What I don't get is why the protesters would set fire to and destroy their own neighborhoods. They even burned down a meat and liquor store. I would think they would have wanted to have that store.
it's called anger... and a lot of people damage their own property when they get angry.
I'm sure most people on here have thrown a remote, kicked a door, broke a glass, etc...
Once you calm down you realize it wasn't that smart but it's not like they could go to the Police Station or Wilson's home.
Wilson had been a cop for 5 years. He'd never used his firearm in the line of duty, nor has he ever been accused of any wrong doing as a cop.
MB is a thug who just robbed a convenience store and assaulted the clerk.
And you say "we don't know who attacked who". That is true, we don't know, but they say that history is the best indicator of the future.
how far back does this history go?
and who gets to decide what can be used as an indicator of the future.
Interesting that there are 187 (CA Penal Code for Murder) pages here of blather, bile and contention yet on the St. Louis board there are a mere 25 pages, mostly civilized.
I guess the difference is that most of us on the STL board live in Missouri. Here y'all come from all over. Strange!
I am actually okay with no indictment brought against the Thug Darren Wilson. Why go through a long drawn out trial when he would be found innocent anyway? The fix was in when deceased Michael Brown laid dead in the street over 4 hours.

Kinda like the anger you might experience when a cop stops you with stolen property in your hand, and you start beating the hell out of the cop and trying to take his gun? All this right after you've assaulted a clerk and robbed the joint? Yeah, I see what you mean.

Even Sharpton and the other talking heads on Msnbc can distinguish the difference between opportunistic criminals and the legit demonstrators.... why cant you?

Uh, history goes back to the beginning of time. But the more recent the history, the more relevant it is. I'd say <1 hour before is very relevant.
I think we should let the looters and thugs make up the law, how about you?
