More than 100 inmates took over a section of a Saint Louis jail, setting fires and throwing objects from broken windows.
Dozens of inmates escaped from their cells at the City Justice Center in downtown Saint Louis around 2 a.m. on Saturday morning, evading capture until their group rose to as many as 115 prisoners.
Officials described them as “extremely violent and noncompliant,” prompting authorities to use tear gas to regain control.

Democrat Normal.
But, the environment! COVID!
Is it BLM dudes? Then it is only a “peaceful protest.” The guards should join in with them and sing Kumbaya!
If they voted to do so then it must be okay. That’s the Democrat mantra these days.
And it sounds like they are behaving like Democrats in Congress.
send them to dc...
Leftist media will tell us its an entire building full of Trump supporters.
Don’t question the narrative......
And the Leftists took over the White House and Congress.
It’s the new normal, in Bidenspeak.
He’s rescued us. Did you realize that?
Send in the Social Worker Advice Team (SWAT) to speak gently with the inmates.
That might actually be an improvement to DC.
The St. Louis Baghdad Bob got on TV and said, no big deal, folks. Calm down.
That ammunition shortage that they keep talking about must be as bad as they say.
Do they even still put people in jail?
let them redecorate the capitol...
No need for social workers. Just let them go!
I'm not so sure. If they did they'd need to build a new prison just for those in D.C.
These criminals are harmless next to government criminals.
As to extralegal plunder, such as theft, or swindling, which is defined, foreseen, and punished by the penal code, I do not think it can be adorned by the name of socialism. It is not this that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Besides, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the signal of Mr. Montalem- bert or Mr. Carlier. It has gone on since the beginning of the world; France was carrying it on long before the rev- olution of February—long before the appearance of socialism—with all the ceremonies of magistracy, police, gendarmerie, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds. It is the law itself that is conducting this war, and it is to be wished, in my opinion, that the law should always main- tain this attitude with respect to plunder.
But this is not the case. The law sometimes takes its own part. Sometimes it accomplishes it with its own hands, in order to save the parties benefited the shame, the danger, and the scruple. Sometimes it places all this ceremony of magistracy, police, gendarmerie, and prisons, at the service of the plunderer, and treats the plundered party, when he defends himself, as the criminal.
“The Law” - Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850)
yes
but not the ones you’d want in jail
