The College Conservative’s Chelsea Gruenwald takes a look at the news surrounding the Ferguson riots, and identifies the real victims of this disturbance.

Violent protests erupted throughout the St Louis area Monday night, following the news that a grand jury did not indict the police officer involved in a well-known case from Ferguson, Missouri. Back in August, the police officer in question got into an altercation with and shot and killed an 18 year-old black man. Protesters flocked to the streets to protest the lack of an indictment, which they describe as an “injustice.” Overnight the protests led to 80 arrests–61 of those were burglary and trespassing charges–100 gunshots were fired, and at least 25 buildings were looted and burned. Amid the continuous violent riots, the protesters try to assure others, “we are not your enemy. We just want justice.”

But who are the real victims of this “justice” brought by the Ferguson protesters?

Protesters looted electronic stores, stole crossbows from a pawn shop, and burned American flags in full view of many media cameras. A local Panera Bread store was broken into and looted by protesters. But the protesters didn’t stop at looting stores. Soon they sset a local Walgreens and Little Caesar’s on fire. The fear and path of destruction continued as gunfire from automatic weapons erupted from among the protesters. Protesters also set a car dealership on fire, destroying 10 cars. While the protesters claimed to want “justice” for what happened to Michael Brown in August, they effectively destroyed their town and destroyed and stole many innocent people’s property.

The protesters didn’t stick to just destroying property: people were also injured during the riots. An elderly man was carjacked and then run over by Ferguson protesters. A young man was found dead Tuesday morning, his body burned, and his family members believe his death is tied to the protests that rocked the streets the night before.
