The last thing any govt official wants is armed honest people defending themselves from criminals. They might come after him next.

I don’t believe our business insurance covers riots. I would bet a lot of policies don’t.

I noticed that a parking lot full of cars was torched. Most insurance policies don’t cover that kind of destruction......................Now the ones who have jobs can’t get to work and still have to pay for a burned out car they don’t have......................

Watch. Before long there will be a litany of complaints that the town of Ferguson has become a “RETAIL DESERT” and there is no place for the black population to find the articles they require for their daily lives.

Is there a Walmart in Furgeson? There will be soon. Oh the humanity!

“MOST BUSINESSES DESTROYED IN FERGUSON MINORITY OWNED”

Those business owners got what they deserved because they were acting “white”.

Now is the time for the socialists and assorted leftists to spring into action. Encourage the formation of consumer-owned cooperatives, owned and operated by the people in Ferguson. Initial loans could come from the the pension funds of the SEIU, the various teacher and professor unions, and of course those banks and credit unions owned and operated by various labor organizations.

“It’s simply part of doing business,....”

Yes, just another cost of doing business to add to the price consumers in Ferguson will pay for goods and services.

Since it is apparent that the police cannot provide business owners any security and protection of property from thieves and looters, the owners now have the choice of providing their own security at a cost. That cost will be passed on to the consumer through increased prices.

That is contingent on those businesses rebuilding and staying in Ferguson. Of course many will not return and rebuild. Either way, the cost of living in Ferguson just became more expensive for its people.

Most policies don’t cover this kind of stuff. Property and automobile insurance policies cover accidents, not intentional destruction, because you could set your car on fire and say it was done by the rioters....................

I hope nothing replaces the burned out businesses. The residents desire to live in a wasteland. We should not stifle their dreams.

From paid premiums.
It’s the price of doing business in an urban environment. That’s why people close shop and move away.

Civil unrest is excluded by insurance policies.

The businesses will never reopen. Everything they had went up in smoke - along with what was stolen.

Blacks are out of work but its not like they cared to keep the community afloat.

It was dying long before anyone ever heard of Michael Brown or Darren Wilson.

It is remarkable how much crime and indecency is caused in this nation by democrats and liberals.

That is what sane people will do. Sadly, there will be normal citizens left behind who will suffer. Kevin Jackson was on Hannity yesterday and described most of Ferguson as a nice, middle-class city that happened to be predominantly black. It seems that the worst of their citizens, along with professional agitators and a bloodthirsty media have combined to destroy all of that. The homeowners whose property values will plummet and the business owners who are faced with rebuilding (before Christmas) will not have their stories told.

If I was a business owner there, I would have left after the LAST set of riots/burnings.

Actually, it’s included in a basic business insurance policy. It still is going to cost the owners some money, but they should be covered, if they carried insurance.
