St. Louis Shooting: Protest Against Vonderrit Myers Killing Stops Traffic In Shaw Neighborhood
International Business Times ^ | October 9, 2014 | Howard Koplowitz

Traffic in St. Louis’s Shaw neighborhood came to a standstill on Thursday after demonstrators protesting the shooting of a black teen killed by a white off-duty policeman blocked streets in the city’s Shaw neighborhood. The shooting Wednesday of Vonderritt Myers Jr. came two months after the shooting of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. While Brown was unarmed, authorities claimed Myers had a gun and shot at the off-duty officer before the cop retaliated with fatal gunfire.

Thursday marked the second day protests erupted in St. Louis. Washington Post reporter Wesley Lowery said St. Louis police officers used different tactics in overseeing the protests than the authorities in Ferguson, who came under criticism for using tear gas, rubber bullets and other methods to disperse protesters...

How about going out and getting jobs, you parasites?! The taxpayers who pay your bills can't afford to be out protesting, looting and rioting all day and night because they have to be at work the next day.

I hate to see what plywood is going for these days in Missouri. St. Louie is heading towards being the next Detroit.

I wish to goodness that they’d just go back to the Motherland.

On the north side, it’s already eclipsed Detroit (decayed/abandoned housing or just simply empty lots for street after street). It once had almost a million people, now it’s down to 300,000+. The south side, where most of the Whites are, is, conversely, doing well (intact housing, neighborhoods, restored historic areas).

There are some tactics from Bull Conner that ought to be deployed. No, no defense of that vile individual since he favored unions and other marxist ideas. But the firehoses and dogs that he made famous ought to be used on these ferals.

Just run them over if they get in the way of you getting to your job. As socialists, they will accept the deaths of a few so that the many can get their welfare checks.

Most slaves came from the West Coast of Africa. Mozambique is in the southeastern part of Africa.

Seriously, it’s appalling. 5 decades ago, their grandparents were fighting for basic civil rights (and jobs and education). Today, they’re fighting to stay in the filth, decay and perpetual cycle of violence and ignorance that decades of leftist, family-destroying politics have wrought. Hundreds of years of slavery couldn’t destroy the Black family and their dreams to better themselves, but mere decades of welfare statism did just that.

St. Louie is heading towards being the next Detroit.

Detroit is going to be like Disneyland compared to what St. Louie is going to end up.

The town is already full of anarchists chomping at the bit.

Since St. Louis on on the NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY, EVD-68 and Ebola are likely to find their way there, especially with all the 'liberal supporters' coming in from across the nation. This will just help spread any disease that arrives.

What will happen when these activists and local thugs get together after they all start getting sick ?

Does anyone think they will all start using CDC approved protection techniques ? Will those who start getting sick want someone or something to blame ?

It could get nasty. For everyone.

The MEDIA could help put a stop to this craziness if they just used some honesty and bluntness.

Of course, I don't expect that to happen.

Notice that no one in the photo seems to be ‘sad’ at the death of, uh.... what’s his name.... Some have smiles on their faces.

That’s how you can tell the photogs from the protestors, the photogs aren’t smiling.

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the Black community and their culture to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture.Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real Estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.

Very very good! But let me try, too.

The soaring cities of Africa and the spotless streets and superhighways of that advanced continent are the envy of the rest of the world. The high tech innovations and groundbreaking science of Africa are without parallel, leading to a better life for all of mankind. After all, who can deny the superiority of technology when it bears the moniker of African engineered?

Just burn it down already St. Louis. The cops are not going to let you run rough-shod over them. You got a problem with that?
