Ferguson, Missouri after a crux incident reported to be that a teenager was shot, has developed into somewhat of an inferno.
Somewhat is used to describe because, the situation does not involve as many people as Watts Riots back in the 1960s, or later in that same region, L.A. riots after Rodney King incident.
It is wisest to gravitate to complete discipline than to start a momentum of bucking law enforcement.
There are levels of authorities in law enforcement, whereas if local law enforcement made error or seemed to, state will step in, and so forth.
Rushing to the area to exacerbate the situation and try to turn yourself into a celebrity taking footage and reports of the scene, knowingly not cooperating with police officers, does not help the situation.
On the subject of helping a region, usually when something like what is going on or was going on in Ferguson happens, it is because, 'something else is wrong'.
Where on the list of financial support is Ferguson, especially in context of economic lows since about 2007?
Major problems, no matter where the city, that usually should be the subject of investigation include:
Quality of schools
Quality of nutrition for children in the region
Frequency of child abuse with an emphasis on neglect
What are the statistics, known and unknown, in Ferguson in these areas?
In the past few decades, the U.S. has witnessed events remindful, in Atlanta, L.A., Detroit in the 1960s. Is the situation indicative of retrogression?
Young adult males running in and out of stores robbing them, and caught on camera, is not the proper response to the solutions of concerns surrounding the teenager shot.
Acting with wisdom, prudency, and respect, goes further.

Attacks at Community Colleges Has Gone Too Far
Community Colleges are not intended to be the battleground to stage attacks. Attacks could come in the form of knife, gun, or some violent rampage.
A doctorate thesis requiring years of research is not necessary to come to this conclusion, and to state that the situation needs to be addressed. Surely there are many that concur to this.
If you were to do all of 10 minutes of research on a history of attacks at community colleges within recent years, you will probably find a bundle.
An example of what is being discussed here, a quick list:
This list might be updated soon. Meanwhile there are enough incidents cited that the point has been more than made.

If you were to do all of 10 minutes of research on a history of attacks at community colleges within recent years, you will probably find a bundle.
An example of what is being discussed here, a quick list:
- Texas
- Lone Star Community College stabbing rampage earlier this week
- Lone Star Community College, North Harris, January 22nd this year, shooting
- Wyoming
- 3 dead on November 30, 2012, last year, Casper College; bow-and-arrow type weapon reportedly involved
- Florida
- Stun Gun attack at Brevard College, June 18-19th, 2012 thereabout
- Missouri
- Man found shot near St. Louis Community College, February 20th, 2013, this year
- Connecticut
- Threat of Mass shooting at Gateway Community College, this year, same date as immediately above, 20th of February
This list might be updated soon. Meanwhile there are enough incidents cited that the point has been more than made.
