| 3 Myths About the Rioters and Looters of Ferguson |
| 2014-11-29 |
| The angry rioter is a sacred figure in the progressive pantheon of social justice. The shirtless men in bandanas carting away cell phones are so outraged by injustice that they are willing to take to the streets and do what progressive hipsters taking social justice selfies of themselves in souvenir t-shirts plastered with the face of the latest victim of "white supremacism" can only dream about. But the saint of the looted convenience store is as mythical a figure as the selfless community organizer. The race riot isn't a bubbling stew of outrage out of which wounded souls emerge to cry out for justice. It's a complicated criminal conspiracy in which the perpetrators rarely suffer any consequences. Here's how a race riot is actually put together. |

| #8 How does one go about identifying the 'street' level and middle manager organizers? Seems like someone could see that a little attention comes their way. |

| #7 The rioting game is as easy to figure out as tic-tack-toe. In the end the outraged community is left gutted and cast-off by the riot "organizers." Insurance rates sky-rocket and property values plummet. All the firebrands and rock-throwers pack up their circus tents and head off to the next venue of injustice. After the tidal wave of stupid there will be a residual ripple of outrage when it becomes apparent that no businesses intend to cast more money into an apparent cauldron of hate. Ferguson will likely become a talisman for business planners. Franchise values will rise and fall based on a communities potential for similar hijinks. |

| #6 I kinda like P2Ks D-9 answer to crime, but realize that Catapillar doesn't have that strong a PAC. |

| #4 ....now, now. First you remove anything that you can find to ID the perps first. Then using the Israeli model, you destroy any habitat the utes previously called home. |

| #3 All they needed to do was shot a few of the looters live on TV and throw their bodies into the fires they set. If what the article says is true the real justice loving folks would of stood in front of the stores being looted to stop the thugs; not encourage them. |

| #1 All I know is that if I see a young man running down the street with a flat screen TV I know he is fighting injustice and/or racism. |
