As the sun came up this morning in Ferguson, Missouri, it revealed destroyed businesses, burnt cars and wreckage from the riots that erupted after a grand jury cleared Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown.

A row of scorched cars covered in soot sat in a parking lot in nearby Dellwood, a manager surveyed the burned down building of the gas station where she works, and business owners assessed smashed windows and rubble from the fires.

Yeah, he is, and Compton is even more rundown than it was when I was a kid.

Correct, buuuut that is too complex a reality for the mind of people raised to be victims and a herd for democrat empowerment.

They, [White Liberals] have deprived them of the joy of living. They have deprived them of the pride of owing things, the pride of accomplishment[s], the self satisfaction of working for and earning something, their self respect.

Blacks of my age (61) and older, have witnessed the deterioration, decay, and total metamorphosis of the black subculture within their own lifetimes.

None can say they don't remember the days when our people had a completely different orientation to life and our standing within the broader community.

When I attended Compton High School in the early 70s, that was the primary goal of every classmate I knew.

Within three years of graduation, 99% of us were gone.

“It [Obama on National TV during the Second 2014 Ferguson, MO riots] backfired on Barack. His most memorable contribution was a [TV] , split screen of him talking about the 'majority' of peaceful protesters and a bunch of rioters overturning a car. A powerful metaphor for his presidency, really."

Bears repeating and saving.

Highland Mall in Austin, TX has the same sort of trouble during the high school track and field competitions held annually at the nearby University of Texas campus. The mall is a popular hang out between events for the Amish so they wanted to close that weekend a couple years ago but the city told them they couldn’t as that would be racist never mind that their customer base is already diverse.

I was watching this with my girlfriend and remarked it immediately. An absolutely astonishing video.

He activated the guard last week. Somebody stopped him from putting them there.

'Course, I'm a conservative - I'm married with children - I'm a business owner - I obey the law and play by the rules - I speak the mother tongue - and I vote Republican.

You know......I'm feeling just a bit discriminated against!

Well, D'OH!!

You're not black enough!

Even being a stupid voter, I can figure that one out!

Its nice knowing that even in the socialist state I live in, in the more conservative corner of it that I live in, this sort of looting and destruction would not happen.

Small town & borders rural areas. Lots of deer hunters and ex-military. Probably see lots of looters perforated with .308, 5.56 and 7.62. Personally I think shotgun slugs are better, for various reasons.

Its a shame it wasn’t “weapons free” for the store owners as far as the looters and destroyers went. A major mowing of the grass, and there wouldn’t be any major looting afterwards for at least 20 years.

Oh no doubt. So why not shoot shoplifters on sight too?

Keep it rational.

Histrionics are uncalled for.

“The rioters need to understand that they won’t get really noticed until they riot and loot in white liberal neighborhoods”.....

Geeesh, don't even suggest that, the Street Rats are too busy right now destroying what they KNOW will be allowed. Once they hit the streets of “civilization”, they more than likely will meet with some heavy armament and pay a heavy price to boot. Simply, it won't end pretty.

Pretty much my point. It’s a taunt.

They know what will happen if they do it.

“........with individuals and whole communities of a particular race acting irresponsibility and illegally.”...

Man, we’re talking “Street Rats” here, its what they do.

Perhaps tonight the real shooting will begin and the looters and arsonists will get what they truly deserve.
