Supposedly out in Oakland, California, rioting bad out there.  Anyone seen heard that?

Protestors forced closure of I-580 there earlier.

PD unit 220 retreating. Folks setting fires behind them to isolate them from police presence.

Toys R Us just was invaded.

100 cars of looters in plaza looking for other targets.

All this shows is the overwhelming idiocy of the American people.

Who needs terrorists when your own people will do the job for them.

None of these people even stop to think about the direct impact all that they are doing will have on the economy of this country, let alone their city or state.  None of these people consider the people, property or businesses that they have decided to rob, hurt and burn. This is just more proof they are all sheeple and can be easily manipulated to do things that they know are wrong.  

Two wrongs do not make a right and I can not understand how anyone in this situation thinks this is the right reaction to such an event.

More over, it ridiculous that the news services think its a good idea to continue to report on this and glamorize the event.

You can't fix stupid and this is a great demonstration of that.

Cheers!

That Toys R Us seems to have claimed a victim.   Medics called for someone mauled in the process of breaking in.

Mobil Gas station on Florrisant, being looted.  Let's hope they don't torch that.

Integration hasn't worked in the USA and people tend to un-integrate on their own.

Result is community with like folks.

What we are seeing / hearing is about the urban poor plight + color factor in this. High concentration of both.  With such, throughout the USA, you have high criminality, mass horror and gobs of human destruction.  It's very shocking if you haven't been in a find USA big city and seen the real neighborhoods.  They are rough places and if you are different or not just from there, you are bound to get mugged, robbed, punked, victimized in milliseconds.

This has happened before.  The riots in the late 1960's riveted the country and led to a really big abandonment by white folks and others in the working / middle class.  Those riots were nationwide in most major cities.  This Ferguson thing is peanuts so far.

Businesses should be insured.  Some just won't return and you can't blame them.

Shuffling the deck, moving people out, decondensing acute issues, it's sadly best for everyone.

Clearly, people are trying to incite massive mess widely.  Hopefully stuff gets broken, looted, burnt and no innocent people killed or hurt too bad.

Even if we don't like the legal decision in the matter, it is the law and their other remedies.  Like civil suit and federal 1983 Civil Rights Violation suit to name two.   We are a land of laws, be they many, flawed, slow and sometimes wrong.
