Mo. (Reuters) - Hundreds of demonstrators in Ferguson, Missouri, angry at the shooting death of a black teenager by police took to the streets in the rain on Saturday night, hours ahead of a planned curfew called for by the state's governor.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency, as he and other officials seek to restore order after a week of racially charged protests and looting over the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer.
The curfew will run midnight until 5 a.m. CDT (0500 to 1000 GMT) until further notice, said Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson. Johnson was named by the governor this week to oversee security in the suburban St. Louis community that has been roiled by the Aug. 9 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
The mood among hundreds of protesters on a main road in Ferguson that has been the scene of recent demonstrations was tense and defiant on Saturday night, in marked contrast to the festive atmosphere of Thursday. Scores of police in bullet-proof vests lined the sides of the road in the rain.

Its saturday night.. what else are they gonna do? drive bys? break-ins ? slow night, compared to south side chicago
Betcha anything that curfew won’t be followed.
Good question; once these animals have been so emboldened by retreating law enforcement, it is difficult to get that genie back in the bottle. This place has become ungovernable for at least the next 10 years (when most of those partaking will be dead).
When you draw a red line and the mob crosses it you have two options:
1. Pull on your Big Boy pants and deal with the law breakers forcefully
2. Act like Barack Obama, pretend it didn’t happen, let the lawbreakers win, and show all the world what a pussy you are
Too little ... Too Late. Is sad that when the welfare, food stamps and all the other programs stop, what will be. We are just seeing what is the tip of the iceberg of what is above the surface of the deep. Unsustainable.
“Stop killing our children”
I like that sign. Just curious how many times she’s held it up when the Crips and Bloods do their daily/nightly shoot out and kill a kid. I’m guessing less that zero.

My mom, born in ‘32, used to tell me of the ‘cuttin’’ in the black community on the weekends.
That sign could last quite awhile,
I had my “Stop Judicial Tyranny!!” sign laminated. ;-}
1. Pull on your Big Boy pants and deal with the law breakers forcefully
2. Act like Barack Obama, pretend it didn’t happen, let the lawbreakers win, and show all the world what a pussy you are AND PLAY ANOTHER ROUND OF GOLF.
Protestors or rioters?
lol. they'll never stop.
I don’t blame him for anything anymore. I’ve come to the conclusion he is an Islamic enemy agent, basically because it’s the truth. So when you realize that you realize he is acting as ANY enemy of the US would act which is to destroy the USA which he is doing quite effectively.
So when that happens, who do we turn to? We turn to Congress. Congress is a line of defense made up of and by the people. Congress is the messenger boys and messenger girls that you and I hire. Only they are not doing their job to remove this piece of rat slime from office. So what can we do? We call our reps 24 hours a day 7 days a week like I do. I email them, and call them and constantly get on their ass to remove the enemy agent from office. It’s very simple, just look on the internet to find out how to contact your rep and you get on his or her ass 24/7. Make his or her life a living f*ckin hell on earth. FORGET Obama! We KNOW he is an enemy of the USA. The problem is no longer him, the problem is Congress who refuse to remove him from office!
Animals acting like animals. Nothing will pacify them.
Jay Nixon gave them permission to loot and riot up until midnight.
Thing is, is there anything left to loot?
Keep your powder dry. Keep your equipment clean.
Maybe by day 15 people there will wise up, arm up and tell the Highway Patrol to go write some tickets...

Hit or miss but funny overall.
“...Analysts warn the violence could spread toward oil-producing regions such as Oklahoma or even disrupt the flow of American beer supplies, some of the largest in the world”
If I was unfortunate enough to have Moochie waiting for me at home I'd learn to play golf too.
I might even learn to play it under the lights.
In the rain.
In the winter
Without a golf course or clubs.
Once the governor sided with the looters and race pimps against the Ferguson Police Dept. they knew he was their bitch.
