No one is quite sure yet if a grand jury will indict Darren Wilson, the officer who fatally shot Michael Brown. But one thing is almost for sure: If they don’t, Ferguson and surrounding St. Louis, Missouri, areas will face widespread protests and looting once again.
Local businesses have been bracing themselves for the possible fallout, many of which have called in armed forces to help them out. More than 300 private military contractors have been hired by Ferguson-area locals in anticipation of more looting, reported Vice News.
Jared Ogden, director of operations for Asymmetric Solutions, a private military contractor staffed by former special operations forces, was one such private military contractor who has been tapped to help prevent the widespread Ferguson looting and protests that are expected to take place.
“We’ve got our hands in a bunch things… If you are a business owner and you are in the business of selling firearms and you’re in an area where shops have been looted, burned down, property stolen, you now have the responsibility to society to ensure to do everything possible to make sure that those firearms do not get into the hands of the wrong people.”
Asymmetric Solution, used to working in more exotic locations, tweeted about how shocked they were to have been called upon to combat looting in Ferguson....

....because the police stand around with their hands in their pockets.
You seem to have forgotten what precipitated the current situation in the first place.
In the Rodney King riots that is exactly what they did.
Mike Brown?
PLUS, the “Just Us” Dept and Obama are EGGING THEM ON!!!
You guessed it.
FK that POS website.
Everytime I try to close the ad, so it stops covering my phone screen, it takes me to the ad website.
Can’t read the article....
What or who is Merch?
Merchandise perhaps ...
Fee fie fo FUN, let’s all go to Ferguson!
All praise our Dear Leader for creating shovel ready jobs!!!
Bad headline, bad site, and only a nerd would use the word, “merch.” Nothing’s happening in Ferguson. And it’s doubtful that commandos (”Delta Force” in cartoon and “action figure” circles) have any mission there in Al Jolson disguise. They’re more likely sleeping in preparation for another day of running around ranges in preppy civilian vehicles and attire.
Let’s face it, Ferguson is dead. Would you open a business there? Would you insure a business that opened there? Would you buy a house there, and bring your family there? At this point, would you even drive through there?
Even if there is no further “civil unrest”, the city of Ferguson stands in the public consciousness as a byword for looting and mayhem.
If I lived there, I would sell for whatever I could get and cut out.
Don’t forget the casket ‘n bag makers, the window-pane people, locksmiths and gunsmiths, fire insurance, auto claims adjustors,.....why, there’s so much activity, they’re going to create inflation if they aren’t careful.
The police hands are tied by PC thanks to the King in DC.
New mini-Detroit
Why stay? This is a gtfo scenario if I ever saw one. Leave the town to the animals and let them rebuild it in their own image. In 20 years they can move back, sweep up the ashes and rebuild.
