If Ferguson needs some advice about how to rebuild after riots, they should follow the advice of cities such as Detroit and Newark, NJ.

not too sure if this is true BUT after the Liberty City riots the Miami police lowered their standards and it cost them quite a bit.,

Very few insurance companys cover arson fact is I don’t know of any. What amazes me is the dumb comments FR’s posts here when they reference insurance . Alas there’s no wonder why there are higher insurance rates (red lining) for black “hoods” which also covers vehicle insurance particularly if it’s comprehensive coverage.

Can these businesses be rebuilt? Some will, but others will give up and move out. The property will be up for grabs at a reduced value due to the violent history of the area, opening opportunities for radical invaders, some of whom were instigating the offensive to take over.

Recall:

Fox 11/18/2014: Muslim groups seek to co-opt Ferguson protests, says watchdog group including:

  • Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) &

  • Chicago-based Arab American Action Network &

  • a committee that calls itself "The Palestinian Contingent" &

  • Muslims For Ferguson representatives

Keep in mind -this is a pattern of behavior long established by muhammedan entities based on an ideology which is permanently vested in expanding its influence and exists under the 'ends justify the means' mentality for 1400 years.

Settling in large numbers in depressed, run down areas, the demographic shifts to its favor, as does the social climate.

Once the burned out business owners throw their hands up and move out, these instigators move in and entrench permanently. Watch the abandoned shops as they are replaced with shariah compliant (not always legal - (in the traditional sense) - operations? Watch for new halal friendly restaurants and markets, financial services, mosques and Islamic community centers - complete with shariah enforcing shock troops to shut down aggressive or defense of local's refusal to comply behavior.

Exhausted from the unrelenting series of violent disruptions and desecration to the local environment by these conjured riots, vulnerable (low information) locals will greet their new 'saviors'/masters with open arms - only to regret ceding territory when these slavers expansion reaches directly to their front door.

Many of the business owners who were burned out said they saw locals they recognized doing the deeds.

Notice how ALL the news stories ALWAYS describe Brown as unarmed.

Okay, I hadn’t heard that. I appreciate the mention.

If so, then I agree. I wouldn’t rebuild. If I were there I’d move out.

Let that little community drive 30 minutes before they can find food.

... and drop job applications as a means of dispersing the crowds to avoid further riots and looting.

That would only work on the 10% that can read.

Check out this post and the one that it was in response to.

You and I addressed this, and this information was new to me.

Something like 80% of the arrests were locals according to reports I’ve seen.

They burned their neighborhood down. Let them rebuild it. Or not. I didn’t care either way.

This is a standard tactic. To leftists, “they had insurance” is code for “well, they weren’t harmed because they had insurance, insurance companies are evil anyway, insurance payouts are free money and nothing bad *really* happened, so don’t complain.”

They don’t realize the reality of insurance - insurance companies never really get screwed, they just pass on the costs to their customers.

Personally, after such a crap showing by the state National Guard, I’d move to another state and let *them* get the sales tax revenue. MO’s state government proved they were feckless idiots by holding the NG out that long; clearly they had no interest in saving needed businesses and stores. That being so, there’s no need to pay that entity sales tax either.

I wouldn’t have guessed that. Thanks for the mention.

Yikes.

Frankly, I do care. If they burned their own neighborhood businesses down, I don’t want them rebuilt.

In a year we have the anniversary coming up. Guess what happens then.

These people can rot in their own waste for all I care.

Works for me. Those officers standing on that line and hearing gun shots in the distance...

No national guard! I don’t understand that.
