We all need to remember these people who went out and protested for a cause last night and then had to get up and go to work.
Many got to work and found out where they worked had caught fire and burned so they have no job. Now they will have to get on public assistance to get through these tough times.

Oh never mind

The Missouri church where Michael Brown's father was baptized over the weekend was torched Monday night — but the pastor does not think the arson was part of the fiery violence that erupted elsewhere in the community.

The Rev. Carlton Lee told NBC News that he believes Flood Christian Church was targeted because he has repeatedly called for the arrest of Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot the unarmed teen but was not indicted by a grand jury.

The church went up in flames around the same time about a dozen other buildings were set ablaze in Ferguson by protesters angered by the grand jury's decision, but it's on a remote section of West Florissant Avenue where other structures were unscathed.

"The police called me and told me the church was on fire," Lee said. "I was in complete disbelief. I didn't think anyone would set a church on fire.

NO one should burn anything let alone a church...

I don't like how this guy is using a "church" for his misguided notions. My first thought, ill of me or not, is somebody was from out of town and thought it was a honky church, and second thought, wonder how much insurance they had on the place?

Bad stuff all the way around.

Of course it was the rioters who set the church on fire.
Even though they might call themselves "Christian" their actions are far from what Jesus taught. Michael Brown demonstrated that he too was far removed from Christianity.

The only solution to the problem of blacks throughout the nation is to get to know and follow Jesus and not just some social equivalent of Jesus's teaching.

Why would a pastor call for the arrest of Officer Wilson? That strikes me as odd. Why not call for accepting the Grand Jury decision? Sounds like he was a rebel rouser too.

feds and local police do not expect to find or arrest the rioters who set dozens of blazes in the community... except...

Feds Probing Arson of Michael Brown Sr.'s Church

Federal investigators are looking into an arson fire that burned the Missouri church where Michael Brown's father was baptized over the weekend.

"This is a slow and painstaking process," said John Ham, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which is working with a local task force on the case.

The pastor said he doubted the same people who were raging on the other end of West Florissant had burned his church. Instead, he said, he suspected white supremacists who wanted to punish him for his support of the Brown family, who had just been baptized there.

"Sunday, we do the baptism, Monday, the church is one fire. It just doesn't add up," he said.

I hope they catch the person who set the fire.. but I think to many folk are jumping to to many conclusions these days and then are angry when the facts do not agree with them...
