Ferguson Store Owners: Customers ‘Too Scared’ to Bring Business to the Area

To me, all rioters are criminals but I wouldn't for one moment assume that the criminal element has any relevance or affiliation to the greater, law abiding community they operate within. Why do some people want to create this false connection in these types of situations?

Sharpton calls for federal prosecution in Ferguson

ST. LOUIS -- With a grand jury decision and a local election looming, the Rev. Al Sharpton returned to St. Louis on Friday to renew calls for the federal prosecution of a white police officer who shot and killed a black 18-year-old in the nearby suburb of Ferguson.

The civil rights activist said leaks about the supposedly secret St. Louis County grand jury deliberations undermine the local inquiry into whether to indict Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson in Michael Brown's killing. The panel is expected to complete its review by mid-November, independent of U.S. Justice Department investigations into both Brown's death and the broader practices of the Ferguson department.

Legal analysts have said leaked information about Wilson's testimony to investigators could be an attempt to prepare the public for the possibility that the grand jury might recommend he not face charges.

"The grand jury is tainted. The confidence of the family has been shattered," Sharpton said after meeting briefly with Brown's parents and local activists at a breakfast rally before returning to New York. "We should turn this over to the federal government."

Junk in the trunk takes precedence over the truth.

More irrelevant pictures. Anyone want to take a shot at why criminal elements are representative of and affiliated to the larger law abiding community in the area when people start to talk about the further economic woes at work here?

This is not an economically active area of the US. How can I make this any clearer?

By saying something truthful. It were "economically inactive" as you aver, there would be no businesses. Maybe that's what the rioters were trying to accomplish.

I didn't say it was inactive, I said it wasn't active - ie it isn't a thriving, growing, energetic, positive economy. What business there is is small, local, restricted in scope and not nearly big enough to accommodate all those who live in the area - and not because a few more stores have closed or are likely to close because of recent criminal activity in the area.

Rioters are criminals, there only objective; to acquire goods to which they are not entitled, but again, what do these criminals have to do with the wider law abiding community? What should be done in communities like this? What effective policies would turn these types of communities around into thriving, vibrant economies do you suppose? Removing a few criminals? Is that your solution?

I think you give the rioters credit of actually having an agenda that rises to the level of making sense.

Shopping in Ferguson.

Why have a 'piece' of a shoe when you can have the whole thing? Free shopping means no piece.

Do you actually have a point or do you just like posting pictures with inflammatory commentary for shits and giggles?

There a few in this Nation who believe Al Sharpie takes precedence over the US justice system. Damn, it's gotta hurt to learn justice plays out in a court of law.

"Inactive" has exactly the same meaning as "not active". Exactly. If you meant to say something else, then write "regionally depressed economy" or some such. Words have specific meanings.
