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.

More than that, they’ve been taught that those menial jobs (perfectly respectable and appropriate work for the less educated) are beneath them. That is why we have brought in Hispanic replacements. They all think they should be highly paid CEOs even though they haven’t any idea what one does. Kind of like Obama. He saw previous presidents occasionally taking a vacation or playing golf and he thinks that is all a president does. He didn’t pay attention to what the real responsibilities are for the leader of our nation. So he focuses on what he knows how to do: goof off and fund raise.
It’s the perfect opportunity for local entrepreneurs in the black community to buy up property cheap and invest in their community!
jes kidding.
My sister has a house a couple of miles up the road in Florissant. When she moved there in the late 60s it was a very nice suburb. Now....
Unfortunately she has her home on the market. Think her chances of selling it are about zero.
It’s also a policy change. Get rid of public housing and shift everyone over to section 8 to ensure “ diversity” everywhere....
Same for Madison Ave in Chicago with the MLK riots. Parts were a desert until the late 90s.
As I remember from the 1965 Watts Riots in LA, the torched and looted businesses never came back or rebuilt in Watts. I suspect similar things happened in the areas affected by the 1992 LA Riots (however, the Asian shopkeepers stood their ground against the mobs and saved their businesses).
So now the mobs in Ferguson, MO are ordering business owners to bring back the stores they looted and burned? Are these people insane? Listen up you dunderheads: the looted and burned stores aren’t coming back. I guess you’ll just have to riot again, loot what’s left, and burn down the rest so you can live in the ashes of your ‘hood. Karma is a bummer, baby.
I said immediately after the first riots/lootings that we would see protests about “food deserts” shortly.
These people are too stupid to see obvious cause and effect.
The poor will always live where the prices are cheapest. Now that the inner cities are being rebuilt and the slums there are being replaced with mansions for the rich, the poor have to go somewhere. I propose they will go to the older suburbs and that this process has already started in large areas of the country.
Many of the suburbs were not built very well and have not held up to the test of time very well. As the poor and minorities move out into the most affordable housing available in the older suburbs, they will drive out the remaining middle class residents and speed up the process.

Who ever did the “graphic” of that graph is an idiot.
In what way? Explain.
Give it a few years and it’ll be more or less forgotten.
For example, the circle represents 100% so the size of it should not change. You can use the edge of your scroll window to see the circles are not even the same size. The colors within it aren't to scale either. It would have been better if they just used a bar graph. Pet peeve I guess.
absolutely not, but if an incident happens in your town, and a bunch of outsiders come in and trash a few businesses, it is not the fault of your residents and they should not suffer because of those actions. I don't group the residents of that town with the interlopers. The residents were, of course, upset, but they caused little of the damage.
