The grand jury report on the death of Michael Brown was released last night and, as promised, it led to a night of violence in Ferguson, Missouri. There has been widespread arson and looting and at least 29 arrests.
I’m sure that there must be a few demonstrators who are sincerely protesting what they view as a miscarriage of justice, but I can’t help but wonder how many are the same sort of people who run amok after their hometown wins an NBA championship, for example.
How many actually give a damn about Brown vs. the number who see this as an opportunity to grab a new flat screen TV?
