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.

If things start to look really bad for Obama about Iraq they will start reporting on this..but maybe they might skip it especially since Holder’s people are too busy rioting, doesn’t make Holder’s people look really good

Woman went into labor and cops can’t get to her.

Most of these “YUTES” are obsolete and cannot function in today’s modern world. Some of them must have some rudimentary intelligence since from viewing the videos I see that they’ve learned about Molotov cocktails.

Nothing like keeping things in perspective!

Black race hatred in "street crime" 301 whites murdered by 24 black serial killers

Black males between 15 and 60, who make up 4 percent of the population, are responsible for 82 percent of all sexual homicides of elderly white women.

672 cases of whites attacked in the workplace, 581 murdered

Black men and white women, intimate partner homicide, 229 murders

.....So Much More

Chief Belmar said the incident started when Brown physically assaulted the police officer, pushing him into the officer’s vehicle. He said there was a struggle inside the car, and at some point Brown reached for the officer’s weapon. One shot was fired inside the vehicle.

Brown suffered fatal gunshot wounds outside of the vehicle, approximately 35 feet from the car. Belmar said multiple shell casings were found at the scene, and that Brown was shot more than once, but an exact number of shots fired has not yet been determined. All the shell casings came from the officer’s weapon.

Belmar confirmed Brown was unarmed at the time of the shooting. He did not say what led to the struggle inside the officer’s car.

To hell with the hand to hand stuff start stocking up on ammo now buy it cheap & stack it deep in the basement /back closet/under the bed. Get your weapons sights zeroed.

The fight is coming make no mistake about that get ready now while it is still easy to do.

Came from the reporter who was at the Walmart. Reporter says the shots came from a car driving by. Looks like police have looters cornered in the Office Depot (near the Walmart)

They are spread out in small looting groups.

No way! It was caused by that video. The government needs to find the director and imprison him.

This is a great example of those right wing extremist terrorists that the DHS warned us about—

It seems our great reporters have to wait for their talking points so they will know how to slant this; might take a bit since it is vacation time.
