Another, "I can't believe" this shit out of Furguson

"The judge in Ferguson, Missouri, who is accused of fixing traffic tickets for himself and colleagues while inflicting a punishing regime of fines and fees on the city’s residents, also owes more than $170,000 in unpaid taxes.

Ronald J Brockmeyer, whose court allegedly jailed impoverished defendants unable to pay fines of a few hundred dollars, has a string of outstanding debts to the US government dating back to 2007, according to tax filings obtained by the Guardian from authorities in Missouri."

Seventy year old white (naturally) judge who put the hammer down on the blacks appearing before his bench, can't seem to pay the government monies he owes in back taxes.

Now I ask - does this look like a guy who would be prejudiced toward poor, black people

His head probably gives the hood body and lift, makes the point stand up straight and all that. You know, like the stuffing in a pillow...and just as smart.

Mr. Swirly?



Who needs a hood when he can give himself a radical 'do with that too-long-on-top white mop on top of his head.
