Oh what a night.....I'm up again totally awake and happen to click over a few sites to see that all HELL is breaking loose in Ferguson which is part of St. Louis from the best I can tell.
First of all the looting is a "protest"...and I use that term loosely....of a young black male being shot and killed by a white police officer. I haven't read all the stories or seen all of the news about it. What I have heard is he hit an officer in the head with a bottle and it was all still under investigation.
Sooooo because it's still under investigation I guess "they" think they can speed things up by tearing down crap and stealing everything and anything in site. I mean seriously I don't ever envision myself running through a busted window and filling my arms with stuff unless it was a SHTF scenario and I had to feed my family. In that case all laws would be out the window anyway.
Honestly, these people are busting through the Cracker Barrel, which I think is racist on their part because you KNOW they picked that place for the name...Cracker = Cracka?? Maybe they were just taking a snack break? Who knows? And one dude busted up in the tire store and walked out with ONE rim....ONE. Now everyone is going to know who he is when he's rollin and got one rim spinnin. Now you know Hibbett's was a big hit. I haven't seen that many people running through a shoe store since Belk's advertised boots for $19.99 on Black Friday. People were reaching and grabbing single shoes as they ran out the door. Everybody's gonna know you got your shoes at Hibbett's on riot night when you come strollin the street with mix-matched Jordans. I wonder how that glass felt to the woman who ran across it in her slippers with her hair rollers? Family Dollar and Convenience stores got equal treatment and they had their windows broken out for some .50 candy, smokes and Colts. Probably would've served them better to grab some rubber gloves, water and canned goods because you know that EBOLA is coming. Then I swear I saw someone carrying hair out of some cheap department store. Who steals hair????
It would all be laughable if it wasn't so sad. They aren't helping the kid or his family. They aren't helping at all. The ones that are hurt are the business owners and employees who had absolutely nothing to do with the incident. If they put half the effort into doing something positive in their community as they are in tearing it down they might have better results.
