Riots in Ferguson Mo

[good samaritan]

I wonder if the rioters where close to the victum. I can understand close friends and family losing it for little while(still not the answer). But if some person two blocks down who hardly knew the victum is out rioting I would say that is disgraceful. My prayers go out the family in their time of need and also all the innocent that this is affecting.

The local news just reported that most of the people arrested for rioting are not from the Ferguson area.

And also others tried to rob a shoe store that is nowhere near Ferguson.

I'll say it if nobody else will concerning the rioters....

There is a certain element within the Afro-American community that is looking for an excuse to attack white people and burn their property. That element (which I maintain is a small minority within the Afro-American community) really could not care less about the young man that was killed. They are just playing out their irrational hatred of the white race.

I agree...

Another sad story, laced with race.

This is a very sad story. From all witness accounts, it appears that the officer may have murdered this boy. The officer should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Regardless of what happened, rioting, theft, and looting people who are connected in no way to the crime, is absurd, and those who have done such should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law as well.

I am not sure what to make of this because I am not sure if white businesses are being targetted simply because they are owned by white people.

Asian and black businesses that are in the path of rioters have been looted in times past as well as in this situation.

If these people really wanted to sock it to white people, and if that was there goal, then there would be other, more efficient means, to do this.

While there are people who are looking for an opportunity to steal, to say that the looters are specifically targetting whites is something you can't prove.

I agree. I doubt the one's rioting and looting care much if a store is white-owned or minority-owned. And I doubt they have much of a connection to the victim or community. They're just **troublemakers and thugs who love causing mayhem, love violence, love stealing and cause problems.

You'll not only find **these people at shootings like this, but also after every sports championship game where their team wins, and after a natural disaster (ex: Katrina).

They're a bunch of idiots. It's offensive to the memory of Michael Brown to do what they're doing, but they don't care.

**Just to be clear -- by "these people," I don't mean one particular race. I mean troublemakers, thugs, etc of any race -- asian, black, hispanic, white, etc.
