Protesters reportedly planning to shut down Missouri city after Brown decision (Clayton)

Protesters in Missouri are reportedly planning to shut down Clayton following a grand jury decision on whether a suburban St. Louis officer who shot unarmed teen Michael Brown should face charges.

The protesters want to financially hurt Clayton, a city of roughly 15,000 residents that borders St. Louis, where organizers met late Thursday to hopefully attract hundreds if not thousands of people to show up on the first workday after the grand jury reaches a decision, KTVI reports.

The protesters will meet in public spaces and may spread out in small groups, possibly to take part in civil disobedience like shutting down roads.

“We want people to know these meeting are about non-violence direct action,” said Michael McPherson, co-chair of the Don’t Shoot Coalition. “Some of it will be people talking to people, expressing themselves. There’s nothing we’re doing to try to create violence. We don’t want to diminish tension without there being change.”(continued)

Looks like the original plan was to disrupt ongoing trials at the courthouse but that carries a steeper criminal sentence than disrupting traffic. My question is if the traffic is being disrupted to bring the County seat to a standstill in order to disrupt trials, shouldn’t the steeper sentence be in play?

You're suggesting that the entire St Louis metro area stop keeping an inventory of items looted in Ferguson?

That's giving a little too much power to the thugs in Ferguson and not to mention strangling the economy.

In a sense, it would be starving the beast. If the number of prime looting sites dissipates in the area around Ferguson, the effect of any large scale rioting will be limited.

If they decide they want to move on St. Louis, shoot them.

All they'd have to do is close down all the Mickey Ds and Burger Kings in town and the clowns would leave.

Sheeet!

Can't have no riot without a FF pit to tear up.

This is a media report of the Detroit beating of motorist Steve Utash. Everyone in that area needs to print it out and put it in their glove compartment for any police report files after defending yourself.

What did Clayton do?

It's the county seat of St. Louis County and has about half a dozen corporate headquarters in it. Good for headlines.

Wash U is in Clayton? If activist faculty or students are spearheading this, that might explain why Clayton was targeted.

Clayton is the government center for St. Louis County. It is where the grand jury is convened and where they will announce their decision.

Thugs finally figured out they can use cars, and their enemy tribe is just a short drive up the freeway.

Or do they just have nicer “stuff” in their stores?

I'll take "nicer stuff" for $500, Judy!

Have you noticed old fat Al walking out of the white house I think he is working for the criminals in the white house.

Al is the white House-MSNBC liaison.

The new Kent State, maybe.

Clayton is the County seat, so the purpose of shutting down the County seat would be to shut down the government, which ironically enough, is the same the the Republicans get yelled at for...

“I’m so sick of this crap.”

Me too-— but there may be one good thing about it.

My ultra lib daughter is also getting sick of this.

Maybe we’ll get some converts. :-)

This is the deliberate and announced targeting of a white community, it is time for the feds to move in.

It is there. The Galleria is near there too. Lots of shopping areas, all kinds of commerce. I’m guessing they want to loot some of those places, since they’ve already destroyed Ferguson.
