in Ferguson, I hope a coke cost $5, and they stop selling tobacco and lottery. QT should charge $5 for a gal of gas. In fact, nothing in that place should be a penny under $5.

Can't believe no one has mentioned roof Koreans yet.
One of the threads had a bunch of Roof Koreans, photos, links to videos.
During the riots a whole bunch of locals surrounded the bakery and linked arms, turned back the looters from the bakery. It was still damaged first, before the local crowd stopped them.
There's been a number of businesses receiving help from citizens there and online from elsewhere. People cleaning up messes, donating to rebuild. The bakery lady needed $20K and got over ten times that. She was interviewed, said with the help she met all Thanksgiving orders.
Wonder if she will donate to help some other businesses?

The "Roof Korean Effect" Still Lives!!!

This is all on the heads of Governor Nixon and Police Chief Jackson. They claimed all sorts of plans, ready to handle anything. Turned out they were completely unready. Should have been National Guard in the town and on patrol before the Grand Jury announcement. Should have been police and Guard teamed up and positioned at businesses all across the town.
Another thing, a pastor was interviewed. Said his parishioners told him they knew of people planning to loot and burn specific businesses. His parishioners protected what they could but the police were told and the police ignored the information.
Who thinks the "Pastor" did it to get attention?
I do.[:0]
We have heard your message loud and clear and we hereby announce fundamental changes in how we conduct police and fire business within Ferguson city limits.
1. We will no longer hire any police officer or fireman who is White and we will immediately release all White officers currently employed here. The remaining non-White officers and firemen will all be promoted to Co-Chief and will perform office duties only.
2. In light of the complete lack of first responders, we will no longer respond to any 911 call in the city. In the unfortunate event that you are being robbed, assaulted or on fire, please feel free to contact Al Sharpton, or any local drug-addicted psychopathic thug.
3. In the absence of any investigative personnel, we will be unable to prosecute any alleged act of self-defense which may or may not have been committed by a citizen or business owner in fear of crime.
Thank you,
Former Chiefs of Ferguson Fire and Police

Perfect!
Various news reports list well over a hundred arrests. Most for little stuff, disorderly conduct and the like. Have not heard if a single instigator / looter / arsonist was caught.

We could also apply blame to the criminals.
If the people you hire to protect you show themselves to be incompetent, you blame them for it that failing and fire their *.
Anybody remember Ray Nagin?
Put every item on a high shelf with sign saying "Ask for help obtaining items on high shelf".
Everyone reaching with hands up gets shot.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
'Liquor store?...Nah, we don't have one anymore'
Somehow I don't think that the entrepeneurs out there will overlook that lucrative market. Even if it gets burned down 6 months from now they still made a helluva return on investment [}:)]
