The Guard was posted in town but Gov. Nixon held them back and allowed the city to burn.
Damn him...
I agree with your damnation of the governor. I just meant that the governor was part of a larger plan. That whole thing was a choreographed, made for tv spectacle. It was not a mob action. It was not spontaneous.
The original burning of the Circle K after the justifiable homicide of Big Mike was a mob action. Nov. 24th was not.
