    Nope. It didn’t. The Ferguson mayor did make a choice that in a crisis situation, human lives matter more than property. But that’s not a thought that comes naturally to modern conservatives.

    Destroying property is just stupid. When they had the riots in Chicago a lot of businesses in black communities burned and then those communities spent twenty years trying to rebuild. Businesses were very reluctant to come into those communities and the people went without grocery stores and other needed businesses for many years.

    John Smith,<i.if Ferguson taught us anything it taught us that burning down other people’s property was an acceptable form of self-expression and free speech and protest. Did it not?That is what you learned from Ferguson? Conservatives have a hard time with logic.

    John, I think you overall point of being against violence by all is good. But then you go off the rails, I guess with conservative blindness/confusion? How can you burn a city one day and act morally indignant when the same thing happens to you?What are you talking about? You think liberals, black people condone violence in one place and are indignant when it happens to them. You do realize that just like you liberals and black people do not condone violence anywhere.and hope the Black Panthers are the first people to figure out who the church arsonists areThis comes off as really crazy. Black Panthers? Why not law enforcement? Black Panthers no longer exist. Wikipedia say 1982 was there end. Why do you hope they “are the first people to figure out who the church arsonist are”? Even if they exist, I would not. Are you not against violence and for the rule of law like you started out saying?Nobody I have read excuse the violence. Remember the mom who took her kid by the ear when she caught him about to riot in Baltimore. This is most people. Most people were behind her all the way. The people doing the violence are a small number.

    What should have been put in the museums is the raciaal hatred. I really Don’t Understand is how long people have clung to blind stubborn senseless hate!

    Three fires have been officially declared arson and at least two were deemed to have been the result of natural causes.http://time.com/3945382/arson-black-churches-charleston-church-shooting-fire-lightning-south-carolina/
