The "riots" occurring tonight are minimal and nothing compared to what was seen this past summer in Ferguson. Most reporting done tonight has been laughable and inflammatory, IMO.
Nope, I’m in America, and I’m keeping close tabs on what is taking place from the sources I have available, and I think I’m quite able to make a rational comparison to what I’m seeing tonight to past “riots”, and at this point in time, this is a product of anarchist losers as far as I’m concerned, and a very pitiful display!
Things could change over the next few days, but I’m encouraged at the relative lack of cohesive “outrage” (manufactured, of course) being displayed across the country.
I sincerely hope that it stays this way over the next several days. Time will tell.
I’m watching a piece on abc 15 in Phoenix right now. Two people showed up for the big “gentle giant” verdict protest in Phoenix. A mother and her son. Oh well, they tried. Arizonans are a bunch of party poopers. LOL!
Relative to?
Not upset or disappointed at all.
Disgusted at the inflammatory actions of the MSM attempting to fan the “flames” of the reaction to the Grand Jury decision not to indict.
“They’re eating children in the Superdome because nobody’s sent bottled water!” - paraphrasing Geraldo’s report to a weepy Shep Smith after Katrina.
Gosh, I can’t imagine what. YOU’RE THE ONE WHO POSITED THE COMPARISON, GENIUS
your getting snippets from the media. Ferguson is on fire. BAD!
Listen to the police scanners!

Looks can be deceiving, but I don’t want to belittle the actual destruction going on in Ferguson, along with anywhere else in the country.
I am simply disgusted with the MSM and their eagerness to see the situation deteriorate, along with their narrative that seems to me to be egging it on.
I have seen worse problems but hearing reports that hundreds of people shutting down I44 and also hearing black owned business that burned down without the help of fire department, owners survived by escaping to walk-in freezer, so your right - no rioting here.
Everything’s quiet in my little corner of Oakland. The idiots are all out trying to loot a freeway ;-)
I repeat, this is much worse relative to what?
I’m not a spring chicken, and I’ve seen “worse” dozens of times.
Be specific, please!
No reports of book stores being looted.
from about a minute ago:’
“The AutoTire and the business next door are actively being looted. 50-60 subjects at the auto tire. They stole a pair of cars and ran them in the front. /u/FergTipAdmin “

this is a bit different than August imo
It sounds like a war zone on the scanner.
Hope you are safe and remain so!
Currently, local news reports have at least 6 businesses either burning or totally burned down, one was one that burned last August but had recently been rebuilt, now gone again.
I’ve been to a few places in my travels, in particularly bad inner cities (Chicago included), where I’ve heard shots fired (although not admittedly in the numbers going on tonight in Ferguson), but right now the bulk of the violence in Ferguson, IMO, is a direct result of “professional antagonists” who are not being directly confronted by the “government forces” who are tasked with providing for our safety.
Keep your head down and stay safe, and hope that the situation doesn’t deteriorate.
Thx. I’m glad I’m in a safe place but sorry for those in area who have no where else to escape but forced to have anarchists running the streets.
