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.

RE Loot the White Neighborhoods:

And yet somehow, those are not terroristic threats...

You were there?

No, and neither were you. But people who were all seem to agree that he was unarmed.

Doesn’t mean he wasn’t a threat, especially if his homies ganged up on the cop.

This is the reason impeachment is off the table

Yes, and it's the reason bringing the deficit under control is off the table, and the reason meaningful welfare reform is off the table, and it's the reason EBT is exploding, and, and, and...

Look the terrified congressthings are not WRONG that nationwide riots and looting, and even racial killings, are going to happen when they finally confront the issues that are destroying the country.

What they're wrong about is that they can keep the peace indefinitely, even by running $1 trillion deficits as far as the eye can see. The fact that their time horizons now only extend to the day they can get out of town is the whole problem, in a nutshell.

Amazing how some want to jump to conclusion or trust this liberal media, and not even think about waiting for the truth to come out.

And an “unarmed” perp can still be a threat...if, as is indicated in other reports, the perp made a go for the officer’s weapon...Darwin has entered the bldg.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes...but seeing as how this whole thing has been allowed/encouraged to turn into a race issue, police abuse, etc., no real justice will be served here.

The officer involved may escape this with his life. But all indications point to an attempt to appease and mollify that faction of society completely unable or unwilling to accept the cold hard truth that their “gentle giant” was nothing more than a thug who got what he earned.

Not even bringing into consideration that Crump is now “on the case”...more race baiting BS...what you’re looking at is the current version of Trayvon.

BY Eli Rosenberg NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Sunday, August 10, 2014, 4:44 PM---

"As the unnamed cop exited his squad car, one of the men pushed him back inside, where there was a struggle over the officer’s weapon, Belmar said. At least one shot was fired in the car, hitting no one."

THIS JUST IN:
"...the Rev. Al Sharpton announced that he planned to visit the area at the request of Brown’s family to ensure a fair investigation."

Agreed! Of course, state-run media has an interest in keeping such things quiet..


On the other hand, the looters and rioters, even if their faces are covered, love all the media attention they can get. Al Sharpton, too.

Doesn’t take much to set the savages off. They revert to savagery at the littlest provocation.

More than likely and Nation wide.

and that is why Congress will not impeach the impostor. JMHO

To: BuckeyeTexan; All

These kids are the product of the ALL Black Church. Dont get me wrong, am not speaking of the wonderful Christian Black`s that have left the plantation, absolutely NOT~

The all black church teaches the kids to have no respect for life and that if it feels good do it basically.

That`s what they are absolutely saying when they vote Democrat, that`s the message they are sending to their children.

It starts with...oh just abort your child and then it`s really downhill from there

QT is a mid-west phenomenon. I stop there every chance I get north of Arkansas. The people speak english, are clean, smile, good products, neat shelves, and IMMACULATE bathrooms. One late night going from LRAFB to Ft. Leavenworth, I stopped at QT in south KCMO (Raymond maybe?). Anyways the night workers were out on the pumps spit-shining the pumps and using Brasso.

Anyone who raids and destroys a QT to me is an animal and deserves to be put down. Good store, good people, good prices IMHO.

“At least fifteen area police agencies have been called Ferguson.” Bwaaaa!

"Car 214 to Dispatch."

"Dispatch here. What do you need, Car 214."

"You're a Ferguson."
