Ferguson on Fire because Grand Jury's Decision to let Wilson off the Hook

The people of Ferguson, Missouri and the whole of the United States are completely justified in their grievance of the Grand Jury’s decision to not bring criminal charges against police officer Darren Wilson, for the shooting of unarmed youth Michael Brown on August 9th.  This decision not to indict this man unfortunately isn’t that surprising; it was just the Elite protecting one of their soldiers.  I might add the law and justice don’t apply to them in the same way as it does to all us worker-bees.  They’re special because not only do they run the show, they own the show, so that’s not surprising. 

It’s still upsetting that this form of injustice can be allowed to persist but one thing I do know for sure, burning down a portion of your own town will do nothing, if not straighten their case and continuing their need/desire to use excessive force.  Certainly not all those angered at the Grand Jury’s decision fled to the streets with fire bombs and started destroying everything in sight, but a lot did do that.  

Looting, really?  Again, I get the rage I get the disgust but displacing your so-called anger over a very justified position, only to bust the windows of electronic stores to steal flat screen TV’s loses the point and isn't helping matters.  Burning down part of your town and terrorizing your fellow neighbours, destroying people’s local businesses, and shooting at firemen tasked to put out the fires so the whole city doesn’t burn down, isn’t going to get your point across in the judicial way that it should.

What we are dealing with here is a great hypocrisy.  These rioters not only destroyed the lives of a number of innocent people who had nothing to do with any of it.  They made the very police officers, that they accused of being unjustifiably heavy-handed and brutal now justified with their resolve.  They have given license to police across the country to possibly think a little less, when being approached by a precarious individual in the dark who may or may not be armed.

Group think, group mentality has for the most part, shaved off the IQ’s of most of those that participate in it.  There are injustices everywhere, macroscopically down to the microscopically but what holds a society together is the application of reason and logic, two ingredients that were lacking in Ferguson.  This resulted into madness, animals expressing themselves, not with the full capacity of their neurological functioning, but rather to that of dogs.
