FERGUSON PROTESTS MOVE TO TARGET, WAL-MART STORES
MANCHESTER, Mo. (AP) -- Dozens of people have interrupted holiday shopping at major retail stores around the St. Louis area to speak out about a grand jury's decision not to indict the officer who fatally shot Michael Brown.
The protests began Thanksgiving night and continued early Friday. Protesters spent a few minutes at each store, shouting inside. Officer in at least one store ordered them to leave. There was no immediate word of any arrests.
According to Johnetta Elzie, who had been tweeting and posting videos of the protests, demonstrations occurred at a Wal-Mart and Target in Brentwood, two Wal-Marts in St. Charles and one Wal-Mart in Manchester.

My suspicion is these are Occupods who are from other areas. The convene on the style of flash mobs to make their noise.
These protest are probably being coordinated right out of the WH. Jarrett said there would be payback amd boy was she right. I think the goal was to diminish the influence of the white man in ever aspect of our culture and elevate the black man but I think it completely backfired on them and has had an even greater negative effect than they could have ever anticipated. What it has done is separate the wheat from the schaff and show us there are really two different types of black people - respectful educated black people who are hardworking and have Christian values who we respect and then THEM - Thug America USA.
Let’s try this again:

Does the left ever boycott Apple stores?
How can there still be deniers of the intent of this democrat US President and his supporters to destroy America? No laws enforced to stop the mayhem until it has run its course. Police left to fight off mobs of unrestricted lawlessness and the big muscle held back until it can be used as a peace keeper which is not a huge help to a trashed city. This is what rules our country now.
Ignoring the riots and marches, I think the Trayvon stuff was more widespread. I had friends of mine posing in hoodies in honor of Trayvon.
And the MEDIA are their enablers.
Wow, that will make a real difference. BTW, did u know the Natl Guatd was positioned behind the Target and the Wal*Mart? No wonder those didn’t burn that night.
Seems like those Marxists in Occupy are back to their old tricks. Time to support those stores.
Pray America is waking
The morons can't think past next week when there won't be any stores left to loot. Fine, burn it down. Run out every business owner within 20 miles. Paint "Closed" across the city limit sign. Become a wasteland. They're doing it to themselves. Aside from sympathy for the business owners, the entire place can rot.
Even without the Ferguson riots, the Democrats got badly whipped in the recent elections. Obamacare was a political disaster, as even Chuck Schumer recently admitted. As for the Obama Administration's mishandling of the Ebola outbreak and de facto amnesty for 5 million illegals, these activities are further sabotaging Democrat electoral prospects. Obama is really the second coming of Jimmy Carter, whose incompetence resulted in the election of Reagan.
“Dozens of people have interrupted holiday shopping”
Yep. ENTIRE dozens. And that’s the TOTAL across the nation, not the size of any actual individual crowd, most of which are UNDER a dozen. Biggest crowd was TWO dozen.
Looks like the “protests” are petering out pretty quickly. I don’t think it’s helping the professional race-baiters and agitators that almost everyone has more important and more enjoyable things to do during the holiday season than “protest”.
Just an FYI to all. That store being looted is the one from where Brown stole those cigars. In later pictures the hand banners outside have been completely torn down.
The protestors won’t have to worry about anyone carrying a self-defense firearm, because Target forbids it.
No one cares. Go back to your federally subsidized dwellings and leave normal people alone.
The group of “Protesters” are shown In a target store. On TV.
They should all be arrested for interfering with a Lawful Business.
In Cleveland, the day before the 12 year old threatening people with a too-real looking gun was shot by police, 7 people were executed in cold blood on the east side, 5 in one case, 2 in another. One of them was a mother 7 months pregnant, thus that's two murders. The killer(s) are on the loose.
What's my point? People who live in and near Cleveland understand that the police might be quick to respond....can you imagine if another set of murders happened, outside a rec center? Also in Cleveland, the city gets it that tourists and conventioneers pay the bills. No way would anyone approve of what happened downtown, which could discourage money spenders over the holidays, in normal circumstances.
What's my point? I don't know what's going on, but there's a lot that's disconcerting about it. All those cities, the protest leaders decided to stop traffic on major highways? They reached out to suburban college kids and churches, why? They knew their agenda would be altered if locals were too involved?
All I know is what's around me. Up until that a lot of my neighbors would get vocal with managers if they hired Hispanic non-citizens instead of black youth from the east side. Now we wonder what would happen if some thug did something stupid in our law-and-order oriented town.
I know all blacks don't like the focus being taken from the need for jobs and neighborhood security. But I wish they'd speak up. A reasonable protest would be "US jobs for US citizens". That's been put on the back burner.
I ramble. I'm trying in my mind to figure out what the end game might be. And I don't like the thoughts I'm having. This was all so rigged.
“In Cleveland, the day before the 12 year old threatening people with a too-real looking gun was shot by police,”
I heard about that case in Cleveland but never knew all the facts. The kid was threatening people with the realistic toy gun? Damn he was just asking to be shot. Future thug off the streets is all I’m going to say.
