As the sun came up this morning in Ferguson, Missouri, it revealed destroyed businesses, burnt cars and wreckage from the riots that erupted after a grand jury cleared Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of teenager Michael Brown.
A row of scorched cars covered in soot sat in a parking lot in nearby Dellwood, a manager surveyed the burned down building of the gas station where she works, and business owners assessed smashed windows and rubble from the fires.

“The riots are already over?”
No they just sleeping off their hangover. The news said people are worried they will riot again tonight.
Here is another moral outrage.
This was another golden opportunity for our second black president to lay the blame where it belongs, with individuals and whole communities of a particular race acting irresponsibility and illegally. He could have reminded them that acting illegally is what killed Michael Brown, and that others with similar approaches to life should shape up.
I’m outraged that he placed the blame on our “legal system”.
True Story: Every year, Black Expo is held in Indiapolis at our convention center. In MOST years, there are gang shootings associated with this event. A few years ago there were 4 or 5 shootings downtown after the convention let out. In addition, there are fights at local restaraunts etc. A couple years ago, one particular, popular chain restaraunt, decided to close early while the convention was in town. They were vilified as being racist. Their explanation was very capitalistic. Paraphrasing... "We lose a significant amount of money during this week of the year. We have to repair the store, hire extra staff because the restaraunt is packed. There have been fights in our store and the patrons loiter in the store without buying food. We also have a lot of folks leave without paying for food."
Leave everything as it is as a fitting reminder of the values of the black community.
"Brown’s parents Michael Brown, Sr. and Lesley McSpadden said in a statement, “We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions. While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.”
The "system" that allowed this to happen is not teaching your child-ren manners, honesty, humility, and belief in The Almighty....The Browns may come to accept the fact that their child came to face the consequences of his actions.
Where are they going to spend their Obama Bucks and Food stamps now ?
Did ABC bother to inquire about ‘where the hell was the National Guard’? Didn’t think so...
This is why they can’t have nice things.
I’m curious, If Racism is “Institutional” as they claim, and it is rooted in Our Constitution and the founders of this great country, why didn’t the Unions BUS all these Rioters to Washington DC, where the very Heart of this Institutional Racism supposedly comes from??
If YOU don’t want to be successful... destroy others’ success! :)
And the National Guard is still in position and on alert.
Same thing happens every year in Myrtle Beach, SC during black biker week. The city has told them that they are no longer welcome, but they keep coming.
"Let dem touch dose tings for once."
Looters will be shot used to be the watchword for riots.
I'd make some popcorn for that.
am estimating Billions before Ferguson is left to burn and we are primed for numbers beyond Trillions nationally, if someone doesn’t have the courage to act responsibly quickly, but is only an opinion. May I be wrong.
Thanks for the ping.
It’s EXACTLY what it looks like after a Tea Party Protest!!
