"I disagree with this, so I'm going to destroy, burn and loot my own community to demonstrate how upset I am, at a detriment to nobody but myself and my townspeople!"

Rioting has never made sense to me, and it never will.
Peaceful protest is the only way to get what you want. The second the police turn violent against one of you, spread that story like wild fire and you are the victims.
Riot, burn and act violently, and you're automatically the enemy.

I don't have an opinion on whether Darren Wilson is guilty or innocent, but I do think it's stupid to punish the local shopkeepers, and endanger people by burning cars and buildings just to prove how upset you are.
We all know that nothing is going to change this decision and they know it too.
They're having a tantrum, it'll die down eventually, and they'll be the ones left to clean up the mess.

Really disappointed in the verdict myself, but he was a cop so it was expected. I do, however, absolutely love all the stuff it has ignited all around the country. All the way from here in California to New York. It's truly a beauty.

The people rioting and such in Ferguson have just destroyed their community. Either they haven't realised it yet or simply don't care, but with all the looting, rioting, destruction of property such as businesses, people are now going to have to be let go from such jobs, in order for that company to pay for damages seeing how the county isn't going to be able to pay for everything that was damaged/stolen. Whether the person(s) who get let go from their job participated in any type of activity that's going on or they had no part in it, they're still going to end up suffering in the end. On top of that, you're going to be having people afraid to leave their houses to go to work/school, further having an impact on them and their families.

They need to change their protocol on shooting.

There was no probable cause for him being indicted.

This is a good ruling. There was no reason for him to get in trouble. He had probable cause.

To comment on the riots:
When a White person gets shot, it's a tragedy.
When a Black person gets killed, it's racist.
Racism only exists because African Americans still place themselves in a category.
