Most of the Businesses Destroyed in the Ferguson Riot Were Owned By Minorities

The fact that Ferguson, MO’s businesses played no role at all in the shooting of Michael Brown did not save them. Many were destroyed Monday night. Unknown rioters set fire to some, and either those same rioters or others fired upon the fire fighters who braved the violence to try putting the fires out. Some rioters looted stores and shops that were owned by minorities who live in the community.

The orgy of violence will leave Ferguson a “ghost town,” according to this bewildered resident. She says that she came out Monday night just to make sure that the rioters had not destroyed her place of work.

“I mean, this is crazy,” she said. “I mean, the business didn’t do anything. If they were going to do something, get the right people, if they have to do it.”

She added that the AutoZone, which is seen burning in the background, was where she purchased her auto parts.

CNN’s Sara Sidner asked the resident what she thinks will happen to the community now that so many businesses have burned.

“They’re not gonna rebuild,” she answered. “It’s just gonna be like a ghost town.”

They need to leave Ferguson just the way it is right now. Don’t clean up a damn thing. A perfect memorial to their “gentle giant”.

And in a year they will wonder why nobody wants to open a business in their wee town.

Newark rioted in the sixties, and it has never recovered from those riots.

They should have been prepared before the announcement like the Koreans were during the Rodney King riots.

In a few years, we may hear complaints from the locals that businesses have abandoned their community.

Wonder why? [/s]

How many of those 40-some, per FoxNews, businesses that were vandalized or burned down will want to rebuild in that area?

The business property insurance rates for next year are going to be sky high, thanks to the vandals and protesters.

“The fact that Ferguson, MO’s businesses played no role at all in the shooting of Michael Brown did not save them.”

One of the business that was looted was the store that had the security tape of Brown robbing the store. So they had to be punished.

That's ok, you watch Obama will be signing an executive order soon paying to rebuild their businesses bigger and better and at no charge! It is just unfair they lost their businesses because of a “bad” cop’

Look at it this way:

The rioters and looters wanted to lash out at Whitey. Instead, they ended up shooting themselves in the chest.

It may be a fatal wound. In that case, it couldn’t happen to more deserving folks.

she had only opened her store recently after years of scrimping and saving to realize her dream...

Not to mention local property taxes. Whites will pack up and leave and the rot begins. What liberalism has wrought.

That’s what the business owners get for being successful. They make the Ferguson Ferals look bad.

They certainly weren’t owned by Korean minorities, or they would still be standing.

This is intentional.

After all, it bolsters the Left’s claim blacks rampage because of institutional racism.

They never get ahead, that’s why they do it.
