Ferguson, Missouri (KMOV.com) – What started as a peaceful prayer vigil Saturday evening to remember a young man gunned down by police, has escalated into full scale riots and looting in Ferguson, Missouri.

Angry mobs have smashed windows, set fires and looted businesses as a massive showing of police, some wearing riot gear have moved into the area along West Florissant just south of 270.

Police are also responding to reports of shootings throughout the area. At one point, windows of a News 4 live truck were smashed out by the angry crowd.

They are looting every store that is at I-270 & West Florissant Rd. They are looting the Hibbett Sporting Goods Store now. Kmart, Office Depot, Walmart, Sam’s Club etc are all in this area and have been looted.

Agreed! Of course, state-run media has an interest in keeping such things quiet...it reflects badly on their best buddy, the man who was supposed to end all divisions, lower the sea level, heal the planet and give everyone everything they want! /s;)

Family of Michael Brown Retains National Civil Rights Attorney, Benjamin Crump, in MO Shooting Death.

Does Trayvon's family lawyer have a license to practice in Missouri?

Go figure. Shoot a kid in the back in the middle of the hot summer, and the King’s Men thought their pathetic excuses would wash?

Food for thought: Rioting, looting, now all that needs to be done is introduce ebola or some other massively infectious disease.

For all of those people who still think that America is a democracy...this is a perfect example of it.

Now you know why the Founding Fathers hated democracy.
