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.

It’s getting bigger. Thugs are watching TV and wanting to join in the fun.

Btw, what’s that guy going to do with ONE CAR RIM? Make a necklace?

A large group of armed white people could end this pretty quickly.

That said, the people that NEED to be stopping this, are sitting at home watching it on TV.

Agreed. Take your settlement and don’t repeat the error of building in an unsafe environment.

Eyewitness, Piaget Crenshaw, 19, was waiting for a ride to work when she said she saw the police officer attempting to place Brown in the rear seat of a squad car.

She then observed the teen, hands in the air, attempt to flee. Several shots were fired at Brown as he ran, Crenshaw said, striking him in the head and chest.

Crenshaw said police asked and she complied with a request that she turn photos of the scene over to authorities.

Dorian Johnson said he was walking with Brown in the middle of the street when a police car pulled up. The officer told the teens to use the sidewalk, according to Johnson.

After an exchange of words, the officer shot Brown even after he raised his hands in the air, Johnson said.

The officer “shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air,” Johnson told KMOV. “He started to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots.”

This is just the first night.

Once all the thugs see all the loot people got away with, they’ll be out at it again.

LOL... I saw one with a huge rim - had to be for a very large truck (like BigFoot). The stuff will be impossible to sell or pawn.

Stunning how brazen they are....not to mention how many of them have their pants down over their butts! These are the bottom feeders.

Here’s the Reddit thread.

Said there were several people in masks outside the station 22 minutes ago.

And just for the record: “There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.”
