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.

I suppose his street address, family names and dogs/pets go with that?

Isn’t post-christian America grand!

Blacks are the most Christian of all races

Followed by Hispanics, then Whites and then Asians.

I see a trend there

Black churches seem to preach the gospel of Karl Marx more than the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I can’t condone a riot, but i easily understand the anger.


The looters don’t look angry to me.

I would not repair or rebuild anything. Get the insurance money and move on.


If this was in the ghetto,,,sure. But this is in the burbs.

The police have been abusing a lot of people lately, killing dogs, beating tea-party protestors, militarizing, killing kids in no-knock raids.


The copsuckers in here don’t want to hear that.

Well, actually Higginsville is NORTH of 71 Highway and 13 Highway and is no where near KCMO.

Perhaps you are thinking of HARRISONVILLE, which is way SOUTH of RAYTOWN.

Raytown is near 435 and 350 (also called 50) Highway

Raytown is surrounded by Independence, Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit, Grandview and KCMO.

This story just gets worse by the minute.
I mean, it would be nice if the decent people of the world could unite to deal with the tyranny that flows from the top and leads to cops killing innocent people walking down the street.
These animals are hurting their own case by acting like this. They care much more about any given pretext to steal and burglarize than they do about the injustice that got it kicked off.
Makes me wonder how many out there even know why they are doing what they’re doing.

"We was at the vidjual (that is how the witnesses, protesters, and FOX 2 news personnel pronounced it) and the police cheif called us a bunch of ignorant monkeys."

"eeekkk,eeeekkk"

Go ahead. Pull your pants down below your ass, grab your penis, and start doing some 'hip-hop'. That will surely convince everyone.

The race industry CEO’s probably have an agreement...Sharpton goes this week, Jesse goes next week and on and on...This all needs to be coordinated for maximum coverage, impact etc...

No doubt some locals in the industry see their opportunity to launch their own careers onto the national level.

The officer’s version of events does not even remotely match an alleged witness’ version.

The only witness I have heard was his grandmother, who wasn't even there when it happened.

She said he was running away. Then she said he was just standing there and put up his hands.

It can't be both.

And the insurance industry is probably paying congress off, to keep from paying out the trillions they would lose from country wide Obama inspired slash and burn.
