Why can't you guys answer the question?

Store owner wasn't Black? Is that why he was assaulted?

Why ignore him?

He deserves the SAME amount of respect you're giving to the shitheat who robbed him


Might wanna pump your breaks man. One has nothing to do with the other and you're coming off as being intentionally inflammatory.
 
It's true people have different agendas and motivations. But this reflects poorly on the community and really damages their image in the media. Peaceful protests are especially difficult to manage because they require solidarity. But all it takes are a few people who see things differently or a few people who want to start trouble.

"A few bad apples can spoil the bunch"

I do hope we get more media coverage of those actually who are protecting the stores, the good people. Not the bad apples. The good ones are trying to maintain order which is the correct thing to do.

Um. One person was murdered, and one person was shoved. I get you're trying to be a piece of shit right now, but I don't think you thought this one out.
 
Fucking prove it.

This shit has been on cam live for the past hour and a half.

The police line hasn't moved an inch.

Stop spreading bullshit.

Lol that was before the cam went live. Vice reporter arrived afterwards.

Guys at the liquor store saying the same thing. "They were right here and pulled back".
 
Come on folks. I know it's easy to catch the energy of the people in the streets of Ferguson tonight, but I'd like to think that GAFfers can have a conversation without insulting each other.

How many stores are we talking when it comes to the looting?

At least three, looted to varying degrees on the Vice stream. Protesters seem to be keeping looters out for now.


lol @ the one dude's mom on the phone.
 
The guys being focused on now are bringing me hope and making me smile to see and hear. Thank god for these specific protestors trying to make up for the worst of their peers.

A guy who got pushed deserves the same outrage as a guy who got shot by a copy while unarmed? Is that what you are saying?

I just quoted a tweet of someone who is there. But i'll trust you at your keyboard who is telling me to "fuck offf."

I would appreciate that.

He's not dead last I heard.

I'm telling you to fuck off cause your "cops retreating in cars" is tied to "cops shooting gas cans into the crowd and retreating" which is bullshit.
 
Vice guys and other news outlets interviewing the guys protecting the stores. Thank god, giving the good protestors, those with good intentions a voice.
 
this guy has balls of steel. i'm a dark skin dominican and i would not be nearly as comfortable as he is in this racially charged environment.
 
"you don't give the enemy what they want"

That's fucking depressing sentiment when talking about police and citizens in the US.

fuck
 
I went from fear to anger to sadness to hopeful. These interviews are fantastic, and this whole group of men and women is making up for all the bad eggs in their basket. They are fantastic, I hope these people get their rightful credit tomorrow.
