IN FERGUSON: Police cars, businesses on fire, "much worse than the worst night" in August

[Yo_Mama]

24. Well, that's where the protests have been before.

The only people I blame for the torched and/or looted businesses are the ones who did it. Anything else is not rational.

I've been in protests before, and nothing the police could ever do would make me start a fire or loot a business. NOTHING. I guarantee you that the vast majority of the people out there in the street protesting weren't involved. The family asked for this not to happen. There are civil rights and civil responsibilities, and there cannot be one without the other. Those who did the burning and looting are violating other people's rights. I have no respect for them whatsoever.

My heart bleeds for Brown's family. My heart also bleeds for the owners of the businesses, some of them black locals, who just got wiped out by a few bad eggs, and even more so for the locals, probably many of them black, who worked in those businesses and now face a holiday season probably without an income.

People are blaming the authorities for the late announcement, but the school systems asked for an evening announcement for the children's safety.

I don't know quite what to say - it's a bad situation all the way around. Last night just made it worse.

Tell you what, I believe that there were some who came to do just that, and that even if the cop had been indicted there would have been looting and burning. Because they don't care about Brown or his family. They're out for themselves.

The media, now, they are not making anything better, but they have a constitutional right to be there just as the protesters do.
