bigtree appreciation thread

bigtree has been posting some really good posts overnight from Ferguson. They tell a great narrative and are quite informative for those of us wanting to catch up on what went down overnight.

Thanks bigtree for doing such a great job with this and your dedication to getting first-hand reports to us unfiltered.

full of essential pics and videos. Putting together such posts is very time-consuming.

. . .just picked my head up from updating latest tweet/pic Ferguson thread and saw THIS!

Wow. If ever I needed a vote of confidence, it's right at this moment.

Thank you to every one who responded to and rec'ed this thread for showing me just how lucky I am to have found this place in 2003. My admiration for the dedication, commitment, and tenacity of posters here has no bounds.

And, then, this . . .almost speechless.

I want to take this moment and thank each and every one of you for your own adherence to principle and values in every expression of your advocacy and activism. I couldn't find a more worthy group anywhere on the planet and I'm privileged to interact here with you all.

So many thanks again for this exceedingly kind show of support and appreciation!

Now, let's get back to work, you hear?

but unlike many other posters (yes, that includes you, Ms. Obama Loyalist), I always feel that he is genuinely open to real discussion and debate. He is a truth-seeker.
