A video just surfaced this morning from the St. Louis Justice Center where a prison riot has kicked off.
As the STL Today reported inmates at the City Justice Center downtown appeared to set a fire smashing out windows and throwing debris to the ground below.
A group of inmates were seen gathered at the shattered windows of an upper floor of the jail about 6:30 a.m. They broke adjacent windows and threw chairs and other debris to the sidewalk below on Tucker Boulevard.
Flames could be seen just inside the windows and items appeared to have been set on fire before being thrown to the sidewalk below. Firefighters and emergency vehicles were at the scene shortly before 7 a.m. Dozens of people gathered to watch from the other side of Tucker and at least one live video of the disturbance was posted to Facebook.
Jacob Long, spokesman for Mayor Lyda Krewson, said in email that the mayor and Public Safety Director Jimmie Edwards were at the scene of the “very dangerous disturbance.”

Lock them in their cells, turn off the lights, come back a year or two later.

Likely any deaths will be from Covid19.

I feel bad for the prison guards who are probably caught up in this.

From a year of videos, one repeating sound that is sticking hard in my mind: The cackles of black women while black mayhem is happening.

Is this an insurrection or just a riot?

Absolutely! Putting people in jail is white privilege.
