MO - Grief & protests follow shooting of teen Michael Brown #22

[Solitaryone]

They seem to understand how fire works when lighting businesses on fire or throwing Molotov cocktails at police men's bodies, but candles and flames suddenly a mystery.

Think about the incredible restraint these officers must have. I'm a calm person, and not there being threatened, and I'm angry.

My concern is they feel constrained by Holder. :stormingmad:

How long will they let Holder constrain them? I'd think that long before now they'd tell Holder to f-off.

Can someone explain why exactly they are taking it out on the shop owners on W. Florrisant?

Whether it's deemed justfied or unjustified, these shop owners had nothing to do with the death of MB.

Because they can and everyone is out to get them? #nobusinessasusual

Police have retreated back across the street. Protestors chanting "Mike Brown means we got to fight back."

Not getting this. They break in and loot a Beauty Shop, the police respond and they are saying they have to fight back.

Police were asking to talk to the leader. Cameraman says there is no leader.

No! Stop rioting and go home!

Always LE's fault, unless it's some other someone else's fault.

So, I wonder what they think is going to happen if police move back? Let's assume that the police say, "I give up." and go home, leaving the entire town to police itself. What then? Are these lunatics going to just rob, loot, and burn until a citizen is forced to shoot and kill them? Then what? Will others then protest the shooting of the looters? This has reached insane proportions. They need to start arresting these people now. Every single one of them.

I wonder if the insurance companies that are insuring these businesses are going to allow these continued claims, or will they start refusing to insure properties in this area? Just a thought.

Actually someone posted something the other week. An article I think that stated most business owners wouldn't be getting claims paid b/c "looting" is considered "terrorism," which is an additional rider. Meaning they be SOL.

The protesters are advancing on the officers.

I say leave Ferguson to police itself! When SHTF, they will beg for police protection.

'cause LE doesn't care anymore . . . DOJ is supposedly in control & they are all going to have to reapply for their jobs in a different district, so why sacrifice yourself for this cr@p!

Ignorance & lack of job/school to go to in the morning
