Store Owners 'Use Their Own Guns' As Police Back Away In Ferguson

by AWR Hawkins 16 Aug 2014

Looters in Ferguson, Missouri, were "met with little police resistance" as business owners say they "were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns" on Friday.

A reporter from Fox2Now even said "police cars were seen driving past some of the stores being looted and did not respond."

Two store owners told Fox2Now that they called 911, "were sent from one police agency to another," then "got no response."

Fox News reported that an angry mob formed "just before midnight" and broke into the very convenience store which Michael Brown -- the man shot by police -- allegedly robbed prior to being shot. There were approximately 200 in the crowd and some "began throwing rocks and other objects at police," hurting at least one officer.

Police responded by backing away to give the crowd room, but made no arrests.

Leftists have always loved the criminal element. They would love to see law and order completely crumble and all hell break loose everywhere. Then, a few will gain power with the claim of “restoring order”. In truth, leftists are fascist thugs.

All this is going on because a thug robbed a store and yet the media would rather focus on what cops wear, and how military they are.
Stunning, and yet the Dems use it as an election get out the vote.

Insurances go up, businesses will leave, more taxes leave the town, and all because Holder the GOV racebaiters, and Obama have made the cops an issue and not the crimes being committed

Post smaller pics, big pics cause the whole thread’s text to be so small it cannot be read.

It really was a bad idea to make a mau mau tribesman’s grandson the Commander in Chief.

I've been saying it for a couple of years. "Soon we are going to cross a line that once crossed we will never get back..."

It matters not now if this was a righteous shoot or not. Its all the bad stuff that has happened before. All Ramboed-up no-knock warrants on the wrong address and shooting the people within because they thought they were being attacked by thugs (they were they just had badges and guns)...

Shooting dogs that were in their own yard behind a fence because the officers "felt threatened"...

Roided-up Rambos going postal on a traffic stop because a citizen legally refuses to have his car searched...

More Roided-up Rambos gunning down people in their own car because they thought they met the description of a fleeing suspect even though they were in the wrong make, model and color car and weren't even the right sex...

Now we have this incident and the cops have so mishandled the situation (they let everyone else set the narrative and figured it would all die down) they are now afraid to protect the store owners because anything they do just throws more gasoline on the fire.

Remember that line I was talking about...?

I think it's in Ferguson and it's in the rear-view mirror now.

I believe that the courts have ruled that police do NOT have a duty to protect you or your property. Take note and act accordingly.

Sad what Amerika has become under Obama. God has backed away and taken his hand of protection away from America. America is dying a slow and painful death. Many ask why the Holy Bible does not show America. This is why. In the End Days, America will not exist, thus will not be a player on the End Time events as a independent, powerful nation. America will be dead. It will be absorbed by the EU and combined with maybe the NAFTA mob. But America is finished. I am not a dimoSatanist or a RINOcrat. I serve and await a coming King of King and Lord of Lords and frankly, I pray He comes today. This nation is getting what it deserves for its denial and walking away from the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Yes, a Jewish God, who we the Church are His body and He is the Head of this Body of Christ. Sadly, there are few who truly await and hope that our Lord comes quickly as He promised.

That brain trust - the tall guy in the middle of the right side, facing out — has made sure he will not be recognized.

Of course he can’t see a thing.

Didn’t someone tell him that he had to leave his eye slot open? However, he may be blind and just doesn’t want to be left out of the ‘free things’..

That would be discrimination...

Either the store windows had already been broken out OR maybe they just leave it like that all the time.

Always know when you are in a ‘good neighborhood’ when you pass by a Church and there is Concertina Wire on top of the chain link fenced parking lot....

I’ll bet the police will spring into action when a store owner ends up shooting and killing a looter. Watch how fast they’ll arrest him, especially if he’s white.

I'd have killed until the ammo was gone, with every shot making the world a better place.
