DailyMail ^ | 17 August 2014 | David Mccormack for MailOnline

Another night of protests and violence erupted in Ferguson, Missouri, on Sunday evening as tensions remain high following the death of unarmed teenager Michael Brown at the hands of the police on August 9.

The violence began to flare again around 9 p.m. local time as police in riot fear fired teargas on hundreds of protestors - including children - for encroaching on their command post. Authorities also used rubber bullets and several protesters have reported getting hit.

Many of the marchers retreated, but a group of about 100 stood defiantly about two blocks away until getting hit by another volley of tear gas.

The autopsy shows:

1. Brown was NOT shot in the back.

2. The arm wounds were all front entry - he did NOT have his arms up.

So I guess it’s time to riot.

Thug with a sealed juvenile record, wannabe gangsta rapper, robs store, stopped by police and punches cop, then bum rushes cop and is killed.

This is Zimmerman/Martin round 2.

Did the rubber bullets look like this?

Like the Huff Post writer thought were shot last night.

Stupid Huff Post writer mistakes earplugs for rubber bullets

The pesky facts will be ignored because community organizers require emotion not logic to achieve their end game.

So none of those old surplus flame throwers and napalm bombs got down to the local police departments? Thermite grenades? White phosphorous? Gatling guns?

There are FORTY FBI agents investigating this right now. FORTY.

How many are on the ISIS photo in front of the White House?

So, if I head off to WalMart and try to walk out with a 3D flat screen, “in the name of Michael Brown”, it’s probably not going to end well for me.

I imagine the executives of McDonalds will not be rebuilding in that area. No point and the area looks like it’s in a better off area; this means that rioters will be likely moving into more affluent places of business.

Chances are the agents are in fact determined to get some of this craziness under control. This is becoming up to seven days of nonstop rioting. If this lasts longer, the rioters will become bolder.

I do not know.

I just wonder, how much more until it starts becoming more invasive of affluent surrounding areas.

Either way, they’re making up for the fact that they couldn’t credibly riot over Trayvon.
