If there is no indictment of the officer in the Ferguson, Mo. shooting of Michael Brown, are rioting and looting acceptable reactions?

    It is the what they wanted to hear .That gave them the excuse to riot and steal . The thug got what he knew he would one day get if kept up his thug way of life .

    Honest is right, and seems most of those out protesting had anterior motives to push the riots along- No one but the family themselves has a right to say anything about what happened. Looting and destroying the property of others is what we have all seen on TV. Sure, there are a few who really want to see a change in how things might be handled, but from what we are seeing from around the world is Riots with looting in mind, burning and nothing good. WHY would anyone ever think rioting is a good thing?

    Is this really a question?!?! Who in their right mind thinks it’s okay to attack business in this community? I feel sorry for the people that voted YES on this poll. They should be ashamed of themselves. TWO wrongs NEVER make a right!!

    184 yes votes? Really? Did these people actually read and understand the question "are rioting and looting acceptable reactions"? How can anyone think these are acceptable reactions to anything? They are the likely reactions. But acceptable? Never!

    Let's be honest. The black people, along with some whites, have already convicted the cop. They did this hearing just one side of the story. They don't want to hear that Big Mike was in a gang, or that Big Mike had just strong arm robbed a clerk. They don't care that Big Mike had tried to get the service revolver, or that he hit the cop. They also don't think it is strange that with everyone having a cell phone, no one has pictures. They don't think it is strange that the eye witness stories keep changing to match with evidence released by the media. Looting is important to people like that, so they can get what the world owes them. They just want to take back what is theirs, like hair weaves and mag wheels. What would blacks have done if whites would have rioted over OJ, when he killed two whites and got away with it.
