FULL TITLE: Furious protesters torch and hang the US flag upside down in second night of St Louis protests over cop killing of black teen

Protesters have clashed with cops for a second night in St Louis, Missouri following the fatal shooting of black 18-year-old Vonderrit Myers Jr., who was gunned down by an off-duty police officer on Wednesday.

Demonstrators burned American flags, blacked intersections, banged drums and taunted police as they gathered in Shaw to protest the teenager's death at the hands of the unidentified cop - just moments after they had met for a quiet candle-lit vigil for Myers.

Police in riot gear lined up on a high street as protesters yelled abuse and profanities at the officers, who silently stood their ground - although some used pepper spray to force the crowd back. Police helicopters buzzed above the neighborhood.

Some protesters burned the American flag, while others banged on drums and shouted: 'This is what democracy looks like!' Others slammed the sides of police vans. Shop windows were shattered and broken glass littered the street.

>> The voices of reason in the African-American community are being drowned out by the demagogues

Which includes pretty much everything to the left of Conservatism.

There’s a difference between a peaceful protest and a mob. The Tea Party gets it. The Anti-Immigration groups get it. So do the HongKong students. St. Louis? Not so much.

over livefeed just now, possibility that some of the crowd is breaking away and headed to Shaw area.

You KNOW they are paid, when they show up with pre printed posters, etc. TShirts, etc.

Why doesn’t some aggressive, hungry reporter, follow up on that story? WHY? Follow the money. See where they are staying, which hotels, check out the license plates, go see who’s paying for them to eat - ya got’s ta eat, right?

Reporters are so lame! How easy of a story this would be.

Nope if you are watching the feed look at the protesters arms. They have a phone number to call for bail. Now who is financing that?

A lot of them (Liberians) are coming here - they must not know that this is a racist, violent, unjust country.

Is there a reason the Whaaambulance was not called for Malik?

Oh, wait - I forgot it doesn’t service commies or racists, much less a combination.

“Its only Friday. “

Aww come on how long has this crap been going on? Might as well be an Occupy Movement. Only difference is they don’t have a tent city. They just stand there and looks stupid, unlike the tent city people who sit there and look stupid.

If the blacks are going to protest every time a cop shoots a black criminal, they’ll be too tired to cash their welfare checks.

To the valid points made in post #20, it may be prudent to remember blacks score lowest on IQ tests, followed by Hispanics. We live in a cognitively demanding culture wherein blacks and Hispanics are frequently made aware of societies demands and of their inherited deficiencies causing them to fail to meet those demands.

Then they blame those with higher IQ, who are societies producers.

The parasitic welfare classes are more stupid than a tapeworm. Tapeworms do not either kill or severely injure their host.

There are plenty of society’s producers who don’t have a high IQ. A high IQ is not a requirement for digging a ditch or swinging a hammer.

I’ve had enough. If blacks think whites are so terrible, then let them have their own country They can be completely responsible for everything and create their own justice system. Yeah, right.

That’s why Liberia and Sierra Leone were created. So black folk could have their own free countries. But now they want to come back here. Did they ruin the free lands they were given in the early 1800s?

Funny how they don’t describe the dead guy as “unarmed” as they do with Michael Brown.

“If blacks think whites are so terrible, then let them have their own country.”

They do have their own cities - Detroit, Baltimore, Newark, Memphis,.

That is how the country of Liberia started after the civil war. I would be glad to contribute the price of airfare to any feral in that group, who will renounce their citizenship, and become a citizen of Liberia. BTW, they can have fun with that Obola thing while they assimilate.
