Protesters invoking Michael Brown and Ferguson burst into an auditorium at Harris-Stowe State University early Monday afternoon and briefly shut down a Martin Luther King Day celebration.
The protesters and Harris-Stowe students later confronted one another outside the venue, as police converged on the area.
Shortly before 1 p.m., as the King observance was in progress in the crowded auditorium, about two-dozen protesters came in waving an upside-down American flag and chanting "No Justice, No Peace."
They took the stage, and as the crowd began filing out angrily, they used a microphone to accuse the university and the clergy who were in attendance of being part of the "establishment."
Protesters left the stage and left the building after Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, appealed for calm. But later, the protesters and Harris-Stowe students confronted each other about the disrupted event.
"They came in here (being) so very disrespectful,” said Harris-Stowe freshman Shaquell Humphries, 18. "There are old folks and little kids in that auditorium and they (the protesters) started cussing.”
The King ceremony later resumed.

Good! Hope they keep going with this. Non stop in our face 24/7.
No justice, no peas! Hands down, pants up! Go see American Sniper.
Another story that’s headed for the memory hole.
They sure are good at shooting themselves in the foot. Look at how well the Boston thing went over.
If MLK were alive today would he be of a like mind with these thug-loving cretins?
“...Brown’s mother, Lesley McSpadden, appealed for calm.”
So, was she with the protestors or was she attending the event at the college?
I’m sure all the black people at the school just want to help the white man keep other black people down. Because that makes a lot of sense to me.
. . . paid for by Soros, no doubt?
Especially at a historically black college.
Protesters left the stage and left the building after Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, appealed for calm.
So she went there to molest these people trying to have a celebration.... and then wants to seem the saint?
Who do they call if things get rowdier?
911
The irony
I dont know what happened, but I’m damn sure some white people are at fault!!!!
Yes.
The thugs never heard of Martin Luther King. Too stupid.
He would be Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and all the other agitators.
That’s what I think.
Pants down, don’t run.
They don’t care about winning friends and influencing people. They’re all about intimidating people.
Now since our police services are so PC they are never even called out to respond, people are scared. We’re abandoning the rule of law in this country.
Thy are already crying racism over Sela tanking. I wonder what the race breakdown is on the two ticket sales. Because you just KNOW that is coming.
