http://www.vice.com/read/the-ferguson-grand-jury-has-finally-reached-a-decision-1124 Not much of a surprise. No indictment, and violence erupts. Gonna be a crazy night in St. Louis.
Of course the failure to indict him is because the grand jury is all racist, and not because they heard all the evidence and didn't find enough reason to indict.
Yes, loot. Loot your own businesses. Not go after the police or something. Destroy your own neighborhood
That's the last thing you want to do. That's pretty much what happened in the Trayvon Martin case, cops showed up, figured out the preliminary facts, and realized this was probably a self defense case. Then the political bullshit rolls in, people start protesting without knowing the facts, they just know a black kid got killed and they're pissed. So Florida appoints a special prosecutor, has a whole trial and wastes a ton of time and money, when all the legal experts with half a brain realized there was no chance in hell of convicting him for 2nd degree murder.
An officer was just shot. Looks like Black Friday came early. Prices were so good it was like stealing. Don't worry they all have work am and it will all be over soon.
They burned down an O'Reiley Auto Parts. Jesus Christ...I understand the cop cars, but the auto parts store had nothing to do with it. Why burn them down? Burn down the police station ffs, if you gotta burn something. Or you know...learn the facts of the case, realize that this was exactly how the verdict should have been, and stop acting like wild fuckin animals.
Work will be cleaning up the job sites they just destroyed Rioting and destroying your own job and neighborhood is like a kid getting grounded and deciding he is going to break his own Xbox to get back at his parents.
Oh, those poor black people. We gave them all of Detroit. Look at what they did to it. We gave them all of Atlanta. I wouldn't even drive through there. We gave them all of Harlem. Forget about it !! Two wrongs don't make a right. Rioting and burning down buildings isn't going to solve a damned thing. If anything, it's just going to bring us closer to Martial Law. And another thing. It all boils down to actions and consequences. In this day and age, the most ruthless gang to be leery of is the police (sad but true). If you're a parent that cares about your kids, you'll teach them to never put themselves in a situation that warrants police contact. Stealing is one of those situations. When I was younger, I would never have stolen something to "look cool and hard" and I sure as Hell wouldn't have shoved a store owner or store employee and threatened to punch them as I walk out with my stolen merchandise. Parents nowadays aren't raising well mannered children, they are raising savage beasts with no respect for others or other's property. Actions and consequences. What got the police called there in the first place ? Shoplifting and assault on the store owner. No theft, no police interaction. Raise your kids the correct way and chances are they'll live to be a ripe old age. It's as simple as that.
Apparently... link? I looked but the best I could find was this article talking about 100 people protesting at a park in LA, 50 people in Detroit and Pittsburgh, several hundred people marching in Philly, peaceful protesting in Oakland, protesters in New York pushing through the metal police barricades but that hardly sounds like a "riot" I'm not saying you're wrong, I just can't find any news about it
