The Communist Party USA was actively working to organize folks for this city wide "shut down" regardless of the verdict. There are also reports of people in trucks going around shooting and throwing fire bombs.
They were very well prepared for tonight.
Yes this is true. For the last several days the local news stations in St. Louis have been reporting the presence of the Communists, Black Panthers, Occupy, KKK, and I have seen quite a few SEIU thugs in the pictures that the news media here has shown.
Early this evening the local news reporters pointed out that so far, most of the arrests/troublemakers have been people outside of Ferguson.
Many of those businesses that are burning are owned by blacks. This is straight out of the communist play book and we have seen it before - in the 60s. Their big dream is to instigate a race war in the USA.
Governor Nixon declared an emergency and the guard was deployed, but tonight they have been missing in action - nowhere to be seen. Just a few minutes ago, he issued a notice for more national guard troops. Talk about leading from behind!
He also gave a big speech saying violence and looting would not be tolerated. My opinion is that a curfew should have been declared to take place shortly after the verdict was announced. And why make a big gesture to activate the guard, and not have then anywhere to be seen.
I am watching a car lot burn and cars exploding right now. We will be getting a police press conference shortly.
