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.

Same MO used in the deification of Saint Trayvon.

So Anonymous needs attention once again. Naive White kids pretending to be "down for da struggle" Nothing new, reminds me of this classic Joan Baez parody

I didn’t even have to read beyond the first paragraph of the article to know that this had to be a suburban Tea Party gathering as their “peaceful” prayer vigils almost always turn into unchecked riots, looting, and gunfire.

IIRC, QT started in the Southeastern United States, not the midwest. But either way, I agree with you that QT is a well run operation. Next to Chick-Fil-A, it is one of my favorite businesses. About 10 years ago, I tried to buy some of their stock and was disappointed to discover they are a privately held corporation. I wish they’d open some out here in the Pacific Northwest.

The brutal truth is these rioters are black feral bastards looking for any excuse to destroy and steal property. With no fathers to reign them in, they use social media to plan their assaults and other crimes.

I look for it to get worse with Obama siding with these criminals.

Wonder where this ones proof is of the Police Chief saying this?

[BuckeyeTexan]

Others claim the riots started because the police showed up in force and in riot gear at a candlelight vigil for Mike Brown.

Doesn’t matter. Looting is not the answer.

Well if Ricki Gee said it, it must be true.

"Folks" are retweeting the rumor. FWIW.
