    The business owners should unite and file a civil suit against the family.

        It doesn’t have to be that dramatic. The business owners have a legitimate reason to sue. Mike’s stepdad instructed the crowd to ‘burn it down’. It is against the law to incite a riot. Plain and simple. Mike’s dad did the opposite and ask for peaceful demonstrations. Sue the step-dad. It probably would be doing that mother a favor. She doesn’t need someone like that helping her deal with her grief.

          The mom is a thief also. It would in reality do little good to sue mom and step-dad because the chances of anything other than a judgment against them and no recovery is the likely outcome. Step-dad absolutely should be prosecuted. It won't happen.

          Won't happen. Its all part of the plan to incite riots across the nation and give the Oblamo an excuse to declare Martial Law to become the emperor of the US.

    This woman is like the blacks i have known my whole life, going back to the 40s. Hard working, concerned about her job and home. Not a whiner nor a thug. I want to know how many of the looters were not even from Ferguson. They should have shut down the town to both media and outsiders until it was calm. The media is the drawing card for this rioting, fueled by a careless president and self-serving so-call ministers from outside. They have done an injustice to the people of Ferguson and should be charged with inciting a riot.

    A useful study in contrasts.

    Did not Rand tell us? "Racism is the lowest form of collectivism." How true that was. I go further: identity politics is the lowest form of collectivism.

    And we see plenty of identity politics in the media.

    Good post. I am not a racist but after listening to Eric Withholder along with Obama since 2008 and now this stuff watching Brown's Stepdad and Ferguson in general, I may want to reconsider my view. Sadly it is cases like this that grow racism in America. Brown was a thug. He was a thief who did not respect authority or the law. In that sense these people are all Michael Browns.

      I judge people bases on character and their actions. obama, holder, sharpton, stepdad and all the looting thugs in Ferguson have shown their true character and they have been found profoundly lacking.

        100% agreed.

        I once wrote an article, that was rejected by every outlet I was connected to at the time, entitled "The making of an American Bigot" which foreshadowed what we're seeing. Everything we're bombarded with is pitted to turn one against another for someone's political gain. I'm far more cynical now than I was back then and its very disturbing to see whats developed since that article.

          I agree. To that extent I believe our president has increased our divide. All the talk about united American was just that talk and now we can see his true nature. He missed such an opportunity to unite America but his ideology won out.

        I agree. There are so many good blacks so I do not want to over shadow this fact. I worded my statement incorrectly. However when we see so many in masses, in different cites, protesting and destroying their communities it gives racists a easy excuse to put all blacks in the same category. This is sad and is not fair. They do not seem to care at all about the facts. Let's face it, no matter what the grad jury said these people were going to protest regardless. I find myself feeling the same way toward liberals not all are bad but the way most of them act I put them in a category in my mind that is not favorable. That is not fair either. Unless I am strange ( which is arguable) I think this is human nature.

    Of the countless media coverages, none that I'm aware of focused on the personal responsibility of Michael Brown for his own actions. I asked my Ethics class to pretend they were Michael Brown looking back and honestly apprising the decisions he made that day. Not one - black, brown or white - though he had done the right thing. In fact, all found fault in many things he dead. Swisher Sweets? one asked. Those are to make blunts. Another commented: he should have stayed home and made beats or read a book. Instead, he did what he did. He of course i s not his mom and certainly not his step-dad. I'd be interested in Michael Brown's honest view of his own actions, with no one to answer to but himself... which of course is reality at the end of the day.

    The interviewee is not exceptional. I would bet a $500 Monopoly bill that the majority of the citizens in the area think the same as her. I believe that the motives of many of the demonstrators have nothing to do with the shooting incident, but to further left agendas. The rest are looters, or cry babies.

    She hit it on the head, it will be a ghost town. It is a downward spiral, Blight comes and then the exodus becomes a flood of people leaving. Those that can afford to, will leave. Those that cannot afford it will be stuck in a ghetto, which is all that will be left.

    Comrade citizens, the burn, baby, burn looting protesters are only doing what they are being paid to do. Y'all got something against thugs just doing their jobs?
