Ferguson, Missouri RIP

                                                                   

Ferguson, Missouri was founded in the 1850's when a farmer allotted a small parcel of his farm, to be used as a railroad depot.  From those humble beginnings the Germans, the Irish, The Scotts and other "hybrid Americans" began building a community there.  They farmed, they laid plots to build homes, they planted trees and gardens, built churches, established businesses, and began living their lives in a community built of strong moral values and a strong work ethic.  And life was pretty damn fine in small town Ferguson, Missouri.

Then, some 140 years later, the fastest example of "White Flight" occurred right there in Ferguson, Missouri.  It first began as urban blacks began moving into the area, drawn by federal projects designed to attract urban Blacks to move out of the decaying ghettos of St. Louis, and out to the more friendly confines of 75% White Ferguson, Missouri.  In one single decade, 1990 to 2000, that demographic was turned on its head.  As crime surged, as working White folks began to feel unsafe in their neighborhoods, as their streets were trashed and their neighborhoods plagued with urban decay, the Whites moved out in droves.  And Ferguson, Missouri became 75% Black and doomed to failure.

Old Joe Zisser stayed around.  Joe owned a tire business.  For decades Joe stayed, offered his customer a fair price for his tires, employed local workers.  Then last August the Blacks burned Joe's business down to the ground.  

Monday night Blacks drove a stake into the dying corpse of Ferguson, Missouri.  They destroyed a McDonald's, burned down 27 buildings, including grocery stores, a Walgren's Drug Store, a Little Caesar's Pizza joint, beauty shops and phone stores and little restaurants just barely getting by as it was before the riots and looting and burning.

Tuesday morning the pictures were chilling.  Fireman and Police strung yellow crime tape around businesses already destroyed, making the yellow crime tape almost comical.  Business owners walked through the rubble of a business where they had pledged a lifetime of work and small bank loans to build a life for their families.  All gone now.    One looks at the pictures and  one sees community volunteers, all White, sweeping up broken glass and hauling off the trash left by hundreds of angry Blacks....angered beyond belief that our justice system would not allow them to lynch Darren Wilson...damn the evidence!

So Ferguson, a healthy community less than 25 years ago, goes the way of Detroit and Baltimore and downtown Atlanta and South Central Los Angeles and the South Side of Chicago...all now dead by the hand of three generations of pampered Blacks who don't believe the rules of civilization applies to them and who have staked claim to an "out" no matter how barbaric their behavior.....somewhere in their bloodline their great, great, great granddaddy was a slave and honkies will always owe them a green check and an excuse.

I'm so disgusted. I'm actually so much more than that but cannot think of words to describe it. Guess I should have drank my cup of coffee first! ugh.

A Modest Scribler said...

Me too, Carol. It was pretty hard to watch the other night. Wonder if America will ever wake up and stop giving them a pass.

Carol said...

I truly don't see that happening ANY time soon!

A Modest Scribler said...

Nope. Me either.

Carol said...

Especially when you have the president speaking to the nation about it, I say as I throw my hands up in the air!!!

We all have a tendency to live up to what others expect of us. I wonder how much the egging on of the Media played in this development? In my little town
of 100,000 or so, 200 showed up to protest. Few news people were there and when it got dark they all went home!
Not a side note but maybe key to this issue, fewer people as a percentage are Home Owners today than ever before!
Fewer manufacturing jobs, fewer "living wage jobs", less and less to be conservative about. We replace these conservative notions (decent jobs and homes) with Government welfare in its many forms. It clearly is not working. Watch the subsidies pour in to rebuild Ferguson! Something learned from Gaza!

Must be a real proud time for "Black Folk" showing how they have learned to light matches and throw rocks. Come a long way from the Cavemen haven't they? It'll be a long time b4 anyone opens a business in Ferguson again. Real smart people we have there. IQ's about 30 maybe?

Jerry, your comments are always like hairs in my oatmeal. Like the oatmeal but have to pick out the hairs before I can eat it. For example, I agree with you on the media. In fact, I was just thinking about that the night of the first riot/burning/looting. These monkeys were performing. Not that they wouldn't have broken into the liquor store (who wouldn't love the chance to rob a liquor store?)...but the burning and rage would have been far less without an audience. And I even agree with you on the jobs problems, and home problems. But our nanny government has made it so damn easy to live off government gravy, many just don't want to work. Many of those Ferguson thugs have never worked a single day in their life; they are illiterate and can't fill out a job application and have little interest in working anyway as long as the gravy train is still running. As to fewer jobs, well that's quite a complicated problem that has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives...hairs in my oatmeal...sigh.

A Modest Scribler said...

And Frank, they never learn. Detroit, Baltimore, South Central L.A., Chicago's south side ghettos...the list is endless and the results are always the same.

Jerry Carlin said...

No hairs at all, my friend, chunks of truth! All I said was that in order to be Conservative you need something to be conservative about...other than a welfare check!

A Modest Scribler said...

Conservative means standing on your own two feet for as long as you can, and being a hard working and productive citizen. Then, when you retire or can't work because of sickness and disability there's enough money in the pot to take care of you. Under this system there's too many pigs at the trough and most don't belong there. That's conservatism and still a worthy goal to shoot for.

Well once again the entitlement crowd is incensed because they didn't get their way! The businesses looted and burned to the ground by marauding bands of baboons mostly from St Louis, not the residents who have lost those businesses, some even Black owned. Who knows if any will rebuild and reopen.

Why the decision was announced so late at night is beyond me. This made it very easy for the criminals to commit their crimes and get away with it. No doubt NONE will ever be prosecuted.
Even Emperor Owebama was pissed! not because of the looting and burning but the decision to not indict Officer Wilson! And of course Holder will continue with his investigation in spite of all the evidence there is to the contrary. And of course, the race racketeers are there too to stir the shit up and inflame the crowds...NO jussis no peace!

There was justice, except they didn't like it!

A Modest Scribler said...

All true, Steve. But it wouldn't have mattered what time the announcement was made...these low life's don't need much to get them going and they were just praying for a dismissal so they could really go ape...they don't give a shit about Michael Brown.

And the answer to who will rebuild? You and your tax dollars. The Emperor and Eric will allot a hundred million or so toward that effort...always do.

What they should have done, was bring in the big red trucks and spray their asses with water. It was 39 degrees that night, that would have taken the fight out of the POS's. I don't know why we continue to allow this crap to happen. Get in there and line the streets with Cops, and National Guard with oders to kick ass and take names if anyone wants to get squirrely, Period! "Pull up your pants and get a fucking job"!

A Modest Scribler said...

My very thoughts that night, Brian. Kept waiting for the National Guard to show up but their Democratic governor was scared shitless to deploy them. After all that burning and looting and property damage he stuck his thumb in the air, gauged the public mood and finally put them out there last night.

I watched a scene of the chimpout in Minneapolis that happened last night. Some "protesters" tried to block an intersection when a motorist didn't stop for the protester in front of them and got run over and slightly injured as a result of their stupidity.. This is a case of monkey see, monkey do.. The monkeys are running wild in a lot of cities all over the world, burning and looting and pillaging.

So far not one pair of work boots have been stolen LOL

Of course the race racketeers are having a field day with this and Owebama isn't helping a bit as usual.

The real shame of all this is the law abiding, hardworking Black folks get hurt by the illegal actions of a few law breakers.. The Black owned businesses that were destroyed by the mindless mob, several in Ferguson torched and looted, and now even fewer jobs to go to. One4 worked who showed up at what had been his place of work, stunned almost speechless, eyeing the store burned to the ground.. knowing he was instantly unemployed.. And a lot of others in the same boat.
All because some can't accept the rule of law and didn't get their way!

Truly sad

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL !!

Thanks, Steve. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.
