These rioters don't know how hard shop owners work or the hopes and dreams poured into the businesses by the owners.

I was a business owner myself once upon a time. Back then, it was the most important thing in my life. It was my livelihood. It was my baby. I spent countless hours working.

Every time I see news on riots and lootings, I feel a sharp pain for the business owners affected.

And yes, I've been accused of being a racist for saying that.

The rioters do not care.

The business insurance will not cover the cost due to civil unrest.

People need to respect the rule of law, no matter what the jury decides. Put the national guard on standby. If people on either side of this issue riot then shoot to kill.

Ferguson will shoot back. There will be a bloodbath. Too many people saw what happened for a "white" wash to go unchallenged.

While they are out looting someone will break into their homes and steal their Stuff.

There is no honor among thieves.

The rioters WILL lose and lose bad. Too; most of the punks WILL turn tail and run once they see guns pointing at them because their kind are cowards if the odds go "even". Then the bodies of the few hard heads will be collected later.

IMHO there WON'T be a full on riot, just a feeling here.

On a Sunday night? Seriously, how many of those protesters are waking up to head into the office on Monday morning?

I personally don't think if the GJ does not indict that there will be a real riot. It's getting cold at night.

There will be riots and it won't just be in Ferguson. There will be cities burning across the nation, St. Louis, Chicago, Milwaukee, LA. This will look like after the MLK shooting. Black people will not tolerate their male children being gunned down by white vigilantes and cops who are subsequently found "innocent" of their crime.
