They are just hurting the people they claim to be protesting for.
This is the time many store make it or, not for the year........by making people want to avoid shopping in stores hurts the sales.
Some stores will close or, cut staff.
Then we will hear the jobs are gone and there are no stores in their part of town.
in the late 1960's the Blacks rioted in here in North Minneapolis, a bustling neighborhood that was largely Jewish & Black. They attacked Jews, burned their stores down, etc. The Jews all moved out to the suburbs. Those suburbs are hugely successful today. North Minneapolis was never rebuilt. I believe there is one supermarket on that entire side of the city. You can literally count the number of bars/restaurants that aren't fast food or strip clubs on one hand. No movie theater. No jobs. The worst schools in the metro area. No one in their right mind will ever invest their money in that side of the city again. This is the future of Ferguson.

Just look at Detroit.
Parts of 8 mile still have burned out buildings from 1968.
Protesters of the 60s and 70s were, for the most part, as clueless, childish, selfish and narcissistic as most are today. Like today's though, most will eventually grow up and become responsible adults.
It did finally get us out of Vietnam. Or maybe you think we should still be there?
I am not sure about that. Garner died of a heart attack. I am not sure how much the choke hold had to do with that. Obviously it contributed to the stress.
He died when the officer shot him point blank in the back of the head once in handcuffs laying in the street.
did anyone see the story about the looter in Ferguson who thought he was launching a molotov into a store and states that under all the confusion and smoke he threw it into his own home? That guy deserves the darwin award. I have to find the link.

I know what you mean.......but, I did not think it was true.
