UPDATE: LIVE VIDEO BELOW
The situation has escalated in Ferguson, Missouri where people have been protesting the police shooting of the unarmed Michael Brown on Saturday night.
This town just North of St. Louis has become a powder keg, starting when the crowd started hurling bottles at a police line they had faced off with earlier tonight.
And now hundreds of idiots, who seem to be a majority in this crowd, have started looting nearly every single business in town.
Don't these people realize they have to wake up to this tomorrow morning? Just insanity.

I would guess that now that it is daylight, the ‘protesters’ are going back into hiding.
I wonder if this will be on network news ? (I don’t watch TV so I have no idea)

I hear the bookstore was untouched.
I missed out. Looking for a new TV
Re: Ferguson, MO: Their motto is “Proud Past, Promising Future”.
2000 Census: 44.75% white. 2010 Census: 29.1% white.
2020? Your guess is as good as mine, but if your guess is >2%, you need help.
I wouldn't bet on it.
This incident certainly is going to drive it to 2% or less.

Interesting.
On the west coast, like LA for example the black population has plummeted...
Even places like S. Central is probably 85 percent Hispanic now...A whole lot less crime in the past 15 years or so too.
I've read most over the past two decades left for places like Georgia, the south, the North east, Chicago, Midwest etc....
Bad shoot, if that's what happened.
From what I read, the suspect died in the street away from the cop car....The officers could have possibly shot him or at him in the car while the suspect was going for his weapon and the suspect ran off or stumbled away.
Only problem with that is I heard the suspect was shot again outside the vehicle. If the suspect had the officers weapon, how would the suspect get shot again outside the vehicle?
Has the media started posting pictures of an 11-year-old M Brown?
He's just a child, I tell you. They shot a child!
What a sad life. He doesn’t even loot well. Such a short time horizon and then what?
No, where animals have been rioting.
I saw a quote from baby mama "Why didn't the police use a club or a taser instead of a gun?"
That cop had seconds to decide how to preserve his own life, you had 18 years to produce a human, a citizen with respect for authority... and YOU failed.
I don't think it will even be a choice for businesses.
Insurance will likely become prohibatively expensive to operate a merchandise business in these neighborhoods.
And when all the businesses pull out of those areas, they’ll be classified as racist.
Or, when someone has their business in the area but lives in a safe community across town in the suburbs, they’re “leaches”.
He didn’t get the weapon.
Shooting him while he was running away is problematic.
I’d have to be more informed on procedures with fleeing suspects before passing judgement.
