It bothers me a lot that not one single store/property owner made any effort, apparently, to defend their places. A 12 gage muzzle pointing out of a store door will buy a whole bunch of peace and tranquility. And if the muzzle doesn’t the first couple shots will. I don’t recall any incident in any state of anyone being prosecuted for shooting a looter while at his own place. Might be a little paperwork involved but I always say we can do that later. What the bleep is wrong with these Fergusons that they aren’t willing to defend themselves from hoodlum punks? If that crowd of folks is so afraid of the Grand Kenyan, et al, that they won’t defend themselves then I guess they deserve what they voted for. Might sound a little harsh but if they don’t show a little grit then they can expect a lifetime of shiite.
Agree - but I’m sure there is some concern that if they actually kill or seriously injure someone, they will have larger angry crowds than they can handle showing up to exact revenge.
If the authorities can’t stop the mobs, the mobs will control the streets. Single shopowners defending their turf can’t defeat this by themselves.
They are.
