The mayor of Ferguson, Missouri, says many of the people who smashed, looted, burned and destroyed in the aftermath of protests following a fatal police shooting of a teenager were out-of-towners.

“Once the vigil dispersed, the people who showed up saw their numbers and got really brave, then people started driving in from other areas to steal stuff,” Mayor James Knowles told WND.

“A lot of the people aren’t even from our town; but they came in and stole from our businesses and left our town in ruins, and made it look like there are racial tensions here that simply aren’t what they made them out to be. Such a shame that we have people with an axe to grind, coming here to grind it,” he said.

His comments came as the town approached its second night since the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, 18, whose death remained under investigation.

I find this whole situation is better when I think they are Shakespearian actors with accents like Sideshow Bob.

"To loot or not to loot that is the question!" he says as he breaks open the cash register "Whether it tis nobler of the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of whitey or to take up loot in our arms causing troubles...."

"Be all my sins remembered!"

"Dude, you skipped too many lines there!"

Yep, agitators aren’t much different from looters.
