Looters in Ferguson, Mo., were met with little police resistance Friday night and store owners say they were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns, Fox2Now.com reported.

"I think the first message is to remind all law enforcement that they are hired to serve and protect and if they

Why do Jews live in France?

Why do businesses open in these “neighborhoods”?

At some point, you have to stop feeling sorry for people acting stupidly.

“We had to evaluate the security of the officers there and also the rioters,” Johnson said.

Insanity. The number 1 priority of the cops is the cops. Everything else is secondary including the safety of the public.

“Weren’t the Ferguson Police relieved of their protection duties due to alleged over-zealous enforcement? Looks like no one took over.”

I thought Governor Nixon (D) put the State Police in charge. It appears he may have instituted a “take what you want cooling off peroid”. The looting will stop when there’s nothing left to loot, the violence will stop when there’s no one left to protect property, then the violence of looter on looter will resume.

Negroid looters in Ferguson Missouri are living proof that Euro Americans have abdicated their duty to govern. Lurking in back of the rioting and looting are additional federal funds and a further black takeover of local government. (Local businesses are reporting that the police are not responding, a failure of government.)

"We had to evaluate the security of the officers there and also the rioters"

I had to read that twice to make sure I read it right. Then I googled to double check.

OUTRAGEOUS!

Not a word about evaluating protecting the town and the citizens ...

It’s exactly like the situation in France where the cops don’t respond to Muslim crime. Why should they? No Muslims and no liberals want them to.

And now it’s happening here. The blacks don’t want the police, the libs don’t want the police... hell, even some freepers don’t want the police.

Are the looters all blacks? Camera footage would be interesting. If they are, it would suggest that they figure their skin color is all the legal protection they need...

Hide in your store with old fashioned cap pistol (and a real gun in case). The minute they come in to loot, bang bang. They are not smart enough to know the difference.

They can live in the filth, less the places of business they destroyed.

Unfortunately, the liberal/democrat overlords in these counties adjust the demographics once this situation becomes manifest. When the businesses move out, the county supervisors force property rezoning and low-income housing contracts amid the "normal" neighborhoods. The process continues, then, to finance the moves and assist in the purchase, or rent payments, for those unfortunates otherwise locked in the criminal neighborhoods.

I would skip the part about the cap pistol.

I quite like the idea of citizens taking up arms to protect themselves and their property. They can do so much better than the police can. Enough of them could put a complete end to the gang-bang black culture, one way or another. Shoot early, and shoot often. The world will be a better place.

Dem. Gov. Nixon put Capt. Johnson (MO State Highway Patrol, AA, Ferguson resident (I think), in charge of the “security” aspects of the current Ferguson situation. Anyone know what division of the MSHP Johnson is a part of, because last night’s decisions indicate he has little criminal experience. Maybe he’s Mr. Big over the driver’s license folks.

Somewhere people like Putin, Xi Jinping, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,... are laughing at us.

Same with Police Chief Craig in Detroit. He's encouraging people to arm and defend themselves because despite cutting response times to a fraction of what they were, police will still be too late.

People are defending themselves with great gusto. There have been some 30 justifiable homicides this year and the murder rate is down nearly 30% from last year. If it weren't for the tax structure, Detroit would be rather business friendly.
