Shucks, those were nothing compared to the great ‘95 Rodeo Drive/Beverley hills riots after the oj acquittal. Remember those? Yeah, me neither.
Do not be so niggardly in your appreciation of the Ferguson Ferals. Of course their demonstration wasn't up to LA standards! They had a much smaller town to deal with; much less scope for their activities.
You, as a "Riot Snob' (Beverly Hills indeed!) also have to admit that these rioters were very poorly led. The Mombasa MF, Eric (The Red) Holder, and Al Sharpton are just not effective leaders and organizers. Being unable to supply a picnic with watermelon does not exactly inspire good performance from small-town rubes like the Ferguson Ferals. I just didn't see that their hearts were in it. I think they came for the shopping.
But let's be fair. These people should go out to LA and practice against the newly equipped Korean shopkeepers/marksmen. We'll soon see what these bush league might, or might not, do.
