well, at 10:50 pm eastern, the police have moved in their vehicles and started to try to disperse the crowd again. visible rocks and other objects are flying

Did he inhale?

I’m not sure who you are referencing. If it’s on Fox, I’m not watching it live.

Yes...but for the thugs to leave the blacks have to move them....the police are in the background letting those with megaphones get the crowd to back off...seems for the moment it’s working.

However the Communist group there, who wants this protest to become violent so they can create it to go nationwide, are not going to just give up their plight.....

It’s not midnight yet....and that’s always a witching hour.

[PghBaldy]

So they wait a week, and now they do this? Why now I wonder? Are they afraid of the NG?

[yldstrk]

I do not for one minute comprehend their movements back and forth but it doesn’t look good

[backpacker_c]

don't know what happened. it's like a mexican standoff right now, but a bunch of the vehicles and swat took off just a few minutes ago to take care of something down the street, it appears from a few minutes ago things appear like it has settled down again

[yldstrk]

No they did not, they caused a lot of resentment

[Dallas59]

It’s a way to disperse the crowd. Weeds out the ones most aggressive.

You mean William Jefferson Clinton?

[yldstrk]

i agree, if the peeps want to stand around big deal

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Suggest a lifetime ban on EBT/SNAP cards for anyone causing trouble.

[yldstrk]

no they did not, you all should stop with this type of commentary

[mass55th]

"No they did not, they caused a lot of resentment"

Well of course, because they worked.

[mass55th]

"no they did not, you all should stop with this type of commentary"

It’s all one big spread out metro area

[Dallas59]

Alot of these “protesters” are from outside...anarchists, especially the white ones wearing the cute riot outfits.

[smokingfrog]

There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot going on at the moment.

I can't help but feel this would have dispersed days ago if Jay Nixon hadn't opened his fat mouth.

Now Ubama and Erik the Red are getting involved.

A. This will only make it worse because it brings MORE national media attention (al la Shep Smith breathless reporting on his link) which brings more rabble rousers from elsewhere.

Or B. The Situation has run it's course and Ubama swoops in, does nothing to solve it, but takes credit for it being resolved.
