There was a devastating result from the store looking. The town of Ferguson has had untold damage to its future. The retail businesses have been destroyed and are out of business. Anyone thinking of opening business there will face prohibitive insurance costs and risks. Existing businesses will move out and jobs will dry up. It will be a long time for that city to recover. This is the lesson that the departure from the rule of law teaches. It should have been learned from the Watts Riots of 1965. That economy has never recovered from that tragedy. All it does is lock more youths into the illegal drug industry when there are no other job opportunities.

So, so true. Devastatingly true. And then there’s this. What about the people of Ferguson who took no part in the riots? What about those whose transportation is limited, and who depended on the Quick Trip? With no say in the matter, they have had their lives turned upside down for the worse.

It’s a horrible situation. And nobody—not Sharpton, Obama, Holder, etc.—made a serious effort to control matters before the damage was done. As ‘leaders’ they are worse than useless.
