Look up irony in the dictionary, and by all rights you should find a footnote pointing to this news story from CBS re: Ferguson MO: Ferguson residents frustrated over lack of opportunity.
The story notes that the previous night was sufficiently quietjust eight arrestsand that the National Guard is pulling out (meaning, productive people are being released to go back to their day jobs.)
The irony arose when the reporter spoke to local Ferguson residents. The common theme among those interviewed was outrage that local businessesyou know, the ones that had been relentlessly looted and vandalized by local residentshad not hurried to rebuild and offer jobs to local residents. Huh. Who knew that robbing and burning local businesses might prove a disincentive to them investing and hiring in the community!
The reporter also notes that unemployment in Ferguson among black men 20 to 24 years of age is 46%. Forty. Six. Percent. Presumably that figure is pre-riots. Might it have doubled in the interval?
In any case, the fault is clearly that of the looted/burned businesses. As one local young man puts it, if they dont come back and rebuild these businesses, theres going to be hell to pay.
They are particularly upset that they now have to drive miles out of the way to access the products and services that used to be provided locally . . . by the businesses looted and burned down by local residents. Oops.

The goobermint schools had to cut logic classes in order to fit in classes on grievances and advanced grievances, as well as white privilege classes.
Therefore, these yutes are not exactly what you would call critical thinkers.
They’ll have insurance courtesy of the taxpayers. Dang nice of us.
Say, Ferguson Resident, why don’t YOU open a new business?

excellent guidance and advice.Do these people just want to rob convenience stores and slug cops in the face and shoot their guns off in the car and then assault them when they order you to freeze? Is that a civil right?

Open a business that has nothing to do with Marijuana, whether medicinal or recreational. There is too much downward pull culturally, for these people to thrive working with weeds. First, they need to clear their minds and become proactive. Step out of your stupor, without fear, we dare you.
How can they loot and steal, if there are no business’s left.
They want them rebuilt so they can loot and steal some more.
4 months ago Trader Joes heard widespread complaints about no grocery store in a poor urban area:
They conferred with the local leaders about opening a nice new branch store and do you know what the response was?
they rejected the Trader Joes offer because they didn’t want “anyone other than an an ethnic group with a history of oppression doing business here”.
They thought that it would “attract gentrification”, which refers to neighborhood improvement, often accomoanied by white people also living there.
So Trader Joe’s cancel their plans.
So while the prospect of starving wasnt nice, what really scared them to death was the prospect of NOT attacking the people trying to help them.
Which we should remember before sending guys to Africa to combat Ebola.
Step away from the EBT card and actually contribute to society.
You guys made a dump now live in it! What’s the matter to far to walk to use your EBT card! Bulldoze the lots and leave it!
You know, this reminds me a lot of something.
When I was about five, my mother and I lived in San Francisco with her parents, because my mother had just gotten a divorce from my father.
Mom and I were walking down the street and I tried to tug her into a toy store that we passed. "No, I can't afford it", she said.
Later on, I got into her purse. I couldn't believe my eyes, there was what, thirty bucks in there! We could have bought the coolest toy in the store!
I thought she was just holding out on me, being mean for it's own sake, because she was being selfish. I didn't understand that that was for our food and clothing and her carfare to get to her (barely paying) job- when she could get one at all. And selfish? Her? Never happen.
I can't imagine being a grown-up (physically, anyway) and still thinking like that, but evidently- it does happen.
Sounds like a grown man who refused to be potty-trained, screaming for somebody to wipe his butt, to me.
What hell will there be to pay? Doe he really believe that issuing threats is going to do anything but make it worse?
Insanity reigns
Same thing happened in Los Angeles, also the major chain supermarkets pulled out.
I’m still trying to figure out how they’re going to loot and burn a business that hasn’t rebuilt.
The only group that craps in its own nest and expects others to clean it up. The government has made these perpetual victims with a sense of entitlement.
As for Hell I’ve been through Detroit.
