    Is it any wonder the rest of the world thinks America has lost it's edge? It wasn't that long ago the powers could have saved four people from a horrific death, but they procrastinated when it came to sending in the cavalry.

    Fast forward to November 24 and with the cavalry down the street from the flash point of the Ferguson riots, some one blinked again, and this time good people lost their life time dreams to groups of evil, malicious people rioting for no purpose but to steal and destroy from innocent business owners.

    In Benghazi, and and Ferguson the government could have spared the personal losses of good Americans, but for reasons still not known .... the cavalry was held back just long enough to let lawless individuals terrorize and destroy lives.

    What a pathetic group of people we have running our government. And the moral is, no one is safe, because we can no longer trust in the cavalry sounding their bugles in time to safe us like we had become so accustomed to over decades of excellence.

    What say you? Can you depend on the government to do anything more than bungle the protection we are expecting? :type:

    I'm gonna stay in Texas where business and home owners can legally defend themselves and their property..

    Wanna protest? Have at it. Wanna steal my inventory or burn my house and threaten my family? Be sure your affairs are in order.

    I can honestly say ... had I owned a business that was in the line of fire in Ferguson that night, I would have armed all my employees, and anyone entering my business that night to do harm to my property would have been shot!

    Harsh? Maybe! But it is the way things used to be, and we still have the right to protect our property and life from the evil mindset of the lawless crowds!

    Nixon was taking orders from the White House to let Ferguson burn down. Some are saying that there are few insurance polices that cover riots so some of those stores may not ever re-open. If I lived in Ferguson, I would move out.

    Impeach Nixon!

    Shoot first and ask questions later. Very nice attitude.

    Also, I'd like to see you get your employees to come to "work" at 9:00 at night, ready to shoot people to protect your property.
