It WAS definitely a "large on small" crime, though. The clerk he roughed up was quite a bit smaller.
I was being factitious of course. Regardless of race the shop owner did not deserve to be robbed, and Michael Brown should not have been shot so many times after he fled.
"decent people of Ferguson"
I though most of the Activist and trouble makers were from outside of Ferguson, according most of the Arrest reports
I think most of them are. That's why I hope the decent people of Ferguson do not become their victims. Like I said, I think the number of animalistic thugs will be pretty small. And as many will be white as black. We have mindless criminals of all races.
The Police were the first to act violently before the protest had gained steam. There were of course violent acts towards the Police as well, but if you don't want all Police criticized for the actions of an individual, don't criticize protesters that way.
That is just NOT true. Michael Brown died on Saturday afternoon. The first 'riot' was Sunday evening and the Police just stood by after they finally arrived an hour & 1/2 later. The Police were not even there when the Quick Trip was looted and then set fire. The looting was rampant and the Police just stood by and then arrested people they caught looting when the crowd settled a bit. No Tear Gas, No Riot Gear, No Mace ..... they stood by and the public (other than the rioters) wanted to know why the Police allowed the destruction. The photos and tweets from the reporter are all time-stamped.
The Riots started again on Sunday and this time the Police were prepared for it ..... as they should be.
It's their JOB to protect property and people. The "peaceful protestors" hit the Galleria, Walmarts and other stores. THEY started the whole thing, not the Police. All of the news media have published Timelines of the Ferguson and St Louis War Zone.

Maybe some of the Black Thugs can kill some of the White ones. Net loss of one more thug.

Oh but it is true. Many people had showed up to protest and there were high tensions, but not violence. The riots started after a militarized Police force showed up, with dogs, and became aggressive towards the crowd.
I watched the entire thing on live stream. Watched every night for at least the first week.
I've already stated there were incidents of violence towards the Police, but they occurred after the first night of unrest. Everybody was still finding out the details at that point. The story was still spreading.
I wasn't on the ground to confirm, but have been following certain protesters since the beginning. Of course they could be lying and/or be biased, but I've heard that from multiple sources.

If Brown choose to grab a cop's gun......Brown choose to be shot.
All the left vs. right, KKK vs. black, black vs. white and visa versa, cops vs. demonstrators garbage and posturing aside, for those who don't live in Missouri, deer hunting season opened last weekend. A large portion of the population hunts. That means their guns are in their homes and ready for use. I would certainly hate to think of the possible consequences of demonstrators getting out of control and targeting anyone's homes and/or businesses. Conversely, I would hate to think of police over-reaction as well. None would bode good for anyone.
Time for everyone to calm down and let the courts do their job. Seventy-three pages of speculation and rabble rousing is not helpful. Nor is the MSM's creed of, "If it bleeds it leads!"
