Nah...more media than protesters.
LOLOLOL...is right!
So, of that 80 percent, NOT ONE SINGLE MAN among them STOOD UP with rifle in hand, and went out to put a stop to the madness?
And the cops just stood around with their thumbs up their a$$, while all hell broke loose ... Business ransacked, looted and burned to the ground - and they allowed it to go on! Yet, we’re supposed to give up our right to keep and bear arms?
Where were all the men? I’ll tell you where ... Hiding under their beds, crapping their pants, and sucking their thumbs! Every “good” citizen in Ferguson ought to be ashamed of themselves for letting their community get razed by these worthless black maggots!
I would have been out there with an AK-47, a 12 gauge pump shotgun loaded with XXX buck, and a 30-06 - putting a good number of these punks out of action - permanently.
In August, some were armed and doing just that. This time, they were told that the guard was going to be out and the businesses would be protected.
Some probably decided to stay home and protect their family, house, and personal possessions, since they were told that the guard would be stationed so that their businesses would be protected.
Others took precautions, and moved their merchandise at least, out of the area.
At the tail end of one of the local news broadcasts, when answering questions about the guard, the guy said yeh we had a plan, and I wish we had stuck to it, then turned around and left.
St. Louis County Police Chief Belmar stated that he had told the police: Guys lets just let them go - treat it like any other big crowd event(sporting event etc.). Maybe it won't be too bad. He never said why.
The rumor is that Gov Nixon was responding to pressure from DC so that the National Guard was not to be deployed. He was supposedly told that the Guard would just make the situation worse.
Nixon stripped the Authorities in Ferguson of their authority and appointed the St. Louis County Chief Belmar and Captain Ron Johnson of the highway patrol to be in charge. St. Louis County Officers were the ones sent in. Ferguson was Bengahzzzzzied.
