A raucous crowd disrupted speakers, threatened violence and accused police of murder Tuesday night as the fallout from the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., reignited.
And anyone who disagreed with the mob needed a police escort to get out.
That was the scene of democracy as protesters apparently conceive it during a meeting of the St. Louis County Council in Clayton, Mo., as a meeting called to conduct local government descended into two hours of near chaos and mob rule, according to an account by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The mob was on hand, of course, to protest the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man shot to death during a scuffle with a police officer Aug. 9.
The case is in the hands of a grand jury which now has until January to decide whether Officer Darren Wilson should face criminal charges. But the mob at Tuesday nights meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.

A raucous crowd disrupted speakers, threatened violence and accused police of murder Tuesday night as the fallout from the police shooting in Ferguson, Mo., reignited.
And anyone who disagreed with the mob needed a police escort to get out.
That was the scene of democracy as protesters apparently conceive it during a meeting of the St. Louis County Council in Clayton, Mo., as a meeting called to conduct local government descended into two hours of near chaos and mob rule, according to an account by the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
The mob was on hand, of course, to protest the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, a black man shot to death during a scuffle with a police officer Aug. 9.
The case is in the hands of a grand jury which now has until January to decide whether Officer Darren Wilson should face criminal charges. But the mob at Tuesday nights meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.
(For hanging later, no doubt.)
And if the grand jury completes its term and decides Wilson was justified in shooting Brown the mob threatened violence. It matters nothing to them that Brown had marijuana in his system at the time of the scuffle, had just used physical force to rob a nearby convenience store of the kind of cigars used to roll marijuana blunts, and was said by at least one witness to have been charging Wilson at the time of the shooting.
One speaker made it clear.
And the mob was even clearer, chanting what will happen if the justice system doesnt come to their preferred outcome: If we dont get it, shut it down.
And what modern mob scene would be complete without some version of the hey, hey, ho, ho chant libs have been using since at least the 1960s to boil thought away into mindlessness? In this case, it was accusing the police who maintain order of being murderers.
Amid the chants, one speaker even compared St. Luis County authorities to terrorists rampaging in the Middle East, beheading innocents, murdering Christians and selling women captives into sexual slavery, the Post Dispatch reported.
You are ISIS to black people, he said.
(Heres a hint thats wrong. If youre allowed to stand up and insult the guys on the dais, youre not dealing with murderous Islamic terrorists.)
And there was more. The mob even threatened to disrupt sports events like St. Louis Rams games and St. Louis Cardinals games as part of their demonstration.
That’s probably also why the grand jury has been extended to January 2015.
Very, very, very doubtful.
Got my vote.
ok by me. Any person Still living anywhere near there is a fool.
The organizers are at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They are working behind the scenes and covertly.
Bring an army?
Done.
No problem.
I love parades. ..
Amen!
You were taught something unbiblical if it came in those words.
Yet there is a proverb warning that the lazy man buries his hand in the dish and does not bring it to his mouth. Prudence but not terror should be the name of the game.
Can you believe this overt racism after we have paid all this reparation. I say shut it down. It didn’t work.
Barack would gladly let the black libbers take the head spot in a military parade.
$22 trillion worth!
Got blunts?
Or whatever the welfare total is that has been allocated to black people (but don’t count the white people).
In a couple of weeks we won’t be seeing any of these freedom fighters until late Spring, early Summer....
Bring an army? I see no reason to stop you from burning your own town down.
Mob rule - once it starts....
It does matter. The DOJ brought in agency personnel to advise the protestors. If they're still there they may be the ones organizing this, and getting them in contact with DNC agitprop mongers. If they are this turns ugly they're arguably guilty of inciting a riot. Any bets on how many of the people at this protest don't even live in Ferguson?
Private video, won’t let me in.
