From Yahoo News:
A man was gravely wounded in a gun battle with police in Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night after a day of peaceful rallies to mark the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer one year ago. Several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of last year's unrest in the St. Louis suburb after Michael Brown, 18, was slain. Police later said the gunfire began with two groups of agitators apparently shooting at each other.

Anniversary commemorations had begun hours earlier with a peaceful march through the St. Louis suburb. The scene changed dramatically after dark. Dozens of protesters converged on West Florissant Avenue, which bore the brunt of last summer's rioting, and chanted: "Shut it down" in the midst of a severe thunderstorm.

Cos protecting a fucking storefront is worth shooting any number of darkies?RIght?
Any number of imaginary "darkies" who are dumb enough to wade into bullets for the slim chance of destroying another part of their community? That would be evolution in action.
That's your moral equation.
Morality? Sounds more like basic hygiene. Just because there are legitimate grievances here doesn't give anyone an excuse to destroy someone's livelihood and property. And if that means that this hypothetical vandal and looter should catch a bullet while caught in the act of destruction? That's a win for society as well as the business. If you want to win something on moral grounds then you have to be moral not merely make excuses for wrongdoing. The above bullshit doesn't fly.
