Tensions flared in the US city of Ferguson late Sunday as looters targeted at least one store following a day of somber remembrance to mark the anniversary of the police shooting of an unarmed black teen.

A crowd of about 50 people looted a beauty store in the St. Louis suburb and protesters grew confrontational late in the evening. There was no immediate word of any arrests.

Demonstrators had taken to the streets of Ferguson to mark the anniversary of 18-year-old Michael Brown's death in a fateful encounter on August 9, 2014 with officer Darren Wilson.

H/T to our FRiend RightGeek for the post.

Yesterday's date was remarkably quiet; this is one of the few things I've seen regarding Ferguson.

Coudl it be that, in the calculus of the Left, there is no more return on investment, and that the Racism Road Show has moved to the next venue - wherever that may be?

Remember Alinsky's Rules: "A good tactic is something your people enjoy", and "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag"...

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

Yes, they remembered all the fine looting available 1 year previous.

I’d assume that these aren’t the fine residents of Ferguson who were going to police themselves when the police got out of their way.

There was an article yesterday that said that 30 pharmacies had been looted during the rioting. The American Press made it look like just the one CVS pharmacy was looted.

Commenter Miguel at the source article had this to say:

Things that I trust more than NAACP race baiters:
1. Mexican tap water
2. A rattlesnake with a “pet me” sign
3. OJ Simpson showing me his knife collection
4. Hilary Clinton not standing by her man like Tammy Wynette
5. Obama’s investigation into the IRS Targeting Scandal
6. MeCHA, La Raza, and LULAC’s claim they’re not racists
7. Michael Jackson’s Doctor
8. An Obama Nuclear deal with Iran
9. Bill Clinton’s claim he never had inappropriate relationships
10. Gas station Sushi
11. A Jimmy Carter economic plan
12. MSNBC’s news reports
13. Prayers for peace from Al Sharpton
14. Hilary Clinton’s investigation into Bengazi
15. A business proposition from the Nigerian Minister of Finance
16. A Jeffery Dahmer dinner invitation
17. Rachel Dolezal’s claim, ex-NAACP leader, that she’s African American

Post of the day, IMHO

As I’ve said before, take the EBT Cards away from anyone convicted of rioting/looting. For LIFE!

What better way to commemorate the death of a lawbreaker than looting and stealing?

Well, you're either going to pay for their EBT, or for their "Three Hots and a Cot."

Sarge - you're insightful - any guesses on what the 'next thing' might be?

Tensions flared

Looks to me like "black" people rioted. "Tensions"??? WTF does that even mean?

Leftists in Big media lie and distort all the time, about everything. In this case, they're obfuscating the personal, individual responsibility of each of the various rioters for the violence they commit when rioting.
