        @aterkel has there been discussion about looters targeting businesses owned by people who are not African American in community?

        Not necessarily racist, we don't know their mindset. Sadly, more than likely, survival. @penelopesire @chris63414391 @aterkel

        @ProudoftheUSA Good point. However, it illustrates that if you are white in Ferguson, now you are a target. @chris63414391 @aterkel

        @aterkel @nycjim Shouldn't matter who owns the business. Looting is unacceptable & detracts from the very serious problems in #Ferguson & US
