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

[Cha]

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 fuck with Ferguson.. but, what do I expect from racists and bigots.

[font color=red]Edit:[/font] I thought twice about posting this.. "ignore or expose?".. I decided to go with shaming racist assholes.

[spanone]

1. a fool, i.e. racist, and his money.....

this asshole just lives down the road from me in tennessee....fuck him

[Cha]

4. It's sad how ignorant hate drives some people to do such stupid things.

spanone

[JaneyVee]

2. I don't want to raise my kids in this fucking world sometimes

The hate and racism is fucking putrid.

[Cha]

7. There's lots and lots of People who find racism and bigotry unacceptable, Janey.. all we can

do is know that Love Wins!

[JaneyVee]

8. Thank you Cha! It's true. Love kills the demon.

I never give up hope or optimism, its what keeps me fighting for a better tomorrow.

[Cha]

10. Never Never Never Give UP!

[arcane1]

3. That's not activism or patriotism. That's just being a childish asshole.

WTF is wrong with people.

[spanone]

5. racists are motivated assholes

[Cha]

16. Aren't they just, spanone.. driven to the point of insanity.

[Cha]

15. Their ignorant hate drives them batshite, arcane. :(

[Marr]

40. That's what the right-wing has slowly devolved into.

It's basically become the 4chan of politics.

[arcane1]

45. Like those idiots who burn tires on Earth Day.

[Odin2005]

61. "The 4chan of politics" !!!

[Electric Monk]

55. Yeah, exactly. It's not "conservative", it's just intentionally offensive and rude. nt

[randys1]

6. Go to twitter and look at the response

https://twitter.com/hashtag/NoJusticeNoPeace?src=hash

[Cha]

9. Thanks for this, randy..

[damnedifIknow]

11. Hey Don

Your money would be better spent on education since obviously you're an ignorant sob.

[Cha]

17. Yes, a crash course in Humanity seems to be in order for Mr Don "I'll broadcast my Assholery on a

Billboard" Alexander.

[sheshe2]

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.

[brer cat]

14. "they are inciting a 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.

[sheshe2]

33. I know brer cat.

Dammit!

Yes I am sending them vibes as well.

[Cha]

19. That's what I edited in the OP, she.. I was hesitant to even post this but I decided to

go with Not Ignoring.. instead Exposing and Shaming Mr Don Alexander.

It's exactly what these words on the Billboard are intent on doing.. Exciting a riot so they can point to that as a way(in their stupid reasoning)to rationalize their riot gear.. If Wilson gets off.

[sheshe2]

30. Yup it happened before and it is happening again.

This scares me Cha, it really does because it may be far worse than 50 years ago. They are to many people with an agenda the media and the people I listed above are inciting this. They are fueling it in a way that did not happen 50 years ago.

I am scared Cha.

[Cha]

35. The US "media" wants ratings.. they don't care how they get it.. War abroad or War at home.. and the

goPropaganda machine insists on it.

Michael Brown

Thoughts and Prayers for Ferguson, she..

[handmade34]

13. Don Alexander of Brentwood, TN

is an ass

[Spazito]

18. Scum, Don Alexander is racist scum and probably a scammer as well...

if, and it's a BIG if, such a billboard does go up the advertising company responsible will pay a BIG price. I'm betting it is more likely it doesn't go up and the racists that donated will be out of pocket due to their stupidity.

Edited to insert the correct name of the racist scum.

[Cha]

21. Aloha, Spazito..

"I'm betting it is more likely it doesn't go up and the racists that donated will be out of pocket due to their stupidity."

[Spazito]

22. Oops, thanks for the correction, will edit my post now!

Thanks for the OP, what this racist scum, Don Alexander, is trying to foment should be known.

[Cha]

23. Yes, it should be known.. as ugly as it is.. him and his billboard contributors.

I'll edit mine too.

[joshcryer]

48. My thought as well.

No way that it would end well for the billboard company.

[Ykcutnek]

20. Exhibit #9,000: Some people have too much disposable income. nt

[Cha]

25. Don Alexander got his racist asshole buddies to contrubute to "GoFundMe" to gather up $3000

to display on a giant billboard just how racist they are.

[kelliekat44]

24. I believe Anonymous might have something to say about the twitter account? nt

[Cha]

29. Yeah, they're not too fond of the KKK.. mahalo Kellie

[randys1]

26. As I said, TENS OF MILLIONS OF RACISTS inhabit this country...

[heaven05]

42. and tens of millions

will FIGHT them every inch of the way. They, people like this billboard ass.... are the dogshit cowards and you'll see that soon enough.

[CANDO]

27. Then just obtain some oxycetaline torches and bring the fucker down

Problem solved. If they put up another, burn it/cut it/tear it down.

[TeeYiYi]

28. Hands Up, Don't Shoot!...

Someone should pay for this billboard.

TYY

[Cha]

36. Really Tee! That's more like it. :(

[Gothmog]

31. This is a really offensive concept

Any billboard or advertising agency that accepts this commission needs to be held to account

[Cha]

53. Don Alexander is asking for trouble with the stupid meme that he's gathered money

for to put on a billboard.

Hopefully it will be rejected, Gothmog!

[wheniwasincongress]

32. Low riding pants

are a serious threat to racists...

[Cha]

37. Yes, they are wiwic.

[freshwest]

34. Property records will show who put the billboards up for purposes of shaming. But don't stop them:

First, let 'em put them up in order to make the case the area is so racist it affects prosecutions of black people there.

As if the evidence wasn't damning enough already.

Second, let 'em show their sorry asses for the whole world to see. Let the KKK incite for all they're worth online, just in order to record their names and ISPs.

Give 'em a lotta attention!

IMHO.

[Cha]

38. They would not remain "anonymous", freswest.. thank you for this. :(

[Cha]

39. Sorry, I have to leave for awhile.. just wanted to expose this racist inciteful crap.

[heaven05]

41. I guarantee you

this jerk is KKK and chomping at the bit to do another Rosewood on the black people of ferguson.....I wish I lived close, I would do some inciting myself.....just would be in the direction of folks like this.

[Cha]

46. If not the KKK is working on recruiting his ugly racist ass as we speak, heaven..

[KMOD]

43. I really don't know how to respond to this,

except to say I'm sick and disgusted.

[nc4bo]

44. Paintball gun target practice.....

or perhaps some of our more creative graffiti artists can have at it.

Surprised Anonymous hasn't exposed this piece of racist trash's personals and exposed all the LEO's on that messageboard who helped raise the cash.

[Cha]

47. Excellent thought.. "paintball" it!

"Surprised Anonymous hasn't exposed this piece of racist trash's personals and exposed all the LEO's on that messageboard who helped raise the cash."

Yeah, we'll see if it actually sees the light of day on a billboard.

[nc4bo]

49. That would be 3k down the drain....

and much satisfaction.

You know what else Cha? I see just as many white kids walking around saggin' but I guess that point is lost on the racist. Goes right in line with those lazy black welfare queens having babies, collecting checks and buying prime rib with their SNAP cards....when the stats say otherwise.

Sometimes it just makes me want to throw up my hands.

[Cha]

50. "$3000" or more.. the crowdfunding is still going on in hopes of leaving it up as long as

possible.. it'd great to have it all go down the waste disposal!

Racist fucks don't care that a Black kid was shot down in the street.. "we'll just put this up on the billboard to show they deserve it"..

[X_Digger]

51. How dare that billboard company publish a message that folks don't like?!!?!!

And we should totally boycott any publishers who publish books we don't like..

Wait.. that's all of them, you say? Hrmmm. Didn't think this through..

[Cha]

52. Yeah yeah.. we get it.. you're all for it. BFD

[X_Digger]

57. Popular speech needs no protection- it's popular. n/t

[heaven05]

59. "popular" speakers

are too cowardly to be taken as a threat. Speech is protected, true, yet woe if this racist fuck runs into the wrong person. And a question for you, if you were standing by this racist fuck when he ran into that "wrong person" would you try to protect him?

[X_Digger]

63. Absolutely. I'd also protect a nazi's right to speak, or a greenpeace activist, or.. n/t

[heaven05]

64. I bet you would

If I was standing in a crowd I'd tell the nazi, white supremacist or kkk speaker to STFU, would you have a problem with that?

[X_Digger]

65. Nope, that's your right, too. n/t

[branford]

66. As a believer in the 1A akin to the ACLU,

I would support your right to tell them to STFU, and their right to tell you to STFU and keep on talking. Political speech, no matter how vile, has the greatest protections under our Constitution. Google "skokie nazi march" for all the explanation you may require.

Anyone who engages in violence because they do not like what someone said, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

And to the extent you or others even think about implying I'm sympathetic to Nazis or the KKK, note that I lost much of my family in the Holocaust and find these individuals and groups to be little more than social excrement. However, they still have rights. I never want to live where the government decides what you're permitted to say or print.

[heaven05]

67. Okay

I do have an understanding that you are a man with faith in our government, it's laws, it's established rights and principles of democracy and the Constitution. That is understandable of a person in your position because I know the privilege you can and have gleaned from those rights, laws and principles. I on the other hand have lived with a government of false pretension, alleged democracy and fairness for all, lived with hypocrisy and murder based on those false pretensions and especially those notions of white superiority against alleged black inferiority that was spoken out loud and acted upon, with extreme violence, for many, many decades. And none of those people involved, in this extreme violence were ever prosecuted. There has been unbalanced and biased justice in this country from its inception that has continued to this very day. Your notions of prosecution being meted out fairly are admirable in principle, but in fact hollow. The proof was and still is the continuing murder, by hanging, castration, burning, dragging behind moving vehicles till the body tears apart and shooting of innocent and unarmed people of color that has lingered to this day. This government and many of it's citizens proceeded on the notion of black inferiority for many, many decades, took a small step back from the hypocrisy in the 60's and since the 80's, has been reinstituting that hypocrisy, with the help of SCOTUS and culminating in the vote of Nov 4 2014.

As a a man who's family was attacked by KKK and who's grandmother was shot, not fatally, I say the "social excrement" who shot at her with intentions to kill her, my grandfather, three young sons and a young daughter deserved to get shots returned and they did and they ran like the "cowardly human excrement they are. So, the point is, I have not been living in a cave for the last six decades of my life, Skokie is well understood, by me, in it's implications concerning freedom to speak and demonstrate ignorance and vileness. Hell Facebook responses about the ongoing persecution of poor executioner wilson proves that to me everyday. I can relate to the Holocaust because of the forced diaspora of Africans by the europeans and the portuguese. And I have studied the Holocaust intensely as well, since I have always known, by our continuing Holocaust, it could happen to people of color in this country on a mass scale easily. That's why I feel comfortable in my america is drifting fascist ideas that are being firmly set in stone by the RW of this country. And yes that RW has the right to spout their vile ideology of hate and separation. As america drifts more and more fascist, they will continue to act upon their vile notions of racial superiority and inferiority with no consequence....i.e., Sanford, Cincinatti, NYC and soon ferguson's wilson The RW mentality behind these shooting and murders recently are proving that fact among many other 'incidents'. Your principled and idealized concept of fair and balanced attitudes toward that "social excrement" just makes me feel hollow inside. I have no empathy, compassion or thoughts of mercy toward them, just the deepest contempt. I always give back what received, in triplicate. No more waiting for 'pie in the sky'. You google that.


Well your fair and balanced justice system is well on the way to releasing this clown wilson back into society like he's some kind of hero. It's not a fair and balanced justice system of all people just fair and balanced for some of the people. You're right, it has always been a fact that people like the kkk and nazis can speak their mind about blacks, yet when a black starts pointing out the evil of white society's "social, human excrement", he's angry and dangerous. Always has been the case.

After January I expect nothing but cowardice and insanity to reign free in this country for at least the next two years. Democrats kowtowing to the RW fascist steamroller and republicans jack booting any liberal, progressive or person of color that gets in their way and that will be with the acquiescence of a majority of the voting public.

You have a government that will watch out for your rights, guaranteed, so far. I cannot be firm in any belief that a person of color is going to get the same privileges, ever, that you enjoy. Yours is a government for some of the people. The Constitution was written and has been proven to benefit, some of the people all of the time and a lot of the people none of the time. I cannot care, if in your privilege and protection by the law, Constitution and other benefits, you cannot see or agree with that fact.

[Enrique]

58. it isn't a message

it's purely a taunt. I don't think any billboard company would put such a thing up.

[jwirr]

54. I do not see how the cops and people who support them can fall any lower. This is really a sad

period for America.

[Cha]

56. Yes It IS, jwirr.. The Racist Cops and Wilson Supporters are showing their Ugly Racism to the World

Michael Brown

[UglyGreed]

60. Speechless

hate in this country just grows and grows.

[Tsiyu]

62. Is Don Alexander gonna put one of these up on Wall Street, too?

This is what kills me about the KKK idiots, whether in TN or elsewhere. They are ALL ABOUT looking at other races and seeing all of their flaws so clearly.

But when it comes to shit white people do - the same shit that other races do - they suddenly become cowards in the first degree.

Only a handful of Ferguson's protesters looted. Most were peaceful and responsible. But Don Alexander, being the perfect specimen of Caucasian perfectness that he obviously must be, has decided that every one is a looter.

Not only does this make him an idiot who cannot see what is right in front of his eyes, but it makes him a pure racist loser, because Whites have done far more looting - of our treasury, of people's retirement funds, of employee pay - than all the not white people in America could have ever done.

So is Don Alexander gonna put up one of those signs on Wall Street, to remind the bankers not to loot any more?

Because the tenuous economic situation most Americans find themselves in is NOT due to Black people in Ferguson. The blame rests solely on WHITE OWNED CORPORATE TOOLS.

But poor, dumb little Brentwood, TN Don Alexander is so damned stupid he really thinks he is making a difference.

Don, honey, the only thing you're doing is making TN look worse than it already does. The rest of the US already knows our state is full of mouthbreathers and morans.

Thanks, Don, for proving it.
