There are some that are rioting and others that are peacefully protesting. Will you be reading the details and then deciding your viewpoint? It is sad that there is violence that is taking place. We need calm at this point.

25 buildings already burned..... makes total sense to me. Hurt the people who had zero to do with the shooting. If I owned a business in that community, I would pack up and leave.

I am REELING in DISBELIEF about the decision of the Ferguson Grand Jury.
It almost NEVER happens in America that the so-called "justice system" does the right thing. They usually comfort the guilty and punish the innocent. I don't know quite how the Ferguson Grand Jury managed to understand that Officer Wilson is a hero and Michael Brown was a worthless and violent thug. But they did understand it. So HOORAY for the Ferguson Grand Jury. I am going to have some champagne to celebrate!

I accept the OJ verdict and found no reason to riot. I accept the Ferguson verdict and see no reason to riot
I do not see any reason to destroy your own neighborhood to protect in a violent manner. The people who riot are criminals. They do not protest, they simply want the adrenalin rush such action releases
They are destroying their own peoples hard earned property. Can .0001% of a population prove by damaging .001% of their home streets and businesses
There is no respect earned in such behavior except that given by other hoodlums
So once again African-Americans share the shame of an outrageous group of their own making. Where are their community and respected leaders who stand demanding justice when their own communities burn. Where is there stand agains violence now
Looting is not even related to learning. You can not silence bigotry by screaming at it. You can not repair injustice by razing your own community. You can not earn the respect you seek by committing disrespectful acts

The locals ASSUMED guilt before the officer was investigated or given a fair trial.
Mob protests - lynch-mob style - BEFORE a trial - with threats of violence if guilt is
NOT substantiated is NOT the American Way, surely ?
Are the rioters, looters and arsonists BENT on self-destruction ?
