NBA analyst Charles Barkley had some harsh words for Ferguson looters and agreed with the grand jury’s decision to not indict Darren Wilson.

Last week the town of Ferguson, Missouri learned that officer Darren Wilson would not be charged with anything in the shooting of 18-year-old  Michael Brown. The verdict led to wide spread protest and some incidents of looting in the Ferguson community, which became a focus point of the coverage of the incident from that point on.

Immediately following the announcement that Wilson would not be charged, the town of Ferguson erupted into fire, looting, and pockets of violence. Popular NBA analyst Charles Barkley talked about the looting and his decision to side with the grand jury’s decision and officer Wilson.

For Barkley, the proof is clear and obvious for those that decide to intelligently read and comprehend what the evidence shows.

Barkley’s comments are insight from the world of celebrities, many of whom are siding with what Barkley is saying.  It was a very intelligent and well thought out interview, in which Barkley — who can notoriously get goofy with his analysis of basketball, got very serious about a very serious topic dictating the American populous at the moment.
