Boy, I can't wait to see what else Ferguson comes up with to deal with its obviously criminal citizenry - cutting the hands off thieves? Branding the foreheads of adulterers? Making bedwetters wear wet pajamas to school? Can't start with the humiliations early enough, you know, if you want a polite society!

Jeeez . . . how long has that poor guy been that cell? Just for letting his horse canter on Main Street?

If you haven't started the voter ID application process yet, you're screwed anyhow.

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

In Ferguson's defense, it's not as though simply being black is enough to send you to prison. It's got to be coupled with something else serious, like driving suspiciously, or walking suspiciously, or looking uppity. You know, bad stuff like that.

You wouldn't believe what they do to black people who try to <i>walk</i> through!
