Don't overlook the financial incentives for the businesses. That car lot looks like an insurance fraud job. Yes, "The System" creates these kinds of crimes of greed, it's the riot that provides a perfect, plausible backdrop. We'll likely never know how many of these places were looted or torched with the aid or blessings of the "owners". For me the issue of wanton destruction and violence, supposedly to "honor" Mr. Brown, is sheer madness. I don't see much reason to debate the "causes" of such outrageous mass behavior which was clearly planned long in advance. People know right from wrong. Everyone who stole, assaulted or destroyed during the protests was wrong.
I feel bad for the guy that got robbed my micheal brown. first that and now this happened to the guys store last night
Guess it was his fault this whole thing started. If he had just let him take those cigars so he could roll blunts with maybe this would not have happened. Sarcastic comment if anyone didn't pick that up.
there was actually a news person that said that last night...she said they should have just let him take the cigarillos lol....i cant believe how stupid these news reporters are....also they really need to be blasted in the face with tear gas so they can understand the difference between smoke grenades and ACTUAL teargas before they start reporting that shit
I know a couple of people from CNN last night were actually hit with some tear gas, was entertaining.
it is actually too bad people decide to loot and riot after events like this because it takes away from the protestors who have valid points. so instead of realizing that there are communities in america that have never quite recovered from slavery and Jim Crow laws, people just end up assuming the black community deserves what they get because they're just a bunch of thieving animals. I would also like to remind some of you historically it isn't just black people who participate in violent unrest. In any society violence such as displayed by the riots in Ferguson is usually a big red flag that there is a disconnect between the oppressed and the oppressors.
Some photos of the destruction... Provocateurs who came from across the country don't give a damn if you have a place to do business or a place to go to work and earn your pay the next day. http://abc7.com/uncategorized/photos-from-ferguson-missouri/409649/#gallery-74
This was Little Caesar's Pizza in Ferguson, MO This is a self-storage facility with peoples belongings. This was Juanita's Fashion Boutique The beauty supply store Poor Ferguson.
Here's a statement from the chief of police in Ferguson. Gov. Jay Nixon issued a statement saying he was calling in more National Guard troops to assist law enforcement in Ferguson, but he didn't say how many additional troops or how long they would remain. Jon Belmar, chief of the St. Louis County police, said that unless his agency could bring in 10,000 officers, "I don't think we can prevent folks who really are intent on destroying a community." http://www.startribune.com/nation/283800261.html
How disgraceful. The people should be ashamed of themselves. I hope karma comes back like a bitch. I'd not lose sleep if this town was fenced off and erryone involved can rot.
Fucken morons out here are sitting in the middle of the streets blocking traffic and causing a fucken ruckus
Im glad he walked, He was only doing his job dealing with total idiots it seems! I hope he turns around and sues the fuck out of the brown family for not being able to continue his profession! But, As usual, Next week the same fucking animals who tore up their cage, Will be looking for "handouts" to fix what they just got done tearing up. I hope they leave the shit hole as is, let them live in what they obviously are, TRASH! No fucking 'fix this or that', Its on YOU dumb fucks!
