Black Ferguson Residents Armed With AR-15s Save White Owner’s Business
29th November 2014
A group of black Ferguson residents armed with AR-15s and other weapons stood guard around a Conoco station, owned by a white man, and saved it from being burned after looters began wreaking havoc on November 24.
Because of the armed citizens, the Conoco was not only spared, but the owner did not even have to board up the station’s windows.

Store owner Doug Merello said, “We would have been burned to the ground many times over if it weren’t for them.”
Things are not yet entirely hopeless.
