Ferguson Grand Jury: No Indictment for Darren Wilson in Michael Brown Shooting

a reply to: mr-lizard

I'm amazed that thing is still burning. Really hoping everyone is smart enough to steer clear.

You know, it's pretty disturbing and disappointing that so many seem to be gleefully mocking the situation. Are you guys happy that they are rioting? Are you guys happy that a portion of our society feels so disenfranchised as to decimate their own community? That's what hopelessness gets you, self-destruction.

Maybe that sort of social and cultural disregard is exactly the attitude that the Ferguson Police bring to the job everyday.

Honestly, if people begin to riot over a court case's result, then what is the point of having a court?

Unless the court became corrupt, then there is no point.

oh the boston tea party argument again.

have we not been through this about 17 times in the past week?

if you cant see the difference between this and that, then i dont know what to tell you

Destruction of property to protest mistreatment of common men by the authorities. What's the difference? Tories said it was an awful thing back then.

I think there's a big difference between racism and not supporting people that trash local businesses. I don't care what color someone is, if you start looting you're acting like an animal. I've seen far more black people calming others down than white people. It's not about race. It's about basic decency. There is no reason to start trashing people's property because you're mad at the system.

Not saying I haven't seen some comments I suspect were fueled by racism, but let's not say anyone who compares a rapist, a looter or a murderer to an animal is being racist.

So the Americans who participated in the Boston Tea Party were just dirty animals?

comparing this to the boston tea party? That had to do with taxes LOL the tax act actually..

You cannot compare looting to that LOL..

We have some very strange opinions here.. I think some people are being to sensitive to skin color and not right and wrong behavior.

But that is the point, isn't it?

A segment of society feels disenfranchised from the system and that there is no recourse for injustice.

How is the looting and arson we're seeing anything like the Boston Tea Party? How do the McDonald's, the Walgreen's, the liquor store, and the beauty shop connect to the actions of the Ferguson PD and the lack of an idictment?

Or maybe you're a little too sensitive to this situation.... Time to detach yourself from the convo if you are becoming too touchy... Maybe a good nights rest will help you out, bud...

Now, to the topic at hand... Looting and Rioting accomplishes nothing.. Hurting local businesses does nothing for the community.. These protesters are hurting their community and all these poor/innocent business owners...
