Dem Missouri Gov Protected Ferguson Looters Not Small Businesses

You protect what you value.

What did Governor Nixon value? The rioters and looters, not the small businesses and workers they were torching and looting.

Governor Jay Nixon answers why the National Guard left North County unprotected the night of the Grand Jury decision.

On November 24th, businesses burned while National Guard Quick Responders waited for a call that didn’t come until after midnight.

One guardsmen told me, “We were watching, on TV and smart phones, the city burn, while we stood by ready.”
The 700 Guardsmen who got the call were sent to St. Louis City and Clayton.

Governor: “No, what I`m saying is the plan was that the law enforcement officers who have been trained would be out on the front lines. You didn`t want to have a Kent State situation. You certainly didn`t want to have a situation where Guardsmen who had only been there a few hours, who had not been used to the very kinetic atmosphere of people throwing things, screaming things at the very front tip of that spear. That was the plan. I think it has prevented loss of life.”

The lives being protected were those of the criminals not of their victims. That’s what the whole Michael Brown/Garner/Martin thing comes down to. Pandering to criminals. And it’s not just Democrats who are doing it. Too many “conservatives” have jumped on the bandwagon.

Nixon’s priorities are familiar ones.  In New York City, Mayor Dinkins, Bill de Blasio’s old boss, chose to let the rioters and looters set off by Al Sharpton have a “day of grace” to beat and kill as many Jews as they wanted.

The police were ordered not to respond, to retreat in fact when they came under attack from bottles, rocks and even shotguns. Only when Dinkins and his police commissioner came under attack, did they finally unchain the NYPD. If Nixon was having his house burned, then the National Guard would be called in, but Ferguson’s businesses were owned by minorities, by blacks and Asians. They could be sacrificed.

The police could be sacrificed too.

These movements are about freeing criminals to kill, rob and terrorize. There are people out there who want to bring back the worst days of the sixties and seventies. This isn’t about opposing police brutality. It’s about supporting criminal brutality against ordinary people.
