This is explosive as it is delineated by race and by social class for the most part, though I will say that this is not true for every single last person out there. I know a few people with money that surprisingly enough are siding against the Ferguson police and I'm quite impressed with them for seeing what they see. It will be interesting to see what the verdict is and then what the consequences are. Something that has not been discussed here that I ran across online is economic fallout for St. Louis - apparently they have already lost several large conventions and I read some "expert" online stating that St. Louis is going to have a harder time now attracting businesses to relocate and/or start up in their area. There already is economic fallout. Interesting to see the level of fallout and the level of denial after the verdict is read regardless of how it plays out. Rob
Ill bet most of the fallout will be because of the rioting and looting, not from the police action. Who wants to have a convention or start a business there. And guess who will be harmed the most from it.

Im sure glad glad I moved out of the area when I did. I lived about 30 miles from Ferguson and on the other side of the river. But I did pass by the area now and then. No more.
