Riots…is this one of those situations that’s unfolding in slow motion and MOST people just simply not noticing it? Can’t be good for the stock market. Not now with the riots and not later with the outcome of the trials for the cops. I am taking even more money off of the table.[/quote]
Maybe we are just iraq circa 2003. Rumsfeld says looting is a sign of good things to come. Stay invested!

WASHINGTON, April 11 (UPI) — U.S. forces should not be blamed for the lawlessness and looting in Baghdad as it is a natural consequence of the transition from a dictatorship to a free country, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Friday at the Pentagon.
“The task we’ve got ahead of us now is an awkward one … It’s untidy. And freedom’s untidy. And free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They’re also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that’s what’s going to happen here,” Rumsfeld said.
