While scores of businesses in Ferguson were being looted by out of control rioters Sunday night, a couple of them went the evening without incident.
If you�re wondering why, then check out the following picture for the answer.
Nobody is robbing St. Louis Ink Tattoo Studio anytime soon. Or County Guns, for that matter.
The two north county businesses share a storefront in a Florissant strip mall less than ten minute drive from the epicenter of last night�s riots in Ferguson.
�
After hearing of the roving bands of looters, Mike Gutierrez knew he had to protect his tattoo shop. He brought a posse with him, including Adam Weinstein, owner of County Guns, who was acutely worried about criminals getting their hands on his merchandise.
�We didn�t want them coming in here and then running around with a bunch of free guns,� Weinstein told Daily RFT when we arrive at the store around 12:30 a.m. this morning. Weinstein was outfitted with an assault rifle, pistol and tactical vest. Gutierrez cradled his own rifle in his hands.
It turns out that when violent looters come face to face with people prepared to kill to defend their property, the looters tend to choose a �safer� target.

Imagine that! The Korean grocery store was the first thing that popped into my mind also when I heard about the looting.

Why is this not the lead story in the MSM papers and TV news?

I can't remember which LA riot when it happened, but during one when Weatherby still had the shop in Firestone Ca. some of their people were on the roof with heavy magnums.
Some rioters attempted to ram a truck into the store.
They didn't make it.
Seems the engine didn't run so good after it was hit a few times. grin

Me too. Hep C, local warrants and pending child support can always be put on the back burner when the natives get restless.

It was in the St Louis Post Dispatch. The article stated that these businesses were about a 10 minute drive from where the riot was happening. I assume that it was not a lead story because these guys were not in the middle of it like the Korean shop owners in LA. Still, I say good on these guys for protecting their business and community.

This record is sympathetic to the rioters and leaves out numerous anecdotes of decent people using their 2d Amendment right to protect themselves from race rioters. It is fascinating to see revisionist writing twist the truth. Hence our current President.

That "body armor" on the guy on the left looks to only cover his cholesterol laden enlarged heart though.

It is ill fitting, slightly larger than his heart. So if he had a cholesterol laden large heart, then the armor would cover it. Nude photos of me to follow...

The dude on the right of the photo is obviously the groups planner. He brought his woman for when things get boring.
