UPDATE: LIVE VIDEO BELOW

The situation has escalated  in Ferguson, Missouri where people have been protesting the police shooting of the unarmed Michael Brown on Saturday night.

This town just North of St. Louis has become a powder keg, starting when the crowd started hurling bottles at a police line they had faced off with earlier tonight.

And now hundreds of idiots, who seem to be a majority in this crowd, have started looting nearly every single business in town.

Don't these people realize they have to wake up to this tomorrow morning? Just insanity.

“Hope those business owners have insurance!”

If there were any insurance companies brave enough to write insurance in that area, they sure will not do it now.

Not without some kind of a government (read: taxpayer) guarantee.

Accoding to KTVI they are coordinating their looting efforts using cell phones, and it has expanded beyond the city limits.

Watching the live feed from the K-Mart Center, is that a MRAP that the cops have there?

That’s pretty obvious from the footage.

I have been reading the Huffington Post for their reaction. When you read the comment section, the first post is sarcastic and admonishes blacks not to do perfectly normal things or they will be shot.

“John Bannon · Top Commenter · Brick Computer Science Institute
Young, black men in this country should not do any of the following: run, jog, walk at night, stand around in a group, go into a convenience store, be anywhere that white men and women are around, be in a neighborhood with high crime, be in a neighborhood with low crime, own a car, stand around by themselves, stand behind a white person at an ATM, look at a white person, talk, breathe, live. If they do, chances are, the cops will be called and more often than not, guns will be drawn.

Oh, and by the way, no black person should ever be elected president...they will immediately be attacked for being black.

You forgot - never wear hoodies. Even though it might be chilly outside, they should never wear hoodies. Way too threatening.”

But if you organize the comment section, you see that people are wondering why they are destroying their own neighborhoods. I liVKed this comment:

“Stop killing are our young black men that our job.” What wrong with the police, don’t they know it our God give right to kill them ourselves. The cops only have guns, and we also have guns, AIDS, Gangs, Drug, Prisons, Domestic Violence and let not for getting a lack of education and basic skill set to become a productive citizen....The truth be told that the police kill less than 320 black male in a year. While black on black violence kills thousand every year....
Time to wake up and see the madness, that is a black American experience.

They need to be packing up their valuables to take with them and anything that has sentimental value, and get out while the getting is good.

Better to lose only what doesn’t have so much value to them anyway, cause once the rioting reaches them, there’s not much chance of getting out and they’d probably lose the stuff anyway, and they’ll be trapped.

They’re obviously looting the stores because they can’t afford belts!

And nobody is blaming the cops for this mess? Mean, obnoxious steroid junkie cops go into white neighborhoods and shoot people’s dogs for no reason all the time, and they get away with it because the people just lie down and take it. So they decide to take it a step farther, just to see how you will react. And you say “it’s just happening to inner-city blacks, so who cares?” Which is exactly how they want you to feel about it. By the time they start gunning down your lily-white children, it’ll be too late for you to do anything about it. Because you were complacent. It didn’t concern you. I don’t know about you, but I am really, really pi$$ed.

Whatever happened with the cops and I have serious reservations about BOTH sides of the story, is NO justification for looting and rioting and the kind of destructive animal like behavior directed as those who had nothing to do with the shooting.

The store owners are not responsible for the actions of the cops that it is their responsibility to make amends for it. And certainly, even if someone was to make amends, stealing from them and wantonly destroying other people's property is NOT the appropriate response to the incident.

What this does is paint the entire black culture as no better than terrorists who are looking for the least excuse to go animal.

*your lily white children*?

Your racism is duly noted.
