This is what I came here looking for. An answer to the question of "What's going to win out here: a sense of community strong enough to rebuild, or the sense of betrayal from being wrecked by the town you serviced. "

I'm sorry for your loss, from the outside it makes no sense, none whatsoever to be vandalized by the community you helped build economically in so many ways.

I was watching CNN from the time of the announcement and they were focusing more on the general unrest. But streaming the police scanners at the same time we kept hearing calls regarding Florissant Ave and knew it had to be bad there. We saw a shot on TV the next morning of your burned out store, the sign on the ground and knew they were one and the same.

Again, sorry for your loss I'll try to kick in some next Friday when we get paid.

Listening to the scanners that night, at least once the fire department was told to either pull back or not go due to random shots being fired by troublemakers. They (the cops) could not guarantee their safety. I am not defending the lack of response or saying you should be okay with it, it just added to the lunacy from my viewpoint. "They are even preventing people from providing aide with their (the looters) stupidity!"
