Pretty serious to activate the National Guard...

Can only mean that at the local Bingo hall tonight, the jackpot is topping $100.

Does he know something we don’t ? This in effect gives the “protesters” far more “creds” than they deserve.

Not good rioting weather in Ferguson, Missouri. Light snow -mid 20s dropping into the teens tonight. -tom

Oh great, the protesters will now protest the weatherman for being racist and making it too cold for them to loot and riot.

Sounds like they wait until a minute before the courts close in order to make the announcement. Give the jurors time to make it home safely.

Nixon asked for a vigorous prosecution before the facts were out. So what’s up with this?

But they start a warm up on Wednesday into the 40s and by next week into the 50s. Not good!,

Guess they’ll have to start some fires to keep warm.

Even if the Governor is over-reacting, which I don’t, it makes sense to give the innocent citizens in and around Ferguson fair warning.

From other reports it sounds like the riots are aimed at other towns like Clayton.

Much more upscale stores to loot in Clayton.

Looks like he orders unified command to be controlled by St. Louis county police.

Someone look at this portion, though, and tell me if this is normal for a state of emergency or if it goes too far:

I further order that the Unified Command may exercise operational authority in such other jurisdictions it deems necessary to protect civil rights and ensure public safety and that other law enforcement agencies shall assist the Unified Command when so requested and shall cooperate with operational directives of the Unified Command.

Sounds to me like unified command can basically take over any town and their police department...
