This is a very good public service announcement, I think I will make a donation to this

Darren Wilson Supporters Crowdfund #PantsUPDontLOOT Ferguson Billboard
Don Alexander of Brentwood, Tenn., raised the over $3,000 to place the billboard in the Ferguson area amid months of racial tensions vandalism from riots following the Aug. 9 shooting death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

On the Indiegogo crowdfunding page, Alexander wrote, "This crowdfunding campaign is for the purchase of a billboard in the Ferguson, MO area. The billboard will display black text on a white background with the text #PantsUPDontLoot."

Not surprising this came from someone who resides in a conservative Nashville suburb like Brentwood Tn. He probably doesn't have any interest in improving the quality of life in Ferguson or the LE who are involved.

I hate the sagging pants thing. I hate looting.

I think his time and money could have been better spent on something to help police officers make it through this difficult time or to promote peaceful demonstration if he wanted to go that route.

Dons work seems like someone who isn't focused or who just want to be confrontational to a small degree and upset people of Ferguson.

Well, if atheists can plant their anti-Jesus billboards in the bible belt, I don't see anything wrong with a concerned citizen in Tenn. wanting to have his say on Ferguson.

He can do what he wants; its his right as much a liberals have done too many times to count.. Its like liberals saying Tea Party is dangerous when we look at the violence differences and they are not hard to see. From new reports most of the looters are not from that town

Cool, good idea for a billboard.

They need one for Ferguson business owners if there are animals rioting:

In case of Riot:

Shoot
Shovel
Shut Up
It's how we deal with vicious predators

Im questioning the motive. There are many other ways to lend you support to officers or to support peaceful protest. I would love to hear him tell that to the protesters face.
