The St. Louis Rams are following through on plans to aid residents in nearby Ferguson.
The five players who did the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture before a recent home game are scheduled to appear at an Urban League of St. Louis Christmas Party on Friday for residents of Ferguson and north St. Louis County.
Tight end Jared Cook and wide receivers Kenny Britt, Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and Chris Givens will attend after practicing for the home finale against the New York Giants on Sunday. The group is contributing $10,000 to purchase gloves, hats, socks, underwear, non-perishable food items, detergent, personal hygiene items and 200 coats that will be distributed at the event.
The Rams and the Urban League anticipate attendance of 250-300 for a party that will also include food and games.

It’s really beyond the sickeningly stupid level at this point. I mean, I like Ed, he seems like a good guy but...
It’s not really a party without looting!
