    Neither does Al Sharpton. Bad for business

    We could always go with what the Ferguson prosecutor had to say about the existing law:

    "Don't worry about that." That's what he told the grand jury.

    How about making the community responsible for their actions?

    Which, again, is saying, we shouldn't do anything about making police responsible for their actions because we can't stop the sun for exploding. Totally meaningless statement in context.

    And it's terrible false equivalence, too. The people dealt the worst hand by our society are behaving badly so we should ignore the fact that people given the most power are behaving badly!

    The Ferguson mob mentality of thoughtless, chaotic and vengeful violence justifies Wilson's fear of Brown

    We're shooting them as fast as our cops can yell "He's reaching for his waistband!" How much more responsibility can we impose?

    It's over, a few stores burned but nobody died in the wake of the non-indictment. End of story.
