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.

It’s silly tailoring. It’s supposed to LOOK like the pants are falling, but they are not. Probably they have supporting waistbands built into them.

I mirror your comment!

Declare it anathema forever. And watch your freedom shrink!

How do you draw such an unsupported conclusion?

And I can hear the sarcasm dripping off of your words. You are the one who ARE playing the game of evil, RIGHT NOW!

Can you imagine the chaos that would have resulted if a store owner had a gunfight with looters?

Robinson is derelict in his duty. His solution is to wait out the rioters until they get bored with rioting, burning, & looting.

There is NO LAW in Ferguson. Robinson advocates citizens take the law in their own hands. That is state sponsored anarchy.

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

Post smaller pics, big pics cause the whole thread’s text to be so small it cannot be read.

Maybe in your browser but not mine.

Reporter said they came back the second time to clear out the liquor shelves the beer frig and the meat counter. Once they know they have checkmated law inforcement and the law they are free to roam and offically comitt crimes. The media immedaitley jumps on the racial bandwagon, lines up all the racial clowns to be interviewed and bad mouths the police. As time goes on the truth will come out and by that time no one will care

The owner should sue Ferguson for every bit of damage. What is he paying taxes for?

It's already been established that the cops have no legal compunction to actually defend and protect those they "serve". They are becoming a third world brown shirt organization that are more dangerous to Joe Blow than to the actual bad guys.

That says a lot about the local community, little of it good.

I’d seen the first pic early on, after the first night of looting. Note the pistol in the big guy’s waistband. Providing voluntary freelance store security I am sure.
