Tearing up your own neighborhood will help exactly nobody in the long term. If anything, it will drive businesses away, it will prolong tensions and distrust in the area, and it will prolong the official investigation regarding the initial incident.

Therefore, if these morons are among those demanding justice because they believe that Darren Wilson is guilty of a felonious crime, then perhaps they should refrain from committing crimes as well (as it reeks of hypocrisy), and, of those who did commit such a crime, to turn themselves in.

All these scumbags deserve to be locked up. Zero fucking tolerance for this type of shit.

I understand what occurred two Saturdays ago is a sad situation, and it's caused a lot of outrage and controversy, but that does not give anyone the right to victimize others who weren't involved whatsoever.

How do you help bring justice with uncalled for crimes?

The more this continues to happen, the more others will side with the decision for law enforcement in the area to call in their 'militaristic' equipment in an effort to stem further crimes.

Yes, it is possible that the people committing the crimes are not residents of Ferguson, or that it's limited to a small group of agitators who are using the protests as cover, but I digress.

Glad the gang-affiliated robber is dead

One less thug on the streets. Viewing the video where he get thats old man by the neck or face and just pushes it. That wasnt cool. He looked like he thought he was a big tough guy, but in the end, just another loser dead.

kid wanted to act like a thug so he ended up like a thug...dead in the street.
wasn't there a dash cam in the cops vehicle?it may not have seen what happened but it had to have gotten the audio...
young black kids die all the time in similar neigborhoods by other black kids and nobody gives a damn.is their life worthless unless they are killed by a white cop or somebody other than another black? would seem that way.how many black teens or young adults have been killed since this bs happened that nobody heard about?were their deaths not news worthy?got some serious race card fatigue here.race of either aside...the issue should be
did a police officer gun down an unarmed unthreatening citizen or not?
the distraction of the whole racial hurricane a good smoke screen.

That depends on what you mean by "big". If you mean like Notorious BIG then yes he certainly was shot to death.

The fact of the matter is that there is an abundance of residents in this area that have little to no education, unemployed or not employable and will continue to do tomorrow what they are doing today: NOTHING. The senseless violence amongst their own race isn't an atrocity to protest, only when someone of another race is involved.

I was in the Ferguson area today and it, along with the bulk of North STL, is a huge shit hole. Same with ESTL. The most dilapidated areas in the region.

I am from St.Louis also. I am disgusted by what has happened here. The media has been ridiculous in their reporting "statistics" one national broadcast says 11 people Were arrested last night and another says it was 31??? People on east coast think there was only looting of huge stores like Walmart and QT and only looting on the night of shooting. That is total bullshit, people are looting any stores without armed guards and in their own city. Looting has happened every night since this happened. The whole thing is a tragedy, but to compound it by looting and burning all the businesses in your neighborhood you are not furthering your cause. Don't believe 1/2 the shit you read about what is reallllllly happening here.

Seems to be the case sadly. This shit on the news is NOT representative of St. Louis. You are seeing the bad seeds and opportunists who would use something like this to fill their own pockets....disgusting!
