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.

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

I bet the next time the local police benefit association calls, they'll get an earful, but no money.

I say bring in Sheriff Clarke.

Bloomberg Defeated By Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke

In recent weeks, Michael Bloomberg’s campaign against gun rights have continued without abatement, as the New York City billionaire aimed his checkbook at Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a strong supporter of the right of people to keep and bear arms for their defense. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Bloomberg, through his political action committee, Independence USA, spent $150,000 on advertisements to unseat Sheriff Clarke in this week’s Democratic primary.

However, as many of you may already know, Bloomberg failed. Sheriff Clarke won on Tuesday by 52-48 percent and is expected to win re-election in November.

The police: minutes away when seconds count, and when they arrive they will be there to disarm and arrest YOU for defending your property against a thug.

Store owners need to sue the city.

All citizens pay taxes for police protection but 90% of police time in medium sized cities is spent babysitting the ‘black community’.

It’s not fair. Let them pay for their own protection.

I don’t pay an ‘average’ power bill - shared with the liberal elite in his mansion. He pays his power bill - I pay mine. It should be the same with police protection. Tack the charge onto people’s electic bills and change by city block.

If living near criminals cost money - the black culture’s attitude toward crime would change.

Products of the (not so) Great Society. When you and everyone around you has everything given to you a sense of entitlement grows until eventually you convince yourself that stealing is okay. Go to any State or National park in the country and you will see the same sign “Do not feed the animals”. The same concept applies here.

Call the Texas Rangers! You know the old story, “one riot, one ranger.”

But who was it who once said you couldn’t run a railroad without machine guns?

Don’t you miss the good old days of belt-fed crowd control?

Yeah, I know, it’s hard to get into a good enfilade position in an urban-suburban setting.

But nothing, nothing, says “area denial” quite like a handful of claymore mines.

Just sayin’

Do yourself a favor and google/bing search “1967 riots” or “race riots in America.”

Please God, bring this all to a head so we can get it over with once and for all. Amen. Followed by a prayer for our President Obeyme and his cabinet from Psalms 109...

I've been saying it for a couple of years. "Soon we are going to cross a line that once crossed we will never get back..." It matters not now if this was a righteous shoot or not. Its all the bad stuff that has happened before. All Ramboed-up no-knock warrants on the wrong address and shooting the people within because they thought they were being attacked by thugs (they were they just had badges and guns)... Shooting dogs that were in their own yard behind a fence because the officers "felt threatened"... Roided-up Rambos going postal on a traffic stop because a citizen legally refuses to have his car searched...

Pimping stories about bad cops is how the leftists are going to subvert our constitution and overthrow the US. The media routinely does this. And people routinely buy it. The goal is to have people hate and mistrust LAW ENFORCEMENT. Police are the symbol of the law for most people in the United States. When the leftists finally make their play, cops are going to be first ones targeted and because the media has conditioned people to think law enforcement is the problem the death of thousands innocent CONSERVATIVE cops will be cheered.

Obama hates police. He sides AGAINST police in any altercation or controversy. He's pushing the agenda.

“Got it covered already..”

I’m sure a “Glass Doctor” franchise will much more successful than that “Men’s Belt World” store in Ferguson I invested in a few years ago.

I’m afraid the real big bucks there are to be made in gun shops and providing plywood to permanently board over looted businesses.

Been saying the same for 5 days on here. Granted there is only a handful of them who push the left wing anti cop talk but I am surprised to see people on here repeat the left wing lies and talking points while ignoring what the looters, rioters and thugs are doing.

I know plenty of cops and not one of them is for Obama but there is a couple on here who I now have made a note of and will remember.

MD 20/20 really stands for “Mogen David.”

Kosher-for-passover wine was needed, but that’s used 1 week out of the year. So they had 51 weeks worth of manufacturing capability left over.

They had not tried to make “good wine” but rather made do with what they had -— Concord grapes for jelly, so it was not like they were going to go after Bordeax Cabs.

So they aimed low, and MD 20/20 was created.
