In defense of rioting in Ferguson

By Michael Homan · Sunday, Nov. 30,2014 7:13 p.m.

These are also the same people who seem to believe that whatever’s happening in Ferguson right now is not related to race. If you’re reading this, and you’re a white person, you will likely have no idea what black people in Ferguson are going through.
