A raucous crowd disrupted speakers, threatened violence and accused police of murder Tuesday night as the fallout from the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., reignited.
And anyone who disagreed with the mob needed a police escort to get out.
That was the scene of “democracy” as protesters apparently conceive it during a meeting of the St. Louis County Council in Clayton, Mo., as a meeting called to conduct local government descended into two hours of near chaos and mob rule, according to an account by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The mob was on hand, of course, to “protest” the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man shot to death during a scuffle with a police officer Aug. 9.
The case is in the hands of a grand jury – which now has until January to decide whether Officer Darren Wilson should face criminal charges. But the mob at Tuesday night’s meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.

Ferguson mob swarms town meeting: If cop gets off, ‘ya’ll better bring every army y’all got. Cause it’s going down’
A raucous crowd disrupted speakers, threatened violence and accused police of murder Tuesday night as the fallout from the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., reignited.
And anyone who disagreed with the mob needed a police escort to get out.
That was the scene of “democracy” as protesters apparently conceive it during a meeting of the St. Louis County Council in Clayton, Mo., as a meeting called to conduct local government descended into two hours of near chaos and mob rule, according to an account by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The mob was on hand, of course, to “protest” the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man shot to death during a scuffle with a police officer Aug. 9.
The case is in the hands of a grand jury – which now has until January to decide whether Officer Darren Wilson should face criminal charges. But the mob at Tuesday night’s meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.
(For hanging later, no doubt.)
And if the grand jury completes its term and decides Wilson was justified in shooting Brown the mob threatened violence. It matters nothing to them that Brown had marijuana in his system at the time of the scuffle, had just used physical force to rob a nearby convenience store of the kind of cigars used to roll marijuana “blunts,” and was said by at least one witness to have been charging Wilson at the time of the shooting.
One speaker made it clear.
And the mob was even clearer, chanting what will happen if the justice system doesn’t come to their preferred outcome: “If we don’t get it, shut it down.”
And what modern mob scene would be complete without some version of the “hey, hey, ho, ho” chant libs have been using since at least the 1960s to boil thought away into mindlessness? In this case, it was accusing the police who maintain order of being murderers.
Amid the chants, one speaker even compared St. Luis County authorities to terrorists rampaging in the Middle East, beheading innocents, murdering Christians and selling women captives into sexual slavery, the Post Dispatch reported.
“You are ISIS to black people,” he said.
(Here’s a hint that’s wrong. If you’re allowed to stand up and insult the guys on the dais, you’re not dealing with murderous Islamic terrorists.)
And there was more. The mob even threatened to disrupt sports events like St. Louis Rams games and St. Louis Cardinals games as part of their “demonstration.”
Throw in some Nike shoes and they will start shooting each other.
I would turn him loose just for that. If that is the way the sons of bitches are going to be, If I were there, I would be glad to defend him. Hell with them. The bad thing for him is that the whites there are too big of cowards to stand up to them.
That would be a terrorist threat if it was made by a white guy.
But that is exactly what democracy is. That is why the founders envisioned a Republic.

It’s a French style revolution. Next come the guillotines.
Hello,
Good. Clayton would be one of the last places that this would get out of hand...for a lot of reasons. Again, he just needs to have a plan in case. But know knowing where he is makes me feel better about his safety.

This thing was over the minute the video showing the perp to be a standard issue thug came out.
The racial justice crowd needs to find a better victim — that is, a real victim. If they ever do, they will be surprised to find conservatives standing right along with them.
But this is the wrong hill for them to die on, because this situation is an absolute joke for their side as the facts currently stand.
“Isn’t the Department of Injustice down there now?”
It doesn’t matter. Ferguson is no longer on the front page. That pisses off the people in Ferguson and makes the Prima Donna heading the DOJ look for the current opening act wherever that is.
Maybe the Gore Effect will kick on those dates!
The facts don’t matter, that’s the point. What matters is not what was done but who did it and to whom.
The racial justice crowd will indeed find better victims — easy targets. Hence the #knockOUTgame.
Joe Bastardi is way ahead of those said weather pundits. He’s even predicting that some places in the Deep South will get between 133%-167% above average amounts of snow this winter.
“He is able to handle himself well and it is all in Gods hands anyway.”
I have always been taught that God helps those who help themselves. In this instance, HE probably hopes your son stays out of the line of fire.
Hope you are prepared for the worst!
They will burn down their own town. If they really thought the white man is holding them down, they should into the rich white areas of St Louis.
Of course they would be met with resistance.

I support the lcal and state police in using whatever force is necessary to protect property and lives in Ferguson.
If that means 500 rioters have to die on the first day, that's OK with me.
Hello,
Where I live and work are (in St. Louis Co terms) pretty far away from where I would expect problems. This in no way means that I do not think about it and work to have a plan to deal with it, should it hit in my area. My biggest concern is with work, not home. Still thinking that one through....
I’d say all this right there is reason enough NOT to bring ANY charges, real or fabricated, against Officer Wilson
No fair trial, no welfare
The only descriptive I find suitable for these people is “pathetic”.
.
I have.
