The Lt. Governor of Mo. was interviewed and specifically asked where the National Guard was the first night when there was heavy damage from the "protesters" It became obvious that he (Republican) and the Gov. (Democrat) don't like each other and don't talk to each other. He was demanding an investigation about the Nat. Guard. He said the Gov. held them back the first night. They were deployed on night 2 and damage was greatly reduced. I am thinking that some of those merchants who lost everything might be able to sue the state for failure to protect when they had the resources to do so.
Lastly, do any of you remember those massive riots the whites held after the OJ verdict ???
