Most businesses destroyed in ferguson minority owned

So you think it's good journalism to report an article about damaged minority owned business and then make a partial list of said businesses with the majority being non-minority owned?

So if there was a article about how alot of white police officers are being shot and killed then made a list of the crimes but most of the ones listed were actually gang members being shot, you woudn't have any issue with it?
What is clear is that you do not understand what you read which leads you to make false claims.
 
We failed to bring charges. Judging by what was written before and the reactions now it seems that there are a very large number of people inside the country and outside that do not see justice to have been served. As that is, however, one of the most important things about justice, we failed. And the riots are the price.

Most of those people that dont see justice as having been served know precisely dick about the actual details of the case. People that believe justice was not served made up their minds based on their own bias, prejudice, and the rumors and rants of others. They had plenty of help. There is a nice collection of race baiting assholes that dont care about black lives...but boy they are HAWT for black 'causes'.

This guy speaks truth the people that stir up the pot of 'injustice'....

 
One would think that the knuckleheads who did most of the damage are probably not from Ferguson. That's just a hunch.

Let's say that's the case: why aren't the folks that ARE from Ferguson kicking their asses? Why aren't Fergusonians helping the cops segregate the trouble makers?
 
More than half listed: Walgreens, Autozone, and Family Dollar for instance are not franchise and are not owned by minorites. I agree rioting and looting is not the answer and I do not support it, however; that article is based on lies. I do feel sorry for anyone who lost their business but let's not lie that most of these are corportations and not small business owners.
You can own a store...and it still being a corporation. :confused:
 
It obviously does not look like justice was served. And the result is exactly, what I would have expected. It takes an imbecile to provoke a crowd like that and is totally irresponsible.
I am not surprised that you choose lawlessness. You prefer mob rule. I get it. Many of you do. I am also not surprised that you blame those who are lawful with the crimes of the lawless. The Father of Lies, the Lawless One, has taught you well.

This attitude that you are displaying is what is totally irresponsible.

Riots are what the lawless do. You have the heart of a thug.

Excellent questions. You'd think it would infuriate the lawful citizens of Ferguson to have outsiders coming in destroying their city.
 
You can franchise any of those stores (Walgreens, AutoZone, Family Dollar) though. That was her point - and she was correct.
You can own a store under a franchise... you can own a subway store, even though you don't own subway.
 
Yes, because you also do not understand how she was wrong.
She clearly said it was based on lies and it was not.

We can disagree. You have no issue with a headline that has not been proven to be true. I do. You have no problem considering "burnt" and "damaged" as being the same thing as "destroyed". I do. You have no problem with the liberal use of store names included which factually can't fit into the story because none of them can possibly be defined as "minority owned". I do.

We don't see it, because there are more Fergusonians condoning and/or participating in the violence yhan some folks want to admit.

Of course you can and I don't remember anyone in this thread saying you can't own a franchise.

However, you can't own a Walgreens, Family Dollar or AutoZone as a franchise. Those 3 corporations don't franchise their stores.
 
Why do you think 'black nationalist' is ironic?

How often do we hear the Leftists associating nationalism with the nazis? All the time, huh?

Why don't you ask them yourself?

Honestly, anyone with a brain would stay home or leave town.

Nationalism = Nazi? No one is that ignorant.

The only thing that makes sense is you claim this country is not of or for blacks.
 
Agree. Just like last time most of those arrested weren't even from Ferguson and many weren't even from Missouri. People just looking for a reason to act like assholes.

When the WTC riots hit Seattle, almost all those arrested weren't from the city. A large group of left wing extremist radicals from Eugene were a large part of that cluster ****.

Don't tell me; tell the Libbos.
 
Most Businesses Destroyed in Ferguson Minority Owned

This is part of the stupidity I see. They destroy themselves, because they think looting, burning, maiming people will all help them. I remember after the Rodney King/ LA Riots how people like Jesse Jackson said we needed to understand their rage. No I don't need to understand their rage, they need to understand what a bunch of buffoons they are.....what a bunch of moronic low-lifes they are for doing these things. Maybe there are injustices done by the police, but rioting when they are clearly in the wrong only defeats THEIR argument.

I will gently disagree that they are doing this because they think looting, burning, and maiming people will help them. I believe they are doing this for no other reason than they like to do this and because that is the kind of people they are. I don't think they care about Michael Brown and probably would have rioted anyway if the Grand Jury had come back with an opinion to indict on a lesser crime than first degree murder. It is disgusting and reprehensible, stirred up by irresponsible and hateful people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and should be condoned or justified by no thinking person.
 
CNN interviewing the black female owner and manager of the beauty/fashion salon which was burned to the ground. They had been in business for 28 years. The owners quote was 'we lost everything'.

So sad and pointless. What does that do for any cause?

I have no idea how you came to such absurd conclusions. :doh

This has nothing to do with her being wrong as pointed out.
Reports generally are not proven true in the report itself.
So you have no relevant point.


You have no problem considering "burnt" and "damaged" as being the same thing as "destroyed". I do.
:doh
Holy ****.
This has nothing to do with her being wrong as pointed out.
You obviously have an issue here not understanding that those businesses which were being reported as either being "damaged or completely destroyed" were by fire.
My use of burnt fits either category.
Yet somehow you fail to understand that.


You have no problem with the liberal use of store names included which factually can't fit into the story because none of them can possibly be defined as "minority owned". I do.
More absurdity. Figures.
This has nothing to do with her being wrong as pointed out.
The use of the store names was in reference to, and as an example of those on a specific avenue where most of the damage happened.
Do you really not understand how that makes your comment absurd?

And your claim of "factually can't fit into the story" is even more absurdity from you.
Of course they fit into the overall story. Duh!
Do you somehow think that the term "most" means all?
I seriously hope not.

Bottom line is that what she said was wrong. The article isn't based on lies.
