i saw the video. why does an unarmed man twice my size and 1/2 my age, coming into my store grabbing me by the throat and flinging me around & then robbing me, not make me feel relaxed and safe? after all he is unarmed. i must be paranoid.
i am sure that nothing like this has ever happened before and this is the first time this store owner has ever had this happened. no reason for anybody to fly off the handle about it.

Here's what happened last night:

Black Ferguson Resident: “Why Didn’t They Shoot Those Looters?” (Video) | The Gateway Pundit
** Liquor Store Looted
** Sam’s Meat Market
** Chinese restaurant (for second time this week)
** Beauty Supply Store Looted
** Electronics Store Looted
** Domino’s Pizza fire – May have been inside the business
** Bus Stop Vandalized
** At least one person shot
** Bottles Thrown at police!
I'm against the looting. There was and is never a need for this.

I don't see how stealing and destroying businesses in the area will help things.

Just a gentle giant looking for a box of swishers so he could make his blunts.

I said making gang signs didn't mean one was in a gang.
Clearly stated in my post..actually the sentence you removed when you quoted me.

Now, your link to back up those "20 shots" ......

I guess if you owned a book store store you had nothing to worry about.

Am I that obvious?

No, but seriously, this is what ALWAYS happens. They get rid of the old guard and replace them with someone more PR friendly.

Bush got rid of that incompetent ugly, bald-headed Homeland Security chief that bungled the Katrina rescue operation and replaced him with someone that looked better with more experience.

Watch. When this is over. You'll see that old man replaced with someone younger and more attractive.

You realize that no sidearm has this capacity, except with a specialized big azz drum magazine. They are very, very obvious. Shot with one these and the target is swiss cheesed. Unlikely, improbable and ridiculous that one can contend "....when he shot him 20 times...".
