FULL TITLE: Gun sales in Ferguson spike a staggering 700% as residents wait to see if Officer Darren Wilson will be indicted for shooting dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown

Gun sales have increased at a staggering rate in Ferguson, Missouri, ahead of a grand jury's decision on whether or not to indict Officer Darren Wilson, the cop who shot dead unarmed teenager Michael Brown.

Steve King, the owner of Metro Shooting Supplies in nearby Bridgeton, says he has sold 250 firearms this week.

That is a 700% increase over the 30 to 40 guns the store typically sells in a week.

The very unreverend $harpton is ready to use his Black Power racist card. His Black Power Racist card is approved by Herr Obama and Herr Holder. Of course American tax payers of all colors will pay for any riot costs due to his use of his Black Racist Power Card.

That is true. They had best be damn careful with any house or business they try to trash, loot, or burn. Obama damn sure stirred the pot with Sharpton plus his AG Holder. This is the event he should be impeached for if it gets out of hand.

I think Ferguson will be peaceful, because riotous looters do not want confrontation, they want stuff to steal, unarmed people to beat, and unguarded buildings to burn.

Ferguson is likely no longer good even as a staging area. There might be a nominal protest there, but nothing more.

My first guess of a target would be either a soft target, like drugstores, where they think they can get drugs, liquor, loot and maybe even a little money; or conversely, a mostly black neighborhood, because they would anticipate the least resistance, and an unwillingness of police to go there.

The closest one of significant size is North St. Louis.

Importantly, the agitators will want to start trouble in other cities as well, so attention will need to be paid to the social networks, to see if there are efforts to organize a mob.

I would not get near East St Louis these days. I drove from FT Bragg, NC to Omaha for college in 70-72. I stopped in ST. Louis to buy a new Corvette as they made them there then. I made the mistake of stopping on the East side of the river at a Holiday Inn. I checked in and there was a black clerk by himself at the desk. I thought nothing about that and laid down and got up about 8 PM and headed for the bar. I opened the door and left fast. I was the only White person in that entire place. I left at 5 AM for Plake Chevrolet on South Kings highway.

A Canuck friend of mine once said something I remember.
He said he loved the bitter cold winters, because it killed all the flies.

The white house and the media can hardly wait. They are looking forward to the riots which they see as the ‘oppressed’ underclass finally rising up against the ‘oppressors.’

The 1960s were exciting, but the areas like LA and Detroit that saw riots, burned buildings and relaxed policing became violent ghettos where they complain there are no cheap grocers today.

Right - they complain there’s no services in their neighborhood then they burn them down when they riot ... I feel for Ferguson.

I saw Ferguson on Hannity tonight.. it had an Ace Check Cashing store (just like here in the minority area of Tampa), a liquor store, Chinese food restaurant, and a closed Ponderosa. Typical minority area....
