As I said in another thread: when the feelings or well-being of animals like these rioters and looters are given priority over the well being of a random citizen or a business owner BY THE AUTHORITIES, here is what happens to those random citizens and businesses:

They aren’t protected.

Their families aren’t protected.

Their property isn’t protected.

Their business isn’t protected.

So, they do what any INTELLIGENT, THOUGHTFUL, RESPONSIBLE person does: They uproot their family and business, and LEAVE. (Because we all see what happens to those who stand up to the animals: If they survive being beaten to a pulp by a mob, they are demonized as racists)

And what happens after that?

And they demonize industry and commerce as racist because they don’t want to build factories or open stores in those areas, because the extra security costs add up to 30% to the overhead of business, an addition fatal to business survivability.

And they demonize banks as racist who won’t give business loans to someone who wants to open something in those areas, because they won’t make it past the first riot.

And they characterize as racist the unwillingness of insurance companies to offer low rates to businesses in those areas, because it is a guaranteed 100% loser for them.

THAT is what infuriates me about the animals doing this in places like Ferguson and Baltimore. They are doing all they can to drive people out of those areas so that much of the liberal black leadership can point to racist “white flight” as one of the roots of their failure to have a functioning community.

We hear whining and moaning that people in those ravaged communities can’t get access to basic services, can’t get stores to buy food at, can’t get a cab to take them home because it is too dangerous for the cabbies. And they decry the people who left to survive as “racists” and characterize their leaving as racially based “white flight”.

That's why I think its so important to pay attention to the changing attitudes of Detroit. There are some major opportunities there for smart republicans to capitalize on.

A few days ago I was watching some kind of town hall meeting with the police chief about Baltimore and the fiscal disaster coming to the city. One woman said she used to complain about white flight but says that after 50 years it just doesn't matter anymore. She and others said that they need black owned businesses to open but any business was more important than one owned by their own race. Basically it came down to admitting their own guilt and looking at ways to create a welcoming environment for business in their own neighborhoods starting in their homes.

Its important to note that Detroit residents have embraced school choice and are abandoning the traditional public schools at an ever increasing rate.

While the billionaires are dumping truckloads of cash downtown, the real important change seems to be taking place in the neighborhoods and Chief Craig appears to be the catalyst for a lot of it. He had some interesting things to say on CNN this morning.

Are police tactics too tough?
