#1 Nor is stealing from employees with "dues" according to this piece of shit.

Then me shooting him in the face isn't a crime as he has life insurance and his family will be set up, right? Same idea isn't it?

#2 Turnabout is fair play. Watch what you wish for. Robbing your house is not wrong either in your bizarre world.

#4 This has nothing to do with money and everything to do with establishing an ugly environment.

This is merely an extension of Trayvon Martin and "hands up don't shoot" mythos. The idea is to establish a precedent that black people can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to white people and white people should not be permitted to resist in any way. Period.

Once you understand that this is REALLY what this pastor and everyone else Ike him are really all about - black privilege to be above the law - you understand the real danger of this sort of talk.

#5 Freelance Socialism. Sharing the wealth AND tearing down the rules. Its a natural evolution of the left mindset.

Credible qualifications.

#7 Stealing is stealing--it does not follow some boneheaded theory of legal relativism. How does he feel about prison rape? Is it O.K. too?

#8  the notion that communities should decide for themselves which laws be enforced and which laws are not in order to better recognize what safety means for the specific community.

Gee, sounds to me like the basis of all governments. Whether the community decides on a form of democracy, autocracy or tyranny is immaterial.

His question really seems to be the definition of community. Here we have towns, states and feds. As a good tribalist he seems to want separate governments at a much finer granularity.........exactly what community does he lead?

Sounds like academic justification for his desire for his personal tyranny, no?

#9 "Insurance" is the excuse for down playing theft. It's still taking part of one's life, one spent accumulating the resources to procure the goods or property and is never equal to the full costs. It's like taking time from someone's life, a life that is finite and never really recoverable. It's really not a crime against 'property' but against 'life'.

#10 So what happens when there's no stores in the melanin+law areas?

#11 BP, the socialists will just rewrite the commerce laws like they did with banking, forcing business to (take loses) open stores in such areas. When you go full blown central planning from the party headquarters capital, it's easy when you play with other people's money and resources (and then you wonder why the rich spend so much money corrupting the system buying politicans).

#12 The Supreme Court has already held that it is OK for unions to break the law. This is just a natural extension of that reasoning.

#13 Democrats, communists, thieves...same thing.

#14 He went on to Princeton Theological Seminary where he earned a Masters of Divinity in Christian Ethics and a Masters of Theology in Social Ethics. Mitchell was awarded the prestigious Princeton Presidential Fellowship and Princeton Seminary’s Jane Swoop Christian Ethics Award for the class of 2003. He also served as the Executive Administrator for the Imani Community Center.UW Bio

I suspect the Christian Ethics is from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright school and the Social Ethics is from the Community Organizer's book of rules. Mentored, no doubt, by Champ, himself.

#15 So, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has insurance, right?
(YARD SALE!!!!)

#16 Does Wal-Mart get a say in which laws are enforced, as well Mr. Mitchell?

Sure they do: "I quit."

#17 Which community sets the standards? The nation, the state, the city, the people who live nearby, the people who shop there, the people who get caught stealing?

If the local community gets to set whatever standards they please, does that mean "Don't let the sun set on you here" signs are permissible?

I gather that whatever Mitchell learned at law school went in one ear and out the other.
...
That's odd: his church has a "Mime ministry". Not the most felicitous phrasing, but I think I get the idea.

#18 The federal government's decided that laws on evicting illegals aren't enforced and local governments have decided that upholding laws protecting the country from illegal invaders are not to be upheld either.
