Missouri Lt. Gov. Criticizes Absence Of National Guard: ‘Where Were They Last Night?’

Missouri Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder questioned why the National Guard did not intervene Monday night to subdue the rioters and looters following the announcement that officer Darren Wilson would not be indicted for the death of Michael Brown.

Last week, Dem. Gov. Jay Nixon activated the National Guard in preparation for the grand jury announcement, but did not end up utilizing them last night, when cars were smashed and destroyed and nearby businesses were looted and burned down.

“The vast majority of Missourians are asking this morning … where were they last night?” Kinder, a Republican, asked Tuesday morning on “Happening Now.” “The law-abiding citizens and business owners and taxpayers of Ferguson, the St. Louis region have a right to ask this governor to answer some questions.”

To release the verdict at prime time when police and fire went to reduced night shift and the stand down of the NG made the fires, flash bangs, teargas and other explosions even more beautiful! It's prettier and more "newsworthy" at night, as during the day, it's harder for arsonists to set fires and get away with it ans looting as well!

Perfect timing for a great TV show!
