In Ferguson, Mo., early Saturday morning, Times reporter Matt Pearce reported live at the scene of looting and protests.
The unrest came after a day of mainly peaceful protests over the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer a week ago. That calm came after days of tense confrontations between protesters and the police. Trouble began again early Saturday after a crowd gathered in the area near a mini-mart that authorities allege Brown had robbed shortly before he was killed.
Protests in the area soon deteriorated into looting. [Note: The first tweet below was sent at 1:32 a.m. local time. Missouri is two hours ahead of the West Coast.](continued)

Buying stuff is for suckers.
No free stuff, no peace.
—as someone stated some years ago, “urban rioting is done for two reasons—fun and profit”—
I thought they shoot looters? Where are those Korean store owners with shot guns? Are they only in LA?
Insurance doesn’t cover damage from civil unrest. The lives of those burned out and ruined business owners and families have been ruined.
A few bleeding thugs early on, left on the sidewalk for a few hours could have done wonders.
Most of the business owners are not black.They will leave and another s***hole will be created!
“Hide you kiiiids........”
Build a fence around the city. Allow 24 hrs for anyone to leave after that only pedestrians to come and go through a check point. Shut off the Water! Let them deplete all the food in the new formed compound shut off all new supplies that are re scheduled.
Why are Crackas trying to shut down the looting? It’s promoting entrepreneurship. A young man stole 3 crates of liquor, and then offers to sell them on the street. “3 for a dolla!” A new small business was just created!
Who says Obama hasn’t created jobs?
There are a lot of Koreans in LA, and all over Southern Califonria, but there probably aren't many in St. Louis.
