Great read Pt. 1 WHY DO THEY BURN DOWN THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD? Taken from dailykos, submitted by Antifa Lets be specific about whats going down. While the stores being burned are mostly national chain stores like Walgreens, McDonalds, Auto Zone, Dollar Store, local car dealerships, and so on, they are locally owned branches or franchises in most cases. There are also some independent small businesses being torched, like Ferguson Market and Liquor. These are the places that the black residents of Ferguson shop, eat, and hopefully work at as well. At least one local businesss that was looted was clearly owned by a black couple. And yet these local shops have promptly gone up in roaring anger and flames tonight, and probably will for nights to come. Why do these stores attract such anger and direct action? Yes, I know that it is probably only a few hundred mostly young black men who are making their way from store to store to pillage and burn, while 20,000 other black residents if Ferguson are protesting peacefully, or are at home, not destroying local stores. They may be at home, but trust me, theres real satisfaction being felt across the entire community at this hitting back thats going on. Its widely seen as something well deserved and a long time in coming.
