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.

Leftists have always loved the criminal element. They would love to see law and order completely crumble and all hell break loose everywhere. Then, a few will gain power with the claim of “restoring order”. In truth, leftists are fascist thugs.

I wonder whether the libertarians are that much better. For them, the problem is scary-looking but timid cops rather than hoods running wild.

“FIRE Robinson immediately & replace him with someone who believes in law enforcement.”

When it comes right down to it, tribal self-identification is paramount among those hyphenated Americans who feel they can only trust those of the same hue.

There was a time when we considered ourselves Americans first, with much in common with our fellow citizens. No longer.

This is only the beginning of the chaos.

I trust God through Christ for my soul in eternity.

I trust AK for keeping people away from my family
in my house.

A logical conclusion, if a black population won’t tolerate a police force doing its job they will just have to live without police and businesses which depend upon police protection.

Let them find their own solution to the criminal problems. But also let them be warned that police will remain in non-black areas where they are wanted.

Commit crimes here and we will have justice and your not going to complain about how it is handled.
