Store Owners 'Use Their Own Guns' As Police Back Away In Ferguson
by AWR Hawkins 16 Aug 2014
Looters in Ferguson, Missouri, were "met with little police resistance" as business owners say they "were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns" on Friday.
A reporter from Fox2Now even said "police cars were seen driving past some of the stores being looted and did not respond."
Two store owners told Fox2Now that they called 911, "were sent from one police agency to another," then "got no response."
Fox News reported that an angry mob formed "just before midnight" and broke into the very convenience store which Michael Brown -- the man shot by police -- allegedly robbed prior to being shot. There were approximately 200 in the crowd and some "began throwing rocks and other objects at police," hurting at least one officer.
Police responded by backing away to give the crowd room, but made no arrests.

South central Los Angeles is one of those ‘food deserts’ Michelle Obama blathers on about - because most of the businesses and stores those idiots burned out in the 1992 riots took the hint and never came back. 20 years later and some of the buildings still haven’t even been demolished, just boarded up. They’re still there and still empty.
That Night Train is a mean wine.
Excellent movie also.

Nothing says ‘social justice’ like stealing a case of Bud Light
WELL SAID!
Have you ever noticed that when a ex-military or cop is accused of doing something wrong the Media always points that he/she is Ex-XXX. However, Never tell you the the alleged perp is on welfare, and rarely their race unless it promotes “LOOK WHAT THE WHITE MAN HAS DONE.”
FORGOT TO MENTION THAT “DADDY” DON’T PAY NO CHILD REARING FEES.
As others have commented, the bookshops were unsurprisingly left alone.

Of course BUT the problem is there are way more BAD Cops now.
In my own home town out of (at the time) 8 officers and a chief 4 and the chief ended up being dismissed (fired) because they were breaking the law routinely. Making young girls who were pill-poppers doing "special favors" to stay out of jail (basically it was a private party where the girls would perform sexual favors after they were caught and surrendered their pills.)
Multiple counts of drug crimes including trafficking etc.
And that is just in my town, the county also had a scandal involving trafficking in young boys and the DA and the Sheriff were involved as well as several attorneys and they all got off scotfree.
Now cops will show up for a legal activity like a domestic dispute and the townsfolk are so fed up they will run them off or threaten to exact retribution if anyone gets hurts because the cops need to restrain anyone...
That snooty French brandy isn't just a little "white", it's Thurston Howell white. Charles Emerson Winchester white. Seriously, it just does not compute.
No, there was a lot of courage, heroism and honor and principle at Rourkes Driftt, on both sides.
In Ferguson, I see the good guys backing down and the bad guys are just beneath comment.
It really was a bad idea to make a mau mau tribesman’s grandson the Commander in Chief.
Great, great movie!
I guess they dropped out of school so early that they couldn’t read the sign:
No Shirt
No Shoes
No Butt Cracks
No Service
No Looting
