The Other Story in Ferguson.

This was emailed to me. It's very strange that there was reporting ad nauseam about demonstrations and die-ins by those throughout the US after the grand jury decision in Ferguison. Very little or Nothing was reported about the looting and destruction. THe victims of these lootings and destruction were Brown's neighbors and nearby businesses. Unfortunately, this will probably recur in NYC if the "correct" decision is not made concerning the death due to a police chokehold on the 300-lb black resisting arrest for illegally selling cigarettes on the street. What will Bloomberg, Schumer and other anti-2A New Yorkers say after that's finished? Sorry - the images of Fergusin looting and destruction didn't come through.
==========================
Looters in Ferguson, Mo. , were met with little or no police resistance Friday night and store owners were forced to protect their businesses with their own guns.

One store owner said on the first night of the protesting, "There are no police here. We trusted the police to keep it peaceful, but they didn't do their job."

This is fact… real history, and should be sent to every home in America . Sadly most won’t forward this message and many people will quickly delete it, and run and hide from the message contained here.

In essence, they are surrendering to mob rule, thieves and murderers, who turn out in times of trouble to break into stores; steal, burn, and destroy the property of innocent people.

Often, the police hide or watch from a distance; sometimes because they are out-numbered or would be criticized for police brutality if they interfered, and could even be sued if one of these low-life criminals would be injured by them.

Dozens of businesses along West Florissant Ave. in Ferguson , Missouri were ransacked and robbed by rioters, including Target, Dollar General, Wal-Mart, liquor stores, automotive stores and a QuikTrip was burned down.

Hundreds of business owners and their employees had to run and hide in terror as waves of rioters arrived; some with guns.

MANY HIDE THEIR FACES.

Cleanup by shop owners in the after math!

But not everyone cowered in fear… some took action!

History shows us that those who are armed and protecting their homes or businesses cause the thieves to seek easier targets for their violence and theft.

Some businesses in the Ferguson riots escaped looting.

Why these businesses avoided destruction of their property and saved their livelihood should be a lesson for politicians.

Some business owners with their employees and friends stood firm, right outside their establishments, ready to take on all comers.

Why? Because they were armed to the teeth!

At Riverfront Tattoo and the adjacent gun store, owners Mike Gutierrez ( below left) and Adam Weinstein (third from left) brought AR-15s, body armor and lots of high-capacity magazines (the type Obama wants banned) to guard their store against bedlam.

Rioters passed right by the store.

Mally’s Supermarket was protected by armed men and it was untouched.

As was Sam’s Meat Market.

And a beauty supply store owned by Asians.

No looting or damage to any of these businesses.

Do you wonder why!

And the lesson for politicians and all liberal gun-grabbing Democrats is that being armed — and armed to the teeth — is the ONLY defense against a rioting mob.

The lesson should have been learned for good after the 1992 L.A. Riots, when only shop owners in Koreatown were spared because they defended their stores with force of arms:

The right to bear arms must be sacred!

The shop owners and people in these examples worked hard for the life they have. To deny them of the best tools possible to protect themselves and their property is criminal.

A lot of people (particularly young, idealistic, un-mugged-as-yet-by-reality people) do not understand how fragile the social compact can be. Do some research on quite recent religious atrocities in Africa and the Mid-East (such as pulling people off a bus in Kenya and executing those who cannot recite a particular verse.)

With the new guidance Eric Holder has said he will issue regarding racial profiling, I would expect the word to spread like wildfire through the entire police community of the USA: "don't let yourself get caught as the next Darrell Wilson. The National Power did not get the result they wanted and are itching for another example."

I suspect there are dangerous neighborhoods that just became much more dangerous.

The dummy who made that decision wanted to make sure that all students and workers would have plenty of time to get home before the streets were made unsafe.
