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 night’s meeting demanded the justice system be ignored and Wilson placed under arrest now.

Ferguson mob swarms town meeting: If cop gets off, ‘ya’ll better bring every army y’all got. Cause it’s going down’
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 night’s 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 doesn’t come to their preferred outcome: “If we don’t 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.
(Here’s a hint that’s wrong. If you’re allowed to stand up and insult the guys on the dais, you’re 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.”
Okay. I’ve seen that photo and apparently there’s some disagreement whether or not it’s really the right guy.

Many people living there are elderly and own their homes. They’re not fools, but they know that moving would be a serious financial hardship. If they have a good relationship with their immediate neighbors (and many do, including white people with black neighbors), then they’re all the more likely to hang in there.
The agitators get the press, but they are a small minority of the whole.
“what would Putin do?”
When Rule of Law is abandoned in favor of appeasing mobs, the anarchy that results undermines law-abiding citizens’ trust that they will be protected by the government that is doing little else but taxing the hell out of them.
Then the next step is gang warfare, in this case divided by race and/or ideology. Finally, the population will be ready to accept the government stepping in and re-establishing order with an iron fist. Obama will thusly have the sort of authoritarian Latin American style dictatorship he obviously envies.
Obama’s divide-and-conqueror strategy is bearing rotten fruit.
What’s their FR nick?
State troops need to be there, opening fire on rioters. Better yet, the entire town should be surrounded by a bulldozed earthen barrier, then incinerated to ash.

Good point...
If all the decent folks move out of there & let the troublemakers do what they want,it won’t take them long to discover they just crapped in their own nest. The next step would be to not allow the said troublemakers to move out,but restrict them to the very mess they created.
A little mob activity today.

They surrounded a passing, started pounding on his car until he attempted to leave, then started screaming that “The KKK ran over a protestor”. The guy shooting the footage, who immediately made it “all about him” was feeding a stream that’s been pro-rioter throughout.
Note the protestors complaining about lack of media coverage.
The original story was ‘The KKK ran over a protestor’, then it became ‘a white guy ran over a protestor’, and the most recent version is ‘a white guy bumped into a protestor.
Also note that the supposedly “run over” individual is the one who’s running around with the camera moments later. Apparently getting run over isn’t what it used to be.
The more on scene photos you look at, the more Anthony you see.
Too bad their grandparents didn’t tell them about how to protest... The kids were disgusting.,
