Not ONE arrest last night in the bottle and rock throwing and looting of the convenience store and hair salon? The Highway Patrol are only standing by and watching all this lawlessness take place? Unbelievable. Whatever happened to law and order? I'd move my business out of there. That city will die like Detroit did.

Not really. This is what this circus has turned into.
Probably sent a message loud and clear to the looters..."Open for business".

Since the police are seen as the bad guys why didn't Al Sharpton show up and stop those looters ?

So, now we've got flea market sales material and some pimped out girlfriends of crooks and thugs but no more stores/jobs/taxes for that city.
If I was the QT corporation I'd put in some self service pumps with a bullet proof kiosk to pay and that's it.

Way to go! Way to make your city better!
In 10 years when the place is a wasteland they'll blame racism and white people for the decay of their town and lack of businesses.

Because he and Jesse are too busy egging it on with statements like "it's not over yet, the worst is yet to come" type comments.

Can't make $$$$$ and get camera time by calming the waters.
I think if I were a looted store owner last night I'd have to consider suing the city/state for not doing the job that they're paid to do which is to prevent/stop the chaos that erupted.

They clearly could've or should've seen where the gang was going and cut 'em off or arrested them as they came out from their "shopping trip".

Too afraid of what would be said if they did. So, it all comes down to they're more afraid of Obama,Holder,Sharpton,Jackson,Crump and MSNBC than they are interested in protecting tax paying upstanding citizens and business.
