The rioters need to understand that they won’t get really noticed until they riot and loot in white liberal neighborhoods... [ ;}) ]
Now they will be racists for not rebuilding!
Here is another moral outrage.
This was another golden opportunity for our second black president to lay the blame where it belongs, with individuals and whole communities of a particular race acting irresponsibility and illegally. He could have reminded them that acting illegally is what killed Michael Brown, and that others with similar approaches to life should shape up.
I’m outraged that he placed the blame on our “legal system”.
True Story: Every year, Black Expo is held in Indiapolis at our convention center. In MOST years, there are gang shootings associated with this event. A few years ago there were 4 or 5 shootings downtown after the convention let out. In addition, there are fights at local restaraunts etc. A couple years ago, one particular, popular chain restaraunt, decided to close early while the convention was in town. They were vilified as being racist. Their explanation was very capitalistic. Paraphrasing... "We lose a significant amount of money during this week of the year. We have to repair the store, hire extra staff because the restaraunt is packed. There have been fights in our store and the patrons loiter in the store without buying food. We also have a lot of folks leave without paying for food."
