Violence erupts on streets of Ferguson
Protesters clash with police on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, following a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer for shooting a black teen.
As the nite wore on, protests spread to NYC, Chicago, Oakland, CA and (one must assume) more cities.
While grievances might be understood and some actions forgiven given the status of inequality in the US, it's my considered opinion that the rampaging destruction and looting are connected with the former undertaken intentionally to distract attention of authorities in order to facilitate the latter.
I speak from experience having first been caught on Imperial Highway driving to LAX in a white 1959 British MGA sports car (top off) during the initial stages of the Watts riots. Later on I was also in the area on the closing day of the "OJ" trial (a primarily "celebratory" riot), the LA Rodney King riots (where trucker Reginald Denny was almost beaten to death), the LA Koreatown riots where Korean shop owners elected to stand guard on their rooftops armed with AK47s to ward off looters themselves, and a handful of VietNam anti-war protest/riots which really fell flat due to the fact the organizers were amateurs and thus missed the looting chapter entirely.
In my considerable CV riot listing, I've come to believe the looting is almost purely opportunistic with one caveat:
If you were Chap CEO of the local "Crips" or "Bloods" I bet buried in your employment contract fine print is a line stating any failure to organize a looting expedition to an anticipated racial or equality riot would constitute a de facto failure to execute your FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY to the club's financial interests.
