Business insurance rates probably have skyrocketed in that area, due to the rioting. [They can thank the Community Organizer and his cohorts.]

Likely, city taxes will also skyrocket, as more police will probably need to be hired. [They can thank the Community Organizer and his cohorts.]

How to create a ghost town.

They're a long way from the ghetto and the MetroLink doesn't go to Chesterfield.

Better not let Al hear about that.

Plainfield, New Jersey, is still a blighted community because of riots that happened almost fifty years ago.

Once a notorious riot happens in a community, it takes a long long time for them to bounce back. It makes no sense to run a toy store in a community that is going to be a basket case for the next half-century, at least.

If a 46,000 sqft store only has 36 employees, it would have been slated for eventual closure. That is one slow store.

"And who would want to open a liquor store there?"

If I remember this correctly, there was a Don's and Ben's Guns and Liquor Chain in San Antonio, about 25 years ago. According to an internet search, they are still there, but no mention of guns anymore. But my search did turn up Double Shot Liquor & Guns, 304 Kessler Ave, Schulenburg, TX 78956. Maybe they would consider opening a branch in Ferguson.

The business district of Watts, Calif., along 103rd Street, never recovered after the riot whose fiftieth anniversary we will be commemorating in a few months.

I just assumed that was the final total after the riots, and there were more employees before that.

She sure did have to say it - imagine what would happen if she said they were getting the heck out of there, as the thugs have ruined the community and business will not bounce back.

At least if she told the truth the “community” would have helped clear whatever is left on the shelves.

I’ve heard some areas of Detroit never recovered after the 1967 riots there.

And I know of some parts of the Washington DC riot zone, which took decades to become redeveloped after the ‘68 riots following the killing of Martin Luther King.

This is not shocking news about Ferguson.

It will be interesting to see what else happens in the future there. Up until now, Ferguson was about 2/3 black and about 1/3 white. Some white liberals actually had thought Ferguson was a model of a diverse community, before all of the troubles.

I would imagine that most if not all of the 1/3 white residents are planning to leave. And the good decent black residents, are also moving out. In less than 5 years, Ferguson will be 99% black, and they will be ghetto black, as opposed to any decent working, law abiding residents.
