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.

I could never understand the rioting of the city that you live in. You have to still live their without all these stores.....Couldn’t they do the town next door at least so they don’t suffer the after effects...../sarc

LOL! Oh yes, we can always trust the “do not snitch” witnesses can’t we?

when white people riot, they gather at the nearest Starbucks and take a penny out of the “give a penny, take a penny” dish while the clerk is making their drink, after waiting on line for 20 minutes.

Now back in the olden days it would be a WHITE riot against a BLACK neighborhood. Since the 1960s it has been BLACKS burning down their own neighborhoods.

Just when was the LAST WHITE lead race riot against Blacks?
1921 Tulsa?
1943 Detroit?
1956 Little Rock?

I don't remember one since then! They have all been Black lead riots.
Just curious.

I don’t recall white folks looting much when a cop kills a white person. Maybe I just have missed those riots.
As I have said many times, I do not trust LEOs at all. But, just because someone else does wrong, why would I?
The QT burning is blamed as revenge cuz they claim QT reported the thug for his activities. There was another business they targeted for the same reason. But, wrong is wrong and then encouraging the mobs to further violence is just more proof that this was not for justice; it was for their pleasure. And, because they know they will get away with it.

- “They” don’t get away with it with me - if there are six cashiers I pick the white senior citizen guy

- Let the “attitude” jerk’s lines run long and forever; same in restaurants; hiring? Don’t even ask. AG Eric Holder sez we must hire violent ex-cons or else.

- Put all employees on commission - on a day-to-day probationary status.

- “Sorry! No exceptions! Try Manpower.”

Frankly the rioting will just make the police state response and aftermath worse, IMO.

“See? All those heavy handed tactics we use are justified.”

Doesn’t make it the wrong response, just not the right one.

NOTHING good will come of any of this :(

The rioters are “honoring” a gentle giant by being as violent and destructive as they can.

Well said.

as for “...Life has taught me not to dick around in front of a police car....”

Chris Rock - “How not to get your ass kicked by the police!” It’s good.

Police said they would release name of the shooting police officer today....but now say they won't release because of fo many threats called into police headquarters.

This doesn't surprise me as this cop is a marked man for as long as he's a Fergusonite or a policeman...or as long as he breathes.

"Looks like this story will be used to take the focus off of Obama and his failures as a President, human being, etc..I tell ya what, Obama has to be the luckiest SOB Ive ever seen, every time things look bad for the schmuck something comes along to take the focus off of him"

It is the concerted effort of a myriad entities, private and public, propping him up until the endgame. Luck is not a factor.

Yawn... Just the latest episode of that wacky, wonderful reality show, “N-Words Gone Wild”.

- democrats needed to bump up their black voter percentage

- it wii

- but white voters are turned off bigtime now - weapons and ammo sales in that area are outta sight

- the oppressed small HDTV “possessors” need an upgrade - their smaller TV sets without 3D are dusty...

- how many businesses there will shut their doors now -

[ChiMark]

Idiot. The 6’4” goon wrestled to get the police officer’s gun. Too bad Lib.

Yeah, this is justification for burning up your neighborhood.

Hope they get section8 next to your home.
