I think the Mayor of Ferguson stated that the people were for the most part not locals but people who came in from other areas. You got to thank social media for revolutionizing “gibmedat” smash and grab.
We used to laugh about the Welfare Cadillac. Now it’s Welfare Facebook, Twitter ect.
They always say that. My community cancelled our annual 4th of July fireworks after a gang of black "teens" went on a rampage and assaulted a number of (coincidentally, I'm sure) white people watching the fireworks with their families.
The local Democrats did their best to cover it up, but when the cancelled the fireworks it pissed a lot of people off, and people demanded answers.
The political pimps did their best to minimize it, telling people that the assailants "were not local", since some of them came from the town next door.
And that was the end of it. That was 3 years ago, and it's probably going to be permanent.
