The gov’t isn’t there for YOU, stupid, the gov’t is there for THEMSELVES and any one else they can use to accrue more power to THEMSELVES. YOU pick up the tab for it all, Jackass.
You mean Elizabeth Wareen did no tprotect you form the marauding hordes!?
You mean Elizabeth Warren may have even organized the marauding hordes!?
Shocking.
Be sure to pay your taxes, because you didn’t build that!
You are just a bunch of greedy capitalists who deserved to get looted and burned out.
Obammy was there for the looters.
I do sympathize with these folks to a point...they chose in most cases, to depend on the government for security...a quote from Ben Franklin comes to mind.
Welcome to the “brave new world” comrades...you see, your interests were in conflict with the interests of the power brokers in DC....
So sad, too bad.
Now you are getting a life’s lesson in freedom and independence. I’ll bet a doughnut that if you had been on your rooftops or even in front of your stores armed to the teeth and prepared to defend what is yours, the situation would have been much different. As was evidenced by other business owners who did so.
The first line of the government was the police who were under attack by citizens of Ferguson and the federal government. Blame Obama, and the screwball thinking that makes blacks think they should be able to get away with criminal behavior.
No, but they’ll be there to finish the job for the looters of kicking your ass, killing your business and ruining any future chances of you ever owning another business again
But “the government, they weren’t there for us,” he said. “They weren’t there for us at all—not the first time around, not the second time around, even after they promised that they would.” …

The same whiney BS we heard after Katrina.
That being true, we all need to remember - Ferguson is Obama’s Katrina.
I know that there were many innocent shop owners who endured destruction yet again.
But, the lede quote sounds more like the part of the culture that believes they can “safely” destroy businesses in a show of anger because, no problem, the government will come in a clean everything up - no loss to anyone. Would those particular shop keepers who have the attitude that the gov. will ensure a 100% cost free “reset” for them have objected more strenuously in their own communities to the looting vandalism, or supported some kind of enforcement effort even if it was civilian?
I’m thinking about my sister’s neighbor who, when he noticed that the tree in her yard was about to fall over, asked eagerly what the deductible on her homeowners ensurance was because maybe he’d just leave his car parked in the path of the falling tree if her deductible was low....
I wonder if they vote for politicians who enable vandalization. If so, they got what they deserve.
Take it up with Valerie Jarrett. She is the one who decided that the National Guard should stand down.
I always assumed the reason more owners didn’t arm themselves and protect their property was they were threatened by the cops, the DA, or the Just-us department. Perhaps they didn’t defend themselves because they honestly expected the government to do it.
Amen to that.
I suppose the leftist argument will be that the government will fund the rebuilding of burned down businesses. Me, I think defending property is cheaper than replacing it, but I’m not in the business of spending other peoples’ money.
What a harsh lesson to learn. Better late than never though. Let the local Tea Party surge!
The first time around, I can understand them getting caught by surprise. But the Government clearly intimated that there would be little protection for property owners. They should have gotten the message and prepared or retreated to a safer location. I wouldn’t open a business in that town. I’d leave if I had one.
Guess what. They probably won’t be there when you need them.
Give me a break! They should have all been standing inside their stores with shotguns and 44mags and shot the first ones through the door or the broken window! That would have also saved an untold number of hard-earned American dollars in the rest of the country as well.
Here’s a flash for the “minorities” of Ferguson: You are the government and you tied the hands of the police force a long time ago with your stupid racist chants and marches on behalf of your criminal heroes. Good for you! You’re reaping what you sowed! Too bad the rest of us have to endure the consequences as well.
Nothing has changed. They’re already whining for someone to come and clean up the mess, just like always.
Rant not over! Not by a long shot!
