HANDS UP, DON’T LOOT!

I wasn’t going to do this, but I’m sick of the nonsense coming out of Ferguson, Missouri!  People in Ferguson are behaving like a bunch of Troglodytes, without principles, scruples or common sense.

What kind of person would think that criminal behavior should be condoned, just because they’re angry?  Fergusonites are screaming and hollering about how the laws need to be changed – but changed to what?  To make it LEGAL to rob, loot, pillage and plunder?  That’s certainly the picture the world is seeing in Ferguson! 

(Now - please understand, I'm not saying that all cops are innocent, either!  There are "bad apples" on ALL sides!  But my intent for writing this is to show that much of the time, people bring problems on themselves through their own bad behavior.)

Somehow, it’s being shoved under the carpet that Michael Brown, before his death, had just robbed a store and bullied the owner – and was about to be arrested - and then he ended up dead because of his own actions toward a policeman.  Officer Wilson didn’t just drive up and shoot a poor, innocent victim kneeling on the pavement with his “hands up” as people would like you to believe (it's now a proven fact that some of the "witnesses" LIED!); he ended up in an altercation with a bully who had just robbed a store and was being completely uncooperative and even resorting to physical violence! 

YES, it’s very sad that Brown ended up being killed (he was clearly a lost person, and it's sad that he had to die under those circumstances, because he not only lost his life, but also his chance at eternal life....); but let’s stop white-washing the situation and start telling it like it is.  Brown was NOT exactly a bastion of virtue!  He was a BULLY and a thief!  That much was evidenced by the fact that his actions were caught on video....

What’s worse,  Fergusonites quickly turned this into a racial issue (spurred on by our President who seems to love to keep playing the “race card” to get people fired up).  And then they’re out there demanding the laws be changed.  Changed to WHAT?  To ALLOW criminal behavior to go unchallenged?  To allow robbing, looting and pillaging and destruction of property without any repercussions?  YES, there a bully policemen who are mean to people, but how would that justify violence against local business owners?  How does that justify breaking, entering and stealing the property of others?  What civilized, intelligent person honestly believes it’s OKAY to resort to violence against INNOCENTS just because they are angry?  HOW does it make sense to destroy, blow up or burn the businesses in your OWN neighborhood – just because you’re trying to make a statement?  That is NOT how YHWH wants humanity to behave!

There is a name for people who behave like that:  HOODLUMS!  The only difference between the rioters in Ferguson and ISIS, is that Fergusonites haven’t yet resorted to beheading or killing innocent business owners (although they might as well have because they have certainly ruined some lives by taking away someone’s livelihood – those BULLIES!)  Demonic behavior is demonic behavior; there is NO excuse for it!  If you want laws to change, there are ways to change them without resorting to violence and rampant idiocy.  We have a RIGHT to assemble and voice our opinions in the U.S.; we do NOT have a “right” to go around BREAKING the law! 

The rules are simple:  If you don’t want to get bothered by law enforcement, then DON’T COMMIT A CRIME.  Keep your MOUTH SHUT when a policeman is trying to talk to you.  Telling him to go “f- - -“ himself like Michael Brown did with Officer Wilson, is NOT the way a normal human being should behave.  But, what we keep seeing, time and time again, is rioters provoking police and then when they’re arrested, then quickly insist “I didn’t do anything.” 

People, the bottom line is:  If Brown hadn’t committed a crime and then gone on to smart off to a police officer, he would still be alive, and none of this would have happened.  He would have been ARRESTED for THEFT!  Would the Fergusonites have rioted then, demanding Brown's "right" to steal and bully store owners?  Judging from their behavior, that's what they're wanting:  The legal right to loot, pillage and plunder....

HANDS UP, DON’T LOOT!  The things those thugs stole from the stores they broke into are NOT theirs to keep!  They committed a CRIME!

The Bible tells us these things would happen - and they certainly are!  People today are behaving exactly as they did "in the days of Noah" - just before YHWH destroyed the earth by Flood!

2 Timothy 3: 1. But know this: That in the latter days hard times will come:  2. and men will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, unyielding towards their own people, deniers of grace, wicked,  3. unloving, addicted to irreconcilable malicious gossips, ferocious, haters of the good,  4. treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of Elohim,  5. having a form of respect for Elohim but wide from the power of Elohim. Them who are such, repel from you.  6. For of them are they who creep into this and that house and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts,  7. who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth.  (AENT)

Okay, rant over.  Let's keep ALL "lost folks" in our prayers so they can see the error of their ways and begin to do things according to GOD's will!  The way things are going now, all we are doing is sending the whole earth into the pits of hell.
