A raucous crowd disrupted speakers, threatened violence and accused police of murder Tuesday night as the fallout from the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., reignited.
And anyone who disagreed with the mob needed a police escort to get out.
That was the scene of “democracy” as protesters apparently conceive it during a meeting of the St. Louis County Council in Clayton, Mo., as a meeting called to conduct local government descended into two hours of near chaos and mob rule, according to an account by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The mob was on hand, of course, to “protest” the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man shot to death during a scuffle with a police officer Aug. 9.
The case is in the hands of a grand jury – which now has until January to decide whether Officer Darren Wilson should face criminal charges. But the mob at Tuesday night’s meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.

Ferguson mob swarms town meeting: If cop gets off, ‘ya’ll better bring every army y’all got. Cause it’s going down’
A raucous crowd disrupted speakers, threatened violence and accused police of murder Tuesday night as the fallout from the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., reignited.
And anyone who disagreed with the mob needed a police escort to get out.
That was the scene of “democracy” as protesters apparently conceive it during a meeting of the St. Louis County Council in Clayton, Mo., as a meeting called to conduct local government descended into two hours of near chaos and mob rule, according to an account by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The mob was on hand, of course, to “protest” the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man shot to death during a scuffle with a police officer Aug. 9.
The case is in the hands of a grand jury – which now has until January to decide whether Officer Darren Wilson should face criminal charges. But the mob at Tuesday night’s meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.
(For hanging later, no doubt.)
And if the grand jury completes its term and decides Wilson was justified in shooting Brown the mob threatened violence. It matters nothing to them that Brown had marijuana in his system at the time of the scuffle, had just used physical force to rob a nearby convenience store of the kind of cigars used to roll marijuana “blunts,” and was said by at least one witness to have been charging Wilson at the time of the shooting.
One speaker made it clear.
And the mob was even clearer, chanting what will happen if the justice system doesn’t come to their preferred outcome: “If we don’t get it, shut it down.”
And what modern mob scene would be complete without some version of the “hey, hey, ho, ho” chant libs have been using since at least the 1960s to boil thought away into mindlessness? In this case, it was accusing the police who maintain order of being murderers.
Amid the chants, one speaker even compared St. Luis County authorities to terrorists rampaging in the Middle East, beheading innocents, murdering Christians and selling women captives into sexual slavery, the Post Dispatch reported.
“You are ISIS to black people,” he said.
(Here’s a hint that’s wrong. If you’re allowed to stand up and insult the guys on the dais, you’re not dealing with murderous Islamic terrorists.)
And there was more. The mob even threatened to disrupt sports events like St. Louis Rams games and St. Louis Cardinals games as part of their “demonstration.”
The barbarians have spoken.
Good! They will all stay indoors with their Ripple, blunts, and ladies.
Or is it Skittles and ice tea?
Yes, who do you think is organizing them?
Hot purple drank... their version of wassail.
The cop getting no billed by the grand jury is going to be the Democrat’s October surprise.
The prosecutor is a Dem (and a good friend of the Dem MO governor, apparently), and there’s a lot of speculation out there in the Liberal press that he’s throwing the indictment.
I’m not saying that the cop doesn’t deserve to walk free, and the evidence I’ve seen says that the shots he took were well-justified. But a prosecutor *can* indict a ham sandwich, right? If the Dems want the cop indicted, he WILL be indicted, just like Zimmerman was.
So the prosecutor “throws” the case, the grand jury fails to indict and there are mass protests/inner city voter registration drives nationwide. We’ll see ads like those NAACPs ones from prior elections saying that not voting is to allow blacks churches to burn, blacks to be dragged behind pickup trucks, white cops to shoot down black kids in cold blood.
Blacks, who are expected to sit home this year, will be incited (particularly if there are major overreactions by urban police forces to the protests and any associated violence) and turn out in much higher numbers than expected, throwing close Senatorial elections to the Dems ...
My kid lives 10-15 min from there, currently going to grad school. Some people have relatives in harms way. Think about what you say. I don’t mind if they soil their own nest, but dont want any innocents caught up in the rioting.
Of course not. They don’t want justice, they want a lynching.
Who is FUNDING these paid agitators? THAT should be our FIRST and ONLY question.
Follow the money. Look to the pockets of 0bama, Sharpton or Jackson!
Maybe not quite organizing them but certainly egging them on... “OH YOU POOOOOR DEEEEARS.”
I’ve also been waiting to see the bruised eye sockets and the battered skull of the officer. If it exists, they need to show the public to slowly take the riotous winds out of their sails. This is what happened to a great degree with
the George Zimmerman case. When the public saw those bloody wounds, much of their case against him was lost.
My guess is during the Christmas season, maybe when Michael Jordan releases yet another pair of $700. gym shoes, and most of Obama’s Sons’ are busy standing in line for their (newly stolen) shoes, that’s when the court will drop all charges against this Officer. If this Officer gets the case dismissed, I fully expect him to be smarter than poor Brother Zim, who is still a very lost and angry man.
Their guy is in 1600
Some of them think they own it all now
That they have every right to take whatever they want
Hurt whoever they want
How dare anyone stand up to them
Hardcore conservatives would tell you to get him out of there even if it screws up his schooling... I dunno. But prudence would be the name of the game for everyone else.
That’s a nice idea, but remember who is running the Federal government right now. The media will continue to side with the mob as well.
And, being the cowards they are, the mob’s fury will be taken out mostly on innocents who happen to be the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time — and be elderly, pregnant, children. #knockOUTgame
Just as it was with Gaza, it will not be considered a ‘crisis’ until the victims start fighting back. Watch for the government to push for gun confiscation as too many violent thugs are killed by their intended victims.
That is at the root of the outrage in this case and in the case of Trayvon.
I mean, I’m sorry for the people there and the businesses, but perhaps its time to call a gutter a gutter and get out....I wouldn’t let my kids out among that group....
Why not hot chocolate? Is that too racist?
Too tame, no drug
Tell him to really watch himself off campus and be ready to head home or at least away from there if the agitators set off an even larger riot. He has no dog in this hunt, so no need to get caught up in it and be potential collateral damage.
Another Shahid job. Anthony, who was on the scene of the shooting within minutes, and invented and co-ordinated the whole “hands up” bit has lead or been actively involved in almost all the protests.
He is in his first year of seminary. He is able to handle himself well and it is all in Gods hands anyway. I just wish people around here would stop and think before they spout off...
