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.
It’s sickening — all government cared for was appeasing the rioters, and that meant they couldn’t be out there warding them off from the businesses and homes of innocents.
Well, situations like this put meaning into self defense.
Oath Keepers were brought in to defend the stores but the government told them to leave.
I think I saw pic's of Korean store owners standing on roof tops with shotguns...protecting THEIR properties...
Not sure how these Ferguson folks thought...but I'd have been pro-active.
