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.

I saw this coming.
Seriously, any store left in Ferguson that isn’t armed to the teeth is owned by someone with a very profitable insurance policy that can’t be canceled.
If the vast majority of people here were determined to have a business there, by now they would have a fireproof security screen, and a large sign that said “Robbers and Looters will be SHOT without hesitation”. And they would mean it.
I’m sure somebody here could probably muster up a belt-fed .30 caliber machine gun, 40mm shotgun shells (fired from an M-79), and likely a crate of fragmentary grenades, along with enough conventional arms and ammo to outfit a platoon.
Any excuse to burn, destroy, and steal.
did these idiots also set fire to the Memorial or did it spontaneously combust?
REICHSTAG FIRE!

Obama Complains About Ferguson Violence in Speech to UN About ISIS

Addressing the opening of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, President Barack Obama spoke about the need to defeat extremism abroad—and cited racial tension in Ferguson, Missouri at home.
The president had just told the assembled delegates and heads of state of the need to confront terror groups like ISIS, as well as extremism within Muslim communities. Then, as if to anticipate criticism of the U.S., he said:
I realize that America’s critics will be quick to point out that at times we too have failed to live up to our ideals; that America has plenty of problems within our own borders. This is true. In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions. And like every country, we continually wrestle with how to reconcile the vast changes wrought by globalization and greater diversity with the traditions that we hold dear.
Criticism of the president’s use of Ferguson as an analogy to extremism elsewhere in the world came swiftly:
.
- Napalm & Bulldoze Ferguson/Detroit and walk away
- Let the Baracks sleep on the empty streets and whine - its 90% Barack felons there already
