Enjoy the rising crime and civil disorder that follows.

Oh, no doubt. And then there's the ridiculous grandstanding over this Ferguson DOJ report. Obama and Holder are going to do some damage. In fact, they already have:

I fully expect Oakland to be wrecked by the inhabitants.

They are overdue for a riot.

That article was from Jan and referenced last years stats when the PD was at odds with the Mayor, an article from Feb or March would have some meaning.

Self-initiated policing didn't work so well in Ferguson.

Well, in the last few days some black "teen" was shot by a police officer after said "teen" tried to and began to attack him. Of course, this "teen's" mother is a member of the hedinitdonuffin crowd so people are protesting and walking around like uninformed morons claiming that he was shot for no reason.

"The Ferguson effect is coming to a city near you..."

I doubt that.
Most people in Montana would not put up with mobs like that. There would likely be armed citizens stopping them in their tracks, ESPECIALLY if the mob was mostly out-of-state agitators!
It didn't happen here in the 1960s, I don't anticipate it happening now

This is Oakland. There have been riots before. Call me a cynic, but people with alot of anger, nothing to lose, and lack of care will do things like this.
