Thank you. I'm sitting by myself up here in Maine in the mist of all the bad news going on and laughing out load. You should be writing material for Don Imus.

Having been born in Maine I'm wondering whether you meant "load" or mold?

I prefer to focus on the fact that most of the people are law abiding and that they organized themselves into preventing any more looting by standing guard of stores and they were successful.

I find it upsetting to read stereotyping based on assumptions rather then facts.
I think that the media plays a big part in what they focus on sometimes over the best interests of safety.

My heart always goes out to the parents who have to bury a child. There's not much that is harder to bare. To many children die in this country and around the world and a disproportionate are minorities. I think that is what is at the heart of this. I can't imagine trying to raise a child with those odds.

I was concerned some sharp eyed senior would pick up my load/loud spelling. Thank you for not disappointing. Where in Maine are your roots

Take away all their "free stuff". Then they would have to get a job. Then they would be home resting to be able to go to work the next day.

The assumption that the people who are looting don't have jobs is very prejudice. Lacking in integrity would be more accurate.

I don't know why they are looting and I don't know why the victim stole something from a local store just minutes before this happened.

In fact I don't know what transpired after that to make an officer of the law shoot to kill.

I hope that we will get the whole story. I for one am still shocked and saddened about someone stealing anything. Anything.

But then I am old and very out of fashion.

I just found out the reason they are not arresting any LOOTERS in Ferguson since Eric Holder's visit. He and the Justice Department have reclassified them:
They are not LOOTERS anymore,
They are UNDOCUMENTED SHOPPERS!

Not funny at all.

Maybe Bill O'Reilly's comments bears watching again.

One way to stop rioting and looting is for police officers to stop killing young black men. Brown was picked on for blocking traffic. A NY man was strangled by police for allegedly selling cigarettes.

Hopefully, the Ferguson police officer will soon be charged with homicide by the grand jury hearing this case, as was the NY police officer. Having a police badge does not give anyone a license to kill.

I am waiting to see the rest of the story. I have a prejudice for officers of the law.

If you had to spend the rest of your life in a small room with Michael Brown or this police officer, not knowing any more than we do right now, WHO would you choose if you were forced to choose? Will you be honest, or politically correct?

How can you possibly say that without actually KNOWING THE FACTS of what happened? I just don't get it.
