The Left has been gushing over President Obama’s speech in Selma and comparisons between the monumental civil rights demonstrations there and the Ferguson protests are all over the place.

The comparisons didn’t sit well with some.
Michael Brown isn't dead because he tried to vote. Michael Brown is dead because he assaulted a shopkeeper and a police officer. Period.

Ferguson wasn't about racial injustice. If it was there would be marches outside the DOJ & White House. Oddly there aren't.

Ferguson was about leftist injustice. The mob failed.

Not unlike the cop car crapper movement, @redsteeze.

@redsteeze Michael Brown is not dead because of the color of his skin. He's dead because of the content of his character. #tcot #YeahISaidIt
