About 300 people marched from a park to the courthouse during the lunch hour Tuesday and remained there for about 30 minutes before heading elsewhere. Organizers gave tips beforehand to anyone who was planning to be intentionally arrested.

LOL!!!

They did make an effort to use iambic pentameter.

I would have preferred haiku.

I would think walking through the people ‘resting’ on the Court House steps and saying “You have 10 minutes to vacate”, then pull up a couple of buses with SWAT team descending and ‘Coroner Vehicle’ on the side of the bus would give the more intelligent ones cause to ‘think’.

Of course it helps when the DA, Gov, pRes, DOJ etal DEMAND the Police show restraint because the ‘people’ have a right to be angry.

If I own a business do I have a right to be angry enough to take care of potential looters and arsonists and not have the police stop me? (I know the answer).....

Why would they storm a federal courthouse when this was a state court case? Publicity?

And why protest/attack in the City of St. Louis? the Grand Jury convened in the County (STL is unique in County and City are separate).

I remember very well barricades being set up at a Tea Party event near a federal courthouse.

The Tea Party respected the law...despite the federal government’s movement to destroy our liberty.

Guess the feds don’t expect the same respect from the Ferguson morons.

Heere's the news from Erie, PA:

Group at Perry Square protests decision in Ferguson shooting

Heather Garczynski, 44, at left, and Deonte Owens, 20, both of Erie, march and chant Nov. 25 in front of Erie City hall in downtown Erie. They and seven other local activists were protesting the decision by the grand jury in Ferguson, Mo. not to charge a Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson with the shooting death of an unarmed Michael Brown in August. Owens said he wore a mask because he is loosely affiliated with Anonymous, an international group of online and offline activists. CHRISTOPHER MILLETTE//ERIE TIMES-NEWS

NINE PEOPLE! Is this a revolution or what??

Can you imagine some hard working people getting tired of this and protest and start shutting down some EBT offices?
