.. coming over from Tennessee to **** with Ferguson.. but, what do I expect from racists and bigots. 

Michael Brown

Edit: I thought twice about posting this.. "ignore or expose?".. I decided to go with shaming racist assholes.

12. The news seems to be going from bad to worse.

First the Police Chief then the KKK now Alexander all seeming to throw fuel on the fire. Sounds to me like they are inciting a riot and hope to see as many bodies as possible.

This is ugly and racist.

Good Op exposing the racist bastards, Cha.

Then don't riot.

is exactly what is going to happen, she, and the riots will be used to justify killing as many people as possible. It is disgusting and all the authorities are making it worse not better.

Prayers and good vibes to the people of Ferguson.

K&R, Cha.

No justice! No peace!

People must be inclined to violence to let one sign on a bill board incite them to violence.  The looters in Ferguson will be violent regardless of the sign.

There will probably be violence regardless of what the Grand Jury decides, too.  The race baiters have tempers riled to a fever pitch and burning and looting is all that will calm them.

??I think it's an honest plea for peace and quiet.

If 0bamaites would hitch up their trousers and act civilized, they'd have no problem with the POlice.

Of all riots that have taken place in Ferguson, not a single pair of work boots were reported stolen.

Coincidence?

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
