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.

‘Mister’ Gee could be a Holder worker, not an average citizen. The regime needed a crisis to divert attention from the incompetence around the world, so bingo, any racial excuse will do, and then just hype it into the crisis you want it to be since the vermin media will follow their instructions completely.

hello?...LOOTING!?!

Why does the item taken lessen the crime?

This wasn’t shop lifting....it was mob violence otherwise known as riot...and this violence was turned against residents too...not just businesses...

Your post makes complete sense to anyone with common sense. Is sad that common sense isn’t so common anymore.

” however the looting probably lets people believe they are taking action”


If I were looting, it would let me believe that I was - looting. Maybe I’m just a little harder to fool than some.

” “Nothing runs like a Deere” “Nothing lies
like a cop””

People here aren’t getting that truth. All we have is the cop’s word on what happened. And I can cite several instances where a cop’s claim of events was BS, most recently the guy holding a knife.

Cops did this to themselves. They have zero creadability, and so does their investigations. Always remember, the review of the Dorner hunt shootings decided no one did anything wrong.

I get it. The officer’s version of events does not even remotely match an alleged witness’ version. Someone is lying.

How it these people can afford to always have a matching outfit? I work for a living and my outfit does not always match.

” so wait for the
investigation because people jumping to
conclusions or using their hatred to law
enforcement is what causes all this shit.”

Only a fool has any confidence in these investigations. Again and again, white washes are what we get. Dorner hunt, the kid killed holding a wii...

The lack of meaningful and trustworthy policing of cops is a BIG cause of this.

Have a good friend who’s great uncle was a T-agent in the 1920s. When he died his not insubstantal firearms collection was parcelled out to family members.

My friend laid claim (sight unseen) to the .38 revolver that he presumed was the guy’s service weapon. What showed up was (politely) a Frankengun of different parts with all serials and other identiting marks filed off.

My friend still hasn’t told the rest of the family that his much loved and respected uncle had a drop gun.

People “here” may be getting that truth. But what others don’t seem to get is that looting is not an appropriate response to the situation.

Looting is not an appropriate response. Period.

Whatever cops did or did not do to themselves, looting and damaging property are not appropriate responses. Period.

Looting and damaging property are crimes. Not justice.

Is he black, or does his outfit just match?

yea because yet again robbing stores sure does justify not trusting the police. Have a word with yourself. We have shots fired, looting, burning, rioting and you want to excuse it because of your distrust of the police.
