Who is doing the cleaning up? Who is paying for it?
Bastiat's parable of the broken window should be remembered here.
What role model or business person will want to be in Ferguson without a lot of compensation for assuming the risk of being a community target?

Bidness is all about location, location, location. Ferguson ain’t.
China, better economic potential than Detroit.
Shellean can start buy picking up that malt liquor can behind her.
Time for some of those wealthy black celebrities to step up to the plate. Who was there? Spike Lee? Who else? If they’re sincere and really care about this situation, THEY need to invest in some business in the community. Probably won’t, though, because then they can’t blame the problems on someone else.
The best advice to youth everywhere is the same, regardless of the color of their skin.
Stay in school, apply yourself, keep out of trouble, exhibit good manners, respect those in authority, find a church or community group with a good mentoring program, surround yourself with people who are successful, and choose positive role models.
When you get a job, be prompt, be courteous, be respectful, be dependable, and be well groomed.
Walter Williams has an article about the costs incurred by lawlessness. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/williams122398.asp
you might do better in Afghanistan....there you can shoot back. ferguson: you just have to take it. snitches get stitches....remember.
Anyone who invests now is foolish. Wait until the trial of the officer ends. If he is cleared of wrong doing watch out. If he is found guilty (likely with Holder out for blood) watvh out.
You got me there.
The law is from the 1800’s. It appears that someone should have seen the tax base ramifications years ago.
From a state that made a women a senator because her husband died, I should not expect much.
Like I said. Watch out. The thugs will loot and riot either way.
>>They need to learn about manners, courtesy, sharing, a good work ethic and positive thinking.<<
All those pesky little things that working fathers usually teach their children...but there aren’t too many of them in the ghetto.
Holding a sign, stating that their “futures are blocked” is cute, and makes for good media fodder - but looking in the mirror would be much more effective for them.
All these liberals and race pimps keep telling us the problem is their “youth” don’t have jobs, we have to “give” them jobs. But I’m wondering, how many of these “teens” would take a job if it were offered? How many would be willing to get out of bed early each day and earn a living through the labor of their own hands?
BTW, no one ever “gave” me a job. I had to go through the process of convincing someone to hire me based on my skills and merits, then had to prove myself worthy of keeping the job through satisfactory performance. This expectation of being given something has got to stop.

Excellent advice, and true regardless of skin color or how society treats you. If you can't get a job then there is one more essential step - start some kind of small business on your own.
Nobody, except the disabled, has any excuse for not working and generating value in society. There is no reason, apart perhaps from stifling governmental regulations, that even poor people with limited education cannot run small businesses.
If I had a demolition and parking lot paving company I might.
After the riots in Newark in 67, the a significant portion of the central ward of the city, which included most of the significant riot action, was virtually demolished and paved over. Kind of an urban renewal project like a 1945 Hiroshima without the radiation (Hiroshima recovered, Newark did not).
amen
It’s ironic that these kids only have to stumble through a black studies degree at any college, and affirmative action will take them to $100,000+ jobs at any medium to large corporation in the US.
