FERGUSON, Missouri----KMOV-TV reports that the majority of stores that were damaged or completely destroyed during Monday night's violent riots in Ferguson were minority owned. Fire Departments around the St. Louis County Area put out 25 structural fires caused by vandals and looters following the announcement from the grand jury that Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted in the death of Mike Brown.

Most of the damaged businesses were on West Florissant Avenue and included: Walgreens, Little Caesers Pizza, Autozone, Beauty Town, Title Max, Family Dollar Store, and O'Reilly Auto Parts. Small-business owner Natalie Dubose was in tears when she realized her cake store was attacked by vandals.

Dubose, a mother of two, previously told CNN, "If I can't open my doors every morning, I can't feed my kids in the evening. Just don't burn my shop down, don't destroy it."

All for the sake of egotistical bullheadedness.

They couldn’t accept that a kid, bent on being a punk, finally bit off more than he could chew. No no no no no, who cares what probably went down, this must be used as a scourge to flog the white community! Except they ended up whipping themselves into self destructive frenzy.

How many ways can you say lose?

And be labled racist?
They don’t have the nuts to take on a thought about what is really fair for the sake of the law abiding privalege American citizen who just so happens to be pretty damn varied in skin tone.

The rioter are destroying because of a hate opportunit and it should not be rewarded in any manner.
Pay the shop owners and other businesses to relocate elsewhere, that would be ok with me.

Just venting. Smell it?
This is a hard day to see.

Productive minority group members have their businesses trashed while the clown in the White Hut celebrates the thugs.

I'd be willing help her.

That Christian cake shop involved in the gay marriage thing has been selling “cakes in jars” over the internet. This Fergusson woman may only have to do the same (and a bit of publicity to save herself. I've got the Christian bakery on my Favorites list for the Christmas season www.sweetcakesweb.com

The people who did the looting, burning and vandalizing aren’t people of conscience, so expecting them to care about who they are hurting is pointless. They were ready to riot, no matter what the grand jury decided, and whether or not Wilson killed in self defense. It’s an excuse for the rioters to act like they would like to act all the time.

“Justice for Big Mike”, “Stick it to the Man”, “eat the Rich”, “ power to the people” , “Right on - Black Power! “ , or something like that

“That depends on whether Natalie was ‘OK’ with things right up until they busted into her shop.”

My thoughts exactly!

I’d be willing to donate to a fund to help the business/property owners sue the state & city for not providing protection from the mobs.

This may be an interesting story, but the Breitbart advertising barrage that comes with clicking to their site is just too much to bear.

My guess would be that is exactly what will happen, it is in fact what real American people do after the liberal communist fascist marxist democrats submit their best efforts at destruction.

If federal tax dollars are involved in rebuilding Ferguson... errrrggg...

I propose a 15% surcharge on all EBT purchases to help offset the cost.

” Small-business owner Natalie Dubose was in tears... “

Pity! Had she purchased some shotguns, preferably drum or replacible magazine fed, her business probably would have not been burned.

Such was the experience of those South Korean business owners during that certain riot in Kalifornia.

“They need a good stiff shot of gospel”

Actually, no! Been tried for generations and resulted in historic FAIL.

“A whiff of the grape” in modern terms could have been administered by the property owners.

A case was made last night in Ferguson, MO., that Urban Feral savagery must be considered as other forms of asocial behavior.

As is well known, bad Urban Feral Behavior Syndrome is caused by a diet deficient in trace heavy metals.

Lead injections are a demonstrated and validated method of curing Urban Feral Behavioral Syndrome.

Documentation please.

“He who has something to sell and goes and whispers in a well, is not as apt to make the dollars as he who climbs a tree and hollers.”

Mumbling in a church pulpit, I am so sorry to inform your blasphemous self, does not count.

'Most insurance policies do not cover civil unrest. IOW, these hard working people are most likely screwed. Sigh.'

Actually, most commercial/business policies do. Most homeowner's policies do not.

And anyhow, the sense of entitlement is way too deeply entrenched to yield to mere worldly violence.

Gospel approaches the problem from a different dimension.

You seem to delight in worldliness.
