What does holiday commerce have to do with justice and police brutality? It's anyone's guess, but the #BlackoutBlackFriday movement is trending up and going viral. "Hyper-capitalism" is being targeted as a scapegoat in the wake of the Ferguson decision. How very ironic that the real victims are the small business owners of Ferguson, who had their stores looted and torched... again. http://www.forbes.com/sites/clareoconnor/2014/11/25/notonedime-black-friday-boycotts-planned-to-protest-ferguson-decision/ This has to be the most misguided attempt at directing economic sanctions ever. Some have suggested on Twitter to shop only at black owned stores, which is less misguided, but also stinks of classism and racism.

Ferguson, Missouri has been engulfed in rioting and looting following the death of 18-year-old black teenager Michael Brown. Officer Darren Wilson, a white policeman, shot and killed Brown on the streets of Ferguson - a tragic incident that became the catalyst for a wave of civil unrest in the local community.Brown died shortly after robbing a convenience store with his friend Dorian Johnson. This information wasn't confirmed until Johnson's attorney, Freeman Bosley, admitted that his client took part in the crime.What happened? Who is responsible?
