Obviously, the town is not, and was never, the hellhole the MSM made it out to be.

A NOTE FROM TIM:
I grew up near Ferguson and it is not. It is essentially a college town, just a few miles from the University of Missouri St. Louis. It has some big, beautiful older homes and was a very up-and-coming community as young people began moving back in and rehabbing those lovely old homes. When plans were made to expand the airport (plans since abandoned) the historical black community of Kinloch was bought out and the residents moved en masse to Ferguson, which flipped the demographic. It had been around 70% white in 2000 and by 2010 was 65% black (roughly). Needless to say, the political structure had not yet changed, as this shift occured in a matter of a couple of years.
Kinloch was always a crime riddled hellhole. The Kinlochians who settled in Ferguson were also not happy about being forced to move there, and between crime and anger the Canfield apartments add other such heavily consentrated areas became a powderkeg. Ferguson wasn't the problem; disbanding Kinloch and moving it into Ferguson was.
And it's still a nice place, although the people who bought houses there have lost a lot of value. But it will come back.
