I used to like visiting St Louis! I guess it’s off the map now!
Ferguson is a municipality in STL County. This entire arson and looting binge last night was isolated to a 10 - 12 block area. The vandalism and small looting near the Shaw neighborhood was limited to about an 8 block area. All directed at businesses. To my knowledge, no residential areas were affected.
I corrected someone on twitter last night who posted that she was ‘...literally watching Missouri burn down’. The media clearly showed that this was isolated last night.
The peaceful protesters in Clayton this morning began with a prayer service in Shaw Park and then manifested in to picketing and arm-linked protesting peacefully, sometimes disrupting vehicular traffic flow. Most in Clayton this morning were wearing safety orange vests labeled with ‘Clergy’. It is unclear whether they all were clergy.
