Protesters took to the streets in Ferguson, Missouri, late Tuesday night and looted a store, according to police, after a fire destroyed one of the memorials dedicated to 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was gunned down by a police officer this summer.
An unruly crowd gathered around 9 p.m. local time Tuesday on Canfield Drive in Ferguson, close to where the memorial site burned down earlier in the day, police said.
The crowd then made its way towards Beauty Town on West Florissant Avenue and began to loot the store. Police arrived at the beauty store quickly and were able to calm down the situation. It was the third time Beauty Town was looted since Brown was killed, police said.

And it would have been somehow different if a black cop killed Big Mike?
You know it would have, but I’d like to hear, from them, the “why” of it.
>>What do the Ferguson Blacks have against that beauty shop, attacking it the third time? Is it the last business left?<<
Hair stensions dog....hair stentions
“Some people just want to watch the world burn”
Ferguson is clearly beyond salvation—Nuke it and move on.
Hair extensions.
Very valuable on the street.
They are pretty expensive, and widely used. If you can score some, you can sell them for half price and make good money.
It’s akin to trading fur pelts back in the 1840’s.
I am glad the ‘thinker’ REMINDED us that the Police Shooter was White.
ABC News article cited below it neglected to tell us that the Police Shooter was WHITE.
If the ‘NEWS???’ keeps referring to the makeshift pile of garbage on the double yellow line as the “Michael Brown Memorial” then ‘they’ will keep acting like this.
Apparently the ONLY thing left in town is the beauty shop?
Why and for what good reason would ‘they’ keep looting it.
After the 1st time, if building was still open and doing business, the owner should have made it a point to remove all cash or negotiable things of value (food stamps etc) out.
If all that is left is Afro Sheen(??) or whatever, aren’t they hurting themselves?
Kind of like ‘looting’ the FREE FOOD BANK, they really aren’t hurting You, I or Corporate America. Just making it so the ‘Good Folk’ will no longer venture down to ‘that part of town’ to donate food and or clothing etc.
Whoever is in charge of these clowns needs to reevaluate their priorities.
Can’t wait for the first snow with the HUMAN SHIELDS guarding the Memorial from the snow plows.
Couple people 100% correct, put a fence around it, let those out that want out and are NOT on some video looting, then surround the area with a Check Point Charlie type set up allowing people in but NOT OUT if they can’t prove their legitimate need to get out.
When ‘they’ throw down their arms and surrender the felons, then reopen to the public... If anything is left.
Animals!
Nothing soothes the hurt feelings of police oppression like a hoodie full of free hair care products.
“... who was gunned down by a police officer this summer.”
ABC News. Fair and Balanced.
They must be after all that expensive hair straightener stuff they use.

“My first thought is that agitators started the fire.”
That was my initial thought as well.
looting stores is the most appropriate tribute to his memory.
A TV report said this pile of trash included 10 burning candles. Mixing lots of highly flammables and candles is par for the course for holders peoples. Stupidity burned it.
That was easy.
Probably some wiseass hosed it down from a distance with a super-soaker full of kerosene. Not that I would have, mind you.
I was not born a bigot. I was not a bigot during my school years in mixed race Philadelphia. But gradually, during the last 15 years or so, (I am 78,) due to events like these, certain monkey (no pun intended) trials, the corrupt, pervasive, welfare system, and reverse racism in society, I have become a bigot.
I think the reverse racism thing did it for me.
Why do we put up with this criminal behavior? Disburse the crowds with non-lethal means (preferably rubber pellets from a shotgun) and prosecute the thieves. This behavior is not a one time event but ingrained behavior simply taking advantage of a situation. Tolerance will only lead to more of the same as Ferguson’s history has already shown us.
