Good luck when the insurance company asks to see the police report!

My earlier comment on another posting was “What was like in Ferguson before the shooting?”

This store owner did not report the crime, a customer did. So a customer steals and roughs you up when you try to stop him and you fear retribution if you report the crime?

His decision not to report the crime was before the shooting.

Ferguson is LOST!

Time to withdraw.

Do t worry the police will be there to protect you. Really they will, might take a couple weeks but they’ll get tbere.

IOW, they were thugs before the incident.

KDSK of St. Louis reported an attorney for the owners of the market held a press conference Friday in which he wanted Ferguson Market & Liquor’s customers to know that the store did not snitch to the police about Brown robbing the store, nor did they offer the store’s surveillance video of the robbery to police.

GOOD...GOD...ALMIGHTY!

This nation is *so*...fornicated.

Move out.

Businesses will have to move out of this area now. This is how places become “food deserts”. Businesses cannot sustain the losses and the cost of security (not to mention insurance).

Why risk your life to run a business in an area like this? You can’t possibly be making enough money to take that kind of risk.

I’d be a janitor in a better part of town rather than own a business in a dangerous area.

Was his store looted a few days later?

A Korean neighbor of mine owned a grocery store in Baltimore city and must have worked 80- 100 hours a week. When I asked him why he worked so much he said he wanted to make enough money so he could sell the business and retire before he got killed. That made sense to me.
