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.

nuthin`s changed gun`-wise speakin`, that is, in 230 years:

“The attack was made in September 1782;
the Indians had surrounded the place before they were discovered but they were still at some distance; the alarm was given on which every man ran to his cabin for his gun and took refuge in the blockhouse;
the fire of the Indians was answered by that of five or six brave and skilful sharp shooters “
“Pennsylvania Archives.”, p.454 1790 ed.

It really was a bad idea to make a mau mau tribesman’s grandson the Commander in Chief.

How about making the son of a foreigner Coyote in Chief?

Maybe our founding fathers had a good idea with that "Natural Born Citizen" requirement.

Too bad we ignored it twice. Shall we try for three?

Ever notice something? Mexican thieves steal power tools. Black thieves steal TV sets.

The roasting for cannibalism was chilling, to say the least.

...probably the most disturbing scene I’ve ever seen in a film...

It's true.

A long time ago I ran with a crowd of losers. In the periphery of my circle of loser friends was another circle that occasionally intersected ours. The "head" of that circle had a crew of Mexicans working for him. They stole everything under the sun but something I observed was that they only stole stuff they could make money with; tools, construction material, paint and sandpaper for auto shops, etc. And, yes, workboots. They never stole TVs, Playstations, bling or any of that garbage.

Doesn't make them better or worse, just different.

I guess tools are useful for fixing and fortifying things. Blacks just want to be entertained.
