Ferguson, Missouri (KMOV.com) – What started as a peaceful prayer vigil Saturday evening to remember a young man gunned down by police, has escalated into full scale riots and looting in Ferguson, Missouri.
Angry mobs have smashed windows, set fires and looted businesses as a massive showing of police, some wearing riot gear have moved into the area along West Florissant just south of 270.
Police are also responding to reports of shootings throughout the area. At one point, windows of a News 4 live truck were smashed out by the angry crowd.

It seems like when one of these “incidents” happen, the country erupts like the Middle East.
It’s like they just wait for something, anything to give them carte blanche to do what they wish they could do all the time.
When race-related violence happens at state fairs, it seems like we have lost our innocence.
Agreed and says someone wants bloodshed also. The retweets make it plural ... that many someone(s) want bloodshed. My suspects for some of the retweets are media people.
They seemed so organized and pumped up. This is a blight as bad as lynchings, but they think of it as payback. They take “justice” in their own hands and demand revenge no matter what the slight or whim. Or maybe it is just a gleeful activity. I don’t know but it is barbaric.
And they seem to work as one mind, no matter where it is in the country. We are Balkanized by race and they have immunity from the race hustlers, the media, the apologist mouthpieces on the internet, and mostly from each other who fall in line and behave like it is a personal vendetta and all of us deserve the beatdown.
No mention of ‘work or working’ as being an activity under “Activities”. Guess he forgot to list himself as a ‘student’.
I would not repair or rebuild anything. Get the insurance money and move on.
Btt
Doesn’t appear to have a magazine in it.
Reminds me of the old paratrooper’s line after St. Lo, France got itself totally leveled 4 weeks after D-Day: “Yes Sir-—we liberated the hell out of this place.” But these useless punks can’t carry water for those paratroopers.
That is one good reason to own a .44 Magnum.
Thank-you for this testimony for QT. Good businesses are made up of good people. That hand-written sign was both poignant and irritating. Someone had thought of future consequences but it was too late.
That's what you think.
One time, just for revenge on a broken cold-water valve under my sink, I took my credit card to Home Depot and came home with a new cold-water valve AND brand new chop saw ... because I wanted one. Did I need a new chop saw? No. Did it make me feel better? Hell yeah.
And I'd do it again.
LOL!
You might note how people here want to ignore all the witness accounts of the killing, and immediate silence of the cops. This killing stinks of CYA.
I can’t condone a riot, but i easily understand the anger.
Oh please, they're not angry...They are more like "WOOO HOOO......FREE SHIT!" Probably don't even know the name of the thug who was killed.
