On August 10, 2014, outraged protesters looted and torched the local QuikTrip in Ferguson after 18 year-old Mike Brown was shot dead.
Now local Ferguson residents are warning officials to rebuild the businesses, “Or, there’s gonna be hell to pay.”
CBS interviewed three young men in Ferguson, Missouri this week. One protester Gunny warned officials:
“To be honest, if they don’t come and restore these neighborhoods for these people, like when you gotta go travel miles to Walmart and to get gas and stuff like that, it should be right here. If they don’t restore this community for people who stay here it’s gonna be hell to pay…
A second protester chimed in:
Yeah, that’s why people looting, because they can’t get no jobs.

I remember about 6 months after 9/11, my mailbox was stuffed with policy changes in really tiny print for all the policies I held that said ‘terrorism isn’t covered as of now’.
I left the insurance industry about 13 years ago. That was actually a happy day in my life. Did things change that much? In my day we covered on an "All Risk" policy such things as riot and civil commotion.
On the other hand, if I owned a business in Ferguson I would negotiate with my insurer to let me rebuild somewhere such that local denizens don't try to ruin me because of an event like this.
I don't know what happened there. I doubt Wilson was looking for guys to gun down. I doubt he was hunting for the most dangerous game.
I do know there must be somewhere to build a business where the locals don't blame me for something I can't control. I would ask my insurer to assist with that, maybe for a discounted payoff.

Well since Bammy can’t provide a shovel ready job it looks like his tribal voters created one out of the looted QT. Time to shovel it under.
Here ya go.
Oh man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are they going to do? Burn down businesses in their own sh1th0les again? Try to go loot whitey? Good luck with that, scum. Ya reap what ya sow.
They can set up shop themselve, they have all the inventory.
Yes, but Jim Hoft seems to be a hard worker.
Yeah, pipe dream
(1) You forgot the /sarc tag.
(2) I actually know quite a few blacks (their term, they loath the term “African American”) who actually do exactly what you say. Their hatred for these scum far exceeds mine. Why? These scum are an anchor on their struggle to achieve.
Stupid is that stupid does!

It started after the 1992 LA Riots; yes, the industry did change. Now your basic commercial policy specifically excludes civil unrest, riots, looting, etc., etc. This became de rigeur (at least for the clients I provide with IT services) about a decade ago. If one wished to have those covered, you had to pay more.
In the event they *were* actually covered, the insurance companies will actually work with their clients to help them rebuild elsewhere, as a general rule. The alternative for a business that chooses to rebuild in the original location is an enormous raise in premiums.
This will have the advantage of spreading out the democratic vote that will no longer be concentrated in the inner cities, which will make vote fraud MUCH harder to get away with.
Good luck with that.
It’s going to be a food desert and an every other kind of store desert to boot.
I would not risk running a business in an area like that plus it would be irresponsible to subject employees to the kind of treatment that store owner experienced on tape ... or worse. For the safety of my employees alone I would locate elsewhere.
Anyway, there is nothing stopping any of the locals from opening their own stores.
“The racial change in Ferguson is going to happen in nearly every suburb in America as the suburbs age and become the oldest and thus cheapest place to live.”
Oldest is not the cheapest,at least in my area (Eastern MA).

The GP article is an excerpt from Conservative Treehouse. They do more work than anyone. What I meant is whenever Kristinn does a guest piece, it i usually some bombshell about immigration or the border that no one else has done.
