On Monday night, as the sack of Ferguson was just getting underway, President Obama appeared on television to make a lackluster appeal for decorum. (His remarks were broadcast in split-screen, with the gathering riot on one side and Mr. Obama on the other; the juxtaposition made for some memorable TV.)
Writing at City Journal, Heather Mac Donald comments on what the President said, and what he might he have said instead. You can read her column here.

I have a feeling that this Ferguson thing will eventually take on more of an Occupy feel pretty soon. After all, the same loons are in the back ground just off camera and the use of college children keeps the thing oh so–what’s the word–juvenile.
