I stayed away from commenting on all the rukus that happened in Ferguson, Missouri over the last few months but when I saw this article I really had to say….reaaalllyyy. Are some people this stupid. It seems some Amercians of the black persuasion have made some veiled threats that wants to make you shake your head and say are you frickin’ idiots or what. Some people are threatening businesses that were looted with retaliation if they do n ot rebuild their stores.
” You better rebuild the looted and burned stores….or else…”
Here is the article and see what you think:
Now, as Ferguson returns to a semblance of normalcy, some within the community have a message for business owners who had their stores burned and looted:
“You better rebuild the looted and burned stores… or else…”
CBS News dutifully offered the media’s preferred narrative surrounding the Ferguson riots and interviewed three young men, Gunny, Trey and Luciano.
“We tired of being looked at like another species; it ain’t even like we human,” Gunny claimed.
Another, Luciano, claimed, “It ain’t no black and white thing; it’s a police against the people thing.”
While all three men claimed to not have been part of the looting and rioting, they seemed to sympathize with the looters and rioters and CBS explained the lawlessness as a function of high unemployment amongst the black community of Ferguson.
Trey opined, “That’s why people loot; ‘cause they can’t get no job.”
Luciano offered a startling viewpoint and stated,
“To be honest, if they don’t come and restore these neighborhoods for these people, like when you gotta go travel miles to Walmart and to get gas and stuff like that, it should be right here. If they don’t restore this community for people who stay here it’s gonna be hell to pay.”
While all three men claimed to not have taken part in the looting and rioting, it’s simply amazing that their frustrations appear to be with police and the low amount of economic opportunities offered to black men in Ferguson and not the rioters themselves for destroying businesses.
Nowhere in the interview did any of the three men appear to criticize those that burned down these establishments or otherwise looted them; instead, they just offered a warning that the victims of the savage lawlessness that infected Ferguson must promptly get their businesses to working order or, as Luciano claimed, there would be “hell to pay.”
