Protestors blocking I-70 bridge in downtown STL, right now. Ferguson Mayor's Presser just ended.
No doubt that events will "Heat up" again tonight.

west is a leader period.
he is not a balkanization pusher.
I read that as signal to his kindred blacks to riot nationwide.
Does anyone have the link to the online scanner? I don’t want to surf through thousands of posts.
Not really a big deal. Even the thugs are afraid to out at night in East St. Louis.
Oh, poooooooooor victims of circumstance! those bliiiiiiind whities giving you such grief!
Who is going to paint "Honky Lips" on the cars now?
LOL
3700+ listening in right now
That’s what I was thinking. What’s left standing in E St Louis to burn down?
Thankyou!!!
4500 on the counter now...
I beat catfish by 1 min!
He never ran into B/2/24th Regiment of Foot.
Just a note that the people in charge are not the Mayor of Ferguson, nor the police chief of Ferguson. Their authority was replaced by the county and the state.
In 1877, the City of St. Louis and the County of St. Louis split into separate political entities. The County property within the City limits was transferred to the City.
St. Louis City and St. Louis County are essentially two separate adjacent cities in adjacent counties. The County Executive (serves same purpose as a Mayor) stated in his early AM press conference that he said to “just let them go guys - treat it like a sporting event" or words to that effect.
The 62 arrests that were made came from St. Louis city, St. Louis County, Chicago, Illinois. Exactly how many were from Ferguson has yet to be reported. As Rudy Gulliani said, these are criminal arsonists - he and the media know very well who these groups are.
Having alerted the National Guard, and knowing the announcement was going to be made after dark, a curfew should have been in place, and the guard in place, if the Governor and Commissioner wanted to protect this area.
Even today in Nixon's press conference he stated that the answer was not to shut down the city of Ferguson. He waited for hours while fires burned before sending in additional National Guard. The commissioner sent an equally stupid message today about hoping for calm and peaceful protest.
Meanwhile East St. Louis has imposed a curfew even though there have been no reports of violence.
One of the stupidest things that was said today, was some black chick saying we didn't have any riots in St. Louis during the 60s so this is our civil rights war/riot.
I am beyond frustrated with the stupidity of the Governor, County Executive, Race Baiters, and LSM. The Governor and County Executive's plans were obviously inadequate. And their “hoping for a better night” is not a plan - spit.
Reporting over here tonight, thanks for the thread, Tcrlaf!
I am looking at STL, Cleveland and NYC right now.
Ferguson heating up, activity at Union Square in Noo Yawk, Cleveland is also reporting as well, but the weather there is getting the best of them...
#Obama considers trip to #Ferguson once things calm down
Yes, St. Louis City, St. Louis County at large, Illinois, Chicago to name a few. Still waiting for local news to tell us how many actually lived in Ferguson.

Great film!
If these Ferguson protesters could sing half as well as Shaka Zulu’s men, it would make for some great TV.
