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.

That’s interesting. All I heard all day long was that most were from the St. Louis Metropolitan area. That includes East St. Louis Illinois St. Louis City and St. Louis County, but no one ever said how many were from Ferguson - a city of about 20,000 people.
St. Louis County has around 90 incorporated municipalities such as Ferguson and around 10 unincorporated areas. The population of the city is approximately 318 thousand and the county is 2 million, 905 thousand. While it’s a sprawling area, the transportation system is such that you can quickly get from one to another except at rush hour.
The info I posted came from Fox News local broadcast. They asked the question how many were from Ferguson in their setup, but even then, they did not state the number from Ferguson.
If you compare the numbers of looters, to the population of Ferguson, the majority of people did not participate. The percentage is dwarfed if you consider the population of the rest of the Metro Area.
They keep talking about the small community of Ferguson. Well, it’s not just a small community, it’s a large Metro area - the largest one in Missouri and in the top 20 nationwide, IIRC.
Do you recall the source of the numbers you stated? It sounds like they grouped the city and county together. Around 20 were arrested in the city and 60 from the county.
I am appalled that the County Executive, County Police Chief, and Governor simply stood back and let criminals loot and destroy that area.
Agree ... not certain about some of the info movements regarding as am watching. Has been a jump to Florida for no apparent reason into a subdivision location (home). Advertising ‘Live’ and may not be completely live ... Under scrutiny is good. How is that overhead shot being done if is not a friendly? Looks to be a camera view from helicopter. Is this a hacker and ‘Live’?
From the Live Feed:
NYC-Crowd pushing past a short police line, that is apparently supposed to turn them.
Got it, thanks.
I will continue to keep your family in my prayers as well. Do they have any prospects to move permanently? It sounds like downtown will be a burned out shell for a long time to come unfortunately.
Dunno. Could be a drone or a helo from a news source.
He does seem to jump around to other areas.
Any word on Dallas and Atlanta?
No prob. :-)

Police in the street. Helicopter flying overhead. Protesters yelling **** the police.
Have not been monitoring those two tonight. A don’t know, regrettably.
America is being Benghazi’d right before our eyes!
Obola, Holder, Sharpton and Jackson should be in prison for life!
Your point
Have y'all seen the fustercluck on the streets of NYC ?
Gotta be thousands of effete, melanin-challenged, naivete-enhanced pukes bringing traffic to a total standstill .. and NYC that's sayin' somethin'.
MMD, thanks much for your thoughts.
If they had no plans for getting out prior to this week, I'm guessing that perspective has changed somewhat by now.
Having said that however, I'm still of the opinion that water cannon and live ammo needs to be deployed and used asap for people in the affected areas to have any chance of a return to what passes for normalcy sometime before Christmas.
Ferguson and the whole country are being Beghazi’d
This is sick!
Crowd overturning cars in front of city hall. 4 small fires started.
Political suicide.
If I’m running a business, I’m closing every store in those neighborhoods. If I’m supplying those businesses, that stops tomorrow.
‘eff ‘em.
Car burning and all hell breaking loose again live on fox
Live Feed- Police car on Fire.
I just saw a fightin YT in NYC hollering at one of the race baiters for promoting the narrative
