No doubt Pat, I'm in no way defending them. I'm just pointing up the fallacy of DJ's statement. The overwhelming majority of the protesters are law abiding citizens airing long held and imo justified grievances. A number of those good citizens have been defending property to good effect as shown when the liquor store that Mike Brown robbed was partially looted.
All of the looters need to be ID'd, rounded up and doing some hard time. There isn't much sympathy in my heart for such behavior but I draw the line at shooting them willy nilly as some here seem to believe.
