"If "not from the area" means "people who live less than 5 miles away" then sure." The area isn't too far from the Metrolink route, so thugs could easily be showing up from as far away as Illinois.

This is not in St. Louis. Ferguson is 20 miles out, more or less.Ferguson is about 11 miles from the Arch.
It is less than 2 miles from the St. Louis city limits.

Yes. I am talking about the city.
The children of those 540,000 missing citizens of 1950s St. Louis now populate the St. Louis "metro area."

"It is less than 2 miles from the St. Louis city limits. " Are you counting the airport? I live in St. Charles so my memory could be hazy.

"As far away as East St. Louis?" I wasn't going to name any names.

I doubt it was organized any more than most riots. The reason it happened is because black people riot and loot at the drop of a hat. Unless nobody drops a hat, in which case they riot and loot.
This isn't all black people, but all the rioting looters are almost always black. Go figure.
Then go armed.

Sat next to Col. West on a flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Cincinnati. He was going to make a speech at Miami University. We had a wide ranging conversation through the whole flight.
I knew of him before - but after that opportunity, I’d follow him anywhere. Few men have that kind of poise, character and clarity of thought.
I know some truly great people. He ranks up there with the best.
He deserves a top level role in setting the direction for our country.

The airport is technically part of St. Louis, you're right.
But no, I was thinking Jennings couldn't be more than 2 miles across, and it's right next to Ferguson and also right on the St. Louis border.

Obama youts, would look just like his son if he had one.

What makes me think that it was organized was that the looters arrested were all from out of town.
That makes me think that someone called them up and said “flash mob looting at ferguson tonight”.

Honestly, they’ve been empowered for the last 30 years. They can do as they please. They can gather in groups and beat people dead with impunity. Hell, the press won’t even mention what color they are. The poor dears...

I heard a report on the area in question early this morning. Evidently the community is pretty tight. Blacks there don’t want problems with their neighbors. The Whites and Blacks there seem to get along. It’s about 65% Black and 30% White. Hey, if that’s the straight scoop, I’m not going to knock it.

Don’t forget, the family of the killed youth demanded folks stop looting and destroying the neighborhood. That should tell you quite a bit right there.
