Daniel Greenfield — August 22, 2014

 

The interior of the Ferguson Market and Liquor Store is littered with broken bottles and scattered snacks. Despite the plywood boards covering the windows and doors, looters with their faces covered in bandanas helped themselves to anything they could find as those who came to memorialize Michael Brown carried on his work.

 

The violence in Ferguson didn’t begin when a police officer shot Michael Brown. It began when a 300 lb thug robbed the Ferguson Market and abused a clerk. The release of the video showing the obese criminal assaulting the clerk led to a terrified statement from the store manager that he had not called the police and had nothing to do with the release of the video.

 

“They kill us if they think we are responsible,” he said.

 

That is what this conflict is about. The police exist so that Ferguson Market and a hundred other stores can do business without being robbed or murdered.Scissors-32x32.png
