St. Louis police buy $100,000 in riot gear; citizens buy guns ahead of Ferguson decision

"St. Louis County has spent $65,500 for new riot gear, such as helmets, shields and batons. The department has spent another $35,000 to replenish the supply of items including pepper spray, smoke canisters and rubber bullets.

CNN reports that on Monday, Steven King, who owns Metro Shooting Supplies, said that customers bought 100 guns this weekend. A typical weekend brings in about 30 buyers.
'People are afraid they are gonna throw Molotov cocktails,' says King.
The increase in gun sales reaches across racial and ethnic lines, he says. 'A lot of black people coming in saying they are afraid of the hooliganism'."

DonDiego has no plans to be near the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area in the near future.
He opposes hooliganism, . . . and he hopes he'll receive advance warning if'n it approaches the Appalachians.

I'm guessing they will have a lot of items for auction next fall listed as "slightly used".

I often wonder how rioting, looting and burning down your neighborhood shows your concern for a social injustice. My belief is many of the "hooligans" are just out raising hell and stealing and couldn't care less about the actual event that preceded it.

Dr. King is rolling over in his grave when he sees the actions mentioned above.

Yep. In the L.A. riots in the 90's there were a hell of a lot of looters with big joyous smiles on their faces. They didn't do it because they were upset, they did it just as if it was a big party thing.

When these idiots start turning cars over and things on fire after a championship has been won, I'd really like to see the book thrown at them if there is proof they participated.

When the original rioting occurred, most of the local TV stations had live shots of the looting going on. Some pictures showed the peoples faces or the license plates of the cars that were involved. I listened closely to see if any people were arrested because of the film on those nights. As far as I know, not one person was arrested with this evidence. There was plenty of evidence of the people involved and the cops didn't do squat.

When I saw what happened to Reginald Denny, the truck driver who was hit in the head with a brick, I lost my mind. I wish the perp was rotting in prison.

My oh my, my mistake

Williams, who was identified as the 18-year-old man who had used a brick on Denny by computer enhancement of the videotape which revealed an identifying tattoo was charged with attempted murder as well as assault and mayhem. A then member of the Eight Trey (83) Gangster Crips, after the riots the Mexican Mafia allegedly had a “hit” out on Williams, the contract to kill him was picked up by the now infamous and then little known MS-13. In 1993, Williams was convicted of mayhem and misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to 10 years. In 1997, Williams was released for good behavior, but in 2003, he was convicted for the 2000 murder of a drug dealer. He will not be eligible for parole until 2019.

I remeber seeing a couple cops carrying stuff out of a wal mart. I won't say whatt race or sex they were 'cause I'll for sure get accused of something.

EDIT; I was thinking alittle more about it and it may have been after Katrina I remeber seeing that, in fact I'm almost positive it was katrina and not the LA riots. Same difference tho, folks don't really give two shits about the neighborhood, just grabbing free tvs and setting stuff on fire. The joy it must bring.

And lo and behold, I found a pic of the two...

The City of Berkeley, Mo., adjacent to Ferguson, Mo., has sent its residents a warning letter to prepare for a "period of disruption" following the release of the Grand Jury decision.
"Keep your vehicle gas tanks full" sounds like good advice.
Ref: Fox2 St. Louis

For the record, DonDiego's community has received no similar warning. Appalachia is expected to remain calm.
