Looting and violence has broken out in Ferguson in the wake of the decision not to indict Darren Wilson. Jake Tapper reported that people tried to smash in windows with bricks and police have fired tear gas to disperse crowds. Don Lemon is reporting people throwing bottles and confronting police.

Someone needs to fly in the Korean store keepers from L.A. They didn’t put up with this crap. They just opened fire.
I’m just shocked! Did anyone see this coming?
Looks like a lotta folks out commiserating with the Browns. Such a solum and sad occasion.
Why are not the storeowners defending their property? Are they going to be satisfied with an insurance payout? I always thought Missouri had manlier men than that.
“Officer, please, for God’s sake, they’re looting the Food King.”
They looted a Family Dollar?
Way to play JV, guys.
I suspect the corporate masters have told them to leave the property, corporate will indemnify losses. It would be a disaster if one of their managers shot a protest person. PR disaster, that is.
Because of the cops’ inaction, Ferguson is dying.
Who would be foolish enough to start a business in that place?
Another FReeper pointed out last week that insurance policies probably do not cover riots. So even the ones that have insurance are screwed.
My life insurance policy was null and void if I was killed participating in a riot or insurrection.
has?
No kidding. Right now they are showing all the fires there. Looks like the whole town is burning. Time for the white folks to pack up and leave town for their own safety.
Gosh this should make people stop being racist.
“even the ones that have insurance are screwed”
But six months now, some lefty will complain that places like Ferguson are `food deserts’.
The most important color for merchants is green. Why would they stay in Fergie after this?
I’ve always been amazed at rioters who bust up police vehicles...they belong to them, and they will have to pay taxes to replace them
They are so self deceptive at DU. They are INSISTING that the cops are provoking peaceful protesters into “losing it” with tear gas. I guess that’s why they are running off with all those cell phones and TV sets.
If I were in charge that’s what I’d do. If I wasn’t allowed to actually stop them (by doing something politically incorrect) I’d protect the police and fire stations and let them burn the rest of it down. At that point who cares?
Mommy they don’t pay taxes. They take taxes.
