Tonight they're sending in 1500 national guard, wtf didn't they do that last night?
Missouri's lieutenant governor demanded answers Tuesday morning after violence exploded overnight in Ferguson, Mo. following a grand jury decision not to indict a police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager in August.
Appearing on Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder took aim at Missouri's chief executive: "If you are going to have the National Guard deployed and a state of emergency declared and then hold them back, I say the governor owes the people of Missouri a lot of explanations."
Hours before the grand jury decision was announced, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon appealed for calm and pledged authorities were "focused on making sure the necessary resources are at hand to protect lives, protect property and protect free speech."
"It is not enough to stand at a press conference and mouth some lines that were prepared," Kinder said. "You have to actually act."
On Monday, November 17, Nixon signed an executive order activating the Missouri National Guard to "support law enforcement during any period of unrest that might occur following the grand jury's decision concerning the investigation into the death of Michael Brown." But those guardsmen were noticeable absent as rioters burned and looted as many as 25 buildings and vandalized police cars in Ferguson.
"We see the National Guard rolling in this morning... where were they last night? The law-abiding citizens and business owners and taxpayers of Ferguson and the St. Louis region have a right to ask this governor to answer some questions," Kinder said. "Why were they not in there at the first sign of an overturned police car or a smashed police car window with a show of force that would have stopped this?"
Kinder had a question of his own for Gov. Nixon: "Is the reason that the National Guard was not in there because the Obama administration and the Holder Justice Department leaned on you to keep them out? I cannot imagine any other reason why the governor who mobilized the National Guard would not have them in there to stop this."

About 20 men with handguns stood guard at the Greystone Plaza last night.The St.Louis Post-Dispatch reported:
Along West Florissant just north of 270, in Greystone Plaza, about 20 men with handguns and AR-15 rifles stood around the perimeter of the parking lot, guarding the dozen or so stores. They estimated that 100 cars had come by throughout the night, seemingly to check the place out, but turned away. Mike Cross, the owner of St. Louis Ink at the plaza, said: “There’s nothing in this strip mall open, so you’re going to get scrutinized.” The strip mall had been hit by vandals soon after the shooting in August.

The men wore masks and carried handguns and AR-15 rifles.The Daily Journal reported:
A couple miles north of the police station, about six men stood in front of Greystone Plaza, a small shopping center that had been looted soon after the Michael Brown shooting in August. The men wore masks and carried handguns and AR-15 rifles. “I will definitely call police first,” in case the store sees trouble, said St. Louis Ink Tattoo studio owner Mike Cross, 35. “We are not trigger happy by any means. We all have families, and homes and vehicles and bills. So this place cannot go anywhere.”

O'Reilly asked him where the National Guard was last night. The chief said there seemed to be more concern about optics than safety.

It is a mistake to think businessmen are more immoral than politicians!
