During the last hurricane in New Orleans I believe they threw all captured looters into general population at the big notorious prison and left them for there for almost a week. Why can't St. Louis do that? This is disgusting.
Hope all the StL folks are safe Tower Grove park/Shaw resident here and looks like shit might hit the fan here
channel 4 is saying big protests on grand. i am guessing south of SLU. stay safe down there!!
Watching channel 4 as well, that mob is like 4 blocks from me.
How goes it, you and gimme?
Lots of us keeping you and the other good folks there in our thoughts. Looks nuts from here.
thank you.
i am ok. i'm about 5 miles away from all of the shit in ferguson. he is closer to the other gathering downtown, which from most accounts is a little more peaceful.
Yeah seems fine so far. I live around where the second officer shooting happened so for a month or so we've has similar protests, it is amazing what you can get used to in a short amount of time.
The Ferguson market and liquor store is being actively looted right now. Unbelievable.
CNN cameras are showing 40-50 people running in empty handed and running out arms full of liquor and beer. I'm sure thats exactly how they the peaceful protestkrs wanted to get their point across. It would be nice if the cops got that footage and arrested everyone they could recognize stealing from that store.
I seen someone running with handful of Mickeys big mouths....i didn't think they made that anymore.
That female CNN reporter was getting pelted with cans and what looked like banannas and she said she wasn't in any danger. Jake tapper seemed surprised that there wasn't any police in that area! Go inside people.

So I just flipped back and apparently it is madness. This is accomplishing nothing and helping no one. What percentage of these "protestors" are even from Ferguson? Feel terrible for the business owners watching their livelihoods burn.

Terrible. Why loot the business' ? People sux, plain and simple. U want to loot, go loot the police station. Oh no? Why, cuz they have guns. Ohhhh, so let's fucken destroy peoples lives that have NOTHING to do with this. Straight bullshit.
lets just hope that the cops stay safe tonight dealing with these criminals. Good job destroying your pivotal moment. The spotlight has never been brighter.
Seriously? So since its apparent that Wilson acted in self defense and the evidence shows that Brown was the aggressor, the "citizens" of Ferguson are going to make THEIR city a war zone. Makes perfect sense to me.
Browns death is maybe the straw that breaks the camels back, or at least I hope so.
The system is broken.
What do you expect to see changed?
You can go back in this thread (and others) and see plenty of evidence posted about what is wrong with the system, police abuse and obvious racial profiling among other things.
I could go on and on but I think a good place to start is to watch this documentary.

I'm not saying the system does not have its flaws, but is it possible that the grand jury ruled correctly based on the evidence they had?
I've heard no shots in the back. I've heard Brown attacked several times. I've heard DNA on pants, shirt, and inside car of Wilson's. I've also heard many key witnesses recanted their testimony- saying they were influenced by social media.
They are releasing all the evidence from what I have heard. This should help make things a little clearer, but it really is hard to know what to think given the media playing us like fiddles over the last few months.

Running across a major freeway here.
With cars still driving on it.
I hope this is the idiocy-level we'll reach tonight in this neck of the country.
