I’m trying to decide what is the most absurd story to come out of this week’s protests over the Ferguson, Missouri, grand jury. Our first contestant is the group of fashionably progressive hipsters from NYC in their designer clothes and shoes, latest iPhones in hand, carrying shopping bags, bottled water and protest signs denouncing capitalism and the “capitalist police” and capitalist courts. I’d bet a week’s pay that there wasnt one handmade shirt in that anti-capitalist clique that wasn’t made by the hands of under-aged Third World garment workers. Our second contender is Elizabeth Vega, one of the major agitators on the scene in Ferguson, who spent Monday night leading an anti-police rally where she fired up the crowd into chanting, “F--- the police!” When it was all over, she walked back to where she’d parked her car and discovered it had been stolen. Wonder who she reported that crime to? Her friendly neighborhood community organizer? But after the past 48 hours, it’s become clear that there’s no contest. The most absurd protesters in American are all those who demand justice while baying for mob rule; who claim to oppose the unjust targeting of the innocent while burning and looting small businesses with no connection to the case; and who posture as champions of African-Americans while destroying businesses owned by African-Americans, that serve African-Americans, and that employ African-Americans. If the Governor of Missouri isn’t willing to arrest them for rioting, looting and arson, then how about at least throwing them in jail for felony hypocrisy? Mike Huckabee
